oh my goodness not at all! on my down days those before and after pictures keep me going!

Agreed! This weight loss journey is a balance for what works for YOUR body. I stick to eating appropriate amounts of healthy foods while moving more! I exercise everyday...some people lose just as much, if not more than me only working out 3 days a week! So you have to find what you feel you are capable of sticking to both…

You should be SO proud of yourself! Don't be discouraged and keep on going...Seeing those pictures are truly motivational to me...thank you:) God bless

Watch your sodium intake, watch how much diet soda you're drinking...both of those can make you retain water. Are you eating enough clean foods? Veggies, fruits, healthy protein, healthy fats (almonds, avocado,) etc? Sometimes we're eating within our allotted caloric range however we're not eating the right types of…

I'm training for the Detroit marathon this fall and hoping to lose at least 20 pounds by October 16th. Good luck!:)

everyone keep up the great work!! we're half way done with the month!!

I recently went through a tough break up with my ex after 2.5 years together. First love, the whole nine yards...The first couple weeks are nothing short of devastating however through my faith, my family, and my friends I am able to stand on my own two feet 2 months later after the break up. No I'm not over him, yes I…

I'm hoping to lose another 6 and that would be a total of 10 pounds for the month of june! It's time to kick it into high gear!!

I'm here for you! Feel free to add me! My friends are slowly getting the picture that I'm not into the bar scene, do not want pizza, and have changed priorities...It'll take time, but in the meantime I'm so thankful for my MFP community! I look forward to hearing about everyone's successes and I'm fully committed to…

First off try see this "diet" as a lifestyle. You don't want to lose all your weight on a "diet" to just gain it all back once you hit your goal! Change your mindset to this being a lifestyle change :) High fat, high sugar, high sodium types of food is not good for us! I still get cravings for those types of foods...try to…

I try to give myself one day a week to indulgence on a snack, meal, or whatever but not go crazy on that day, you know? This keeps me not feeling deprived. We can all have pizza, nachos, chocolate, (insert your favorite indulgence here), but it's all in moderation! That way, should you have a weak moment, you don't deprive…

Oh my goodness, that is SO motivational!! You should be BEYOND proud of yourself! Keep up the amazing work!:)

Jackie thank you so much for adding me!:) I'm almost positive ska0814 on the spreadsheet was meant to be my name, which is SLA0814, L instead of a K:) I just wanted to let you know that way it'll be easier to add in my numbers going forward!!:) Again thank you for all your hard work, I appreciate it!!! God bless:) SLA0814…

Go to your local farmers market for fresh and cheap produce:)

Awesome job! You have to celebrate the little things to get through this journey! God bless:)

Great job! Keep up the amazing work! God bless:)

SW (June 1) - 189.8 lbs Week 1 (8) - 187.6 lbs Week 2 (15) - xxx lbs Week 3 (22) - xxx lbs Week 4 (29) - xxx lbs Total lost - 2.2 lbs So far so good! Hoping for a 10 lbs loss this month so I gotta push it into high gear!!:)

Thank you so much for all of your kind words! I'm so thankful for my MFP community and all your support! :)

Thank you all! In the past I've always turned to food in times of sadness...So it's definitely a growing process when times like tonight happen.

Honestly? Any plain meat like grilled chicken with a side of vegetables, or a salad minus all the fatty fixings with dressing on the side or steak with steamed veggies... Ordering out is harder than it was before because now (at least for me) every calorie counts for me to get to my goal. A salad that I thought was healthy…

So amazing!! Keep up the amazing work!!

I'm training for my first marathon this fall in Detroit, MI! I'm super excited!:)

I'm on week 6 of my healthy lifestyle and it's just starting to feel normal! With each day that passes, the stronger and more confident I'm feeling in this new lifestyle! Don't get me wrong, I still have tough moments and times where I indulge a little more than I should...however, because I'm putting in the work the…

Okay, so it wasn't the best day...It is in the PAST...Don't think about what you did, or what you didn't do. Today is a new day! Add 10 more minutes to each workout this week! Indulging one day is okay...indulging everyday of the week probably isn't a good idea. No worries, upward and onward for you!:) God bless
