I put on a pair of single digit pants this morning and they fit. This is the first time that has happened in 20 years.

The number of calories in certain foods has add a new definition to the term "expensive" for me; meaning. No way am I going to eat that ______ (fill in the blank). Its too expensive! For that number of calories I could have chocolate or half a cup of ice cream or any other number of wonderful foods. I am much more careful…

Bump - so I can see the pictures when I get home! I'm 5'8" as well and we have the same goals! I'm not there yet but I can't wait to see your accomplishments. Congratulations. :flowerforyou:

When I cut and served chocolate cake for my kids yesterday night, I got chocolate frosting on my fingers. I licked the knife and my fingers clean...:tongue:

You said eggs wouldn't work, but have you considered hard boiling the eggs? They are extra easy even for someone who doesn't like to cook and the protein will keep you full for a long time unlike the carbs from oatmeal. Eggs are cheap and last a long time. When they are hard boiled they are easy to take for lunch and don't…

Drink lots and lots of water over the next 2-3 days; hopefully most of that is just salt retention. Try weighing back in on Thursday after you have flushed your system.

Thank you Lea for starting this thread. Thank you Moderators for bringing it back. Thank you everyone who has contributed pictures. All of you have inspired me and shown me what I want to be "when I grow up"... I want to look like you and you have been kind enough to tell me how. My next step is to start picking things up…

Impressive

I don't know what to tell you to make it better, but I can tell you that you are not the only one who experiences this. I've lost 38lbs and I still feel like I look the same. Rationally I know by the scale and using a tape measurement that I've lost lbs and inches but looking in a mirror and in pictures I still "see"…

You are awesome! Great summary :flowerforyou:

Eating two pieces of fruit will generally put you over your sugar allowance for the day. This is what Jonnythan was referring to by suggesting you would be better to monitor your calories, protein, fat, fiber, and exercise. In the control panel setting you can add micro's or subtract micro's. I've taken out sugar and…

Take a big breath and slow down. You don't have to be perfect! Yes, it was an over the limit day yesterday and today might be one as well, but stop beating yourself up. You can do this and it isn't going to be a light switch change but a general (read slow) and steady change in behavior if you want to make this a permanent…

Dear 16 Year Old Me, Hold on just a little bit longer. I promise the moment you get control over your own life, you will be infinitely happier. It won't matter if you go directly to college or work three jobs and are always a little hungry; the instant you are out of the house your stress level will go WAY DOWN. Have…

Or you could go and not eat the crap food that is going to be there. You are going to find yourself in social situations during the next year that are going to place you in the midst of tempting food. You are going to have to learn how to be around it without making a big deal that you are "on a diet". If this is a true…

My diary is open and feel free to send me a friend request. I log every day and I eat everything (including chocolate, pizza and tea with cream and sugar :drinker: ). My diet is not perfect but it is real.

A glass of skim milk, a small apple, and a multi-vitamin will have more protien, fiber, and nutritional value than a slim fast shake and you will feel better eating this too. And its cheaper too. :wink:

Awesome!

I'm scared that if people really knew me they would find me unloveable.

It has to be something more than just the sugar and caffine. I stopped drinking diet soda in October 2012 and I never drank regular (full sugar) soda before that. So I know it is not just the sugar and as I will still have a cup of tea occasionally I am having caffine so I know that can't be the only source of the…

Being patient is the hardest part for me. Having the accept that I could work SOOOO hard all week and only lose .3 a pound. To not be discouraged by this and throw it all away and give up. To allow that it would take nine months for me to lose the 30 lbs that I have so far. And to be okay with that. The general concensus…

My NSV - my legs are sore... me, the girl who hates to excerise did squats yesterday. It may have only been 30 but I did them and I have the sore legs to prove it. And I will do them again tomorrow and then 2 days later. And again, and again.

Meh...

Bump - cause I am very curious for the answer as well. Similar family background and similar nutritional style. I have backed away from most of the refined sugar in my diet but I will forever love ice cream. Which I refuse to say I will never eat again.
