Thanks for all your responses! I have some things to think about.

You can do it! I haven't had any added sugar in 3 weeks due to sensitivity and while it was initially difficult, it has gotten better. I know it's hard, but you'll feel better without it I promise!

Just tried on pants that I haven't worn in over 2 years and they fit! They're not even tight like I thought they would be! I really should have moved up to the next size of pants but I was stubborn and didn't want to admit that I'd gotten that big. Well now all my stubborn pants fit nicely and hopefully soon they will…

I don't mean to be rude.. but where's the tattoo in the second picture? If this is you, great job, but there are a lot of differences between these two pictures.

Last Thursday, 10/17/19, I just started a new elimination diet based on the foods that are inflammatory markers for me (MRT/LEAP). This is the hardest phase because I only have so many foods that I can eat right now. Anyway, I was sitting in class today and I realized that my tummy isn't as "puffy" anymore and I'm actually…

17lbs down.. many more to go, but for 2 months difference here.. I'm pretty happy with it so far!

I'm going to school to be a Geologist and my favorite part is the field work. However at 5'2" and about 225 pounds it was very difficult to keep up with everyone in class when hiking around. I started this semester at 1 pound shy of 240 pounds and SOMETHING had to be done. I'm tired of being fat and not being able to hike…

This is only one month difference so far! Still pretty good IMO. :smile:

Yeah, it's super frustrating! But don't let it get you down! Just put it off as life's normal process and all will be back to normal soon :)

Unfortunately I get that weight gain many days before the event day. Fortunately.. I have other indicators lol Sorry to all the guys out there. I just imagine them sticking their fingers in their ears going "la la la!!" haha

That during *that* week (well the few days leading up to it) you might not see a loss. But then about 1 day after I start, I magically melt the water weight and I see all my *real* loss for the previous week. Annoying... but I'm onto it now! Just gotta ignore the scale for that week from now on!

My face and belly

I didn't think I was even remotely close to doing something like this, however, I thought I'd take an update pic as my first one was 3 weeks and ~7 pounds ago. I did NOT expect there to be this much of a difference! I'm absolutely floored and I can't believe that the SHAPE of my face has completely CHANGED!! Some stats:…

That's not silly! That's fantastic!

@jrochest thank you!

@SaritaJack Thanks! The hat is a kids hat from Cabelas lol! Good job fitting into your "normal" weight clothes!! I have a long way before I reach that myself but I'm so looking forward to whipping out that suitcase! @Needtoloseweight43 Thank you!!

I hate pictures of myself, but I felt so great after my hike today that I took a selfie! Then I posted it on Facebook and made it my profile picture! Then I posted it on here! What's happening to me?! Lol

The diet is my most important focus. As I said in my post, I'm only going to the gym about 3 days a week- and yes very early because this is when I'm most motivated to go. My main focus is my diet for sure, however, I know that in order for me to get the best results that I can get, I need to go to the gym as well. I just…

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you! I'll have to log forever as well or else I'll fall off the wagon again and I don't want that!

Absolutely! Thank you!

Thank you! I know that it'll slow down eventually! I'm just enjoying the melting while I can :wink:

Oh man, I know the feeling! I have 2 whole containers of oreos in my cupboard and I haven't touched them in 2 weeks! I had 1 the other day and felt super guilty! I don't know what I'm going to do with all of these oreos lol

Thanks for the input everyone! Since school started I kinda fell off the map there for a bit! So I did lots of research, and what I've been doing is eating a measured amount of diced potatoes in the mornings with an egg and a meat protein. Salads for lunch- I even found a couple non-dairy dressings! Dinners.. well usually…

I've been getting up at 4am during the week to go to the gym before school so I can't cop-out in the afternoon. This is a small change for me because I'm usually up at 5am every morning. What's an hour earlier if it improves my health?

Wow you're my MFP twin!! lol Great job!

I'm wearing a set of small scrubs for the first time in almost 3 years!
