Cutting?

I would also recommend this one as well: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants/p1

I also had 120 pounds to lose. I am 42 away from my goal. What I can say that helped me was to set mini-goals. Not even about the scale sometimes. Sometimes it was a "I want to beat this hill so I don't feel like I am dying when I walk to work anymore" or even a t-shirt or a pair of pants I wanted to wear was a goal. If I…

Yes. I have lost 75 pounds. Was diagnosed prediabetic. This is the main reason for me losing weight, exercising, and strength training. It has taken me a little less than a year to do this but still have a ways to go. Need to lose another 40 or so pounds to be considered in a healthy weight range.

I have read through a lot of your posts recently. Please get help immediately for your thought processes and eating disorder. Many people have already mentioned you are not eating enough...which I would also state. Read through the post that aokoye wrote and get some much needed help ASAP.

You can do it! I was able to get my A1C down within the normal range by diet and exercise. Good for you for taking a step in the right direction.

My grandma used to make a strawberry pound cake when I was little. She never let me write down recipes. I always had to come over and smell/taste/see what she was doing. I have tried several times to make it over the years and I just refuse now. However, if she was still alive, I would eat it in a heartbeat.

I actually fit into a size 14 dress (US) and didn't even remotely look like an overstuffed sausage. I was pleasantly surprised! Bought it and am going to wear it for my date with hubby on Saturday!

@pinuplove and this is one of the many reasons why you are one of my heroes.

I think this is the one someone was mentioning!

So who wants to do the math for the calories on that!?

Ooo and this is a family favorite from Grandma too. Barley with mushrooms. Ugh, I am so hungry for it now...

I should have prefaced it with, I will only eat my grandmother's molten lava cake. I don't even want to know how she does it but it is delicious!

Homemade chicken noodle soup (noodles are homemade too) over mashed potatoes just like grandma used to make.

Unfortunately, mine is controlled by the kitchen in a hospital. Might I also say @quiksylver296 and @pinuplove you are my heroes. :smile:

I just wanted to let you guys know, I have been cracking up at this thread for quite a while. I appreciate the humorous aspect of all of this. Now....I want at least 3 Party Size Bags of Doritos and some hot chocolate because it's cold in my office.

My A1C is now down in the "normal" range!!!!!!

That stinks because I just got a new mattress in February of this year. But then again, I am 70 lbs down.

I am also having that issue. If you sleep on your side does your shoulder hurt in the morning too? Or am I just old?

Still have a ways to go but am proud of what I have accomplished so far.

Your bed feels bigger.

I have hit onederland!!!

Down 62 lbs since the beginning of July. Diet only. The only thing I changed was in January when I began walking 2 miles because of work.

I have always wanted to hike in Colorado. So my husband is saving back money so we can spend about a week just relaxing and enjoying nature.

Went from a size 3XL in coat sizes to a Large! Super excited about that! I got my winter coat out from last year and I look ridiculous in it!

@shadow2soul - I have been looking for the sustainability numbers you posted so thank you! Are they here somewhere on MFP?

That even though you get to your goal weight, you might not be happy like you think you will be.

@jdubois5351 - Congratulations! I have a pair of dragon pants for my next mini-goal. They were so cute; I just could not pass it up!

My NSV today is my Fitbit now shows me at Fair for Cardio Fitness!! Excited right now and will continue to work on improving but thought I should share with the group here!
