I love popcorn so this is my go to snack. (Simply Nature organic popcorn 35 calories per cup, 4 cups is my usual serving which is quite a bit). Also carrot sticks, celery sticks, cherry tomatoes or bell peppers dipped in Skinny Girl chipotle ranch dressing (15 calories for 2 Tbsp). Lots of ways to satisfy the need to chew…

Hi Sonjakohl, congrats on your weight loss! I lost 140 and as a result excess skin on my stomach was hanging very low. It would slap and flap when I was in Zumba and I would develop a visible crescent sweat stain (so usually only wore black) plus I had to lift it to wash underneath when showering. My boobs also drooped. I…

Definitely doable- I started at 360, now 229. My journey has been years in the making and had a lot of starts and stops but not giving up is key! My goal now is to get to 180 in 2024. Age 62(f), 5’6”. You absolutely can do this - get moving with exercising, water and a calorie deficit. I accomplished my weight loss with…

Thanks for sharing the blog details - - love the mean girl photo (I've beat my inner critic up pretty good over the years but she is a resilient old broad and keeps popping into my head to self-sabotage my efforts).

Nice message with today's nugget. I've lost a lot of weight and am still what some would call "plus size" but I'm pretty pleased with my curvy look - tired of wasting my precious life comparing myself to an impossible standard and women years younger than me. I just want to focus on eating better and working out with a few…
