This is such a messy thread. yikes

Oh my gosh. Congrats!!!!

I'm in my late 20's but as far as I'm concerned I'm going to tell people i'm in my twenties well into my thirties haha.

I don't want to sound preachy. But I have found that if I lose weight for myself I could care less what other people think. I feel like you shouldn't wait or rely on people to dictate how you feel or your motivation.If you've lost the weight than that should be good enough.

Also not to but in but don't let your loneliness drive you to settle for some guy who shows you interest. Whatever size you are you are a valuable women and deserve someone who respects you.

I know alot of curvier or heavy girls who get men with no problem. In fact alot of my male friends including me date fuller women. I think the thing to remember is that everything you lose isn't a loss. If things didn't work out than that means you saved yourself alot of heartache. Skinny or heavy people do alot of dating.…

It doesn't matter is sugar is addictive or not. It still doesn't change the fact that people enjoy having it. I learned to have it in smaller quantities and I tend to enjoy it more that way. So for example I will have some chocolate here and there and I enjoy better than I did when I just ate recklessly. Also I try to eat…

I drink maybe 2 to 3 cups. I feel like it has no barring on my weight loss. That whole myth of drinking water until your urine is clear is BS. Atleast for me it is. I can't account for anyone else.

I have asthma as well and stopped dairy for a bit. Idk if it had much effect for me. I know Tofutti makes sourcream and creamcheese which are both really good. They also make dairy free cheese which is great. Goodluck

My health coach told me 3 months ago. "If you don't feel good about yourself now, you don't feel good about yourself when you lose weight". I was 365 plus and now I'm 303 and still losing. I had self confidence at 365 and still have it now. I'm happy I'm getting healthy for myself. I can look back at old pictures and say…

I have said this before. But sometimes people will put you down (even family) because they can't do what you are doing. I have had people make suggestions about what I'm eating or tell me you are on that "crazy" diet and it won't work very long. The problem isn't with you, its with them. If something is working for you…

I can understand. I am down 43 pounds and while I wear smaller clothes I still have a ways to go. The thing I try to remember is I don't look the way I did several months ago. I know i don't look the way I want but I thank God I don't look the way I did.

I've also gone on binges for several days in the past and usually if I go one day I have to get back on track the next. If I don't. i will keep binge eating day after day. Its hard bro.

I realize that if I have a small amount of it I'm good. I tried to do the have nothing in your house so you won't eat it. Reality is I have a car and cash for me to get what I want. So for example I just bought some Coffee Greek Yoghurt and I also have some dark chocolate with sea salt and dark chocolate with coffee. I had…

I realize that sometimes people will try to discourage you from doing something because they can't do it themselves. You know your body and what you have done through. Do what you need to do for yourself and forget what people say. The same people who tell you not to lose weight will be the same ones who say that you…

I know when i first started I realized my judgement on portion sizes were completely wrong. I bought a scale and I was floored to realize that the amount of meat and snacks I thought i was having were 2 or three times greater. My scale really helped me understand that I was eating way too much or atleast underestimating…

Sometimes mine freezes when I'm entering in a long list of ingredients but than I think to myself. This app is free and its changing my life so I just restart and keep it moving haha,

I just made a Grilled Porabella Mushroom Greek Wrap: Grilled Portabella Mushrooms Spinach Roasted Red Pepper Balsamic Vinagrette Feta Cheese 100 Calorie Low carb wrap Oh my gosh. So good.

I've made a Cajun Chicken Pasta using Greek Yoghurt instead of cream and it was off the charts seriously!

Roasted Brussel sprouts with EVOO, Garlic Powder, and Parmesan Cheese. Mama mia! so good

Its weight because I lost 43 pounds and I'm down one size. I figure since I'm still losing I am going to buy some cheap clothes and once I hit my goal I can go completely nuts.

I know its hard but start small. Maybe you should start just logging whatever food you eat. Even if its junk food. Thats how started. Also at first just try to stay under your calories. You may also want to get to the root of why you over eat. For me I overate because I was board, or I was upset, or lonely. I started some…

I don't log the drink packets. Usually I am so far under my calorie defecit that even if I had 10 it wouldn't make a different. Garlic poweder and some spices I log. Things that I know have carbs or salt I try to log so my numbers are accurate.

When I first started losing weight I ate a bunch of fruit 7-8 pieces a day and limited my fat and calories. I lost weight and than I switched to low carb and lost a bit more. I am off of low carb and now that I am back to eating fruit and honey (sugar) or sugar in other foods in small quantities I am still losing weight. I…

A Low Carb Greek Wrap with Roasted Red Peppers, Spinach, Feta Cheese and Balsamic Vinagrette

Also I wanted to add that if you start taking certain things out of your diet or you go over your limit DONT STOP. I have had so many days where I haven't been on track but got on track the next day. You have the power and it will take some time but you can do it.

You can lose the weight trust me. This entire community has been so helpful with me losing weight. I was at 360 and rising and I'm down to 303. So you can do it. It was not easy but you can do it I know it. It doesn't matter how you got here its where you go from today. I would suggest tracking what you eat first. Even if…

Oh that sounds delicious! I may have to try that!

Thanks everyone for the adds! I'm going through to add more friends as well Thank you!

I actually take those no sugar drink packets and use my ninja blender and add ice and water and they make a great slush.Also I like to mix sugar free orange jello with cool whip and freeze and its pretty tasty!
