Thanks everyone! I’ll look into that body weight program and definitely up my protein. Good to know it’s not inevitable that I’ll lose it all.

SW: 190 GW: 150 End of May weight: 174.1 June 5th: 171.4 June 11th: 169.6 Down 4.5 pounds so far this month! Hopefully I’ll lose another 4.5 by the end of the month 😊

I'm in! I weigh in daily but will log it here weekly. Hoping to lose 5-8 lbs in June. Can't wait! I'll log Thursdays probably.

My go-to low cal snacks include multigrain Cheerios with 1% milk, a can of tuna (by itself or with rice cakes) rice cakes with PB, a small chicken breast with some feta (only about 125 cals). I also love to keep flavoured soda water around. It fills me up until meal time, it's delicious and hydrating! Soda water (not…

I meant to add, often just knowing that I "can't" eat anything else for the day triggers a craving for more. Eating the last meal of the day and knowing I have no calories left for more, even if I don't really feel like I *want* more, makes me feel deprived. I really had to learn to get over this. Allotting calories for an…

Tea, coffee and soda water with lime juice help me between meals and in the evenings when I have cravings. They fill me up and let me feel satisfied. Allot some calories for an evening treat if that helps. Sometimes I'll pre-log a handful of Werther's Original to suck on at night time. They last forever. Or an oz of…

Be aware of slipping too far below your goal weight as well! It may seem okay to lose a few extra pounds but ultimately if you don't learn to maintain without losing you'll keep losing and that isn't healthy physically or mentally. You've been working hard for years and deserve more calories, more food, a somewhat…

Downhill skiing isn't wonderful exercise, unfortunately. I wish! Cross-country on the other hand, is a killer calorie burner.
-
I tend to over-estimate calories so I'm usually only pleasantly surprised by how *few* calories are in something. Sour cream, for example? I dump that stuff on my baked potatoes, now (though I'm not super concerned about fat content). And sugar! I mean, large amounts for baking are one thing but a teaspoon on some cereal…

Low fat/cal dairy (besides cheeses that are naturally low cal like feta). There is nothing worse than skim cheese. Mini 100 cal snack bags - are you kidding? I will eat the whole box. I'd rather just buy one regular kit Kat than a box of 20 100 cal kit Kat snacks. Frozen low cal dinners - they're expensive and I can make…

Two rice cakes with natural, crunchy PB, honey and banana. And coffee with Bailey's! 428 calories (2 oz of Bailey's)

Losing 21 lbs in January is pretty extreme and unlikely. Sorry, I don't mean to be a downer! But the majority of people lose about 2 lbs a week with a very determined exercise and diet regimen. You may lose a few more on top of that with water weight loss but you're looking at maybe 10-12 lbs tops. I just think you should…

Starting weight 200 01/01/2017 - 164.6 01/06/2017 - 163.8 January goal - 159.6 Ultimate goal - 145 Loss of .8 lbs in 6 days. I'll take it! I didn't meet my calorie goal every day so I'll just have to do better this week and hopefully I'll lose a full pound or more.

Isn't it funny that our feet get smaller when we lose weight? My mom and I both laughed about this when we lost weight (she about 100lbs and me about 60). You never think of your feet as "fat" but lo and behold I went from a 10 to a 9. I have to stuff paper in the toe of my nice shoes I bought when I was heavier.

I'm just updating - I got a new scale which added 7 lbs to my weight... I'm not sure if it's accurate but I think it's more accurate than my old one. OUCH! Anyway, here are my new numbers: Starting weight 200 Current weight - 167 January goal - 162 Ultimate goal - 145

Sorry, meant to say I weight daily

Monthly measurements and non-scale victories. Maybe you can do more push-ups than you could 50 days ago? Or fit into pants you couldn't fit into? Focus more on these non-daily accomplishments. I weigh myself monthly as well but if I had a problem seeing the oz fluctuations I'd probably switch to weekly.
-
I'm not sure but this is a really good idea. Maybe suggest it if it doesn't already! Or there may be another similar website that does.

Anyone here is free to add me! I lost over 60 lbs about two years ago and slowly regained 24 of them. Ugh. Oh well! Gonna lose them by the summer time. Add me upppppppp.

I'm in! Starting weight - 200 Current weight - 160 January goal - 155 Ultimate goal - 145 I hope to lose 5 lbs every month for the next three so I hope this challenge keeps going! I'll weigh in on Fridays.

Put some cheese on that chicken! Switch the rice out for potatoes sometimes. Have homemade tacos, burgers, pizzas, salads, sandwiches, ribs, roasts, soups, stews. Literally anything! You can eat *anything* you want and lose weight, as long as you are burning more calories than you are eating. It's a beautiful thing,…

my parents have this same stuff! a whole kitchen full of it, everything you can think of - gravy boat, cat dish. Oh man. It's pretty. I got excited because I hadn't seen it anywhere before! Makes me nostalgic.

I know just what you mean, I learned early on in this process (about 3 years ago) that it was really useful for me to have something in the house that I could mindlessly eat when I felt the urge. For 90% of my week I'm able to eat what I've logged in advance and move on with my life but sometimes I just want to snack on…
