Hi ladies! I need some accountability and friends who share the same goals. Like many I lost a significant amount of weight (60 lbs), and then I fell back into my old habits and over the last three years have gained back almost half the weight I lost. I don't want to beat myself up over my bad choices, but I want to get…

I think accepting the fact that logging food is a critical part of weight loss and maintenance is a big step. There are plenty of people who can do it without logging food. I am clearly not one of them.

I am in the same boat. Lost 60 lbs. and met my goal weight. Over the last 2.5 years I have gained back 26 lbs. I’m not going to beat myself up, and I’m not going to make excuses. I’m just going to get back on track. On a positive note, despite my poor eating habits, I have continued to exercise. I go to the gym 5 days a…

Stayed under my calorie goal yesterday. Went to the gym yesterday and today. In addition to making healthy food choices today I am going to focus on making sure I am drinking enough water - aiming for 10 glasses a day - and doing something I enjoy. Keep up the good work everyone! You got this!

@echoroyal79 Thanks for the welcome. I will definitely have to be creative. The inability to clean easily will make things especially difficult. Not real excited at the prospect of washing dishes in the bathtub. 😳 But I have only promised “real meals” for dinner for the rest of my family. There are plenty of easy options…

Hi everyone! I’m Deborah and I need some motivation and support. I am almost 53 years old, married, and have two college age sons who live at home. I work full-time as an administrative assistant at our church. I lost 60 lbs with diet and exercise. I met my goal weight. Now over the last 2.5 years I’ve gained back 26 lbs.…

Good for you for finding a way to manage sweets.

I never thought I could workout in the morning. I am up at 5:10 and at the gym by 5:30. As many others have mentioned prep is the key. Workout clothes, work clothes, breakfast and lunch prepped the night before. I can be ready to head out the door in 15 minutes. I’ve been working out in the morning for about 2.5 years. It…

You looking amazing! Congratulations on all the hard work!

Wow! Congrats on the hard work! You are beautiful ❤️

Great job! Thanks for sharing.

Wow! You are hot! All that hard work has paid off. Congratulations!

Great job on working hard to reach your goals. You are beautiful!

Wow! You look at least 10 years younger. You should be very proud of yourself!

Dang girl you look fantastic! Congrats on all that hard work.

Love seeing everyone's photos. I am 50 years old and 5'9.5". I reached my original goal and I'm happy where I am but I am working on toning and think I want to lose another 5 lbs.

Amazing! You are beautiful!

So many times I've read people's success stories and been inspired. I hope that my story can help someone else on their journey. :)

Thanks! :)

Here is my basic routine. * 10 minutes cardio warm-up - usually elliptical * 45 minutes minute strength/weight machines - I alternate days. One day I do legs and core. Next day I do arms and back. Typically I do 8-9 machines total. * 30 minutes cardio - usually elliptical but a couple times a month I do treadmill * 5…

You look fantastic! Congrats!

I've had a few men comment on my weight loss. For perspective I am married and 50 years old. One comment was from a 30 something former co-worker who hadn't seen me in several months. He was very surprised and said something like, "You look fantastic!" I've had a current male co-worker who is very positive in a…

Congrats!

You look amazing! Hard work pays off. Congrats!

I've had all positive reactions. I went from 208 lbs. to 160 lbs. in 8 months. I'm 5' 10". In addition to the weight loss I'm wearing much nicer clothes. I've had women and men be very complimentary. Sometimes when someone who I haven't seen since I lost weight I get a really surprised reaction. It can be a bit…

At first it's a bit weird but it is so much fun to buy cute clothes that look good.

7559 + 60 = 7619

You definitely look smaller. All that hard work is paying off. Keep it up
