I can drive a few different routes to work in the morning and when I feel that urge to stop at McDs or BK for breakfast I take the route that has no fast food restaurants on the way. Then I get over it!

I didn't realize it until my husband said something. Down 22lbs, shows in my face. I'm pretty excited because I've been fighting my weight for many years.

Just found three pairs of shorts in my dresser that finally fit after holding onto them for 3 years. :)

Wearing a smaller bra I used to wear, AND had to adjust the straps almost 3" so it fit right!

I visit my family every six months (between VT and MD), next trip is in July and I want to be 30 lbs less. I always feel like the 'fat' sister, so this is a goal for me. Already 16 down!

That was one of the strategies I adopted too! If I'm sitting and watching TV (after a full day of good diet, getting a walk in, etc), if I'm sitting, I'm finishing off a cross stitch project. I'm almost done with a project now and ready to start another. I don't choose small projects either, I like the huge complicated…

I hit and surpassed my "quarter to goal" mark yesterday - that felt good and I'll bet you feel terrific! Half way there - you rock!

I tried on a few things in my closet I couldn't wear 6 months ago and discovered I could fit into a lot of them. What is even better? I had a bunch of stuff I'd bought that still had tags, never used that were now too big for me so I returned them and got a $99 in-store credit for them! Woo Hoo! It PAYs to clean your…

I've been following my own version of WW Points Plus with help from my sister and the internet. Works great for me. 17 down since March 1.

I laughed out loud..... I thought the same thing! Great comment!

That I would no longer have that 'weight thing' nagging in the back of my mind all hours of the day, even an night when I take a potty break! What a relief! It's like a new felt freedom.

Oh...did I mention wine?

Exactly! I'm doing WW Points and now as I write I'm having 'skinny' chicken cordon bleu and broccoli with melted laughing cow cheddar. I'm totally satisfied and lost 2.7 lb last week!

A jacket I bought last year fits me now!

I think that's why these discussions are SO important. Everyone is at different stages, and everyone has their own inspiring story. I find browsing through them keeps my head in the right place. All of you are amazing.

Congratulations on your success! I'm 17 lb from ONEderland - can't wait to be a member!

LOL, he should go on tour....my husband could use the influence! Amazing story!

I love a good story with a happy ending! Congratulations - you are inspiring!

Oh my word - that is amazing.

An amazing story! You must feel great, thank you for sharing!

An amazing journey - you must feel fantastic!

After 17 pound loss.

Great job! Cant wait until I can say "lost 40 lbs"!

This afternoon my jeans kept munching my underwear down. Guess smaller jeans are in my future!

My rings are spinning around too! May need to resize in a few months!

When I wind down for the evening I start working on an old cross stitching project when I sit to watch TV. Keeps my hands busy and I'm finally finishing a project I started a few years ago. It totally replaced my old snacking habit. Down 14 lbs since March 2!

This is such a refreshing post. Just today? 1. Have my healthy breakfast and log it 2. Clean my screened porch for summer 3. Prepare myself mentally for a 5-day stretch of exercise, Mon-Fri. I am motivated to make an entry tomorrow! Guess I'll go now and get to cleaning that porch.

My straw - I had started a routine and new way of eating back in September 2014, was able to begin buying new clothes and was feeling just amazing because the better diet and doing Level 1 of J.M 20 minute shred. I felt better tying shoes, aches and pains had subsided, loved pulling up smaller jeans. Then took a week…

New here - not new to dieting but I'm determined to keep going. Just like you said "new way of eating". It's your new life, make it work for you. There are lots of alternatives when it comes to prepping your meals, find the healthiest route and take it. You will feel better just knowing you finished your day eating well.…
