Oh, and a free make over at the cosmetic counter that will surely boost you to keep losing weight and look good :)

movies, small accessories, spa, manicure, pedicure, facials, body massage, a new book, lots of "feel good" rewards that are not expensive or food related.

Can you up your activity/exercise earlier in the day? If not, just have fun and work extra hard the days after. That should get you back on track.

No real loss in my first 4 weeks. Then suddenly the scale moved 5 lbs less in 5th week.

Logging my calories keeps me accountable. That's how I lost some of my weight. I tried all diets, pills and programs out there. This is the only one that worked for me. Maybe some people are more disciplined and don't need to keep track, but I'd rather not go over my limit. I never want to go back to being heavy.

Hello! Canuck from Lower Mainland, BC. Feel free to add me for encouragement and support. We're in this together!

To wear a size small again !!!!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

I will repeat what 2 other people have said - "...ONLY IF YOU EAT LESS THAN YOU BURN". Some people go gluten free or vegan but do not cut down on their calorie intake and thus do not lose weight.

Thank you for this post to remind me to count my blessings!: 1. went 2 dress sizes down 2. Less congestion and allergies and joint pain 3. More control over what I eat!

This only happens to me if I overeat on the weekend, then I gain a lb or 2 come Monday/Tuesday. But the lbs go quickly once you get back into the routine.:)

Thanks for sharing your inspiring story! You look amazing.

Yeah, I get what you mean. I feel like that some days. Even when I look at my current pictures, I see a heavier me who needs to lose some more lbs. Thanks for this post, I need to learn to appreciate the small victories more.:)

Congratulations on your 3rd baby! From one mom to another: Maybe you should wait a bit - maybe a few months since you are nursing before worrying about losing more weight. It'll come, Just eat healthy and be as active as you can for now.

Maybe eat more veggies and protein and less fruits and carbs. Tweak your diet a little and see what works for you. Also mix up your exercise plan. See if that helps. Good luck!

Thank you for your inspiring story!!!

Yes, I am also very thankful fro this site! I am short (5'2") and at my heaviest (142lbs), and I just couldn't lose the lbs until my son signed me up for this site last September. Since then I've lost 22 lbs and hoping to lose the last 5 lbs. This site is a life changer. Thank you to the MFP community and esp to the people…

HI We have same height, CW and GW! Yes, I am finding that the last 5lbs are clinging ever so tightly to me.:) Feel free to add me if you are in need of support and can give it back!

I drink Fitsmart Fiber35 - Vanilla and Chocolate flavors. lots of protein, fiber and vitamins, not much carb and sugar. Availbale on iherb and vitacost.com. reasonably priced. I alternate these every few days with a vegan protein mix as well.

I drink Fitsmart Fiber35 shakes - Vanilla and Protein. Loads of protein, fiber and minerals, low in sugar and carbs. available on iHerb and vitacost.com

A few times, but if it was under my TDEE, I don't worry just start over the next day. If it over my TDEE I make up for it the day and eat a lot less.

I eat what I want except in controlled quantities. I love chocolate so I find products that satisfy my choco craving but with much less sugar,, carb, calories!

These are my go to breakfast choices: egg white scramble or omelette and toast protein shake (I alternate whey and vegan) and fruit PB2 and 1 toast and 1 fruit 1/2 cup cherrios and 1/2 cup skim milk and half serving of protein shake I average around 200-250 calories for breakfast, enough to keep me full until my…

I hear you. And not just work place but at other events/functions too! Friends' "get together's", church functions - all good events to go to but too many temptations! Maybe we can talk more and eat less. :wink:

I've deprived an avg american of pizza for a year!!!!

Be patient, and the scale and measuring tape will go in the right direction. Keep weighing and logging your food/drink and keep active. Your efforts will pay off, maybe not as fast as you want, but it will...
