  • There have been lots of little NSV's lately. But the one that really got my attention was trying on new jeans (my old ones were literally falling off of me). I was wearing a size 20 back in early April. Now I am in a 14 and they have some slack in the waist. This was a huge NSV for me.

  • Folks are always looking for a magic pill. I get a lot of people asking me how I have lost 53 pounds since April. But as soon as I say proper nutrition (not just eating cleaner, but tracking portion size, macros...etc) and commitment to working out, they kind of get that glazed look and they lose interest really quickly.…
    in Amazed by people's assumptions of how you lose weight Comment by Kathy_1220 October 2021
  • How after being overweight and out of shape for so long, when you do lose it feels like you are inhabiting someone else's body! And it is not easy to switch off the 'overweight' feeling. I had to go and get a new pair of jeans. In January of this year I weighed over 230 pounds, as of today I am 177, and I have firmed up…

  • First of all...106 pounds! That is amazing! I say go ahead and buy some new things, but maybe not a full new wardrobe. 6 more pounds should not make or break the purchase. Besides, you have more than earned this! I had to get a new pair of jeans today because I could not take a few steps without my old ones falling down…
    in 6 more pounds to lose, can I go ahead and buy clothes or will they become too loose? Comment by Kathy_1220 September 2021
  • You CAN do this! I will be 62 in December, and the past few years have been horrid. The pandemic, health issues, the death of my husband in April 2020 killed me inside. In January I was in the 230's. I finally decided to get my life in order...joined a gym, started watching my nutrition...walking, bike riding. Just moving…

  • Right off the bat I found that I was not consuming anywhere near enough calories. Using the macros and having everything there in print really was a wake up call. But I have to admit, it is hard to eat that much! If it will get me to my goal...I will do whatever I have to!

  • Hello everyone! I am a newbie here, and ready to kick this! In January I weighed in at 240. In April I was 222. Today I got on the scale and am now 178. I have been hitting the gym and doing tons of walking and bike riding and I LOVE it! I have not felt this happy or confident in decades. I am 61 now and want to live a…
