Hit 182 today. Started at 190 on January 1st. Another two pounds to go :)

Also I just started a beautiful pot of vegetable soup that I'm really excited about! I figured while I'm being kind to myself I might as well eat well and get lots of vitamins. :smiley:

Today I'm focusing on self-care and staying within my calorie goals. (Try not to go over 1500 for the day and most of the time I'm lower. Just depends on the day really.)

I'm down 7 pounds so far. It's definitely possible for me to lose 3 more in 2 weeks.

Started around 190 on January 1st, I'm 183 today. Haven't lost quite as much as I'd prefer but it's a good start for this year. 3 more pounds and I'll have lost a total of 60lbs.

I use saccharine in my coffee and tea most of the time. I bought some stevia to try but didn't realize it was mixed with erythritol. Might have to look around for a different brand. Can't do very much sucralose as I end up with stomach cramping, nausea, and lots of gas. Otherwise aspartame and what not in diet soda seems…

I've been averaging a deficit of 300-500 calories not including any light exercise I may have done to burn off more and it's been 10 days with no real change in my weight. A bit frustrated at this point. I was hoping I wouldn't hit a plateau.

A bit frustrated. I've been eating under maintenance for over a week at this point and I've fluctuated up and down slightly but really haven't lost any weight yet. Basically my weight plateaued again (it's happened before several months back). Trying not to be too discouraged.

Not sure where my reply went. Goals for today: -walk 2 miles (did 2.2) -do 20 modified push-ups (depends on if my arms have recovered from the day before yesterday) - eat less sugar today than I did yesterday

189.2 today. My foot has been hurting me when I put weight on it so I took it easier today. Still did exercise, just not a full hour, only 20 minutes of cardio. I think it's my body adjusting to moving more. Just don't want to overdo it and then end up setting back my progress. On track for my calories for the day so far…

I wasn't able to exercise as much today because my foot's been bothering me a bit so I've been trying to give it a rest today. Still did some walking, still did some floor exercises and cleaning the house. and this might sound silly but I log my piano playing as well because I do move when I'm doing that (especially for…

Damn straight I'm in. I've already joined the lose 30 in 3 months group. This really shouldn't be too bad. I'll go by my lowest weight so far as I put on water weight from yesterday. Starting 188, goal to be 178 or lower by Valentine's Day. I'm feeling pretty confident based on my weight loss through just diet over the…

Daily though I'll miss a day or two here and there.

Lol did *kitten* get bleeped out? That's the only thing I can think of as to why it says kitten.

Definitely hitting 240. And having to use a walker periodically because I'd developed fibromyalgia. That was my "this is it" moment like I'd better get serious with this or my entire life will be *kitten*. I refused to spend another single moment so sick in my 20's (granted I've really not been healthy for a long while now…

Today I will walk for at least 30min. I did a lot of walking yesterday so gonna take it easier today. I'll also drink more water. Definitely didn't get enough yesterday! And I forgot to track what I did.. which I really should be better about. I'll also consciously sit/stand up straighter. My disc doesn't hurt so much if I…

This sounds awesome. Absolutely doing this. Hehe

Definitely in. :smiley: I lost 52 this year without much exercising so I can only imagine my adding in more exercise this year will make a big difference in the amount lost. :smile:

Getting into size 16 jeans. I'm in 18's right now. Tossed out all but one pair of my 22's from last year. Tossing the 20's as well. There's no going back from this this time!

Fruit with full fat plain Greek yogurt and honey. Tastes like heaven to me and surprisingly low in calories while still giving you a bit of protein. Also I'm a weirdo but I love a banana drizzled with a little Hershey's simply 5 syrup and topped with some reddiwhip. Really low calorie but to me is just as good as a bowl of…

I just buy one of those big bags if frozen mixed berries and one big bag of strawberries, sometimes a few others. I was using unsweetened vanilla almond milk for a while in mine (plus a couple sweetener packets) but it looks like I'll be avoiding nuts for the time being after having a reaction to them. I use either 1% or…

Today it was an hour of walking in place (plus later I'll be walking a bit with the hubby). Figured even walking in place has to be better than nothing. If I'm feeling fine later I'll do some floor exercises, stomach crunches, and a little arm work with my 5lb. weights.

Mostly German sweets/various products. Sometimes I have to create a food as it's not listed.

I made Sauerbraten for the first time over Christmas myself. With red cabbage and mashed potatoes. Also had carrots and onions cooked up with the roast (which my husband said wasn't authentic but oh well, tasted good to me lol). Yesterday's dinner was healthy request cream of mushroom chicken in the Crock-Pot with a…

Hey there! We're the same height it looks like. I started last Christmas at 240 pounds and as if yesterday I'm 188. Pretty much the only thing I changed was tracking how much I was eating and cutting calories. I also changed what I was eating to focus on getting a good amount of protein in my diet. Within the past few…

Been averaging around 1500. Sometimes less, sometimes more. Just kinda depends.

One I used to do all the time in highschool: Eat cape cod potato chips with ketchup. Super tasty. Like extra crunchy french fries.
