Best of luck to you! Don’t be afraid to start small, if it seems overwhelming to accomplish everything at once. Those are lofty goals in my world, to do all at once. Not sure where you’re at or your goals. I just thought, “heck, I never work out 5x a week, and I’m drinking a soda right now!” 🤣 It took me a few years but,…

You’re a normal human who’s going to go on vacation, birthday parties, restaurants, etc, right? There’s no “cheating”. You’re living your life, and that will include the occasional splurge meal or dessert. Everything and anything in moderation. Unless you’re never going to eat carbs, sweets, whatever for life, it’s…

I’d love to join too! I would like to lose 8-10 in September.

I loved bread too, and still have my own problems when it comes to not binging. I was going to mention, though, that I gave up bread and pasta. I thought it was going to be torture but it really hasn't been that bad. There are others in my house who are eating it too. In the few months I've been doing it, I have had a…

The people who say these things haven't spent their entire lives very thin and fit. It's normal for people to say this to OVERWEIGHT people because we obviously have been overeating and need to control our portions better and learn better habits! I certainly wouldn't tell a thin person, who has never had any weight issues…

What a great accomplishment! I love how you post about him and his accomplishments and how hot he is. True love right there! :smiley:

I have some of the shakes in a pinch and they are decent. I would say look on ebay or something if you really want to get some though! Don't pay rep prices! I wouldn't worry too much about what other people think. Yeah, it'd be great if we were all perfect all the time but life gets in the way sometimes. Some people work…

I'm so random! I had oatmeal, celery, and peanut butter! It was the best I could do before running out the door.

I don't understand why people claim this? If there is too much sodium in diet soda, then pretty much every sauce, meat, or non vegetable or fruit food is out as well! Of course, even the carrots I had today had more sodium than one diet coke so that might be out too. One can of diet coke has only 50mg of sodium. 50 PEOPLE,…

From what I have seen, Gastric Bypass is not magic cure. I'm sure you still worked really hard to get to where you are now! Congrats!

I watch it occasionally for motivation and to scare the crap out of myself. I know not everyone feels bad for them...they did it to themselves, blah, blah, blah but I know from personal experience that weight can be a really slippery slope. In 2 years I quit smoking, was laid off from my job, depressed, out of work for 7…

Aww, that's terrible! Couldn't she has gotten a home health aide or something for a while? I don't know, I know they don't have those services anywhere. :( Sad!
-
Agreed! I have over 100lbs to lose myself and I go to a training 2x a week and everything I do there is hard! I do squats, lunges, push ups, sit ups, left lifts, "bicycles" and other things. It's was terrible on my 1st visit. I thought I was going to die! (A little dramatic but you know what I mean). It's still hard but I…

Sadly, I am even jealous of you! It's 12F right now but windy and it was -11F just 2 days ago as I was going to work! I live in Minnesota. It's funny because I was going to say 11 below but I remembered my dad saying that he was talking to some southern folks (while in Florida) and they said "11 below what?" Haha, they…
-
This thread is making me feel SO much better! I am continually going over my fat and am still quite a bit under my calories. I'm mostly gluten and dairy free (by choice) and I'm eating NO junk food whatsoever! It's like if I have part of an avocado and some nuts or beef, or oil in one day, though, I have to eat an…
-
I first started at 1lb a week so, like you, I had a little more calories to work with and didn't feel like I was super hungry. So, I got 1800-1900 calories a day (I've got a lot to lose). I've now gone gluten and dairy free though (99% anyway, it's hard to be perfect!) and now I find it really hard to eat that many…
-
I weigh myself once a week. Once in a while I do a second time if I just HAVE to know but, I actually don't even have a scale in my house. It broke a while ago and I was going to get a new one but, I know, I would weigh myself everyday and it's kind of freeing not to. So, I weigh myself at my 1st training appt. at the gym…

I love all the motivation on this thread! I already posted yesterday about "wanting in" but if anyone is looking for more friends, please add me! I'm not SUPER talkative but I like to post updates on how things are going and it's great to read others too! I think together we can definitely all do this!!
-
I would love to be a part of this also! I have closer to 140-150 to lose but I would definitely be happy with 100 by the end of the year! I've lost about 10lbs in 2 1/2 weeks so I'm feeling like that's a great start!
-
--It sounds like depression to me. I would suggest seeing a doctor. I've gone through years of this myself and it's hard to recover from. Even your regular doctor can do a check up, have you fill out paperwork, and see what's going on. I hope you feel better soon!

Also, depending on where you go the bread can an enormous amount of calories! A burger king tender grill is 320 (without mayo) but the chicken itself is only 130 calories!! They give you a huge, thick bun. Eating only half of the bread might make a huge difference! I'm in the same boat today so I'm getting an "unwich" from…

I don't know either but Lambrusco is want got me drinking wine. Mmmm!

I think many people have made some good points here. Maybe it was already mentioned but I don't think you son needs to actually LOSE that weight. The extra 15 lbs may make you feel rotten and, as parents, we all feel rotten about SOMETHING we've "done" to our children! :smile: It's ok, you haven't failed him or been a bad…

KIX CEREAL is a good one. I was really surprised when I looked at the label but it's only 88cal per serving and 2g of sugar!! There aren't many others that have that little sugar!
-
Awesome! This looks like some much fun! I don't know that I'll be able to win but I'm definitely going to try these songs tonight and see what I get!
-
Poor thing! Maybe stop weighing yourself every day! It's not going to help you lose any faster but there doesn't seem to be a point in torturing yourself daily! At least bring it down to weekly, maybe! Good luck though. Keep going and you'll get there! I'm on a 5 year plan myself! :laugh:
-
Yep, evil ads! The one I saw was a bottle of WINE! :cry: I'd really like to drink that entire bottle but then I don't think I'd get to eat dinner!
-
I didn't lose much the 1st week maybe 1-2lbs but then the 2nd week I lost like 5lbs.
-
Cozumel for me in just under 8 weeks! I've begun the countdown already!!
-
I depends on what you eat. I very happily eat chinese every now and then cause I love it. Usually it adds up to about 400 cal for a pretty decent serving. I know white rice isn't the best and the sodium is usually an issue but I'm just not willng to feel like I can't eat "normal" (as in what others are eating, going out, a…
