Awesome!!! I am also aiming for a goal weight of 135lbs. Such a pain trying to lose the last 8lbs. Any tips to keep motivation on the last lbs?

Yes, for me the Dressing on salads were the surprise. I love caesar salad but needed to be careful on how much dressing i put in it because that would defeat the purpose in having a salad at all.

hahaha... i was about to say the same thing... cucumber on a Mexican taco?? never.

You go girl!!

Agree with this. The good thing about my two best friends is that we have never liked the same guy (even movie actors). Which means we look for totally different things in guys. But you have to know what kind of girl your going for. All three of us are independent women which means we want a confident and stable man not…

I agree. we all know its water weight and we all know it will come off in a week or so.. but man is it hard to see the number go up. I also try to stay away from the scale but when you feel fat in an emotional state during PMS its hard. I once cried because my friend drank the last coke. So more then likely I am going to…

Wow! You look amazing!!

Boy do i agree. I also grew up in a traditional Hispanic family, but my mom made darn sure i knew how to do chores. Doing my own laundry and cleaning around the house by 12 and cooking food by 13. This will help you and your child. I can totally voucher for it. LOL it helps when you head off to college and need to take…

Tea for weight loss... umm I don't think so. Hot teas help me consume water in a different way so maybe its helpful for you in a different sense. But for weight loss I agree with everybody on Calorie deficit will get you there.

There are so many benefits from losing weight I lose track. This site was super helpful.

I totally agree!!! I always have to say i am not on a diet I've just changed my eating habits. But if i want a slice of pizza or a slice of cake I'll have it if it fits in my calories!!!

I didn't get negative feed back when i was just starting to lose but I do agree that now that I am closer to my goal weight I keep getting the comments to stop losing weight. I am not yet where i want to be so those constant comments do put you off. I keep wanting to hear the stories of others so that I can keep motivated.…

Great Job!!

I have 4.6 pounds to go until I hit my initial goal.

OMG!!! what you said has happen to me. I ate cause the food was good, i kept eating, and my stomach didn't feel full. It wasn't until I stop eating that I felt so full i seriously felt like i would blow up. I got so sick that night and the next day i couldn't even look at food. You would think I wouldn't let that happen…

Great Job!!

I am 5.8 lbs from GW. I just completed my last mini goal of being in the Normal BMI category as of this morning!!!

I do agree on the comments. I do noticed how at first I kept getting positive comments like "wow, you are doing great" and my Goal Weight is at my higher BMI for normal category. However, now the comments have been changing to "you should stop losing weight" or " your skinny enough why continue". These comments are the…

Awesome! Any tips?

I hear you!!! Me too! Always hated shopping for clothes but now I can now feel comfortable and know that something will fit. I guess the hard part was to mentally prepare myself of the size i actually was versus what I thought. Kept getting the bigger sizes for a while.

Great job!!

I agree. I had a lot of people compliment me on my weight loss. However, I've yet to reach my normal BMI which is 2lbs from it and 10lbs from my goal weight. Currently i have more and more people saying I am getting to thin and maybe i should stop. However, its the same people who have seen me overweight since they knew…

Mini goal to reach my goal weight of 135 (CW 142) by end of May since I'll be going on vacation.

I had a 5K run two weeks ago and finally after so long ran each mile under 10 mins. My time was 28:56. Never, i mean never would i have thought that i would get that time. Started at 17 min a mile since I really never ran. Started working at it since 5 years ago.

I guess it does depend. I was still losing weight when I would not get enough sleep or with it. However, the difference shows up in the next day. I feel tire, more times hungry (probably the signals for being sleep deprived), or grouchy when i don't get enough sleep. If i add one or 2 hours of sleep to my routine I feel…

Totally agree. I keep thinking I am only going to workout 15min. You might think "why go change and do all that for 15 mins"? You will be surprise how many time i have convince myself that way and end up doing way more. Besides 15 mins of something is better then nothing. Plus it keeps you from not losing the routine.

I would drink hot teas. For some reason it helped when I was sipping it bit by bit. I usually want to eat (not because i was hungry) when i was watching TV or lazying around so a nice hot tea helped. But a tea that you really like. My favorites were limon & orange tea or just green tea.

To lose 3lbs and get to the Normal BMI Category. Then 9lbs to go for overall goal weight. Total weight loss would be 60lbs lost if I hit my overall GOAL weight!!!

Looking Great!! I am 5'3 and i started at 186. i am down over 40lbs but losing the last 15lbs seem so hard. So thanks for the motivational speech. Your right on many of your points!

Great Job in completing your goal!! Motivates me to keep going even thought sometimes its hard I know that I'll get there. Thanks for the motivation.
