I walked 10k today and it’s been a really long time since I’ve done that! Haven’t lost much yet but I hope I stay on track!

This makes a lot of sense! I forgot that’s how it worked I was thinking I had to adjust my goal every time I exercised. Thank you!

After 1 month of logging I've lost 9 pounds and a total of 12 inches throughout my body! Especially my thighs at 5 inches each! If anyone would like to add me feel free! :) i need motivation and food ideas. Somedays it feels impossible to reach my goal but I won't give up!

Thank you everyone!

Im 5'5, 230 lbs, 27 year old female. I used a calculator from the helpful posts thread on the top in the general diet forum.

Thank you so much! How long has it been since you started? I always seem to lose motivation and can't get past 3 months

Wow! That's a great loss congrats! Im 237 myself and 5'5 but a size 18 lol how many calories did you eat in a day? How many carbs? How heavy are your weights? I tried to lose last year from july- October and I lost 17 lbs and gained more but i'm hoping this time around will be my time! Thanks for the motivation :)

Anyone know if I'm hurting from doing my exercises right or wrong? Lol this is my second day doing a low impact cardio video for 20 minutes and yesterday I thought I could go faster today and now my legs are sore! Haha i'm hoping it's a pain that will result in good and not bad :o

You're all so great! I'm so thankful for everyone's response! Hearing different stories is so helpful! I've gone 5 days strong so far! Hoping to make it to a 30 day streak :) I hope to hear from more people if possible and congrats to you all for reaching your goals!

Excited to be back on this app! I've neglected mfp for 9 months but i'm back! Im ready to lose this 90 lbs! Hopefully I can post every week or 2 with success :) Edit to add: Height:5'5 Age:26 Highest Weight:240 SW:237 CW:235 GW #1:200 GW #2:175 UGW: ~145

Your story made me tear up a bit as I've felt the struggle for so long myself! I've gotten on and off the healthy eating bus but now that I have mild health issues, there's no better time than now to start. Thank you for sharing your journey you are truly an inspiration! :) congrats to your new journey ahead

Keep going! You are such an inspiration! Congrats on your weight loss!

Did your hypothyroid issues lessen after going vegan? I'm struggling with hyperparathyroidism and the symptoms are similar so just asking. My energy is at a standstill..more like a sitstill ha! But I've been considering a vegan diet. Congrats on your weight loss! You look great and it gives me hope!

Yes I barely had my first appointment last week to go over blood tests. I'm hoping she is good. I've had an ultrasound showing a growth on one of the nodules so I've been reading up that once they remove it that my symptoms should go down a lot. But i'm hoping she will suggest removing it and not just medication.

Wow I’m so impressed! And inspired! And a little jealous lol that is so awesome! You look fabulous! Is your diary open to friends so I could add you and peek at your diary? :) I have a little one too and he is an energy ball I’d love to be in shape to be with him. But Wow!! I’m still in awe that this transformation…

You are such an inspiration! If I may ask, how long did it take you? I’ve lost 27 so far in 4 months with October only losing 2 pounds but I’m not giving up and this definitely motivated me again so thanks for sharing :)

This is all great advice that led me to do a 5k hike on Saturday morning and I’m going again next weekend! Thank you all for taking the time to share your inspiration! I know motivation won’t take me too far that was probably the wrong word to use but now I have this thread to reflect back to when I’m feeling crummy again!…

Thank you for this advice! I think I do need to incorporate being more mindful because I have so many issues and bad situations going on lately I let them suck the positivity out of me and I just get stuck on those bad issues in my head over and over but maybe if I’m more mindful I can at least let my mind go to a somewhat…

I thought I was being habitual for a while there when it was going good for like 10 weeks with occasional bumps.. but then I just stopped which was weird but obviously not fully stopped since I’m still here but I just have a lot more things on my mind now and not just like “oh what am I going to eat what fits in my…

Thanks. It definitely will take time and my determination is still there I just have to find my way back.

I’m glad we can hold each other accountable! Weight loss journeys are no joke! It definitely helps if you have someone to ask advice to. Thanks for responding everyone :)

You look WONDERful hehe!

Wow! Way to go what an awesome accomplishment:)

Thank you! Yes I've heard to eat no more than half back depending on the number?

Punk rock all the way. There's a thing called heavy metal yoga that I just saw on YouTube haha! It was awesome

Yes! In my environmental science class, we learned about NDD. Nature deficit disorder. And it's my generation affected greatly by this due to technology. If we are disconnected with the earth, then we are ultimately disconnected from ourselves. Great post

Just bought a size large sweater yesterday when I would have gotten a xl/xxl before! :) down 15 pounds

Thanks for sharing:) you look great and sound like you are ready to do big things! Congrats on your journey

Here again to tell you how great you look! lol your pics are so motivating and inspirational:) how long did it take you to get here?

How did you like the hypnosis? Are there side effects to that?
