Great job, babe!!! 25lbs REALLY shows!!!! Keep it up, your on the right track!

Don't let them bother you!!! If you need to unfriend them (is that possible on here??) or stop updating them. YOU do what you need to do to get where you want and forget the naysayers. Don't let their jealous or unwillingness pull you down with them. Your on the right track and keep on trucking!!!

I use the unsweetened, I prefer the Blue Diamond brand over Silk, IMO. I love it!! I has a great amount of calcium and is SO low cal!! I like as treat in the morning with my breakfast a glass of almond milk with a squirt of sugar free chocolate syrup, YUM and sure beats 200+ cals for a "real glass of chocolate milk! It is…

Not alone at all!!! I started at 311 and am now at 272. :)

Hey! My first advice is to only look at the smaller portion of the pic, don't look at as I have to lose x number of pounds to get to goal. The big picture is very daunting! Start with small goals, 5lbs, 10lbs, etc. Think about your food and logging it on an individual meal bases if needed. Have great easy to grab snacks on…

Hey girl! I'm in Fl also and have about the same amount to lose. I know you can do this!! Just take it day by day and don't stress the big picture. :flowerforyou:

In Florida also, not by the beach, kinda stuck between the coasts! And yes, its hot here!

Great video!! Best of luck to you!!! You are amazing and I know that you can do it!!! I hope you get accepted!!!

BTW, I just looked at the weight set posted and I love it! Thanks!

Thank you for the responses!! I think I have a Planet Fitness about 45 minutes away... $10 a month is a great price! The gym that is close to me is $30 a month and considerable smaller. I am going to look at the weight set posted and work out routines and try to get on it! Thanks everyone!

Woot!!! I tried on a blouse today that I have been wearing, not very well at that.... Today, it had loose areas where it didn't look like it was spandex-ed to my skin like it did before, it actually fit the "right way!" Cheers to your better fitting clothes, isn't it great??

Hey! Add me if you would like! I have more to lose, but I'm here to support!

Interested in this also.

Try: Roasted Cauliflower with a sprinkling of parmisan cheese, tastes so good and not bad on calories at all! How about finely chopped veggies mixed in to sauces? Like spaghetti sauce, etc Broccoli with grated cheese on it? Sweet potato fries (homemade baked in the oven?) Mashing in some cauliflower with mashed potatoes to…

Hey girl!! I have a LONG way to go and would love to help support you. :happy:

I didn't read the other replies, but I will offer a few suggestions. Nothing wrong with taking a snack like you did, but I would only take one with me per day. If I had a box there, I would end up eating them all. GUM! Try grabbing a piece of gum to chew when you feel the need to munch. Have a good snack such as grapes…

Is this something that you can use the PB2 (powered peanut butter) in? PB2 seems to be low in calories, and that could cut out some of the high calorie effect..... Maybe a smaller slathering of chocolate too?? Maybe someone with more PB2 could chime in, I have never used it. Why do the treats we crave have to be HIGH in…

Hey girl! You can do this!! I also have over 150 to lose.....

I see a big difference!!! Wtg!!!

Wow!!! Amazing change!! Thank you for wanting to join the Army and serve us.

Hey honey! I started at 311, I am currently 273. I am very motivated and work out daily. Add me if you would like. You've got this!!!!

WOW. ^that is all. :flowerforyou:

Thank you for explaining that!! I have wanted a good ice recipe for a long time!!!

Totally go for it! Eat one to two slices as your calories allow, put a salad on the side and/or fruit salad. I have had pizza twice so far in my journey. First time I had one slice and a salad. Second time I had enough calories for two slices. Neither night did I go over my calories OR gain. It's okay to treat yourself…

Best Birthday present EVER!!! You look A-MAZ-ING!!!!!

I don't have any suggestions, sorry! You're doing a great job and do fear a few less pounds each weight in, the pounds may not be there, but I bet the inches are!! Continue on the track that you're on, it is obviously working for you!

Fantastic!!!!! You and I both started at the same weight, I'm just a few inches taller at 5'4". You're an inspiration!!! You look fabulous!!!! I hope I can look just a good when I drop 159!

I have been using Runkeeper, but has given me kinda wonky numbers on two occasions. Example: Friday I dropped my car off for an oil change and decided to walk to finish a few errands. I paused it as needed, such as walking in a store, etc. When I stop the workout/app it said I had gone 60+ miles in 30 minutes! :huh: Then I…

^ Yup!

I wait, the scales are not nice that week........
