Thighs. And collarbone. I like to check myself out in the mirror lol and still don't recognize myself in pictures :)

YAY! You did it! I have 9 pounds left to go and man does it feel like forever away. I am just plugging along but darn it all I will get there! Very nice job and congratulations on your success! You are an inspiration :)

Many moons ago I would make steel cut oats and toss in almond butter and fruit...yum. There are some versions of overnight oats that are like this with almond, cashew, or peanut butter that are easy to make and taste so so. This could be a quick option and you could add in protein powder in the morning. I have heard of…

I don't think that will kill you.... But I admit I am puzzled at the "test" you have chosen to give yourself as some measurement of how much you want to eat better. Don't you already know how much you want to eat better? How much do you want to eat better? How does eating or not eating a Reese's measure that at all in any…

Just thought I would pop back to bump this thread, and let you know that pounds 31-50 came off EXACTLY like my first pound! Who seriously loses 50 pounds? It doesn't even matter. I continue to move forward, and can go forward or backward. I like forward! I am still working on 9 pounds to hit goal. The amount still remains…

YAY! I am working the calorie counting angle and VERY limited activity. I do chair yoga that is modified due to some health challenges. No matter. I have been working at this the past 8 or 9 months and have lost 50 pounds. You don't need vigorous exercise, or exercise at all for that matter, to lose weight :) Welcome and…

Ok it is an all out brawl to the finish here in Camp Kelly! Got on my scale today and BAM....141.5! So....we have one more week of challenge and I am 1.5 pounds left to go to hit my challenge goal! I started this challenge at 156.9, so that is a whopping 15.4 pounds for this challenge! And a 50 pound loss so far…

This past week I have been on a flavored coffee kick. I bought a bag of starbucks cinnamon dolce, dunkin donuts toasted almond, and dunkin donuts black cherry crisp. I get two "cups" in the morning, and by cup I mean mugful. Each mug gets 1/2 cup of 1% milk and a shake of sweet and low. Very similar nutrition wise to a cup…

Hooray for no longer worrying about your weight and letting it get in the way of your potential! The future is wide open :)

Fantastic! Count me in :)

I said no to the thoughts of failure and how much work I still have to do to lose these last bit of pounds that creep into my head. I said no to seeing an insurmountable obstacle. I said no to quitting. For today, I said YES to seeing the progress I have made and how my healthy choices have changed my body. I said YES to…

Congratulations for loving yourself and your body and going to a wellness event! More importantly, you learned some information about yourself and are using it to help your body become healthier. That is fantastic! Welcome and good luck! The time for change is now :)

AAAAGH 5 pounds to my challenge goal weight of 140 pounds.....2 more weeks of challenge left (I weighed a day early). This is a no holds barred rough 'em up and drag 'em out kind of fight to the finish! Leave it to my pounds to hang on until the bitter end lol! PS count me in for December... keeps me motivated watching…

Sounds like harassment (bullying) to me. I'd go to class, and if said person did anything remotely like that, take it up with the teacher and administration. If it continued, I'd go all the way up to the dean. You have a right to learn and not be discriminated upon because of your weight/ appearance. My other thought would…

This made me smile! Back in January, I had asked my doctors how I was supposed to lose 60 pounds with my medications and sedentary/ bedrest life. One of them looked me sternly in the eye and simply said "one pound at a time." That was it. It was so simple and easy that I could do it! And a lightbulb went off in my head.…

I LOVE this! It's a little too bad that nurse was so surprised, but it does make your story THAT much better! I would have paid to watch you proudly bare your arms :D Congratulations on your success!

I too struggle with hydration! I went out and got myself a lovely purple 1L water bottle that I take everywhere I go. I drink two of those a day and bam, hydrated! At first I also set a cell phone alarm every 2 hours reminding me to drink water. It sounds silly, but it totally worked. After about a month it was a habit.…

Well I am off to a decent challenge start. Hot here in CA as well...I run the ac and have taken to wearing my headwrap after soaking it in water when I leave the house. It does cool me off a bit but dries quickly. It is just one of those super wide style headbands. I also drink a ton of iced tea. I love sweet tea but it…

YIPPEE!!!! I am still a squeege above 150 (150.7) and darn it I just hate moving that over the extra notch! Congrats...hopefully I will be right there with you next week or so!!!

Congratulations! 20 pounds is amazing! It is such a good feeling when we have goals, work towards them, and see progress and success :) Way to go!!!!!

My linen pants (a juniors size 9 but a bit generous as they fit like an 11) FIT! I wore them to my dr appt, and the nurse commented my pants were getting too big because I lost so much weight. AND they were my old (pre-sick and pre-obese) pants. I smiled and said "these old pants?" but I'm telling you, it feels good to be…

I weighed a bit early this week, but it is looking like I might actually hit my challenge goal! It is many weeks early, but off to a strong start. And, to be honest, I would be happy as a clam to weigh 145 pounds and stay there. But 140 is the dream! <3 We shall see....today I weighed in at 150.9! So a loss of 6 pounds for…

YAY! I am also losing my weight a pound at a time. At first it seemed aggravating (maybe around week 10). But holy moly all those 1 pounds start to add up and before you know it you will be back where you want to be! Congrats on your success so far!

I have switched to weighing daily. I used to get frustrated with a gain of 3 pounds overnight and make poor food choices as an emotional response (NOT healthy). Now I weigh daily. Sometimes it is up a pound or 3, sometimes it is down a pound or 2 overnight, but each week I look at the overall trend which is downward. For…

I was going to say the keto as well...when I go super low carb or full keto I get funny smells. I don't smell fruity or acetone like in dka, or ammonia exactly either. Not quite like body odor, not quite like yeast, not quite like vinegar, just not quite right.

I can tell you the reverse...I went from a 34D at 133 pounds to a 38D at 192 pounds. Now I am around a 36D at 153 pounds. I anticipate to be in the 34D range when I am back at goal again. I guess I am usually fairly proportionate, but technically a 34D is smaller than a 38D, however I looked much bustier when the rest of…

Well my big NSV is the jeans in my profile pic....my OLD jeans :) Motivation alone to lose the rest of the weight and keep it off! A few of my assorted other items (2 sundresses and a pair of capris) also fit again, abeit a bit snug. The only thing better than new clothes are my old clothes I kept for the day the weight…

45 pounds is A LOT of weight lost :) Congrats on your success and on the outfit choices!
