I think it's motivating to buy clothes in a size slightly smaller than you are now. I did this while losing weight, got them at the thrift store. I don't think it's a good idea to buy clothes in your goal size. I wouldn't have found it very motivating to look at a size 6 when I wore a size 22. The goal size jeans you buy…

Way to go!!

Well done. Beautiful family.

I notice small bruises on my wrists, shins and hips. I think that I bump these areas while getting used to a smaller body.

Swiss Miss diet cocoa. One packet is 25 calories and tastes so very fine mixed in coffee.

I am 5'4 and weigh 140 lbs. I wear a size 6/8 jeans and some small, mostly medium top.

I think you're on to something here!

Well done!!

Awwwwwwwwww..........he's a keeper!!

Amazingly awesome!!

You've got in goin' on!!!!

My weight went up four pounds since going to "maintaining weight" and has now leveled off. I lost 90 pounds so was a bit terrified to see the scale creeping up. Just give your body time to settle into the new regimen. I know it's difficult but try to be patient and not worry so much.

I so agree with this. No food is off limits. Sometimes a big bowl of ice cream is just what I want to eat. Not going to do it every day but some days I am.

Fantastic!!!!

Mission accomplished!!

Well done!!

Multigrain Cheerios mixed with whatever flavor of yogurt I'm in the mood for.

Wow.....just wow!!!! Thank you for sharing. I am inspired.

Way to go!!

religion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My mom died two days after Valentines Day. I want to eat everything in sight and then some to comfort myself. Not going to do it because I know I will only feel worse. Just get through it one day at a time. Food is not the answer.

I donate my too big clothes to Savers which in turn gives me a 20% off coupon. I buy a bunch of new to me stuff and start the process all over again. I am at my goal so don't think I will get much smaller.

I am at goal and you have no idea how much you have made my day!!!! Woohoo to you.

Go you!!!!

86 pounds in about a year. Half of that before joining MFP . It's been a much smoother ride since joining MFP.

Wow.......just wow!!

Windchill advisory/warning here in Minnesota. Governor has canceled all schools tomorrow. In this dangerous cold, frostbite occurs in five minutes or less. Gonna assume this advisory includes me and hit the treadmill. Be safe and keep warm.

Even small grocery stores will usually order what customers request. Frozen and canned vegetables can be just as good as fresh. In spring and summer the farmers market has a wonderful selection of fresh produce. Find an exercise you love (or at least tolerate) be it walking, running, zumba, yoga, lifting and stick to it.…

I walk 75 minutes ( 5 miles ) five or six days a week. It has worked for me. I have lost nearly 80 pounds with calorie deficit and walking. I love walking and walking loves me. No matter what anyone else says, find what works for you and stick with it.
