Hoping to post my progress photos in this thread soon!

I weight about 3 days a week - first thing in the morning. Always on Sunday because it's my rest day and my muscles are hopefully letting go of the water retention from my lifting sessions

I don't really do a cheat day - I'll have what I consider a cheat meal that still falls close to my calorie count. I usually do a cheat meal twice a week (i.e. a breakfast indulgence or pizza dinner :smiley: ) I know myself - a cheat day would lead to a cheat week and then I'd be starting over again. Part of this new…

Ghirardelli deliciousness at Disney Springs!

I just reached my first goal weight of 145 lbs (15 lbs lost). My mini goal is to reach 138 lbs - the weight I was when I met my fiancé 4.5 years ago :)

Today is just over 3 months from the start of my healthy journey! The left is October 13, 2019. I was 160.2 lbs. The right is today, January 18, 2020, and I'm 146.8 lbs. I'm 5'4" and my ultimate goal weight is 115-120 lbs. Looking in the mirror - I don't think I look too different, but progress photos really show the truth!

I love a good iced caramel coffee with cream & sugar from dunkin donuts. Almost addicted. And then my cardiologist said no more caffeine 😕 But then my fiancé got us a Keurig for Christmas.... with decaf pods😊 I don't add sugar or any sugar substitutes. I measure the exact serving size for the creamer and measure the…

I've been on the same birth control (pill) for 11 years now. I haven't had any problems losing weight because of it. I have to measure/weigh/count every last calorie I eat to see the scale numbers go down. I eat well for the most part - but I can hinder my own results by telling myself that a little piece of candy, cookie,…

I second Forks Over Knives and Pinterest - there's a lot of good stuff there :) Also, The China Study Cookbook. It's by the daughter of T. Colin Campbell (who you might recognize from the Forks Over Knives movie)

We get unsweetened vanilla almond milk (Silk or Blue Diamond). My fiancé uses it for protein shakes and cereal. Depending what recipe I make, I use that or unsweet vanilla soy

No, but there is a phone app that can scan a product's barcode and tell you if it is vegan. Sadly, I can't remember the name of the app. When it comes to reading ingredient lists for items you'll buy - some products will have a "certified vegan" seal on them.

My fiancé and I buy unsweetened vanilla almond milk. He likes the taste and it's an easy replacement in recipes that require milk (or I'll get unsweetened regular soy for certain recipes). The vanilla is subtle. I became lactose intolerant at 21 to milk. So unless I feel like running to a restroom - no milk.

I'm 4.6 lbs shy of hitting my first goal weight of 145 lbs which would be a 15 lb loss so far. Hope to be there by mid January! (accounting for a little christmas treat gain)

I've only lost the first 7 lbs of my journey since starting 8 weeks ago (40lbs to lose). My mom asked how much I lost because I already looked less bloated to her. It was a good thing to hear. I know the journey takes time and results can be slow to show - but sometimes I just want those results a little quicker :D

Feel beautiful and confident in my wedding dress. One year away to get there

I've found Ripple to be the best so far. They have powders and pre-made bottles if you need something quick to just grab. Bob's Red Mill is also good to me.

Began seriously lifting heavy at end of December. Looking forward to when I can post pictures :)

bump! for the amazing inspiration of all of you :)

I'm 5'4" and began at 145 lbs. I dropped down to 131 lbs but gained back some. I'm at 136 lbs right now. However, the entire time, my body fat percent stayed about the same. I look small at 138 lbs but have a higher body fat %, mostly all in my stomach (looks like a classic gut). I wear a size 6 jeans, medium tops, and…

bump! Congrats, ladies! On my way to joining the club :)

Currently 146 lbs at 5'4" hoping to get to 125 lbs. If I don't reach a weight goal - I would settle for a slim figure with muscle at ~135 lbs

really inspirational! I need to get my bootie in gear to look as good as all of youuuuu :)

My beagle - Belle :)

bump :) preparing for my 21st birthday!

I'm 15 days away from 21 years old and I'm looking to lose 15 more lbs or just lowering my body fat %. feel free to add me :)

Buy cute/fashionable clothes :) No more running shorts/t-shirts to hide my tummy
