Id love to loose 100+, but taking baby steps! Welcome to the journey, give yourself some smaller goals, that will help you with the big -100 along the way! Good luck :)

Where do you find the coconut flakes?

This was the most SIMPLE recipe ever, mind you, in the past, I made peach cobblers with TONS of butter, sugar, brown sugar, and then more butter, with sugar on top of sugar. I bet my old school cobblers had to be at LEAST 1000 calories for a half cup, lol

Not eating after a certain time (8pm for me) Letting your stomach rest Eating light meals before heavier ones

Grilled cabbage \0/

Welcome Debra, this is a great step and I know you will have great success!

Right now Im at a phase where I am loosing inches, but no pounds. So for the month of April, I want to loose my previous months inches of -12 + -3 for a total of -15 inches (in 6 different areas total)

Any updates on how you have adjusted your daily calorie intake?? Im just wondering...

Congrats on the adorable baby!!! And congrats on making this change NOW instead of waiting til they are 18+ like myself, to start, lol

There are many different opinions on this. Set a reasonable goal for you, based on your schedule and what will keep you from cheating yourself. I personally dont eat meals after 7pm and no snacking after 8. Give your belly plenty of time to rest! Do what works for you, build a system for yourself.

Very Very VERY motivating, thanks for sharing your journey!

I agree, it may sound minimal, but its a BIG deal, keep it up and stay on task. You got this!

Looks great, big difference, so far!

Yessss, Winning! Do it again!!

Soooooo glad spring is here, the cold months hurt my progress, but with longer days and pretty weather, Im convinced, this will be a good season for my goals!

Everytime I see some crazy advertising, speaking on having the answers, I just instantly roll my eyes. They not fooling me, I been through the fire and still in it!

I dare NOT weigh in the week before or the week after. So my time table to weight in for the month is very limited.

Wow, you look amazing! Great job and keep up the great work!

I personally eat most of my calories earlier in the day, especially during the lunch hours, and if I get too close, I know how much I need to burn off, or at least have the day to burn it off. In the evening, you want your stomach to start slowing down a bit, so that is a bit counter productive to save soo many for the end…

Yes, it's gratifying and annoying all at once! Lol Thanks for all of the encouraging (and negative) feedback!

Thanks to those who relate, and others for your input. Yes, P00ki3, it's hard to join challenges. Those seem to be incentives for me.

True :) But sites like this and other measures are motivated by pounds. So I didn't know if this is a phase or am I doing the wrong type of fitness. Will the next 11 inches mean no pounds lost? just asking.... I am very grateful for the inches I gave lost.

A huge inspiration!

I have bad knees as well, I'm not able to do aquatics at the time, but I modify everything when possible and I still get a good workout in.

Wow, how motivating, thank you for sharing!

90% of the journey is through food, so yes, you can do this!

You have a lot of time to make some major body changes. And for him to be away, that is motivating, and will help keep you on track. 6 months can move by fast, so get going!! <3

Very inspiring :)

Awesome, please keep it up!

It all counts, keep it up!!
