I signed up for a half-marathon today! I’ve been talking about it for a few months now but hadn’t actually made the commitment. Well now $90 is gone and I have 8 months to get ready!

I have SparkPeople. I don't calorie count on there but I do like the community. I use the Nike Run app to track my runs, you could use it to track walks too. Happy Scale is where I log my daily weigh-ins. I like that it gives me a moving average and I feel like it helps me understand my weight fluctuations more so I don't…

2019 is definitely my year! I’m hoping to lose 28 lbs by May in time for my SIL’s wedding :)

Original starting weight: 190 December starting weight: 153.1 December goal: 149 Ultimate goal: 120 December 01 - 153.1 December 07 - 152.0 December 14 - 150.7 December 21 - 147.8 December 28 - 150.5 December 29 - 148.7 - pretty big woosh this morning, it’s nice to see most of that holiday weight gone 😊 December Total:…

MFP is free, calorie counting is simple and easy. I don’t see a reason to pay for something like WW when MFP is a simple tool that helps me lose weight for free.

Greek yogurt Salads - usually a Kale Caesar Salad with chicken or hard boiled egg Veggies An apple or banana or orange String cheese I don’t eat big lunches so I usually do some combination of these that is around 200 calories.

I’m planning on doing 30 day shred starting Jan 1! It seems like a fun way to kick off the new year :)

I didn’t track/log at all for 3-4 days while I was visiting family for Christmas. I have absolutely no idea how many calories I had. I didn’t worry about it. I enjoyed good food with good company. The scale is up a couple pounds but I’m not stressed about it. I’ll lose those pounds quick enough. And I’m still under the…

I’m really short so this probably doesn’t work for everyone but I just have my husband hide my treats from me in high places :D I’ll ask him to get small amounts down for me when I have the calories for a bit of a treat.

You could just use less creamer or try the sugar free stuff. If you use just one serving it’s only 30-35 calories and in the grand scheme of things the creamer you put in your coffee is not where you are going to maximize or minimize the health/nutrition of your diet.

I use Happy Scale. I like that it breaks my weight loss goal down into 10 mini-goals which I always find motivating when I hit. It’s also easy to use and I haven’t had any problems with it.

I just focus on eating within my calorie limits and getting enough protein. That’s it.

I have a Weight Watchers Scale and am pretty happy with it. Do I think it’s perfectly accurate? Probably not. But it’s fairly consistent and usually matches up with the scale at the doctor’s office. I think it was like $20 at Target.

Weight loss is never linear, even at the start. When I started in September my weight actually spiked up before it went down. But if I had given up then I wouldn’t be where I am now. Your weight is going to go up and down and there’s a bunch of different reasons for those fluctuations. As long as the trend over time is…

Girl, we have all been there! At the end of August I was also sitting on my couch bawling my eyes out after stepping on the scale and realizing I’d gained back almost everything I’d lost in 2017. Eat your soup, don’t worry about going over today and let yourself cry. And then make a plan to get back on track tomorrow. You…

My husband has always been thin. He wears the exact same size pants now as he did when we met 10 years ago. He has a pretty active job and a higher than average metabolism (tested and confirmed by a doctor). But he’s endlessly supportive of my weight loss efforts. I’ll admit that sometimes I jealous that it seems like he…

I’m already married but I am hoping to reach my goal weight (or very close to it) by my sister-in-law’s wedding in May :)

I only measure once a month just because I think I lose inches slowly but I know some people measure weekly. I know a drop a couple inches before dropping a pant size so it can be a nice way to see smaller increments of change since, for me at least, it takes a while for me to fit into the next size down.

@LadySaton - Do you take measurements? I always think I’m not losing weight in my stomach but this time around I decided to take measurements on the first of every month and I’m always losing more there than I think I am.

- I would like to do a half-marathon. There’s one in October I think I could be ready for. - I want to get in some snowshoeing this winter - Lots of hiking in the summer

@GottaBurnEmAll - You look incredible! Such inspiring progress!

A few of my favs: Pound the Alarm & Starships - Nicki Minaj Lose Yourself - Eminem Runaway Baby & Uptown Funk - Bruno Mars Living on a Prayer - Bon Jovi Girls Just Want to Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper Call Me - Blondie Hooked on a Feeling - Bjorn Skifs Yes, my playlist is all over the place

Yup, I’d eat it. I have zero problems with the idea of eating insects.

Greek yogurt, string cheese, or hard boiled eggs are my typical snack foods. For dinners: Salmon rice Bowls, Tacos, grilled chicken with veggies
