This is so interesting! I looked back at my workout a year ago on March 2, 2019! I was 275 pounds on this date and I burned so many more calories because I was not as in shape as I am now. This is now:

@InsanityFan1 if you scroll through this page with your phone in your right hand you can mistakenly click on the disagree button without intending to do so. It can be disappointing to see that dang “disagree” button but I don’t believe it’s being done on purpose..in my humble opinion 😬

@Sableprncs ...@RavenStCloud so lovingly starts this group each month and it’s wonderful! Here is the post she starts with each month:

@Sableprncs okay..I’m gonna try this again😂. I noticed you posted on another thread and wanted to invite you to this wonderful “Women 200+” group which has been absolutely wonderful.

@Curvybaja55 It is very empowering for sure!

@thebabadon you look like you’ve more than six pounds🤯

@AlexandraFindsHerself1971 I love those inspiring moments! Your doing a great job! I’m so proud of you!

Good Morning Lovely Ladies! Well! Today was the day! The first weigh in since my decision to go 25 days without cookies (my Lu Le Petit eColier), ice cream (Haagen Daz chocolate) and chips (Lays). It was a struggle the first few days but my “village” motivated me to stay strong!! I’m so proud to say I’m a little ahead of…

@svm569 🥰having a supportive hubby is an absolute blessing🥰. You can do this!

@svm569 how does your sodium intake look. That’s what gets me sometimes. You’ve increased your calories...does that mean your eating more sodium?

@springlering62 “My New Job Is Me!” I love it! That is an awesome motto!!

@bonitathompson1 Long post alert😂😂, I started my weight loss journey 6 months after I retired (1/31/2018). I say my start weight was 288...but that was actually on 6/1/18 so I’m sure I weighed more but was too scared to get on the scale when I retired😬. For six months after I retired we were a cross between snowbirds…

@mmdeveau DKA is no joke. I know of two people who have died from DKA. My PCF said KETO is a low card high fat diet which is not good for anyone long term. He’s seen patients have short term success with long term negative consequences.

@bonitathompson1 thank you so much! When I was going back through my photos and came across that photo it was like WOW!

@svm569 for more of us..it normally takes 2-3 months to loose 14 pounds...and more time to loose 20 pounds. Remember we didn’t put the weight on overnight..and we are definitely not gonna loose it overnight. I’ve found that everything I do and say affects the mental part of my journey...conquering the mental part is what…

Yesterday I hit one of my goals of being under 230 pounds before our vacation to New Orleans in March! Now I’m working on hitting 225 before we hit Cafe DuMonde😂😂!!

Happy Happy Happy! Made it to my initial goal weight 30 days ahead of time🎊. We are heading to New Orleans on vacation in March and I really wanted to be under 230 pounds. I had a crazy eating week after Valentines Day but still managed to be under 230! Hoping to hit 225 before we hit Cafe Du Monde😂😂!!

Made it to my first goal weight 30 days ahead of schedule!! I wanted to be under 230 before our New Orleans vacation in March!! I shared my updated photos with a coworker who hadn’t seen me since I retired on January 31, 2018. He could not believe it!! SW: 288 CW: 229.4 The photo below is two weeks before retirement (left)…

Reading through our page is like peeling back layers of an onion to get to the best parts of us. As I thought about this I googled "layers of an onion" and found this interesting reading from a book called "Peeling the Onion": "The first layer is called the Cliché layer. It’s what we do when we go to a party, or meet…

@RobAS355 I am absolutely certain that you've been told you now look like Mark Wahlberg!!

@Bella_Figura I love the way your looking at this journey! I GET IT😊

Thank you so much @KeriA. I see what I went through as more harrowing than inspiring. It gutted my sense of self..what little I had at that age. As I moved through my young adult life I carried this with me not really knowing how to deal with it...or put it in a box. It wasn’t until I was selected as a Federal Law…

“When did I start loving myself?” My mother, God bless her soul, was a very heavy drinker and smoker…and she married a man who was the same. She was a single parent before he came into our lives and we lived in complete fear from the very first memory of him. My outlet was track and field and I loved it. I was doing well…
