What worked: basically eliminating all grains (this was more a health decision than a weight loss one); finding some workouts that I can do at home; finding a wonderful on-line support group; a diet consisting primarily of fruit, veggies, lean meat, dairy (mostly through yogurt) and healthy fats with very little processed…

I've reached 10% of my body weight lost as well! You look fabulous--congratulations!

I'm interested in joining as well!

I'm going down pretty consistently--24 pounds in 3 months. I usually have around 1200 calories/day, sometimes a little under, sometimes a little over. I don't eat back my exercise calories and try to eat as "clean" as possible. I've been down this road many times before and, for whatever reason, things are easier this time.

Plain fat-free greek yogurt with 1 tsp agave syrup, sliced almonds and berries.

I have the same breakfast every day--plain non-fat greek yogurt with agave syrup, sliced almonds and berries. Lunches are pretty predictable as well--a big salad with lean protein or an omelette with veggies and either feta or goal cheese.

"I'm worth it."

I measure some things, but usually just eyeball. I do use the checkpoints (meat size of a deck of cards, etc) but usually use my best estimate. At almost 23 pounds down (fairly easily--sorry) it's working well for me.

I'm up at 5:00 and eat my breakfast (Greek yogurt, sliced almonds and berries) at work sometime between 7:00 and 7:30. I found that when I ate earlier, I was starving halfway through the morning. Now, with a snack of a piece of fruit around 10:00, I can easily make it until lunch.

This is what I've been doing to the past two months. It was difficult for the first few days, but is easy now. I feel so much better physically without the starches. I do eat potatoes once every 10 days or so, but don't remember the last time I had rice or pasta. For lunches, I typically have a salad with loads of veggies,…

I used to be a carb-a-holic. When I started on my current weight loss journey, I decided to cut grains almost completely. I feel so much better. I'm not as tired and lethargic, my digestion is better and cravings are almost non-existent. I've lost 7 pounds in the last month and honestly feel that this is the way I need to…
