Last summer I got to within 3 lbs of my goal & still didn't like what I saw in the mirror. I couldn't see past the fat girl. Then I quit smoking and gained all but about 5 lbs back (like 60 lbs) and am starting my journey again. When I look at my pictures from last summer it's like I don't remember being that 'skinny'...…

Over a year ago I went from 256 to around 190ish. Then I quit smoking this summer and gained it all back except 3 pounds. Now that I'm a non-smoker for the most part (1-2 smokes a month) I've re-dedicated myself to the weight loss and have lost about 9 pounds so far. I'm mad at myself because I know I used it as an excuse…

Woot - did 300 - hit 100 and figured 'what the heck' so I did 200 more!

A lot of people log it as Circuit Training - General. I burn anywhere between 190 & 280 calories with 30 Day Shred and Ripped in 30 based on my HRM.

If it ends up in the house I tuck it away out of sight and try not to think about it and instruct the hubs to 'take care of it'. I'm usually good at not buying it, but it is in the same aisle at the grocery store as my Crystal Light so that kinda sucks! I try not to even look at it!

I did it barefoot as well

Hoping this helps with displaying your picture!

I am super delighted about what I've done so far! I'm so close to my first original goal of 180! Time to start thinking about my "end game" !! lol
-
Thanks all for you kind comments - really makes me feel good :) Taking pictures along the way really is so helpful! I keep my progress pictures on my desktop and look at them every single day. So if I'm having an off day it keeps me motivated, reminding me how far I've come and that 1 or 2 off days here and there won't…

Nice - I just posted my before and during as well... and I'm down 66 lbs too! Way to rock it! Keep up the great work!
-
If and when I get sick and don't keep down my food I still log the calories and just know that it's under. Unless you're going to start measuring what you didn't keep down... ugh... lol...
-
I log about twice a day. After I eat breakfast and prepare my lunch to take with me I'll log that. Then when I get home I'll look at what I have left and my macros and figure out what I'm going to eat and then log as I make it.

Went to goth night at a local bar about 9 years ago. Music was pretty loud as you can imagine so I went outside to sit on the patio by myself for a bit to try to reduce the pounding in my head. This really creepy guy starts chatting me up. It was an odd conversation and I'm trying to be polite but then it gets worse and I…

Just a pair of hand weights (2-8 lbs depending on your strength level) and a mat if you're working out on a hard surface.

EA Sports Active and EA Sports Active: More Workouts both work without the balance board (but both can be used with it if you have one or get one later). The also estimate calories burned.

That was a long read, but a good one. Thanks for sharing your journey! Congrats on your weight loss so far and I hope you make that 12 min mile! So how did I end up where I was? Emotional overeater here! I won't go into the whole story but that's the general idea ;) And how did I end up turning things around and starting…

I had a huge carb binge yesterday (candy, chocolate & chips) and put on 5.3 lbs overnight. I know it's mostly water weight and also the weight of the food as I haven't had a good... 'bathroom break' yet... lol... I've done it before and will expect it to come off in about 2 days. I'm also failry low carb so a good sugar…

bump for future use!

I've gone from a 22 pant to a 14, soon to be in a comfortable 12. I don't know about shirt sizes cause all of them are too big on me... a large maybe... and I was in a 2x before
-
My main goal is to get to 180 lbs and I'm almost there! I picked a number that I know from experience I can maintain at very easily without thinking. Now that still puts me about 13 lbs overweight at 180 and I can deal with that lol! I also wanted a goal that I could get to quite easily... don't get me wrong, it's been a…

I hit up the 2nd hand shop and get a nice pair of jeans for $10 or less that are in the next size down. I'm in a 14 now with a 12 'waiting in the wings'. I can get the 12 on now but it's not comfortable. Once I hit that comfortable feeling with the 12 I'll be heading back to ValueVillage to get a pair of 10's. This keeps…

I did it while obese and did have some knee pain with the jumping jacks and jump rope. I would do what I could and then just switch to running in place, high knees or butt kicks. I also worked out on the kids play mats in my bare feet so it reduced a lot of the impact as well. I have very bad ankles that are prone to me…

How will it make you feel to get to onederland?! Bet you'd feel pretty proud of yourself and all that warm fuzzy stuff. I hit onderland a couple weeks back and you should've seen the smile on my face - lasted for a whole week I swear! It is so worth it once you get there. And reaching that milestone will give you a huge…

Everyone thinks I'm pregnant or just crazy when I order my sub at Subway... 6" meatball on one of the cheese breads extra cheese, tomatos, little bit of lettuce, green peppers, lots of pickles, extra mayo & pepper. Yummy! Need to have one of those in the new year for a really good treat!
-
^ ^ This ^ ^ I can go up and down by 8lbs... so I KNOW it's water weight. But I'm in the habit of recording every Saturday morning so I just keep going.
-
Going back and looking (cause I save what it 'predicts' in the food note area for *kitten*$ and giggles) ... I've always weighed less 5 wks later than it has predicted I would. =D
-
I don't allow myself to have it on a regular basis (maybe once a month). But I'm also a person who would sit down and eat a family sized bag of Peanut Butter M&Ms in one sitting... and then a big bag of chips, and then a bag of candy. For me, it sets off binges and that's much worse than denying myself something. Yesterday…

I too have muffin top issues - you are not alone. I've got a lot of squishy belly fat and a smaller *kitten* so if the waist isn't snug the pants fall off. So for me it's a question of living with the muffin top or constantly pulling my pants up... I go with the muffin top with a larger shirt so that it can't be seen but…

Agreed.
