Weigh-in May 11: -7lbs! (I know!) May SW: 261 CW: 252 June 1 GW: 251 1lb to go and 3 weigh-ins left. Time to change that: CW: 252 June 1 GW: 247 (Will put me at my initial goal of -40lbs by June 1st.) 5lbs to go and 3 weigh-ins left! That's better. :)

Weigh-in May 4: -2lbs! May SW: 261 CW: 259 June 1 GW: 251 8lbs to go and 4 weigh-ins left!

To be honest, not a lot of people have said anything to me. My dad said he could tell in my face because it's getting thinner and my in-laws said they noticed in my neck/upper chest area (this is also where it is most noticeable to me as well). I go into work everyday expecting someone there to say something but I think…

I'm in! Initially my goal for June 1st was to make it to 40lbs lost. However, my weight loss has been slowing down (2-3lbs a week) so I'm not going to push myself to reach an unrealistic goal but 10lbs is a great goal. :) SW: 287 (March 2) CW: 261 (May 1) GW (by June 1): 251 GW (Overall): 175 Good luck everyone!

Thanks for the advice and encouragement everyone! I'm very new to this whole weight loss journey so I am still learning. I am definitely going to take your guys' advice on here and eat my 1500 calories. I do 45 minutes of cardio every day and I need that fuel! On average, I burn about 450 calories each workout. So eating…

I agree with you 100%. I honestly wasn't happy with my trainer so I began to avoid her and it turns out she got fired from the gym I go to just last week. Guess my hunch was right! I felt better when I was eating 1500 calories a day. I had more energy and I was making better choices. I've been so hungry the past couple of…

So inspiring! I'm 5'8'' almost 5'9'' and the lowest number I've ever seen on the scale was 215 and that was 9 years ago. I downloaded MFP onto my iPhone last month and joined a gym in early March of this year. In just about 2 months, I've lost 24lbs and that's including being on vacation for a week and not watching a thing…

You are such an inspiration. I'm also 5'8'' and I'd like to lose 112lbs! Great job! You give me hope that I can reach my goal weight, too. :)

Hmm...let's see: Thomas' Bagel Thins (110 calories) w/ 1 Laughing Cow cream cheese (45 calories) --> This is my indulgence breakfast b/c even though it may be less calories than other breakfasts, it's carbs and cheese, and not good carbs. 1/2 c. oatmeal with 1/2 c. unsweetened vanilla almond milk and a handful of…

I allow myself to indulge at least once a week. Don't focus on what you shouldn't be eating, if that makes sense. If you know you shouldn't be eating it, you'll want it that much more. Instead, allow yourself to eat what you'd like every so often but just in a smaller portion. Make sure to eat tomorrow but maybe skip the…
