Update for the beginning of April: I lost 4 pounds this month, which was my goal (139--->135). I traveled a lot, had spring break, and ended up getting sick for a few days so I am really proud of myself. I haven't been exercising as much, although I've been walking like crazy due to the beautiful weather! Now I am more…

I started at 181 and I am 135 now wanting to lose another 10-15. Most of the time I don't 'feel' thinner. The times I do are starting to be around this weight in the 130's because I find my stomach doesn't roll over my jeans/the jeans don't dig in. It is a little easier to walk in shorts too because my thighs don't rub as…

I'm a 24 year old medical student - I started from 181 and I'm down 46 pounds to be at 135 and looking to lose another 10-15 :)

I'm getting married in July! I just had my dress fitting and had to have it taken in quite a bit. I've lost 46 pounds total (although only about 12 pounds since I bought the dress) and at the moment I am still looking to lose another 10-15 pounds, but I am pleased with where I am now too! Fortunately my seamstress said…

This sounds amazing! I still remember being 11 and waiting for my Owl to arrive lol.

I never record gains if I am logging accurately and know that it isn't a real gain. I also don't have an official weigh in day, I record my weight when it goes down to the next whole pound.

I put 1/8-1/4 of a cup of vanilla greek yogurt and some peanut butter in to my oatmeal and it makes it so so so much more filling for me with the added protein.

I still log - but I don't beat myself up about it if I am over. The main reason why it is important to me to not ignore my intake is because if I overeat, then I feel AWFUL, full, icky, etc., and that can make me sluggish doing all the things I want to do on vacation. If anything, I think that is motivation. I want to feel…

I never gained weight from the pill (although I did gain weight otherwise I wouldn't be here lol). I've been able to lose 45 pounds while still on the pill and found that the two seem to be uncorrelated to me. When I went off it for a month because I wasn't able to get access to it due to working in a very rural area the…

I find now that I am so close my body loses weight so differently. I won't see a change in the scale, or rather my fluctuations are all over the place, but then in two weeks I will lose two pounds over night. Since I've seen it happen 3+ times now I feel much better about the 'seemingly' lack of progress - just have to…

Haha this is me! I've lost 44 pounds (I'm 5'5" and 137 pounds) and would, in theory, like to lose another 10-20. I've gotten super small up top, but my thighs, butt, and hips are losing a slower rate. Granted, they ARE getting smaller. Taking measurements was so important for me to at least see a change. At this point my…

Sorry - it was not my intention to imply that anything was magical. It's well known that you can't spot reduce, take magic weight loss pills, etc. I was just asking because people see different things at different BMIs and go about reaching their goals in different ways. :)

The only thing I can think of is to prepare your own meals so you are sure of what is in them. I know it takes time, but there are some really quick meals and options that you can do. Exercise can help, and I personally try to do at least some a few times a week, but if you have 20 minutes you can do some pretty intense…

I use a protein shake that can also be used as a meal replacement for two reasons: A ) It really helps me hit my protein goals and they are filling. B ) It tastes awesome how I make it (chocolate powder/banana/almond milk) and it is like having a dessert. I work out - I run and do very demanding boxing classes, but I don't…

I am a classic pear lol. Most of my weight is in my thighs (especially inner, but it's everywhere) and a little bit is in my stomach, but it is getting to be pretty flat. Honestly I don't know/care what my UGW is as long as I get my legs under control. My upper half loses weight first so I am actually getting pretty small…

SW: 181 pounds CW: 137 pounds Weight Lost: 44 pounds Method: Just portion control and paying some attention to macros. I also started exercising more (running and boxing classes). I also eat clean (my definition) 95% of the time. I think you can eat whatever you want, but I want to stay fuller for longer, get more…

1. Weigh your food (I have been doing this for about 2 months now and it has been amazing!) 2. Don't be miserable, if you are eating on the lower end of recommended calories and you are hungry/cranky/dizzy, re-evaluate and add more calories. Nothing bad will happen if you slowly increase to where you are happier and still…

I've lost 42 pounds, the first 21 I yo-yoed for a few years and then I've finally got it figured out and I have lost the second 21 from mid/end-November until now. My ultimate goal weight is between 120-125. Height: 5'5" Before: 175 (although I started at 181) After: 139

Hi! I was really pumped to see this lol. I am a 24 year old MS1. Anyone else in the same boat feel free to add me too!

The only thing that worked for me was to finally mentally commit and say 'this is the last time I am doing this' and mean it. Yo-yoing is entirely mental. I gained and lost the same 20 pounds for a few years. This time the only difference is that mentally I made the decision. The other thing is to review why you want to do…

I'm getting married in July :). Some pieces of advice on your wedding dress shopping adventures (which are super fun!): 1. The first time I went shopping I went by myself. I was really worried about how I thought I would look in dresses and I didn't want anyone else around the first time if I got discouraged. Turned out…

I've fallen off horses one too many times and I have some lower back pain that flares up often. The best things that have helped it for me were to: 1) Lose weight - the lower my weight the less my back hurts. I've lost 40 pounds and there is a HUGE difference. 2) Get more active and build muscle. The stronger your body is…

Peanut butter. I actually had to remove it from my diet at first because it was a trigger food to keep eating (1 english muffin with peanut butter turned into 3 english muffins with peanut butter). Now I put it in to flavor things but that they aren't featured so exclusively for me to feel like I neeeed more. I usually put…
