ive look back at it from time to time and sometimes im less than it said and others more...its nice to look at it and hope i get to that weight but it doesnt bother me either way....i know i will get there eventually and its a marathon not a sprint...so its just fun!:happy:

i dont know either....would be interesting to read more comments....im like you i stay away from sodium as much as possible and buy low sodium foods.....im getting to the point of not tracking it anymore myself....that way i wont drive myself crazy over it. Good luck on your weight loss journey....:drinker:

thanks you are so encouraging...you look amazing...wtg...great job!!!

we all feel this way....cant come soon enough...but as you said we didn't gain it overnight its not gonna go off that fast either....one day at a time and we will succeed.....best of luck....we will do this!

i can relate to this post cause this week i wore a few shirts that actually fit and more people said something about my weight loss where before no one said anything...its an awesome feeling!

well for now i had multiple sizes in my closet...so i have plenty of jeans and shirts...my problem is im gonna have to buy smaller dress pants for work....guess i will buy a few things to get me through each time i go down sizes...till i reach goal then will have to buy a new wardrobe....funny thing is underclothes have to…

i drink 3 cups in the morning with non dairy creamer...its the one thing i wont give up and i log my calories. its worth it to me.

its all in the mind....if you have the right mind set the rest will just fall into place..great job on the exercise...but you have to get your head in the game...unless you make up your mind that this is what you want....nothing you do will make it happen cause you will sabotage yourself.....like hitting a plateau....you…

well if it were me i would take myself a cooler and take things i can eat....salad makings or heck take your on veggies and cook them..im sure she wouldn't mind if you fixed yourself some vegetables...that shouldn't make her angry. Sorry that they are that way...its hard sometimes to eat on plan when you are on the go.,,I…
