i dont track anything but my calories. i might sometimes accidentally notice how bad of an idea something is in the sodium department and might rethink it.. but thats rarely.. i think its great if you CAN track them all and stick to them... but i personally can only focus on one thing at a time. good luck though!!

i plan on being here for a lifetime.. (maintaining hopefully lol).. sooo add me if you like. =)

i say you dont have to give up your diet soda.. i say you can still lose weight. i'd say there is most likely a ton of benefits of giving it up but you can do anything with or without it. stay in your calories and you should be good. i'd recommend not drinking more of it then you normally did.. maybe slacking up once in a…

YESS. i sent a friend request! im 28, never married, no kids.. WAS 327lbs when i started here. 132lbs DOWN.. nothing against anyone with kids or that is married either but its refreshing to find someone who doesnt have that going on too. i honestly never thought I could lose the weight because it wasnt from having kids.. i…

totally works.. check out the success story section.. its REAL people.

chili powder.. its freakin delicious.. try it!

um nope. BUT i have screenshot a before/after picture once on the ipad or iphone to show my mom and friend how some lady completely transformed herself. it was insane..

well im glad to see you here! i dont feel like excercise is completely needed for weightloss. i feel like i lost majority of my weight when i wasnt active at all. im only active because i WANT to be. so having said that.. i feel like you really just have to stick to your calories and you should still lose weight. best of…

i love the recipe builder.. and if its something you and your family regularly eat then you can save it and have it for next time. i actually find it FUN.. call me weird lol. =) in time, you will get used to it.

i weigh daily.. but its really only because im forgetful and couldn't remember to take and weigh myself once a week...let alone at the same time period. i do believe everyone is different and for some people this could be a really big problem. i like watching it daily... i like seeing how if i ate a certain thing it went…

i watched your video. first thing is.. way to sell yourself and show your own personality.. your beginning is very memorable. can i give you major freaking props for doing a handstand.. like omg you are awesome!! now at the freezer section.. dont HIDE things. thats a problem. and let me tell you about something called a…

@yenilopez last picture. you are gorgeous.

4th pic. i mean Hot! and u are oozing confidence!

i agree dont make it so big of a goal. start with maybe 5lbs or whatever. start slow. check out some success stories? seeing people that started out at about my weight and see their progress was so very inspiring for me. in fact, youtube videos are what started this all in my head. i watched shayloss & meghan tonjes people…

hang in there. the brain takes a while to sink in that you have changed. we always think the worst of ourselves. congrats on all that you have done. you have done amazing things. you look fantastic. i try to remember that i FEEL better then i used to. i like to do things i didnt used to.. or would have never attempted…

totally possible! i agree that you should break it into smaller goals though. it takes alot of time. i started at 327lbs. so my goals were 300, 250, 200.. and then i continue on. i made it under that 200.. but bounced back up and am currently fighting it.. and im aware that i have already lost a whole person.. but i took…

most of the time none.. unless i post on a newbie thread lol.. im not a very big poster.. but im okay with that..

four months. i dont think i exercised if any. MIGHT have been riding bikes once in a while. about a mile at a time.. im not an exercise kind of person. plus i feel like you need to learn how to eat properly without the exercise factor in order for long time weightloss to work because if you suddenly stop exercising then…

Height: 5'6" Age/Gender: 28/female Highest weight- 327lbs (12/12/2011) Current Weight- 203.2 (5/14/2013) Lowest weight- 194.3 (5/9/2013) Goal weigh- 165 (then re-evaluate)

yes definitely a food scale. thats the only way you will get accurate results... cuz like you said the size varies. i so know about counting haha. just recently i counted sweet potato fries.. serving size is 22 pieces... i couldnt figure out why i only got 5 servings out of the bag when it was supposed to be 6... because…

the brain takes forever to catch up. im now at almost a year and a half of my journey and am just now starting to see myself in a different light. im proud of all that i have done and i really am gaining confidence. the thing is.. you are still the same person you were when you were heavier. you have to get rid of the…

i sent a friend request. im totally here for you! i have been here for over 500something days.. and im not going anywhere! im pretty much always around. best of luck on your journey. DONT GIVE UP. if you mess up its okay. everyone does.. but the next day starts a new fresh day with a clean slate.

hummus and crackers... then goldfish crackers & animal crackers for snack. :)

kayla, you are seriously freakin amazing! you inspire me so much! you look fantastic and shorty shorts from the junior section... flippin awesome girl! rock that body!

you look fantastic!! great job!! =)

for me personally.. i would guess it would be that it was a few hours later then you usually weigh yourself.. because i myself can fluctuate a good 5lbs in a DAY if i weighed at different times without even being on my cycle.. but it could very well be your cycle as well especially if you havent eaten any different then…

im loving it.. haha. thats beyond cute.. AND yummy!! great idea!!

kudos for you to going even if you feel that way. but here is an idea.. maybe they were exactly in your place one day? its a possibility. remember that you are there for YOU not them.. try to forget that they are there. but seriously not everyone was born with those bodies.. if any of them.. they have put in time and…

its called a plateau. it happens to the best of us. i have hit a few. stick to your game plan.. its more about being healthy and taking care of your body then it is numbers on the scale. i stalled for a few months and started to believe maybe my body was trying to tell me it was the natural number its supposed to be. but i…

i had avocado sandwiches. absolutely delicious and one of my fav things. my latest way of making it is 2 pieces of bread slightly toasted, a little yellow mustard, 1/2 avocadoo, some salt, a light drizzle of olive oil. so stinking yummy! & an apple for snack which was nice andnjuicy and delicious too!
