you can do it! Remember that it is not always the size but how you feel! you can "feel" better by July and have alterations done on the dress:)

It is always the start of a goal that is the hardest! You have already set a goal, now go get it! Thank you for your service!

I love it! yeah, the calorie counting sometimes sucks but most ppl are supportive and helpful. The ones who are not just make me laugh! So a plus all around. I have done JC and have been on a diet my WHOLE life... This is much easier and helps me to be accountable to myself! Add me as a friend if you want. GL!

I have always been the fat BM! Hated it every time! Glad my friends love me for who I am, instead of what I looked like in 22 and 20 sized BM dresses. Currently in a 14/16... with many miles to go! Keep on track! You can do it! It is all on you so do not give up! There will be bad days, but also great days! Add me if ya…

done!!! throughout the day 4 sets of 50... then 2 sets at 20 and finally 1 at 10... :/ Awesome challenge!

in. Love leg work! even if it kills me...

that is great! good job!

I work nights and weekends and choose to ignore the Mon/Fri... I just keep a tally for myself and look at things in terms of months. 7 days is not that important to me and no, I haven't found a way to change the days nor the hours or the ticker... I just go about my biz and forget all that. My day starts late in the…

great! keep it up!

positive mfp friends are a must:)

Fantastic job! I started at around the same weight and have lost 60lbs. keep it up!

good for you!!!

I do... and I usually tell the lil boys to rack their weights because I am not there to clean up their mess!

I haven't had a soda in years... BUT I switched to energy drinks 5 to 10 a week... then I found out I was allergic to HFCS, maltodextrin, etc .. SO I quit all of the monsters et al ....except for RBtotalzero because i thought it gave me wings... I quit that 12 wks ago... when I have candy, its dark chocolate... or candy…

fantastic!

i used to workout 6 to 8 times a week with minimal to no loss... It was totally my diet! I wasn't eating enough calories. Now I workout 7 to 14 times a week and because of my diet I have lost almost 60lbs since May. if the weight is not coming off, are your clothes fitting any different? Maybe using a measuring tape will…

good for you! Congratulations for all of the positive changes you have made in your life!

i use a variation of these products for my protein shake....chia seeds, soy protein (allergic to whey), psyllium, almond milk or chocolate almond milk, 100% juice (any juice), frozen fruit, soy milk, local honey, h2o, local bee pollen, flax seed, quinoa flakes

Avocado, broccoli, spinach...fiber and protein.

it is a great site! i used another for a short time a few yrs ago and it wasn't the same. I talked a few family members into joining but they have almost all dropped off the radar here. Bummer. Oh well, I am still determined and don't want to be unhealthy like my older siblings. I am choosing to change my future…

a protein, a vegi, and a fruit... a slightly different version of a paleo diet. I am not only gf but also corn, rice, egg, and dairy free... However, due to these allergies and my change in diet, I have lost a total of 55lbs... the last 25 here on mfp in 7 months.

you are doing great! keep up the good work!

Ditto what he said! And for me, my tape measure is better for my state of mind than the scale..

ashesfromfire ... early 20's

great job!!!

Good for you!

Yes, but only a portion, and I have lost 42lbs doing it. And with all the working out, I am actually hungry:)

good for you! thank you for the inspiration!

Thank you for sharing! Great post!

YES!!!! Start lifting today! Great advice from everyone that responded! I have been lifting and doing cardio since May and have lost 40lbs with many miles to go. I did not join here until 70 days ago. I maybe could lose weight quicker with just cardio but know that I want to completely change my body and my lifestyle. i do…
