congrats! keep up the great work! thanks for sharing your story!

yup - my goal was 50 lbs and then keep it off for 50 weeks before I turn 50... (I like when numbers match)... I hit the 50 - and see that I'm only 10 lbs away from being in the "healthy" range for my height - so I'm going to try for another 10...

Please share your tricks!

I have read that it can take 6 weeks to break through a plateau... Be patient... Adjust your numbers as suggested here... Don't give up... I got stuck at 30... And almost 6 weeks later scale started moving again...

Everything in moderation... Although I have cut out a lot of unnecessary crap including diet coke and a lot of processed stuff, and am staying away from gluten when possible for what it does to my stomach... But I don't believe in cheat days or cheat meals... If it is something I really want I make it fit! This is a…

Fsunami I really like your approach... I log every day and try to be as supportive as time allows... Feel free to add me!

congrats! and thanks for sharing... truly inspirational!

Tried it and it did nasty stuff to my tummy

at 6:30 before aquafit I had my homemade banana nut chocolate muffins... recipe here: http://paleomg.com/banana-nut-chocolate-chip-muffins/ 3 cups of water by the time 8:30 rolled around... then at 8:45 my second breakfast time when I do aquafit in the morning - I had my morning smoothie - today with frozen spinach,…

don't see the point of doing it if it's not complete...

you can totally stop - if you want to! tell yourself whatever you need to but just stay away from it... I like to tell myself - that's going to make me sick, die of cancer, diabetes or some other fun disease. Honestly it's easy because most things with Carbs give me major tummy issues - you can tell yourself that.…

11 lbs in 11 days... It slowed a lot after that... Don't quit when it does!

Update... Made it to 175 and bought my first size 10 pants!!!

I have had people tell me I have lost enough... That was 25 lbs ago... Only you know and can control when u want to stop...

Montreal, Quebec - add me!

There are so many possibilities! For protein I use kaizen whey powder of PB2 or PB2 chocolate or Greek yogurt... Liquids either water, unsweetened almond or coconut milk or no sugar added Danone drinkable yogurt. I never use ice, waste of space... I always freeze my greens... Kale spinach romaine of Swiss chard, cucumber,…

feel free to add me

feel free to add me. There are many posts like this - go check them out and add people who seem to be willing to help support and motivate... that's how I found alot of my friends...

I made pulled chicken in the crockpot (think pulled pork but with chicken breasts instead). I will have it on a salad - hubby will probably have it on bread... or maybe with some cauliflower and broccoli if I don't want salad again...

everyone is different - the scale doesn't stress me - and when I see little losses it makes me very happy. I weigh myself every morning - and usually at night too - interesting to see how I can go up 3 to 5 lbs after a day of eating and drinking 14 glasses of water... Usually next day most of it is gone... I have noticed…

congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

good job!

nuts (cashews or almonds or pistachio or sunflower seeds) - or cheese - or dark chocolate - or 100 calorie oreo or chips ahoy packs... brookside dark chocolate 90 calorie packs... raw veggies... but if I could choose just one it would be dark chocolate...

I officially have 3 "meals" a day - but also snack in between - so my 1,400 calories are more or less broken down approximately to: Breakfast - 300 snack - 150 lunch - 350 snack - 150 dinner - 350 snack after dinner - 100 Plus whatever exercise - I eat those back too... I find it works for me - having bigger meals leaves…
