Working mom of three, been a year with MFP to change my lifestyle and pretty happy where I am now. A few small changes I still want to focus on, but I'm happy with what I'm achieved so far. 5'4ish Current weight bounces between 120-125lbs. Would love 120 to be my high peak. I'm a petite frame and wear bottoms 0-2, tops XS…

I'm the same as you. I work full time, three kids at home and my hubby worksd straight nights. My day is up at 6am get everyone out the door, work till 3:30pm, get home, clean, cook feed (hubby leaves at 6pm) get everyone to bed and finally have xx time to myself before crashing at 9:30pm...repeat. Sound familiar???? You…

Thanks for the pics, I have been stuck at 123lbs over a month. Although I KNOW the scale is not the only focus, it still bothers me some days. I am wondering, how do you work to change % instead of weight? Is it heavy lifting? I don't have time or money for a gym membership, but do work out 6 days/week using FitnessBlender.

I relate to this as well. After three kids i finally made the choice to put myself ahead and be healthy. I have a 12year old daughter who is the same weight and clothing size as me ( although she may be 1/2" taller, just don't let her know I said that). I actually worry about changing myself much more as I don't want her…

I do it too! I recently returned from my honeymoon in Mexico and throughout I would be looking at the other ladies and thinking or saying " I wonder how much more work I need to do to look like that". Finally my husband stopped me and asked me what size my new shorts were... When I told him 0, he laughed at me and asked…

I'm just short of 5'4 a working mom of three. I think I'm ready to share, to say I'm in the success story range :) I am not sure I'm done, but I am happy and confident where I am now, anything else is just a little bonus of toning muscle as I maintain. I hope I post the photos right. I wasn't great at before/after photos I…

5'4 working mom of three. Started in Mid Janurary at 152lbs, wearing size 8. From Jan to March I used MFP food deficit only and got to 133lbs. From there I decided I needed to get ahead of the plateau so I added exercise (fitnessblender). March was still tough as I celebrated my workouts too much. By April I was back on…

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has discovered this side of success. I started in January and had a coworker stat the same time. Initially we would randomly compare notes, her how their no carb, no sugar, all clean weeks were going me recommending MFP. By March I noticed she wasn't chatting much, and I've not really been…

Bumping this thread because it's informed me. I am just over halfway through my 8 week FB calendar. I was debating looking up to official 'clean eating' the last bit because they keep pushing it adds to results. However, I am in a deficit, and I am seeing results with my regular foods. So I'd say it's working even without…

I keep forgetting to post the great victories I've encountered so far, so here they are all collected :) At a family dinner a couple months ago my SIL who I haven't seen since Christmas not only mentioned that I look good, but asked if I'd been working out. I love the comment "have you been working out" over "have you lost…

Just over 100 days, all with food diary and a steady loss thanks to it

I only have (had) 30lbs to lose. I hit my 20lb off last week, so that was just over three months to lose it.

Thank you for the support. I am hoping to try intensity workouts, but waiting to borrow from a friend before dishing out the cash in case they are too intense for me. If not I will search YouTube for other ideas/videos. I am ready to do this ☺

Loving this thread, can't wait to post my own success someday. I am curious, how did you decide your stop weight? I'm fascinated by how despite the height being similar, body shape\size is everywhere. Currently I'm planning to stop the weight loss around 125lbs, than put more effort into muscle toning. I know calculators…

I know exactly what your saying. I sit in my lunchroom and watch others eat celery and carrots complaining that their no carb/sugar/gluten etc. diet sucks. Than they turn to me with an evil eye as like you I've simply changed my habits and dropped 16lbs and a pant size. Dealing with them, honestly I've tuned it out.…

5'4 ish started this January I did not expect results, my habit is quitting early on. So only photos are the bad ones in my profile. SW 150lbs CW 140lbs GW 135 at moment, although if I keep on track will switch to a goal of 125. The 10lbs I lost came from my waist though so I am down a pant size and people keep thinking…

Your not alone, I just searched for this thread as I've noticed the same thing. I'm only down 10lbs, but the last couple weeks have had to add extra blankets at night and layers at work. I too was curious if it's related to my weight loss.

Wow thank you so much for making my new weight loss journey and this community such a welcoming and comfortable place to learn. Thank you for those who have offered helpful advice. I think I just need some patience, which after last months success is harder. I have learned my assumption that working the muscle meant I was…

Thank you, I'm learning more every day thanks to this. I am not weighing my food, but I know my intake is the same as last month so I'm not too concerned about it being me cutting corners yet. Hopefully it's just the water from repairs, I just have to stay off the scale until March and stick to my plan. .5 isint really…

I honestly don't know what I've done, for me its all been in my mind set. I'm actually set to lose 1lb/week with a lightly active lifestyle (which is accurate, I have an on the go job) so my count is 1360/day. I admit I'm often under that, but rarely below 1250, occasionally I've been over too. I used to snack and just not…

Thanks, I am trying to keep positive. I'm avoiding the scale until the 1st and really I lost my 3lb goal within the first two weeks, so even if I did plateau this round I've still come ahead. I like the bikini or such plan and really it's the reason I started this journey. My hubby and I are taking a belated honeymoon to…

Thank you for the tips. I like the small not scale related goal idea alot. I've done my best this week with two simple goals. #1 log my food (ALL of it) each day and #2 focus on keeping the healthy choices and staying on or slightly under my count. Since I'm set at 1lb per week the scale should drop simply because I'm…
