If I could "like" this 1000 times, then I would!

I walked 1.99 miles in 42.5 minutes; 323 calories burned! B)

I try not to let the scale get the better of me, because unfortunately I am one of those women who gains water weight during both major parts of her cycle...so there are *two* weeks every month where I've gained roughly 3 (average) pounds of water weight! It's frustrating as hell, but since I've started keeping track of…

Thank you for saying this.

Thank you! This is the same line of thinking I have, but I wasn't able to get the words to come out in a meaningful way. Anyone and everyone can have something about them that is outwardly "acceptable" in society, but they still hate themselves. The same can be said for that someone that has something that is…

Agreed! It is so easy to get out and walk when the sun is out and there's a nice breeze and I'm not gasping for breath from the humidity! After my walk yesterday I was highly disappointed that I had to go back to work because it was such a gorgeous day and my heart was pumping!

I'm in! I just started taking walks on my lunch break at work and this fits great with that.

I've been back and forth since forever I was a heavy child, and I was once bribed by my father and his second wife to lose weight by offering me 50 cents per pound. Needless to say when I started losing weight, they didn't pay, so there went my motivation! As an adult it's been crazy. I was on the South Beach Diet about 5…

Hi, Marabeth! We have very similar numbers! BW: 347 CW: 283 GW: 180 How long have you been working on it?

In regards to this challenge (and not my overall weight journey), I'm starting on August 26th, so anything listed before that date is not considered. SW: 287 lb GW: 267 lb W4 8/25: 287 W5 9/1: 286 W6 9/8: W7 9/15: W8 9/22: W9 9/29: W10 10/6: W11 10/13: W12 10/20: W13 10/27: W14 11/3: W15 11/10: W16 11/17: W17 11/24:…

With Labor Day here...I’m not sure if I’m fortunate to be sick and therefore not having much of an appetite...or if I’m annoyed by it because I don’t have the energy to play with my son outside!

I understand! Even for a woman my size, I have a small chest, and that has *always* been a sensitive issue for me. When I got my first reality check on how much weight I've lost, I was down three pants sizes, two shirt sizes...and then one bra size. My heart sunk on that last one! However, that bit in the chest that I lost…

Thank you for sharing! The fear of the issue with loose skin is *one* of the many reasons that I have allowed myself to relapse previously on diets. It scares me a lot. When I was 18 I was in a car accident that resulted in a small portion of skin being removed from my left knee. Since then my knee has felt weird. For…

I want sexypants, too! Never had them before, so that could be fun!

I'm with you 100%! I'm sick of being disgusted when I look in the mirror. I'm sick of wondering how my boyfriend could *possibly* find anything physically attractive about me. I'm sick of worrying about if I will be able to play with my son at the park when he gets a little older...and being able to do so without people…

I’m in, too!! This looks like fun! A great way to get and be supportive! I just worry about that dreaded last week...Thanksgiving week! Dun dun dun!!!! In regards to this challenge (and not my overall weight journey), I'm starting on August 26th, so anything listed before that date is removed. SW: 287 lb GW: 267 lb W4…

I bought a bottle this weekend because *so* many sites and apps, and other miscellaneous places I've researched all state that MCT oil *can* help in losing weight when on Keto. I haven't tried it yet because the possible side effects scare me. That and the fact that this may not help at *all* and I just wasted $14 on this…

I must say...that is one of the COOLEST ideas I have ever heard of in ways to acknowledge your milestones! I may just have to borrow that idea and see what I can come up with! I just hit my 60 lbs lost milestone this weekend, and I'm so thrilled that I could shout it from the rooftops! I've "dieted" for years and only ever…

That sounds nice! Maybe I'll ask him to do that for me too (for the days he's at my house)!

Water weight-gain has been a thorn in my side for years and I didn't even know it until I started on Keto! I gain roughly 3 pounds not only when on my actual period, but also when I'm on my fertile days! Talk about frustrating. Fortunately, though, the water always "falls off" by the time that part of the cycle is…

Thank you! And you are *exactly* right...my nutritionist has always focused on me watching the carbs, but I cannot remember a single conversation we've had where she has mentioned counting calories! I didn't think much (if anything) of it until recently when I started doing a little more research on why I was stalled for…

SW: 347 CW: 287 GW: 150-180 Finally getting it done! I have a 2.5 yo little boy who loves to run and play, and likes me to be on the floor with him to play. AT 347 that hurt! So he's my motivation. I want to be able to play with him in th park, and to not avoid sitting on the floor to play with him just because I fear the…

I'm Jess, 58 lbs down, with at least 109 to go...and even though I will still be considered overweight by the experts. What I'm looking for is to be able to run around and play with my little boy without feeling like I was hit by a truck afterwards! My doc has me on a modified version of Keto (50g instead of 20g of carbs).…

Hi all! Just started with the app to help boost progress on a very long journey. 58 down, 109 to go!

I dropped several pounds of water weight very quickly when I first started, too. But, they stayed off as long as I was vigilant about what I was eating. So, hopefully yours will, too. I have noticed that there are *two* times a month where I gain water weight back, even if I'm not gaining actual weight. One is at the…

New to the app, but I've been working on my weight for some months now. I'm feeling a tad out of place here. I started at 347 just before Thanksgiving of 2018. That was not, however, the heaviest I have ever been. I'm currently at 289, with another 109 pounds to go (at least). I started off great, but for the past few…
