My long term goal is to hike Mt. Killemjaro in 2024. I have lots of weight to lose and training to do before then. I have a trip to Greece in April/May and I want to lose 50 pounds by then. Then summer and fall training for my hike.

Great job--sounds like you did all the right things. I'm sure you feel great. You look wonderful, too.

The only thing that works for me is journaling all of my food and exercise and attempting to stay under my goal each day. I tried eliminating carbs, etc. and i just end up with cravings. Good luck to you.

Sounds like you have really gotten to know yourself and your body. Congratulations--keep up the good work.

Keep at it. You look great!

I always end the day with a sweet treat of ghiradelli sea salt and caramel square. Just one. I look forward to it.

what a wonderful accomplishment. congratulations.

I have been a soda addict since my teenaged years. It was my caffeine--I never could switch to diet and was drinking at least a 2L bottle each day. I quit last September 10 when I realized I could not fit into an airline seat. I resolved that day to quit and I haven't had any since. I have always been a sweet-lover but I…

Other than an occasional glass of wine, I don't drink any calories. I drink lots and lots of water. I log everything into MFP. And I agree, if I don't like it, I don't eat if even if it's "good" for me. It's a journey!

I just keep telling myself that i didn't gain this in a week and it is going to take more than a week to lose it too. keep it up.

I think all brides are beautiful!! that being said--i am soon to be the mother of the groom and am working hard for the same reason all you brides are--to look good in the photos. just smile and enjoy yourselves--you will be beautiful. we can sometimes be our own worst critics.

Congratulations--we are so accustomed to rewarding ourselves with food, but it's time to offer yourself a different reward. did you throw away all of your "fat" clothes? as i have been losing, i am getting rid of all of my larger sizes so i can tell myself i can not go back there. find a non-food reward! clothes, movie,…

FABULOUS JOB

You look wonderful!! You should be so proud of yourself. i decided when i started that i would go slow and steady. I still have 100+ to go but i am proud of the 30 i have lost. You must feel wonderful. keep it up. Remember--a pound a month is 12 pounds in a year and you will be at your goal.

You can add me! I have 100+ to lose. Support is crucial.

I was a coca cola addict for YEARS. I never liked hot drinks (coffee or tea) so i would always drink coke for the caffeine. i was probably drinking 1000-1200 calories a day. i would drink it continuously. last september i took an airplane and could not fit in the seat and i knew right then it was because of the coca cola…

I'll join

I'm interested

I am vegetarian but have a hard time going to vegan because my husband is not and likes to eat out a lot. there are very few vegan choices at most restaurants. my neighbor is vegan and she makes the most awesome meals--but she cooks everyday and almost never eats out. so i guess that is the best way. good luck
