I am 21 (22 in may!) SW: 207 CW: 194.8 1st GW: 160 2nd GW: 130-140 EDIT: I forgot to say I am 5'6!

I'm 21, live in Minnesota, and started out at 207. Currently at 194.8. Feel free to add me! I eat tdee -20 percent. And work out almost every day doing cardio and strength training.

This. And if he smiles or laughs with his whole face/body I'm a goner. (lol Steve Carrell anyone?)

Go work out. It helps, makes me too tired to want to eat lol

For me I have tried motivating myself everyday, but it doesn't work for me. So I just don't give myself an option. Some days I wake up happy and excited for the day and exercising and eating right. And some days I don't. But I always stick to my calories even if I am complaining to myself all day long. I no longer give…

You could start with 30 day shred or Ripped in 30 (they are both Jillian Michaels), if they seem really easy for you then move up to P90X or Insanity. 30 day shred is free on youtube, so you could try it and see how you like it. I have heard Insanity is just that, insane lol. Good Luck!

My diary is open too. Here is a "normal" break down though Breakfast: 2 eggs, salsa, coffee with 2 creamers (about 280 calories total) Lunch: VARIES GREATLY! some days i eat oatmeal, some days eggs, some days soup, somedays a sandwich (anywhere from 200-350 calories) Snack: luna protein bar or fruit/yogurt/granola parfait…

Me too! Haha i check it everyday! Can't wait to be able to post in there!

Being uncomfortable all the time. And sometimes i forget i am fat and then i catch myself in the mirror. :-(

protein... lots of it. that is how i made it through the first week. I eat eggs in the morning, almost every day, and eat veggie and carb for lunch, protein for snack, and then protein (turkey burger, fish, hell even cottage cheese sometimes) for dinner with some fruit, and i normally save a hundred or 200 calories for…

Old Navy!! That's where I saw the stuff I liked. Thanks! I knew if I posted this, someone would come up with it lol.

I believe fashion bug went out of business =(

About 10 lbs.

70 from coffee in the am. And 60 from almond milk at night. Other than that i drink tea and water, mostly water

No more double chin!

LOL my eyes are pretty cool, and I like my butt.....gotten compliments on both, so yea those are my favorite :blushing:

I'm noticing my stomach isn't sticking out as much/ I am not feeling as self conscious about it. Probably just from my lower sodium intakes (lol less bloated!) I know for a fact my butt and thighs will be last, and even at my goal weight will be big. which is good for me because I love them and don't want them to…

Lab/American Bulldog Mix. He is almost 2, brindle, and 90 lbs. =) he's my sweet baby!

Red wine and super sweet coffee drinks.

I use Body Fortress from Walmart, its cheap-ish and taste great to me. Some people will say it's not the best, which it probably isn't, but it is a great way for me to eat more protein and it kicks my evening chocolate craving. I eat 1800 calories a day, and use 1 scoop protein powder with 8 oz almond milk (60 calories),…

SW: 207 CW: 197.4 GW: 140 That's in about 2.5 weeks. probably some water weight since I cut out alcohol and fast food (because of the cost, lol not the calories. but it sure has worked well for both!)

I tried the cheat day thing but i had no sense of control at the beginning of this journey, so i would end up binging. Now i just focus on hitting my macros and calories. I eat chocolate every day. But this ifs a lifestyle change and of cheat days work fore you, then have them.

I have certain mini goals set up to keep myself on track. I eat 1770 calories a day, work out once a day for 30 mins at least. Hoping to be 160 by the end of May. I have trip planned that I would like to be able to buy new summer clothes for. I have a mini goal of St. Patricks Day, hoping to be down 20 lbs (so 185 ish) by…

Divorce Lawyer.... no, really! From 6-12 that's what I wanted to be. Then it was pediatrician... then nurse.... then social worker.... now I am a Nanny and I love it. Turns out I just like taking care of kids. Best job ever!

my mom (who is also overweight BTW and has always been a lot heavier than me) used to ask me constantly if i "needed" to be eating that.... "I thought you were on a diet....guess you aren't anymore, huh?" "look at those thighs... aren't they called thunder thighs?" she has now lost 40 lbs, and I have gained 40 lbs (I was…

extreme makeover: weightloss edition. I feel like it is slightly more realistic than Biggest Loser, but I like both. BL makes me sad though when they weigh in. some of them get so bummed out if they don't lose 10+ lbs in a week and that is just so unrealistic in the real world. that's when the game part of that show gets…

The Almond Breeze Unsweetened brand is AMAZING! tastes WAY different than the Silk Almond milk. Also, Rice milk is not bad and is a lot less thick than almond, coconut and soy. GL

I don't know what I will really look like. I have been 160 when I was in high school, but since I have been 200 for more than a year i don't know if 160 will still look the same... Let alone what 135 will look like.

To have to buy new summer clothes because I lost weight, not because I gained weight! I am going to visit a friend at the end of May, and she lives 2 hours from the beach.... Really really really want to be able to wear a swim suit and not be uncomfortable.

this makes me sad. a lot of the guys who have the ab pictures have worked REALLY REALLY hard for YEARS to get them and maintain them. you are here to lose weight and get a better body right? then you are where those guys were months/years ago. don't hate on them.
