Wow thats interesting! Seems like genes play a huge role!

I'm sorry to hear that :(

"I blame my second child", that made me giggle!

I'm in!

I understand, it seems like 'the end' is a destination that we'll never reach. Even though we reach our "goal weight", we still have to tone or work on maintaining or we will fall back into old habits. Congratulations! You deserve some recognition!

You are almost to your goal!! How does it feel?

Hey! I am 20 (Not too much older than you) and I totally commend you for taking control of your life now. I've always been obese and sent to the nutritionist after weighing myself in front of my doctor. Losing weight really helped me with my confidence and depression. 55 pounds ago I would of never had the courage to put a…

Loose skin definitely shows all the hard work you put in!! I am still a little scared.

I'm here!

I worry about them or else I will go overboard. Counting calories and to a certain extent counting macros works for me. I just need to figure out how much I am going to allow myself. I know myself and I need some sort of restriction of them or ill go back into old habits. Thanks for the response :)

Add me if you'd like :)

Congratulations! Pictures at your heaviest weight can make you cringe. I know mines do lol

Thanks for the very insightful response. I'll keep that in mind on my journey!

Awesome!! How much?

Just ate a serving size of Special K cereal with unsweetened almond milk, something I would usually stay away from due to it being half my carbs for the day (25g) and I feel amazing! Way more full! Thanks for all the helpful advice guys!

Agreed!!! Thank you!!!

Even though Dr.Atkins proven to not die of heart attack due to low carb, this thread has truly opened my eyes. This under 50 carbs a day is not sustainable. Maybe under 100 or less?

It will trust me! Its hard because you are used to eating whatever and how much of it you want but you'll adapt!

We got this!!!!!

Thank you for your encouragement! Also, thank you for your service!

You'll love this app! So many great people here!

I was 301 pounds when I was a size 22. Now I wear a size 16 at 245 :). I am 5'8 though which is considered tall.

Wow that heart attack thing was just what I needed to hear! I am definitely going to go up in carbs!!!!!!!

Thank you for your kindness!! Congrats on your loss as well.

Thank you hun! I'll definitely work on my cardio while incorporated toning but focus on cardio more. Maybe I'll go full blown toning in the end? I appreciate your response. :blush:

God bless you... you are incredible for what you are doing for your family. Forget that one hater on your post. Not everyone will agree with you but just know you are on the right track!

Omg thank you! My starting weight was off as well.

Watching Youtube, I know it sounds boring but It passes time.

That is definitely something I have to work on! I need to start toning and not so much cardio.
