Thank you everyone! :smile:

bump, got picture attached finally.

Just to clear it up when I say "clean eating" that's my way of saying I eat mostly unprocessed/unpackaged/fresh food. I know there's lots of definitions, but that's mine LOL.

which is ridiculous.. since trend diets are typically more time consuming/expensive lol.

You look so great! The difference in your face is crazy.

Too big of an age difference, so no.

GIRL you look fantastic! Seriously rocking that dress. Amazing story, reminded me of my first shopping ventures when I really started losing. It really is a fantastic feeling and just makes you so proud of yourself (which you should be). Just imagine the dresses you'll be in a few months down the line! You're doing great,…

One protein shake can get you halfway to your daily goal. Or make a protein smoothie. Plain greek yogurt, some ice, some protein powder, a little bit of milk or almond milk (add in fruit or nut butter to taste) and bam. Protein heaven.

At your height, 2000+ calories will not be maintaining. You'll gain. Stick as close to 1200 as you can, vegetables, fruit, and work out. Watch your sodium. Try to keep it under 2000mgs. At least 8 glasses of water a day. The weight will start coming off, scouts honor.

Unsweetened vanilla almond milk. SO good.

I go waaay over my sugars everyday and I've lost 57lbs. As long as your sweets are not the majority of your sugar intake you're fine. Mine mostly comes from fruit so I don't worry about it.

Take a sweet potato, slice it thin, toss in some EVOO and whatever spices you like, and bake 'em till they're crispy. :) It'll satisfy your craving!

I don't know what it is, but trust me- it won't work long term. Healthy lifestyle is the only way to go.

You're just retaining water weight, it's highly unlikely you actually gained even a pound of real fat in a week. So don't worry too much. The best thing you can do is just try to focus on upping your vegetables/fruit servings throughout the day, making sure you're sticking to whole grains, keeping the sodium to a manumit,…

don't swing that way, no.

You look awesome! I've been taking them for awhile now, so helpful!

No pic, no date. haha

Amazing prog!

Thank you! My arms were the last to lose, it's been horrible getting them to be proportionate haha. Try and do as much strength training as you can! It really helps.

Oddly enough I went from a ring size 9 to a 6. Wasn't expecting that, but definitely not complaining!

Thank you guys :)

I'm 5'5''. I went from 200lbs to 143.3 this morning. :)

Well, there's a few. -I get hit on by much more attractive people. -I get a lot more creepers. -I no longer freak out when people try to take my picture. -I get excited over vegetables (yes. excited. I love my veggies) -I love to cook now. -I no longer hate hot weather. those were more or less what I wasn't expecting/I'm…

Thank you too!

I've gotten a ton of "woah.. you got hot" I never know how to react to that one LOL.

woah, you look incredible!

thank you!

You look fantastic :) awesome job!

Wow- seriously fantastic progress!

That is so exciting!
