Me, too! I am eating how I normally have been and tracking. This way I can see where I can make changes. I can't make drastic changes. That NEVER works for me. Here's to our success! I have to lose at least 50 lbs.

10/17/18 - 174. I'm in! :)

this thread has made me so happy. I have a friend who has done so well on keto and raves about it but I love my carbs so much. I've been doing intermittent fasting while still keeping my carbs (just lowering the amount to 50g daily) and I have lost 4 lbs already. I'm loving it - and I'm happy - and isn't that all that…

Anxiety is a beyotch. I hate her. :)

You have a lot of convenience foods which have a lot of carbs/sugar. Your body may do better with whole foods, rather than pre-packaged items. I'm the same way. If it's a quick thing - I'll grab a protein bar but I want to try to get better about that. Also, I truly agree about weighing EVERYTHING. You can't go by what the…

Love love love this story!!!! Congratulations!!!

Beautiful!! Love that you did this slowly and simply!

Your story is epic! I love how you did this in baby steps. It proves that you CAN get healthy without killing yourself at the gym. Congrats!!!!!

You can totally do it. But remember that you just birthed a human! How amazing! And your body will change. I had b cup breasts before I had my son and now I am a solid d cup. Very happy with that. Lol Take your time. Enjoy your baby and don't rush to lose the weight. You still have hormones flushing through you. You've…

Thank you for sharing your story! What an inspiration!!!

You are amazing!!!! Congrats to you!!! <3

I tried using Myfitnesspal regularly, but didn’t stick with it. - so why are you posting here? :|

Meeeee! I'm 5'3" and 170. Ugh. Want to drop at least 35

I'd like to start weight lifting but can't afford a gym membership. Are there any online programs or DVD's you recommend? I'm looking for something that literally tells me what to do and how to do it. Thanks!

You are the cutest!! Your enthusiasm shows and you SHOULD BE PROUD!!!!! Congratulations!!! Woot. Woot. Confetti cannons

Love all of these!! I eat 2 hard boiled eggs on my commute home to minimize my hunger before dinner I'm drinking 10 glasses of water daily. I have a 24 oz coffee cup and I refill it three times at work. Sipping all day long

Hi Everyone! 5'3" and 171 here. Goal weight is 135. I'm curvy and want to keep it that way. I'd be happy with 140 I have tried all kinds of diets and restricting myself doesn't work. While I enjoy how I feel on the keto diet I miss chocolate and treats so I think I need to just calorie count and exercise more. The lowest…

:) Absolutely inspiring!!!

Gorgeous!!! There's hope for me at 43!!!

This post is amazing and should be given to everyone who wants to give up! You are real. Honest. Genuine. You have taken accountability and you kicked serious butt!!!! Congrats on your journey!!!

Honestly that's only a 20 lb gain each year when you break it down - and gaining 20 lbs per year is pretty easy to do if you eat badly (which I'm REALLY good at!) :) So now you know you want to change things and get healthy. FANTASTIC!!! Just like jprewitt said - small changes are easy to implement and will make it easier…

Love your story! Real and honest. Congrats on your success!! I'm going to take a lot of your advice and keep trucking along

I love you guys. Thank you so much!!!

You want to eat because you are literally STARVING yourself. The lowest you should ever go is 1200 calories and that is too low. You can get rid of your appetite by EATING!!!

Thank you for this! I've been so lazy lately and the scale is creeping up. This is just what I needed to get inspired again. I love the C25K program. But I was always upset that I couldn't keep up but it's clear I was going too fast too soon and I gave up. I'm starting over. Thank you!! You look amazing!! A true inspiration

Yay!!!! Congrats!!! I'm currently working towards the size 10's. They look amazing on you!

I'm joining late but I am SO glad there's a name for this insidious disease. I have put on 40 lbs over the past years and it is all due to bingeing. I can easily eat an entire large pizza in one sitting and have no problem putting down ice cream and 2 sodas after. 2 lbs of M&M's? Done it. Entire bags of Oreos with milk?…

I do so well during the week and the weekends I eat like I've never seen food before. I have found that I've put on 3 lbs over the past few months just by doing that!!! It goes on quickly..... I like the food prep Friday night idea.....and also ensuring that I get my exercise in for the weekend, too. I tend to over relax…

Ok. I'm back. I completed round 1 on the 21 day fix and I lost a grand total of NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOWEVER - I am stronger than I was 21 days ago. I know this because I can now do the majority of the workouts without stopping and I've increased my weights. For me, the workouts are worth the money I wasted on those…

I'm 41 and just about the biggest procrastinator on the planet. :laugh: If you're looking for someone to respond to your posts daily - you probably don't want to add me. But I always enjoy more friends!
