120 lbs down is amazing. Being able to acomplish that with all of the healh obstacles in the way is even more amazing. Great Job! Keep up the good work.

My toes & feet---everything else we won't talk about!

Absolutely amazing. I'm starting right at 200 lbs and would be absolutely excited to reach where you are now. You certainly give the rest of us struggling motivation! Great job! You must be so proud of yourself.

I have heard many others say not to pay a lot of attention to the sugars on here because it is ridiculously low. Like others posting here...I pay more attention to overall carbs than the actual sugar amount. You may want to even take that off of your daily tracking just so it doesn't irritate you so much!

This is an occasional problem with Applebees.....seems they go in and out on quality. Unfortunately, you may have to eat again to make up for the losses:explode:

The grilled chicken on the low-calorie menu is pretty good. The portion sizes are really good and you don't feel like you have eaten a ton.

You make a very good point.....noone can actually see the scales but you, however, they can see when you start shrinking down in size.

I have noticed just from various success story pictures that weight comes in all sizes and shapes. It doesn't make sense and we all focus so much on that magical number.....however, I see people that look much bigger than others but weigh less. I am having the same problem...I just can't seem to move the scales and have…

I noticed you just joined the site a year ago....so you lost all the weight in just a year? That's great motivation for the rest of us. It's great to see progress. Great job!

I agree! Medication can definitely work against the whole weight loss process.

I am having a real problem being motivated to workout.....believe me it gets a lot harder the more weight you put on. Over age 40 gets even harder. Stay determined to get a handle on it while its still manageable. I wish I had done so. However, the food part for me isn't quite so bad. I am filling most of my diet with…

____ Try the Special K Protein shakes. These are great for breakfast or snacks and will help with the hungry feeling. Increase protein snacks---they stay with you longer.

I'm also in your same boat....although I'm not working out like you are. I have cut my calories way back focusing mainly on protein keeping carbs to a minimal in my diet. I don't like food in general so this diet isn't too hard for me. However, I'm adding lbs instead of losing. I would be excited to see a drop in any…

I would love to offer some support....however, I'm having the same problem. I have been on a very low calorie diet for about 3 weeks now drinking mostly protein shakes and have actually upped the scale. I have been limiting the carbs and focusing on mostly protein. It's very depressing. However, I too am wondering what the…

This is one of the hardest parts about dieting and one of the main reasons so many people are overweight. Healthy foods are very expensive. I get my protein shakes in bulk at Sams Club (the only way I can afford those). Check Aldi grocery store if you have one in the area they have a "Fit & Active" brand that is lower in…

I'm sure you are really proud....and have every right to be. 100 lbs is absolutely amazing. GREAT JOB!

This post totally did not go the way I thought it was going to. From the topic title I thought sure you were jealous of some really really skinny person.....not the case at all!! You are actually jealous of someones really large bladder LOL!! Sometimes its the simple things that get us.

Find low calorie recipes to bake for yourself. While making the calorie packed goodies for everyone else, make yourself a healthier version. It's actually better if you cook your own food verses going out, so at least you have a good knowledge base of foods in general. I think the eating out process is what has gotten us…

I almost had a mental breakdown last week. My daughter's wedding was on June 9th. My goal (which of course I did not meet) was to be thin for her wedding. When I saw the pictures of me I was devastated to the point that I am going to try and survivie mostly on liquids only---protein shakes, etc. Honestly it seems to make…

I have the same problem. I have never had a large appetite which is part of the reason I started gaining weight. I have to force myself to eat enough. However, I think the exercise is the main key to any weight loss. That's the hardest part of it all. I lost 10 lbs. and have gained back about 8 of them because I burned out…

I have had several friends with family members that have suffered from severe depression. You are not alone---so many people are battling this same problem. The advice from everyone to get up and do something is definitely the best advice. Staying cooped up by yourself just feeds the problem. Being alone is the last thing…

10 lbs in two weeks is amazing!! If that continues, you will be thin in no time! It is hard when you have so many things to do---putting yourself at the top of the priority list is not always easy. Good Luck!

You have obviously been doing something right!! Amazing progress. 51lbs so far is wonderful. Keep up the good work.

EXCELLENT!! You look like a brand new person. Great motivation for all of us. Outstanding job.

Absolutely amazing!! To have lost this much in less than a year is truly motiviation for the rest of us.

First of all, whatever you are doing is working very well. Your weight loss is amazing. I started this program in May and have only dropped 10 lbs :(. I will have to admit I have gone thru a lazy time from August to now...trying to get back on track. I have found the Kettlebell workouts to be good for ab and core workout.…

This is a great place to keep up with your food and exercise. It does help to see what you are eating each day so you can control it before it goes in. After the first 2 or 3 months I have stopped logging in daily because I have a better idea. However, for days that I eat completely different or eat out I still log in to…

When I want something really bad for me, I look at the calories, then the actual item and stop and think....is this really worth the calories? Or is it worth the extra workout I'm gonna have to do to get rid of this. Although, if you really can't avoid the craving, eat the small fun size and adjust it somewhere else in…

Love muffins sounds much better than a muffin top.

So good to hear some feedback on this program. I have been debating on ordering it--however, I just purchased the Kettleworx program back in June and hate to keep forking out money on new products. (Kettleworx by the way is also a very good program). However, I did find The Firm has a new program coming out next week…
