You sound just like me. These are the things I struggle with.

Very similar stats, would love to be friends Cw at 223, but was at 180, need to get down again Gw of 150 H 5' 7" Age 41

Similar stats, but I am 41. Would love to be friends.

I'm similar, looking for fitness twins to inspire: CW 223 H: 5'7" GW 150 Age 41 I had lost 60

this is a funny and timely thread...my sister just found out she is "surprise" pregnant with #5! has to go to the doctor today and find out if she lost her IUD at some point, or if it is still in there and just failed. They are excited, but yes, surprised!

Check out this article.... http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2011/04/25/do-a-pull-up/

Try stronglifts 5x5....compound lifts really work your core!!!

Check out the whole 9/whole 30 plan....is can be low carb...but focuses on whole food. There is some great info and pcos success stories.

You can change your macros if you want to shift to more protein fat for your muscle gain.

I am 40 in November....hoping to be near the end of the journey and ready for maintainence by then. Currently size 12 (down from 18/20), trying to get to size 8! Friend me!

Onederland rocks! I am trying to get to 170-erland....been in 180's for month, and can't seem to shake that last pound to get there. Hate plateaus!!!!

No drinking for sure. Have you looked into paleo/primal way of eating.... I have heard it may help with anxiety.

Try getting in that 3rd meal a day....looks like you are only eating two...or,if you only do two, bump up the fats and add a bit more to each portion....healthy fats are a healthy way too add calories without having to eat a lot....your body will thank you for the fuel.

Milk Is probably separate.... Like on dry cereal boxes....they usually show with and without.

Try coconut oil, almond butter on carrots or apples is awesome. Bacon. Check out paleo/primal way of eating for some advice....

I'm trying to figure out why everyone's wearing jackets; we had a high of 75 yesterday :laugh:. I'm excited that most of my pants have a droopy butt now, but still not losing much right at the waist, so not going down a size. I guess it's saving me money though. [/quote] You must be in Texas like me....warm weather this…

Took me three months to lose the 1st 30, then 5 months for the 2nd thirty...the last two being November and December, so filled with birthdays, anniversaries, Xmas and vacay at our house....gained back 7 and have relost 5 of that. This month I started focusing more on losing body fat by adding heavier weight training…

Lift weights....light heavy....lots of posts on this site about it. Also, do planks to tighten the abs....takes some time, but you are young, so should bounce back!!!

Yep, veggies rock!!!! Eat away!

Harder on the weekend because I take my meals to work during the week and only eat what's in my bag....weekends I have to fight the pantry the whole time and possible social events. I definitely try to get in good workouts and not go too overboard!

When they hire you as a spokes person at the gym, make sure they pay you well! You are a hot mama!

8 months so far aand 58 lbs down, about 40 to go!

Florence and the machine are awesome, rolling in the deep and rumor has it by Adele are faves too....made planks much more bearable tonight!

My hubby told me a few months ago I don't snore anymore....awesome nsv's! Congrats!

Feel free to add me...I started at 240 last spring and am at 185 now ( after regaining 7 lbs at Christmas). There have been ps and downs, but map helps, and discovering I have the inner fortitude for this has helped. I have 45 lbs to go, so feel free to add me!!!

You totally can...take measurements, or find an outfit to be your barometer and note as it gets looser!

More veggies. It's not that you are eating too much, it's the types of food. If you open your diary, easier to help.

Oh, peanut butter for sure. To the point that last year when my son was 7, he got some plain ones in his Halloween bag and after eating a couple, asked "what's wrong with these mommy?" He had only ever had the pb flavor!!!

Well, I am at 18 lbs lost of the 20 lb goal, so pretty happy with that considering Halloween, my birthday, my anniversary, hubby's birthday, and Christmas parties! I have been trying to eat good as much as possible, workout hard, and not feel guilt about enjoying events...have to figure how to do that for this lifestyle,…

Yep, I am not having the best week with all the treats, but I am logging everything and getting my workouts I. I want to enjoy the holidays, but minimize the damage!!!
