Wow that's a big difference, way to go!!!

Nice work!!!!

I wanna see your pic, I am considering CLX in the new year!

I think I hear the answer to your question, is in your question, if you know what I mean? You don't have to cut as much food, plus you get to eat some decent amount of food, if you only go to 1 lb a week. You are going to have to be at this for awhile either way to reach your goal, so why not make it "liveable?" At 1200…

So awesome!!! You look fantastic! I bet you feel a lot better too!

Thanks ctroni! Great job on getting under 200, sometimes those milestone weights can be the toughest to beat and you did it! Thanks for the support! 1-jul2-146.6 ugh!!!! 2-jul3-same 3-jul4-143.8! 4-jul5 5-jul6 6-jul7 7-jul8 8-jul9 9-jul10 10-jul11 11-jul12 12-jul13 13-jul14 14-jul15 15-jul16 16-jul17 17-jul18 [/quote]

You guys are looking great! I am 5'6, currently 145. My goal is 135 but my dream weight is 127. I want to do it healthy so it has to be slow, those last ten are brutal!!!!

Today was a challenge but I feel better already cutting some carbs back. 1-jul2-146.6 ugh!!!! 2-jul3 3-jul4 4-jul5 5-jul6 6-jul7 7-jul8 8-jul9 9-jul10 10-jul11 11-jul12 12-jul13 13-jul14 14-jul15 15-jul16 16-jul17 17-jul18

Quote:"I have been back and forthing about whether I will be ready to stop when I hit 135. I think I "could" go lower, but for my sanity I need to maintain there for awhile. Yesterday was a gorgeous sunny day, I was hanging out with the family on the deck, and I couldn't even have a light beer or share in the ice cream or…

Wow, reading back through this thread is difficult. What a struggle it is. What a high it is when it works. What a low it is when you don't get the results you want. How could I go through all that and then just gain it back? Easy, you know it is, a couple of glasses of wine here, some chips there, no workouts for a few…

Hmmmm.... Crawling back to say ugh I gained it back because I just totally went off track. I could make a bunch of excuses but meh- i knew what i was doing. i just wanted to have fun more than i wanted to feel healthy. Since this is my place to be honest lol. I am starting back on the 17dd because it is a sure fire…

Hey I enjoyed reading your journey! I have fallen off the wagon but am back here to post daily and crawl back on lol. It's a dead thread but a good parking spot... Good luck with it all, seems like you got a good jump start!

How's it going?

You look fantastic way to go!!!

Hi Guys (if anyone is still reading this lol) After spending 5 days in a dark room healing, I had lots of time to think. This struggle for the last five pounds is killing my soul. The length of self-deprivation, weird food rules, and general osbsessiveness I have to go to to get there is simply...not worth it. I am feeling…

Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Wow!!!!! Amazing! You look so strong!!!!

Major diff in the last two, especially in your face! Way to go, that is so inspiring!!!! You look terrific!

NEVER posted these before! Poor poofy pregnant me: Me almost at pre-preg weight ('scuse the undies)

Like I said, I'm jealous! :-) you ladies look great!

Agreed, let's relax. You look like a Mom and so do I :smokin: Oh, and...am I jealous? Hell ya! :devil:

OP, I think, and correct me if I am wrong, your intent was to say we have to work to get our bodies back after pregnancy, but that it can be done. In that regard I totally agree. I have lost all but 2 lbs of my pregnancy weight, and I never used pregnancy as an excuse to keep the weight on. Good for you for taking control…

It's genetics. I am really happy for you that your results were different than mine. Bedrest, high blood pressure, extreme water retention, at one point my belly measured 50 inches around. Only so much my moisturizing could do for me. Now my skin is messed and I need a tummy tuck. Sorry, you fail to inspire me, but…

Ok first off I will be AWOL for a few days. Getting my eye laser surgery finally! So if I don't update that's cause I can't see my phone lol. Yesterday was... Interesting. I haven't had a craving in weeks because of the low carb, and out of nowhere I get this vicious craving for the grilled veggie wrap they sell down in…

Totally!!! I always tell myself, no one is holding me down and shoving food in my mouth lol, I have choices. We gotta make the good choices. We CAN and we WILL!!!!

Funny. I allowed myself some yogurt yesterday and it didn't even taste that good, had to kinda choke it down. My skin looks fantastic by the way. Whatever I am not eating right now is really working for me. Wish I knew what. Nothing bothers my tummy and that's always the clue. I ate 4 turkey franks for dinner last night.…

Thanks for the encouragement, hunny. How you doin?

Must stop eating cheese. It has always stalled me out. Enough! But I am losing it a bit today since my weight is UP today, which is mathematically impossible! I am switching in some almonds yogurt and flaxseed today. It's not classic induction but I will still be under 15% carbs, and my body is screaming for, um, some…

Hi Buddy! We are a slow group around here lol. Apparently it's not the "trend" anymore. But you and I both know it works if ya work it!:flowerforyou:

Lots of activity this weekend! Getting a little tired of the limited variety of food, but it's not much longer now... The pisser is, my stomach skin is just shredded, in the bad sense of the word. Two pregnancies with huge weight gain, I have about 5 lbs of loose skin on my belly. The lower my weight goes, the more obvious…
