  • Congratulations! Truly amazing job!
  • Your meals yesterday looked so yummy! I would try to track your sugar and sodium also. You may be going over some days which will affect water weight retention. :flowerforyou:
  • OP- what an inspiring post. Great idea. I do think that losing weight is such a psychological change that it makes you think you can do anything. Because I notice that I can make real changes when I have total and complete control over the situation i.e. my body. I would love love love to be CMO of one of my favorite…
  • I used to have this problem- big time. I still have days when I really really really want some crap. Fast food mmm. They key is to not think of anything as "off limits. Give yourself a quota- a target for nutrition each day. Mine is below. Veggies- 4-5 servings Lean Protein- 2-3 servings Fruit- max 2 servings Complex…
  • HA HA! My weight is def not hiding :laugh: I would say my thighs... And then I have very very thin layer that covers my abs. I have a completely flat stomach but my stupid abs are hidden! Grrrr :mad:
  • I use the projection as my goal every week. I try to have it match my goal 5 weeks away and so far it's either been dead on or slightly under the amount I've lost. The discrepancy is mostly because I claim to have a sedentary lifestyle because I have a desk job BUT I work out 5-6 days a week and WALK a bunch (I live in…
  • Congrats on your success! You've done an amazing job! True dedication man!
  • My body changes the fastest when I do a mix of cardio and strength training. Lift heavy! Think 8-10 reps max. You should be struggling on the last set of all of your exercises. I see results in about 2 weeks from starting a new program. Also- if you're going to eat back your exercise calories make sure you're eating mostly…
  • I took this picture as I was on the ground doing planks. This is what she does while I work out. :laugh: That *****...
  • amazing job!
  • Number 1 is my staple! Seriously everyday- about 2 servings. And I eat way more almonds than pistachios... those are just a bunch of work. :laugh:
  • CONGRATS! On beating cancer! And on losing the weight. Best of luck for your last fitness goal. You'll love the support on to this site. Stay motivated. Keep logging and reading the forums. Don't be afraid to chime in and ask questions and I'm sure you'll reach your goal! :flowerforyou:
  • So... I've been buying new cloths to fit for the last 4 years. On Friday I did a tally of how much I've spent and how many items I can't fit. I'm currently somewhere between a 12 and a 10. And almost all of my brand new clothes (yes, they still have tags) are sizes 4-8 (mostly 6's tho.) And the tally is... drum roll…
  • I want to take a very fancy photoshoot showing off my amazing body. Some risque photos, some classy, and some professional portraits. Hey I'm almost 25 and I'm about to be in the best shape of my life- I want to keep it up but I also want immortalize my success. SW: 198 CW: 170.4 GW: 133 Hoping to hit goal by December 2012…
  • This is your best answer. Regardless, as delicious as it is, you should NOT count it in your water count for the day. Try to count only pure water in your count for the day. I love tea and I'll have a diet soda about once a week but any drink w/ an artificial sweetener or diuretic doesn't really hydrate you. Just a word to…
  • That's amazing! Congrats on your success so far and best of luck to the next 100! :flowerforyou:
  • Try getting some of the salad BEFORE they put cheese on it. And maybe limit yourself to 1 piece of bread. For me the salad and bread is always the hardest thing to resist.
  • Congratulations! Thanks for sharing.:flowerforyou:
  • Great post. It illustrates the golden ticket- that to truly changing your relationship with food and your health- focusing on quality over quantity. I'm not quite there yet. There are some days that I eat super duper clean. And other days I eat sorta clean but really just try not to go over my calories. And I will admit- I…
  • Every single exercise machine has a better option you can do with free weights or your own body weight... imagine that. :wink:
  • Congrats on your progress! You've done an amazing job.
  • It's hard to give you any advice without looking at your diary. But I would guess 100% that this is due to diet NOT calorie consumption and NOT exercise. Staying under a certain calorie count is only half the battle of weight loss. Really it's more about the QUALITY of foods you're eating. I think you should ask yourself…
  • Great progress girl! You're doing something right :wink:
  • Be careful. You don't want to send your body into starvation mode. :laugh: :laugh: No worries- judging by your ticker you're super committed. I'm sure you'll get back on the horse tomorrow. :flowerforyou:
  • 6 months to EFFING AMAZING RESULTS! Wow! What an inspiration man. Truly Job well done!:happy:
  • I log every day and every morsel because it helps me stay accountable but I also add in a section in my "food notes" column that in my opinion is helping me understand long term healthy living. I give myself a grade for my exercise, diet, and discipline for the day then I tally my servings quotas in each category. For…
  • As much as I would love to pass judgement on this woman... I just don't have the time and energy to waste on other people. :noway: *goes back to googling healthy squash recipes*
  • Congrats on your weight loss so far! That's awesome! Keep your head up- these things happen. I took a quick look at your diary over the last week or so I would suggest a few things. 1.)** Try monitoring your sugar and sodium.** It looks like your over almost everyday. In the beginning of a weight loss journey it doesn't…
  • Congrats! You look like a totally different person and not just because of the hair color or weight change. You just look like you're glowing. Amazing job! So inspiring. Thanks for sharing.:flowerforyou:
  • Congratulations! Amazing job! :flowerforyou:
