I lost 43.... :happy: Good luck!!! 176 pounds... 137 pounds

tea can be dehydrating....watch out on the caffeine content

yep....especially if a question wasn't answered so that others will see it.

This website and app are fabulous! Good luck on your journey! There will be hard times, but getting through them will only make you stronger!

Ditto...I log every last morsel of food.

That is very annoying! I also can't stand the people who use a machine for 3 sets and insist on taking 5 minute breaks in between without letting anyone else on during their "rest". Unless your weights are extremely high and a burden to take on and off....SHARE! Which brings me to another point....take your weights off…

OMG!! You just made me realize that I put in the wrong weight! I'm 137 in the last picture NOT 147! I say that all the time....maybe bc I'm not used to being so low in weight. SOOOOOOOO SORRY!!!!!

I have to give credit where credit is due. My boyfriend helped me out a LOT! I lift weights twice a week with him and do cardio (which I hate) once or twice a week (running/jogging/walking). Mostly I watched what I ate and have stuck to a calorie goal daily.....and still do. The amount of calories I ate depended on the…

Weight loss can be VERY frustrating! Stick with it and you WILL get results! Make sure to eat and sleep is also VERY VERY important during weight loss.

I'm 5'3" :)

Thank you so much! I appreciate that!

thank you everyone!

The first picture was at Cedar Key, Fl ...the second 2 are on Anna Maria Island, Fl. And thank you!

rice, nuts, prunes, raisins, corn, etc are all super high in calories for a small amount of food....try to find the highest calorie content for small volumes of food. good luck!

That is the best.... Then they decide that you're lying. LOVE IT!

I believe that everyone knows the difference between the right and wrong thing to do. When you become personally involved in a situation your brain has a way to make the wrong things seem like the best choice, whether it be to gain something or get ahead in life. People tend to make decisions based on what's good for them…

great job! you look amazing!

I do because I find it intersting to see the fluctuations....it's a gradual downward slope. It's not neccessary but I enjoy it.

This indirectly brings up another good point. A lot of people are deciding to lose weight to rid themselves of other medical issues that are fixed or maintained by medications (diabetes, high blood pressure...) I find it ironic that some choose to use a pill to get off of another pill.

I find that people who try fad diets tend to have that attitude towards me. What they don't realize is that you're dedicating your time and energy towards making your life healthier. It includes discipline with food and exercise. It also takes longer and is harder than people think because they don't see what happens…

That is so amazing! Congratulations and keep up the great work!

Thank you for replying. It's nice to see that others feel the same way I do. I have yet to see someone use a diet aid and stay at that weight (even with bariatric surgery there is no guaranteed results) without a lifestyle change. I find it so rewarding to know that I have taken the time to understand how my body reacts…

lol...it's a funny one, but it's such an amazing feeling! My favorite funny NSV was when someone stated that they could stand with their feet at shoulder width and their thighs wouldn't touch. A personal one for me it that my cell phone doesn't stay in between my thighs anymore while I drive. Not enough there to hold it in…

Also, a lot of processed foods love to had added sugar. The more whole foods you eat...the less ingredients in something, the less sugar intake you will have.

Unfortunately, I have had to come to terms with this as well. It is all a part of being female! :)

eat!

I actually eat right before bed. Nothing bad happens if you eat. That seems to be a common misconception about "dieting". Just because you're sleeping doesn't mean that your body decides to stop working and sleep right along with you. I HAVE read that you should watch the amount of liquid you take in before bed so that you…

10 pounds a month is a very HUGE goal. It's generally safe to lose between 1 and 2 pounds a week to keep it off. The gym that I go to offers the Les Mills classes also and you can find a study on the amount of estimated calories burned per class. Obviously they vary depending on how large or small you are. Body Pump burns…

You can be in control of the bread that you eat my making your own... My mom's bf is allergic to gluten and she makes his. It's super easy if you get a bread maker and you can find recipes everywhere.

Blueberry Eggos with a half serving of whipped cream cheese! I rush out the door every morning with those in my hand.
