I spent most of yesterday prepping quick, healthy meals for the month. Rather than feeling like I wasted my entire day, I'm really glad that I did it and feel really ahead of the game. Part of my daily commute is a walk to the train station that normally is about 25 minutes. This morning, my boyfriend and I were about…

I put on old yoga pants and a tank top that I bought in February to clean yesterday. The pants kept falling down and the tank top was so big that my sports bra was showing. It was one of the first real moments where I've realized that I actually am quite a bit smaller now.

That even when you let yourself get the unhealthy side of potato chips over fruit, you realize 3 chips in that you just don't want anymore.

Thanks!! :smile:

I haven't been able to do my normal workout routine, since most of my equipment is still packed in boxes from my recent move. But I have made sure to get my steps in everyday with my FitBit to make up for it. Before I wouldn't have even cared and just flopped on the couch with junk food and a movie! I also just checked out…

I'm in the middle of moving and I haven't binged once! We have been eating far less than stellar and subsisting mostly on take out and diner food. I have been getting my steps in all this week. Yesterday I took my measurements and I lost a few inches and have broken through the weight plateau I was on!! So my NSV is that…

Fantastic job!

This. The things that I now have once in a while (usually once a month if that) compared to weekly (sometimes daily): - soda - potato chips - candy bars - fast food/take out (thank you meal prep!) - alcohol (this one surprised me the most, but I miss it the least) - anything fried (I actually prefer most things baked) -…

Hello! :) You've taken a huge step in the right direction by starting! Feel free to add me for motivation and support

Truth! :)

Hello! I'm 25 and down 30 lbs. I'm hoping to lose another 30-40. Feel free to add me :)

Amazing job!

Great job! You look fabulous!

I've noticed this recently! My desk chair is actually higher too! I guess since there is now less to weigh it down.

I know it's really disappointing! I've tried everything imaginable to continue wearing them - belts, tucking it in, etc. Nothing worked!

Aww! Unfortunately I've had to do that too, but it was for the opposite reason. :(

Congratulations! I hit 199.2 this morning and am going to be working my butt off to make sure that the scale doesn't float back up to 200 :)

Congratulations! Your hard work is paying off! You look fabulous! :)

I'm in the same boat as you ladies! Just squeezed into a pair of size 14 jeans and was able to zip them up! I'm hoping to be able to replace them for the holidays :)

hahaha! Over the weekend, I found that I had one more left in my closet and it definitely went on my donate pile!

These are the type that I meant: Crossover Wrap Blouse They all make my stomach and hips look a lot bigger now and do nothing for my new curves.

This is great! Congratulations! Im in the middle of my second purge right now!

Yes! Those too! Luckily I've grabbed enough of those and been disappointed that at least I've kind of stopped gravitating towards them. hahaha

You've already made the biggest step in realizing that you need to change. There is a lot of really great advice here. You've just got to find what works for you. My biggest piece of advice (and the thing that made me realize that I can stick with this for the rest of my life) is be sure to do this in small changes. Trying…

I just realized this this morning as I walking and managed to snag a hole in my jeans on a fire hydrant!

Absolutely!! Glad that I'm not alone! They all make me look like a box now! The worst is the peplum blouses that I thought made me look really "slim" before!

I'm right with you! A single glass of wine with a large dinner out last night and I felt tipsy the entire night! I used to be the girl that would Jack and Cokes all night long!

I was so sore yesterday after my workout on Wednesday that I was going to skip my workout yesterday. Even went as far as having a glass of wine with dinner! I was about to change for bed when I thought screw it and threw on my sweats and worked out anyway. I'm extra sore today and feel like I'm walking like a duck, but it…

He knows. Just last weekend, I woke up and weighed myself while he was still sleeping. Upon seeing that I was .6 lb less than what he weighs, I promptly ran back into the bedroom and woke him up just to tell him that I now weigh less than him for the first time in the 6 years we've been together. I also later apologized…

Last night I had a friend ask if I wanted to join a beginner ballet class with her. This is a NSV for a few different reasons. 1) She actually thinks that I can do it and wants me to take it with her. 2) Despite losing 30 pounds, and nearly as many inches if not more, I am by no means built like a ballerina, but I still…
