I'm at 221, hoping to lose at least 60 lbs. Add me as your friend and we can help motivate each other!

Yeah, more friends, please! 😁

Google, "cloud biscuits" and use that recipe. Cloud bread is also a good bread alternative to make if you want to have a bun for a burger or something. Make your food from scratch whenever you can. Don't trust premade mixes as they frequently contain hidden carbohydrates and other ingredients that are not conducive to the…

Another pound down! Keep up the good work, ladies and gents - this road is well-traveled, and if you stick to it, you'll get the results you want. Thanks for all your encouragement and support as we all continue to strive to reach our goals!

Alrighty, here we are, another week complete and a new one begins! I'm down another pound for a total of 4 lbs - that's pretty good, but not what my expectations were - I'll be seeing a specialist to sort out some health issues this week and get some answers (hopefully). To everyone who's pushing to lose weight - of any…

Hello! My update so far: down 3 lbs in two weeks, pushing for a better result in the upcoming week. To everyone following this thread, keep up the good work! Are you motivated by a countdown ticker? A reward system? A weekly weigh-in versus a daily weigh-in? Use what works for you, and make things happen! You have the…

Hi - I'd like to join the group! I commit to posting weekly weight loss updates each Sunday, and doing my absolute best to become AND STAY healthy and fit! I'm currently 182 lbs, and the lowest I've ever been was 158, so this will be a great push for me. My routine is the 7 Minute workout - there's a free app for it and…

You face challenges that many never imagined could exist. And every day you sift through the nearly overwhelming list of do's and don't's, carefully planning and preparing yourself for what is just a simple day for other people. But it's never simple for you - everything you do requires a huge amount of effort and one…

Fruits and veggies are the same way - one "medium" fuji apple - what does that really mean? The food's weight is the only real answer. It's also important to know the difference between what chefs refer to as AP and EP weights - "as purchased," and "edible portion," respectively. Measure and weigh only the portion of food…

Everyone has different intake needs. I personally can not eat 1200 calories in a day or I gain weight. It's the unfortunate fact of the matter. There are many people struggling with what their doctors tell them is "necessary" for dietary intake, when in reality, the numbers are more of a guideline than an actual set of…

Hello there! First note: high calories in the evening are not so good. I was told to try my best to avoid carbs and extra calories after 4 pm, which is when our bodies begin to shut down based on natural light decreasing in our environments (dependent, of course, on your location). Try consuming more of your calories…

It's definitely going to be less. Honestly, each body is different, and a supposed "base level" to fit every body type is obviously not going work out for weight loss. What works for a 18 year old, athletic male with no stress, is not going to be so successful for the average 30-something year old who works a desk job and…

Hi Danielle! I'm 23 and in the same boat. I always called myself "big boned," which may be true, but is really just an excuse not to lose weight. I finally started getting serious about my weight loss when I was 21 years old and more than 50 pounds overweight. I knew I had to do something or I was going to lose control,…
