big victories always look bigger when you add up all the LITTLE victories. yea, for you!!!!

Awesome job!!!! You only have 93 more to go (or less since you posted this) I am sooooo excited for all of us MFPers as we continue on our journeys. These posting are such an inspiration to me.

great job... great process and too. i may actually use my p90X NOW. good results.

wow your picture should be all the motivation you need. go ZUMBA!!!!!

wow your picture should be all the moyivation you need. go ZUMBA!!!!!

your boyfriend is most likely right (shhh who said that... lol) most people need more than just 8 glasses in fact the proper math for just staying hydrated is --- divide your weight by 2 and the sum is the amount of water you need in oz. so if you weigh 128 then yes 8 (8oz) of water is what you need. when that report came…

another thing is allow yourself portioned good fats (avocado, flaxseed oil, 1oz RAW brazil nuts/macadamia nuts, full fat butter, olive oil)... the brain uses and needs fat. but not fat found in processed food just good natural fats. and i'll say it again WATER if you think you drank enough water today drink 2 more cups…

it's a common form of detoxing. drink lots and lots of water. eat extra water based veggies (celery is a great source). also try to get enough sleep, because that's when the body repairs itself. (i am a migraine sufferer and i too know the difference.) be well, dz

Fantastic, great share!!!! "but the days that you dig inside for that extra bit of determination are the ones that are most worthwhile. Those are the nights your head hits the pillow with the sense of satisfaction of having accomplished something you didn’t think you could, and there really is no better feeling than that."…

Tell yourself "today is the day I do not have to start my weightloss all over" there is always stuff happening. Today you may need to keep looking at before and after pictures. And beside who is stronger YOU or a cake. Don't worship at the church food, cuz it's full of empty promises. It's only cake but I believe you are…

Hello and welcome to the party

Amazing results, thank for not waiting to post. I am inspired. These stories have kept me on my path towards ny own goals.

I say lowfat yogurt is deceptive, protein bar are deceptive and I have a friend who swears by SlimFAST shakes (fast forward 2yrs later she's added another 15lbs to the original 30 she wanted to lose from her slimfast yoyoing)

Too funny "can't be eating while you sleep" . I do aim for 8 and average around 7. There have been times I'm gone to bed super early too and I figure my body needed it. Congratulations to you too. I am excited about reaching my goal.

That must be an awesome feeling, You rock!

I think the reason this works for me was since I had over 100lbs to lose my body needed to readjust to the new weight and my mind needed the freedom of guilt-free eating. "Guilt" is the worst additive in any food lol. Also when I do go back to the losing steps I do it really clean- Egg white omelets, tons of water, tons of…

I've been asked - how long do I do my strategy? I do it for anywhere from 3 weeks to 5 weeks. Then I'm itching to start losing again. I guess it's like the food equivalent of "intervals" setting on the treadmill or elliptical. Lol

Great job

I believe sometimes you do have to loosen the reins so our minds and bodies don't feel trapped. I believe the best why to do it is "planned" and sticking to it. Doing it only when you feel confident enough in your ability and strength not to go overboard. After the best results come when it's apart of your life. Glad you…

Oh one more thing - I noted that I usually ate them a week before/during my period. I think my body at that time needed the extra fuel. It doesn't happen every time but I like the reassurance that I can have it if I need it.

Sometimes I eat them, sometimes I don't. Most of the time I don't. Sometimes I'll eat a few. It depends on how I feel and if my body feels like it need a lil something. I love having the option however!!! And thank you for the nice compliment!

That's the cool thing about being our own people is knowing what works for you. As long as you adapt and modify to your body that's all that matters. I do also use FLAXSEED oil it's excellent for the body and also COCONUT oil which now thanks to Dr. Oz the masses are learning the benefits of. As I post regarding the "real"…

Awesome job and great post. I

yup i am pretty darn confidant, i shall claim it!!!! lol

I had no idea that I get such a great response from other going through the same thing. Believe me I "failed" sooo many previous diets because of plateaus and I thought there was something wrong with me and then I would get frustrated and eat. This time around I decide to just keep going and that's when I discovered my…

i like trader joe's mixed greens, toss some blueberries or unsweeten cranberries in there sometimes. i usually use flaxseed oil (a tbs on 2cups of salad.) i love it!!!

WOW... YOU GUYS, THANK YOU FOR THE KIND WORDS. I was a bit worried for a minute that folks would think I was preaching. But I could only share from my point of view. This site has been fabulous. I find everyone inspirational... even when we are struggling (there's a lot to be learned in everyone experiences). There's no…

-i never eat low-fat or fat-free (too much crap) by this i mean i eat REAL BUTTER, REAL CHEESE (good ones), REAL FULL FAT GREEK YOGURT, REAL HEAVY CREAM... etc when they take out the fat they add sodium, articifical sweetners, sugar, tons of chemical flavorings, it's better to weigh/measure portions of real food than just…

"what's a vision board" it's basically cutting out pictures and quotes from magazine of what you what and intend. i even framed mine and hung up nicely so i would easy it every morning when i woke up. it can be focused on one thing -- ie great bodies, exercising, eat right or it can focus on lots of things- great bodies,…
