Scales are evil :p take your measurements, and transformation pics... they will tell you far more than that evil piece of metal ever will. Feel free to add me if you would like. I am 48 years old, started back on 11/18/16 with 95lbs to lose. down 71lbs the last 24lbs are the bane of my existence at the moment :D but I will…

Feel free to add me!

Connecticut - At home right out of the tap, at work it is from the sink but put through a filter/bubbler type machine. I buy a case of water (which ever is on sale) to bring up with us to the campground on the weekends as the tap water there taste funny to me. It's not I am just one of those people who over think stuff :D…

Hi there... I started back in November 2016 with 95lbs to lose just to get out of the obese BMI and into an overweight BMI. I have since loss 71lbs with 24lbs to go before I hit the OVERWEIGHT BMI... :D :p Charts say I should be 145lbs (high end) for my height. I am not totally sold on that one just yet so I am shooting to…

You keep doing you, doesn't matter what others think or see, all that matters is YOU know that you are doing the right things!!!

everyone is different, I lost 32lbs in the first 3 months but I also had 95lbs to lose. I would buy a dress that fits you now and have it altered smaller than buy a smaller dress and it not fit the way you want it to fit. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

In better shape at 48 than I was in my 30's....

Love salad... the options are unlimited!! <3 I could eat them daily :p

I love eggs... I do a ton of eggwhite scrambles with veggies and protein. I also like over medium hard boiled eggs with lots of cracked pepper and salt. I will prep egg muffins with the fixing in a cupcake tin, those are easy to make and freeze for handy eats. I use a variety of veggies/cheese/protein in those as well. I…

Congratulations!!! Keep up the good work. Prep/Planning is going to be key going forward especially since you will have busy season upon you. :p I started 11/28/16 with 95lbs to lose, I have since lost 71lbs with 24lbs to go, although I will probably add another 5-8lb to that 24lbs for a new goal weight. We shall see how I…

coming from someone who use to be you... You don't want it, its not a priority to you... I am not saying this to be snarky or mean. I say this out of a lifetime of experience... I am a lifer to the world of all things "diet"... gain, lose, gain again, lose some gain even more, never sticking to it... I feel ya, I made…

Feel free to add me... I log daily, have been doing so since 11/28/16, lost 71lbs and have 25ish more to go (which will turn into 30-35 more seeing how I have changed my goal weight twice already LOL)

I just make myself do it, and it takes every fiber of my being to get in that exercise in but usually after I am done I am glad I did it and feel great... or sometimes I just take a "rest" day and make sure that I stay with in my calories or if I am going to indulge in calories I must work out. It's pretty much a balance…

I don't eat take out much, if i do its usually a subway salad w/tuna or rotisserie chicken. Not usually a whole lot of healthy take out/fast food places near me so I am big on meal prep so I usually make a big batch of soup in the crock pot on Sundays and portion it out for lunches over the week. This week was a Italian…

I am in... I sent a request to join. Question, how do I save the group so I know how to find it and participate? Sorry, not MFP saavy B)

My diary is open to friends if you want to add me... I am a creature of habit so you will see alot of the same stuff. I tend to mix it up a bit more once summer ends as we have a place on a lake that we go to on the weekends from April- Oct... then I am home more and like to try/make new things. I have lost 71lbs thus far…

I have lost 71lbs and still have another 25ish to go... I log daily and my diary is open to friends... feel free to add me.

I am a big fan of crock pot soups that I make on Sundays and take for lunch during the week. This past Sunday I made a Italian Turkey Sausage soup. I cut up and browned turkey sausage links, put white beans, carrots, sliced baby red bliss potato, fire roasted diced tomatoes, organic vegetable broth add water, hot sauce,…

I have a draw in my desk full of "in your calorie range Kelly " alternatives. I make sure that it is stocked with almond butter, rice cakes, Kind bars, granola, nuts, seeds. The director of marketing constantly walks around with candy to hand out and I simply say no thank you when he stops at the door of my office. We are…

WOW what an amazing difference... you look so much younger and so healthy!!! We have similar stats... I started off at 259.9 on 11/28/16 currently weigh in at 188.6 with a goal weight of 160. I know first hand how much dedication goes into that kind of loss... GREAT JOB!! You are kicking some serious *kitten*!!!

I don't diet... I eat within my calories and don't restrict myself of any single food. Yes I strive to make healthier options on a daily basis but never deprive myself. I find that you want something more when you "can't" have it. Since I can have it, I don't really want it that often. This lifestyle is a mind game, at…

For the first time in many years of being a yo yo dieter I decide this time around that I wasn't going to diet. I was going to work on changing my lifestyle by changing my bad eating habits and eat within my calories. If it fit in my calories and I wanted it, I ate it. If it didn't fit in my calories I worked out to make…

I don't log exercise, I let my fitbit and Map my Walk adjust for "ACTIVE" steps. I see the difference in the adjustment from when days I hit my step goal with just everyday normal steps vs the step adjustment I get from actually working out with Zumba/Treadmill/jogging etc. I can hit my step goal but that doesn't mean I…

I too am a social drinker... I was a beer girl for the longest time. When my husband and I started this new lifestyle of ours we gave up beer totally. When we do drink now it is either Tito's Vodka with seltzer and a splash of cranberry juice or Smirnoff spike seltzers which are 90 calories. We have a wine now called…

I will say that when I first started I too set up a 2lb loss each week because I wanted it gone, 95lbs to lose and who had time for that. I quickly changed that tune when I started losing my hair and had bald patches in my long blonde hair from the lack of nutrients I was getting from having such an aggressive loss each…

I would have to assume that you are looking to lose like 2 lbs a week? I would first start off by adjusting the amount you want to lose weekly to 1lb a week so that you can increase your calories. Slow and steady wins the race, I know we all just want to lose the weight like yesterday but there has to be a balance if you…

I am big on meal prep to save time, these are my favorite go too's - Breakfast bowls - 1c low fat greek yogurt, 1/2 scoop of protein powder, 1/3c trail mix and add a few blueberries/raspberries Lunch- Protein boxes- soft boiled egg and/or tuna, 2 tbsp of hummus with a raw veggie serving, snack cheese Dinner- Protein bowls-…

Hi Alex, Kelly here... I too was an emotional eater who suffers from chronic pain due to herniated disc in my neck and lower back. I ate when I was happy, I ate when I was sad, when I was bored or too busy, I ate when I was in pain and that was pretty much every minute of the day. I have been on a diet many many times,…
