I've lost over 60 lbs. I have a little loose skin on my arms and stomach. That's pretty much it though. I lost it super slow and I worked out like crazy. I don't know if that helped or not. I don't like it, but I'm glad it's not worse. Also I want to encourage you that the benefits of healthy weight loss far outweigh the…

Congrats! Wishing you a happy new year!

I get bloated after eating stuff like that but then I am sensitive to gluten and have other issues that go along with that. I have to be careful with the processed foods too. A person's body is an amazing thing and each person has to find out what is best for them. Good luck to you on your fitness journey.

I have trouble with cravings and if I even get started on chocolate I will eat my way through bags and bars and pounds of it! Yikes! That's me though. Anyway for snacks I try to have a small snack with both carbs and protein. It's what both my doctor and trainer recommended and when I stick to my meal/snack schedule I do…

You can add me. I have worked very hard and made huge progress but I still fall down. My posts are very honest and if I've fallen I say so. It's the good thing about having accountability with this family. Feel free to add me if you wish. ☺

Great job! Keep it up!!

I've been lifting for two years. I'm not NEARLY where I want to be yet but I've come a long way. I work with a personal trainer and lift 3-5 times a week average. I love it and it has changed my life. I'm not stopping yet. Good luck to you.

Yes! It is possible. I have had to work very hard and I've had plenty of set backs. But over time I have lost. Good luck to you!

It definitely is possible. I takes a lot of hard work but it can be done!! I've lost 73 lbs now and am definitely keeping going! Stick with it, work hard and you will reach your goals!! Good luck to you!!

There are a lot of fad diets out there and I've tried some of them which didn't work. For me, it's putting in the hard work of exercising and eating a balanced healthy diet. It takes hard work but it can be done. I have fought very hard for the 70 lbs I've lost and it hasn't been easy. But if you are willing to put in the…

I have battled for years with depression and anxiety. It is not easy to lose weight when struggling with that. I understand the issue with binge eating. I really struggled with that and still do some days. It takes a lot of hard work, but I'm here to say that it can be done. I've lost 70 lbs but with much sweat and tears…

I also have PCOS. It's hard to lose weight on it but after much effort and time, I've lost 70 lbs. It's possible, you just have to work really hard. My PCOS symptoms are almost gone. Part of that is due I think to going gluten free, although I did that because of medical reasons, not to lose weight. But consistent, regular…

Losing weight the right way is rarely easy. It takes a lot of hard work and determination. Eating at a healthy deficit, drinking lots of water, and working out will give you your best results. You have to be willing to put in the hard work in order to have lasting success.

I agree that it can be done even on medications with a side effect of weight gain. Like was said above, it increases your appetite, but you still have control over the food you put in your mouth and how much you work out. It can be hard as hell! Trust me, I know. I'm on three psychiatric meds plus have a medical condition…

Feel free to friend me. Just for the record, a fitness journey can be HARD but it can be done! Good luck!

I work out early in the morning so what I do is about an hour before I hit the gym, I eat a small meal with protein and carbs. About half an hour before I work out, I start drinking a serving of Essential Amino Energy. I really like this as it helps fuel my workout, but I don't get a bad crash. It seems to give me a good…
