After 4 months and 20lbs, one of my co-workers asked how much weight I have lost and said I look great! She did not know I have been "dieting"! Yay! Someone who sees me everyday noticed!

Congratulations! You are gorgeous!

I am hoping to get a fitbit in the next couple of months, glad to know how to log it. Thanks!

Love all of your stories...every path is it's own! Mine is quite simple; I am in my early 50's, married, mother to four young, adult children who are all, thankfully, slim and trim. I have always been "chubby" (a word that sticks in my mind when I think of my body), I am 5'4" and usually wear a size 12 or 14. Well, after a…

Great job! It is a big change, and you are very inspiring! I am feeling a bit in a slump, and honestly you are inspiring! Thanks!

I agree! I have a full time demanding career, and I have a husband and four kids, there is no way I would have that kind of time. We are active participants in our community and church as well, so working out 30 -45 minutes a day works perfect for me. 3 hours as a beginner and your body will hurt!

Great topic and advice. I had this same weight loss revelation in April click with me and have lost 15lbs in 3 months. I plan to continue in this manner more or less as it is working without stressing me, causing diet anxiety, making me feel guilty or anything else. Just plain and simple! Best wishes to all of you!

It's OK to do that; it seems to be part of our journey. Don't over think it or make more of what happened than you need to, just forgive yourself and move on. You cannot uneat what you have eaten (don't I wish we could), so just let it be and move on. Tomorrow really is another day! Good luck, I wish the best for you!…

Congratulations on your success and winning attitude. Your methods and story are just what I needed today. Thank you. :flowerforyou:

Happy Birthday! You look great and set to have the best year of your life!

I can't wait!

What has been working for me is just standing up straight - using good posture - and walking right on by! I envision my slim self looking good in a sundress or tight jeans and I then feel self satisfied about passing up the food. It was my decision to make whether to eat the food not, and I chose not! It feels so good!…

That is great and it is a big deal. It is HARD to rein ourselves in when it comes to eating. I am happy for you and inspired by you! I have also had a day filled with food that will continue into the evening. I have done pretty well! I will still be higher on my calories, but not out of sight. Reading what you did, your…

I do this, too! I really enjoy a couple of Jolly Ranchers throughout my work day!
-
Great job and congratulations to both of you! You look so happy and trim!

Beautiful!! 35lbs is a huge difference!! Congratulations on having a sweet little family, as well!

Setting mini goals is a great idea. I have a long term goal with a built in reward - I admit I started losing due to a trip in September! I started while wearing a very tight 16 with a goal of a size 12 before the trip, I am at a perfect 14 now, and I accidentally put on a size 12 pants while getting ready for work today,…

That is a big difference for two months! Good job and very inspiring!

I periodically garden, as well, and sometimes I log it because I sit in an office all day and it may be my only physical activity of the day (I always under estimate the time, though). I do not do it to eat back the calories, for me it is just to keep track of what I did other than sit on that particular day!

Haha!!

I noticed this week that when I need to pick up something off the floor, it is so much easier! :tongue:
-
Good job! I bet that feels really nice :)
-
Congratulations!! You have done an AWESOME job and are an inspiration to me!! I turned 52 in January and am on a journey as well!! Keep up the good work!!
-
Congratulations! I get the magazine and I had read your story before I saw this thread, that is just so awesome!
-
That is awesome! Congratulations...keep up the good work!

It does sound good!
-
Were can I find the recipe? I think we would like that.
-
Sounds great and I love the red pepper flake and broccoli suggestions.

Thank you! My husband and I will like this, I am sure!
