I am right about 50lbs now

I had several NSV this week. I went to Macy's to look for a dress, straight upstairs as that is where the dresses are...women's size dresses! I had to go back downstairs to the regular sizes. So many years of habit to go upstairs. I baked a cake for Christmas dinner, cranberry orange with buttercream frosting, all from…

this! I am so struggling with perspective tonight. The scale sees it, my clothes see it, friends and family see it and I thought I saw it but, tonight I wanted to cry. I lost a total of 50lbs over the last 2 years with 10lns over the last 2 months but I saw a picture of myself from a party over the weekend and was…

I was scrolling through our security cameras screens and was startled that there was a woman sitting on the sofa in the family room....it was me, I was looking at me sitting there

feeling heavy and discouraged today until I saw a before and current picture of myself

You are singing my song. We are on the same rollercoaster.

I would like to be included please

I think of calories like money. It's all in the bottom line. Like a bank account, money (calories from food) comes in from multiple sources and reasons and money goes ( calories burned) out for different reasons in a specific amount. Weight loss is like your bank account, calories in, calories burned. I hope my bank…

I have been in remission for years but I am still careful with spices, meat, seeds and stress

my hero and inspiration

Getting to put my summer cotton and linen clothes in the dryer in the hope they shrink! No more worrying about what can't go in the dryer!

I am in the same boat. I travel about once a month and I find that planning is the key. I check restaurants menu online when possible and preplan my meal. I don't like to announce to coworkers that I am on a diet but a salad is something easy to get and nobody questions that order. I tell them that I like to eat light on…

I had just completed a difficult 4 days over 2 cities across the county to present to Gonvernment auditor. A very stress full time but I rocked it and passed all audits. My boss was traveling with me and when we parted at the airport to go to separate sides of the country, she hugged me and said she was so proud of me. I…

early to bed normally means its because I am at my calorie limit

mine is open, very boring but I do log everything....the good, bad and ugly

I missed 3 calls today because I couldn't find my phone, it sounds close but I can't find it.....it waist my back pocket and i kept turning around together closer to the sound

Someone asked if my mom (size 2) was my real mom.

Me too, starting over. All that hard work, gone. My fear was always that Would have to start over, and here I am

Mine was when we installed security cameras around our house. Seeing myself on the monitor, there was no hiding from my size. It was to the point that I was viewing recorded activity in the driveway from the day before and was alarmed to see a "very large woman" walking around our cars. It was me! I love 30lbs since the…

I am right there with you, I was at 216, went down to 168 and back up to 216. Today I am at 185 but I dont think I will ever re-gain. Its too much work to get it off to start over again. I think of all the hard work and it keeps me going. I will continue to lose but at a slower pace. Its truly calories in vs calories out…

count me in! message me

Dippers, frozen chocolate covered fruit for around 100 calories

I love my Fitbit, it shows me how inactive I am on desk job work days. It gives me the incentive to walk a few miles every day because I am competing against other people. Having said that, I just switched to the Motiv fitness ring because I want to see my heart rate and also because I have lost my Fitbit 4 times. For me,…

i feel your pain. Sweets are my downfall. There was a time that my motivation for going out of the house was the chocolate ( i felt I deserved) in the trip. I would buy Tastycakes that I would keep to myself out of the kitchen so binging was easy. Reese cups were always in my night stand and I baked cakes weekly. The good…

I weigh myself every morning and record it. I like to see the overall fluctuations so it reminds me that its not always a straight line downwards.

Hi Avi, I am in NCC but wish I lived in Lewes!

most of what I eat is considered a snack food. Smart Fries, Laughing Cow cheese wedges on apples, english muffins or crackers. If you look at my food diary you will see what a fan of Carmel fiber bars I am. They have been the key to my success

TastyKakes, Wawa dounts, nightly ice cream and Oreos. oh, and my reward for grocery shopping of a candy bar with each trip.

Yes! It makes total sense. My jeans fit looser but not too big to wear but they are suddenly so long. I noticed I seem to loose the weight in my butt and shoulders first.
