I usually know what my family will be serving so I plan ahead "Okay, they'll be serving turkey, broccoli, brussels sprouts, rolls..." And I plan to load up on veggies and some meat, knowing that'll likely keep me in a comfortable calorie range.

Thanks everyone for your responses. I know, logically, how CICO works, but I got so sucked into the Keto world that it really set things off for me (not that Keto is bad, I just don't think it works with my disorder). I spent some time last night researching the benefits of carbs and what a balanced diet looks like. It…

I have been eating almost no veggies, it's been all protein (I know that's stupid). I think maybe really pushing the veggies and trying to get to a healthy amount of calories is what I need to do :/

Yes! It wasn't a magic pill or anything. It's just a tool. I'm not obsessively eating anymore. So I'm back to tracking and this time is the most successful I've ever been. And night time was definitely the worst for me. Apparently carbs help release serotonin which is why a lot of people eat junk food at night to relax…

^^ Excellent way to put it. And I love the personal experience. Much more eloquently put than mine, haha. Congrats on your losses!

As someone who is in the same boat, you probably wouldn't acheive it while pregnant especially in your third trimester. That being said, talk to your dr. Since I'm already overweight, he doesn't have any issues with me eating at a bit of a deficit (mainly in my first two trimesters, less in my third) since I'm not supposed…

I'm hoping to (Eventually, I'm pregnant right now) get to a 9 or 7. Reason being, I've been there before and I loved the way I looked in those sizes. I was a healthy weight (my family is "blessed" with large hips), and I looked pretty good. I'm currently a size 16, so I'm actually not terribly far off (about 4 sizes).…

I wear Merrells too, love them. I wear them all the time. When I`m doing a home workout, I find it hurts my ankles to work out completely barefoot, so I have to wear shoes (minimalist or regular).

I'm 5'8 and also 22 years old :) I'm currently 246lbs and ultimately want to get down to 150 (current goal of 190) Feel free to add :)

:D Thanks guys! I have thought about doing measurements, but never did it. Maybe I'll reconsider :) And flumi, you have every right to be happy :) Thats awesome :)

That is incredible!! After I finish out the 30 day program I'm currently doing, I'm moving on to this one. Wow.

*shrug* Its free, it works, and I have an ad-blocker, so I had no idea they even had ads.

Bump for inspiration. You all look amazing! I just started lifting, and I can't wait until I can start lifting heavy :D (Gotta get the equipment first, lol) I hope to be on here one day!

I just realized I might not've addressed the main question. I don't think that cereal is a balanced breakfast, and I agree, there probably is a lot of stock those companies have in the marketing of breakfast being the most important meal of the day. I do have cereal in the mornings, but I also have eggs and fruit, The…

Honestly, I just eat when I'm hungry but I've noticed the last couple weeks I've been having massive breakfasts because I'm running around at work until dinner time and only have time for quick snacks, and my mood has been way better, I'm feeling more satisfied and I'm not snacking as much. That's just me, though. I don't…

I have the exact same starting stats, weight and height, and the same goal weight, so this is especially encouraging to me. Thanks for posting, you look amazing!

Wow! What a difference! You're doing awesome :D

Breakfast for dinner is my go-to :D Eggs, toast, etc. SO good.

Ninerbuff always has great advice, I love when I see him on a thread, lol. My two cents: A friend of mine had an aunt who died recently because she was taking diet pills that worked really well, when she lost tons of weight and stopped taking them, he weight came back and she couldn't lose it... so she started taking them…

Oh! There was a period my husband went through when he was a little like this. We were under some strain, and it turned out he was actually depressed. One of the biggest helps was me doing things that interested him more, so he could have his time with us and to have some time to enjoy himself in his own hobby and really…

I'm really sorry to say, but my husband has a physical job, and even when he's on nights he makes time for us. We have a really really close relationship though, and I know a lot of people aren't as close as we are (our brains are connected or something, haha). But, he does make time for us, and plays with us and helps out…

Huge inspiration! Congratulations! And thanks for sharing! I think I might need to come back to this one on my lazy days :)

22 here! Just turned a couple weeks ago :)

I absolutely love the pics of you working out with your kids at the park. My daughter's not even two yet and she's starting doing some of my videos with me and love that we run around the park with her now. It's really great to see :)

Haha, this.

This website has tons of the most popular at home workout routines (Insanity, Zumba, etc) uploaded for free :) http://healthysexyhappy.tumblr.com/moveyourassnow But right now I'm doing the free 30 day get fit challenge on Hasfit.com (they have free meal plans and such too, but I haven't used them). Lots of great, free…

Wise words. Couldn't have said it better.

Two weeks of strength training, and I'm already seeing it lift. I had my daughter two years ago and I'm just seeing a difference now, now that I've started doing weights. I also wear a weighted belt that I wear (and wear it on the pooch) when I'm doing cardio or cleaning the house, haha. I'm sure the weight training is the…

You are ridiculously gorgeous. I just thought I'd letcha know. Wow. Also, great job :)
