Too excited not to share… starting today I think I may log my daily weight because so far, I’ve not been able to wait until Monday (my weigh in day) to report progress and I weigh myself daily anyway. Who knew that getting involved in the discussion groups would be so rewarding? Not me. I’ve been on MFP since 2009 on and…

First of all! Congrats on your success! I have only lost 43lbs but I too can only see myself as where I began at 230lbs vs 186.2. I think it takes a lot of convincing from yourself to try on the clothes regardless of what you think others are thinking and by the way, they most likely are not thinking it! 😋 I was told over…

I was just a joke 😉

I am sure with this many comments, mine will not be a revelation and someone else has probably already mentioned them, but: *I agree with being cold.... all the time. Only 40lbs down and I am freezing. *I can't believe that 40lbs off gives the amount of limberness. I am still achy and stiff but getting up into my hubby's…

I was under 5/7 days… Here’s to a…

I chose Mondays as my weigh in day but I just have to report that I’m already down almost all 6lbs I had gained… I know the first 10 after a binge ate the easiest as they say it’s mostly water weight… but I’m still pretty stoked and would be super happy with two more lbs by the end of the month… 187.6 today 🎉

Sharon age 42 SW 230 Jan SW 193 Feb GW 187 (was here at my lowest recently, before Christmas) 1/01: 193.0 1/8: 1/15: 1/22: 1/30: Total month loss: Weekly goals: Add more activity into the day to day Be at calorie deficit 6/7 days. December was rough. I ended up gaining 3lbs after reaching my all time low. Then I went on a…

Well…. I’m up 3lbs from vacation and 6 overall, time to hunker down and start losing again… overall I’m no too disappointed and know that as I begin to eat right again it’ll fall right back off.

Up to 190 this morning. :( I think it's incredible that I can go up 3lbs in a week when the cheats haven't been all that bad. For instance, I am at a 1410 calorie allowance. I can assure you that I have not gone over 1700 calories.... and have been at or below 1410 most days. I will admit that I get minimal exercise…

I don't have any new suggestions from what was stated above but I know the feeling all too well. I actually will often not feel "full" or still seemingly feel hungry after I eat. I have even tried waiting ten minutes or so before going in for seconds (usually just a bit more). Once I eat the "bit" more, I am stuffed. I…

Bought a pair of work pants 2 years ago in the size I thought would fit. Could barely get them over my hips and forget about fastening them. I meant to return them but then passed the deadline for doing so. I have been moving them all around my house for two years. I tried them on this morning and they fit! I am currently…

I'll be sure to update with all the gritty details. LOL :D

Thanks for the encouragement ladies! I needed it! ☺

Great attitude!!! Here's to a better today!! (Me too)

Way to go!!! incredible progress!!!

Forgot to post on Friday. Holding strong all week at 187. I have fluctuated day to day and am at 189 this morning. I have been highly stressed with upcoming trip and just coming off my cycle and emotional... Today marks the one-year anniversary of my mother's untimely death and I didn't realize how much it was going to…

This is sooooo goood. This is exactly how I have treated my journey thus far and it's been the longest I have ever stuck with it and also the most weight I have ever been able to lose. The focus for me was to keep starting again. If I have three bad days in a row, oh well, try again on the fourth day. Life happens and gets…

Way to go! Nice bucks! Especially that first one. Wowza!!!

March 29, 2023 - 211.4lbs December 9, 2023 - 187lbs -24.4lbs in 8 1/2 months More than 2.5lbs per month average.

Dec 9: 207.0 - Yesterday was one of those days where if it was edible, I ate it. I will do better today. :)[/quote] I have those days too!!! Hope yesterday was better and today too! 😊

Thank you!

I'll join the Friday group for weigh ins. I am a chronic everyday weigher!! 😶 Update Friday weigh in. December 1- 190.6 December 8- 188.0

SW 10/20/22 - 230 Dec.1 190.6 CW 12/07/23 - 188 STGW 02/01/24 - 180 LTGW 165 and then will reassess. December goals: 1. Don't eat all the treats but not deprive either. 2. Love me for who I am right now. 3. Maintain current Caloric intake, as it has been super successful results.

Super stoked to be under 180lbs for the first time in 20 years. 188.0lbs today!!

I am right there with you on the "killing it and not getting the results I want" I have not added exercise yet, but I have really cut my calories and it's just so slow going, but I just have to remind myself that it's been proven that the slower you lose the more likely you'll keep it off. Proven I mean, by me in my…

I believe I fit into this category based on my starting weight being over 200lbs. Height 5'5" SW 230lbs 10/20/22 CW 189.8 STGW 180 by 2/1/24 LTGW 165 and then will reassess. This month I am working on liking (loving) myself for who I am right now. I have been over 200lbs for nearly 20 years and before that I was always…

First comment for me ever on MFP and I've been on and off since 2009. I am typically in the "I gained it all back plus" group. This time feels different. I have been losing for just over a year now and am down 40lbs. I have gained 3-5 lbs back but then lost it immediately again. I find that the hardest part for me is…
