Wow, you have done an amazing job! Congrats on your success and best of luck in your continued journey!

I go through phases of logging and not logging but because I measure all my meals and I eat the same thing every day, logging is really just a way to insure I don't throw in anything extra like a few cookies or chips.

I didn't keep anything from my biggest size but I have gone from a 6/8 to a 0/2 (3/4 in certain jeans). I kinda with I would have kept just one pair of my old pants.

I've been as high as 34% and as low as 16% and my cycle is like clockwork. Everyone is different! :smile:

Heck no...that's insane! I have better things to do with my time than spend 2 hours a day working out!

A cheat meal, not a whole day!

We had one on the side of the house but my cat decided that he wanted to use it as a litter box :grumble: so I had to pull everything out. I plan to start growing stuff again but need to build something around the area to keep kitty kitty out!!!!

I'm 5'1" and for the most part I like it. I wear heels ALL the time which still only makes me 5'5" +/- but I don't like to go in flats very often because I feel like a midget. The other issue I have is when I am buying pants, the petite and short lengths are too short but the regular is too long so I always buy regular and…

Congrats on your success! You look amazing. I would have never guessed you are 240lbs.

Congrats on making the decision to get in shape. Best of luck to you. My only concern is that if you have back issues, you should not be doing ab exercises but instead focus that mid section on core training to strengthen your entire core. Abs are the top layer and crunches will not work the more important parts which are…

Good Job! You are looking awesome :-)

All day long!

Wow, I'm exhausted from reading all this. Feel like I just ran 5 miles! :laugh:

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could, some blunders and absurdities have crept in, forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day, you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Wanna know what I think when I see a heavier person running? I think "WOW, I'm jealous!" I may be smaller but can't run for distance to save my life. I hope you understand that not all thinner people think "Why is that person running they are over weight?" Some if not most of us are thinking how amazing it is that you are…

Depending on how hard you work at it, it can be as quick as 32 weeks at 2lbs per week. The more weight you lose and leaner you get, it will slow down. For me, I had no problems getting down to 118lbs and 16% bf at a rate of 2lbs per week but from there it would have taken drastic measures if I wanted to drop more because I…

I tell people 1x's your body weight in ounces, not half

I drink at least 1 gallon a day and I feel great. If I drink less I get tired and have a headache and sometimes even nausea. I've never experienced swelling or bloating when drinking this much water but when I get too much sodium on any given day, I swell up like the Michelin Man!

Gosh, I have to just say, anything related to weight it so tough in a relationship. I don't blame you for being hurt but I also can't blame him for his words. He's honest instead of lying to you and that is worth something for sure. I'm sure he is not a bad person, afterall, you are planning to marry him. Sometimes women…

I rarely ever skip a scheduled meal but if I do, it's not one of the 3 main ones. I always eat Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner and AM snack, PM snack and late night snack. I do occasionally skip my AM snack and/or my late night snack.

4 egg whites and 1/4c plain oats. 2 cups of coffee with splenda and 6 tsp of powder creamer. 207 calories. Sometimes I will add in a whole egg as well

I see a difference in your forearms and waist but the problem is that you are in in two totally different outfits which makes it hard to tell. Can't see your thighs and arms in the first pic. You may want to try wearing the same or similar outfits in future progress pics :-)

Carrying a loaded gun is always a good deterrent for someone watching you. I know laws are different in all states but I would have one on my side (in plain sight) ever time I went for a walk if it were me. I wouldn't freak out but I would be cautious for sure and like some others have said...mix up your route and your…

Holy Cow...you look amazing!!! Congrats

I just picked a number that I felt was appropriate for my height. When picking my body fat, I put a little more thought into it. I wanted to be in the athletic range so I researched the recommendations.

It's not bad at all but you need to make sure you drink plenty of water because protein is harder for the body to break down than carbs and fats. It will not hinder your weight loss, if anything, it will help!

Way to go! Looking great!

If you are feeling good then I would think just your annual well visits are fine.

Wow, awesome, awesome awesome! Congrats on your success, you look amazing

Had to pop in to see what this was all about. Will check back later when more peeps have visited.
