You get used to it eventually. I used to have a hard time forcing myself to drink just 8 ounces of water in a whole day, but now I'm up to 72-80 ounces per day, and have stopped being a diet Coke addict! Just keep the water bottle next to you all day and keep sipping!:drinker:

That is so fantastic! Recommendation - buy new clothes at a thrift shop, because before you know it, your "new" clothes will be too big as well, and you're going to end up going through several wardrobes! You are already looking fabulous, and you're going to be even more gorgeous as you continue! :flowerforyou:

Wow, thanks for sharing these! I love lettuce but love beans, too, and can't wait to try the first recipe!:flowerforyou:

Try to use more beans and less meat. Beans are really inexpensive if you use the dried varieties, and they're easy to cook, especially in a slow cooker. But if you buy canned beans, check the labels for sodium content. Some brands have lots more sodium than others. Same thing for canned tomatoes. Wish you the best!:smile:

So happy you're here! I'll send a friend request to your in-box.

You look incredible! Congratulations!

I try not to cheat. but some days I get really hungry so I'll just keep eating vegetables and fruits because they're not so high-calorie. But then, I had a lot of weight to lose to start with, and that keeps me motivated not to want to cheat!:smile:

Fellow vegan here. I love your attitude, yes you absolutely can do it! Look forward to seeing more posts from you, and will send you a friend request.:smile:

Forty pounds is an incredible weight loss! That's great work, and since you're changing your lifestyle, you'll continue to have success. Yes, unfortunately it is slower than we'd like, but the most important thing is that we're doing everything we can for our good health. Best wishes to you!:flowerforyou:

You've done a great job! Thank YOU for being an inspiration!:smile:

You are SO right! I know your grandfather loves you very much and what would make him happiest the most is for you and all his loved ones to take great care of their health! It's a beautiful tribute to him when you put your efforts toward that goal. Thanks for posting! :flowerforyou:

Congratulations on your weight loss as well as for running your second half-marathon! Impressive!:flowerforyou:

I only weigh in every two weeks so as not to get discouraged if the scale doesn't move after a single week. But I only record on MFP every 4 weeks. Good luck!:smile:

So glad you're back, and good job on 16 pounds lost!

I had a lot of anxiety for years too, but unlike you, I didn't go to see the doctor or weigh myself at home. You are already doing the right thing by checking in with your doctor. It will take time, but eventually it will be less traumatic, and you'll focus more on how good you're feeling by eating healthy and exercising.…

You've done a beautiful job! You look wonderful!:flowerforyou:
