When someone congratulates me on my weight loss I feel both proud and embarrassed. Embarrassed because I had let myself get so big. Proud because I'm sticking with it. :blushing:

Awesome post!!! I have gone through this too! :happy:

When I started strength training I gained. For me it leveled out and I had a great loss and then losing ever since. The one thing I know I have to be careful with is portions. Make sure you are weighing and measuring. When I have a gain it's usually because I go lazy with my portions. Just a thought!

I got ready to go out on a walk and my shorts made it down the stairs before I did. :blushing: Thank goodness I hadn't left the house yet.

85 lbs down:flowerforyou: ***Sorry I can never get the size right :embarassed: ****

I'm addicted to the scale too! I weigh a minimum of 3xs a day. I have been tracking my weight daily for over a year. :blushing:

You look great!!! It can get discouraging at times but that is when you are being tested. Remember how far you have come and not how far you want to go! Congratulations on a wonderful achievement!:flowerforyou:

I confess that I have to do at least one shot of tequila before having a brazilian wax. :drinker:

I lose in spurts as well. One month I'll lose really well and then the next month I'll be lucky to lose 1 lb. It's frustrating I still have 50-60 lbs to lose you would think it would be easier. :happy:

My "bat wings" . I hate that when I stop waving my arm keeps going.

Good luck! I am signing up for Yoga classes at work 1 day a week for 5 weeks just to get a feeling for it. I'm scared out of my mind :ohwell: This is in addition to taking Kick boxing 3 days a week.

I think the biggest thing for me that helped me change my mind set is realizing that every diet I have been on had ended and when it did I ended up gaining back all of the weight plus. I got tired of having a slip on the diet and feeling like I failed so why bother. It's taken over a year to lose 70 lbs and believe me I…

Congratulations on hitting your goal! Also great attitude.. My weight loss is taking longer than I planned as well. But this time it is a life style change and not a diet. Keep up the good work!

Compression Pants are awesome!!! You can get them at Target, Kohls, just about anywhere.

Whenever I have a really good work out I seem to retain water. It can stick around for a week but it will balance out. You'll lose the water weight and the weight from your food deficit. Hang in there! :flowerforyou:

Try to remember one bad day is not a reason to quit. You are human and you aren't going to be perfect all of the time. :flowerforyou:

I agree, addicting! And perfect for the OCD control freaks like me!

Gargle with warm salt water. Not just one time but repeat, I generally use a whole coffee mug full. I also take a decongestant to help stop the drainage.

Love mine!! Money well spent!

I hated feeling like I didn't fit in my skin. It's bad when you feel as if your pants are too tight but once you start feeling like your skin is getting too small.. Fat sex sucks I wanted to feel pride in myself again I was tired of feeling sick and tired.

You look fantastic!!! :flowerforyou:

Thank you

It is the best purchase I have made!!!! I also purchased the FitBit Aria scale.

For me it evened out after a month. Good luck! :flowerforyou:

I have both the Fitbit and the Fitbit Aria Scale. I love them both!!!!!! :heart:

You are such an inspiration!!!!!! Thank you!!!

That is actually my next goal. :flowerforyou:

I love my fitbit!! :heart:

Thanks for the link... I am what I always thought I was a Pear Shape. Height 5'3" Bust 36 Waist 37 Hips 46 In the last two months I've lost 2 inches off my waist and 1 off my hips... I have always wanted to be the girl who had a gap between her thighs when she stood up straight. But instead I am the girl who can't wear…
