Definitely give yourself small and easily achievable goals. I have lost 105 lbs in 1 years time (as of yesterday) and I never, EVER thought I would do that.. I didn't even THINK about 100 lost... I just aimed for 20 at a time and kept my eyes on the prize. Congrats on the losses and keep up the hard work!!!

this is me, after 100 lbs lost... I lost my hip/butt shelf lol - I went from 44" waist to now 30" and still shrinking. My hips were a 55" to now 41" http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/774694-down-100-lbs-with-pics

thanks for all the comments!:)

thank you!!!

too much sodium.. too many carbs in the form of refined starches... not enough protein.

I am a firm believer in Jay Robb Whey Protein, I like them blended with frozen fruit though and use almond or coconut milk (unsweetened) instead of dairy milk or water. ETA: Jay Robb is sweetened with stevia and the whey protein is from cows not treated with hormones - the 2 main reasons I like it. But it is pricey. I want…

Bumping to save. I have a great before and after but honestly am so horrified by my before than I need some courage to post it (eventually!!)

just speechles.... You are amazing!:flowerforyou:

I have learned to retrain my thinking and choices. For example, if I know a Blizzard is going to set me back a few days... why eat it? Is it really worth it to me? And I ask myself that. I prefer to use those calories (and possible temporary weight gain) on something I REALLY want, and higher quality. Like a special treat…

OMG I remember

My cat had the hooded typed with a door thing when he was little but he is part Maine Coon and is very large so it got too small for him. I then bought him one that is "partially hooded" as in, the front is open (not a door) and the top goes halfway... so he can jump out as he pleases. He likes his privacy so I turn it…

good to know, thanks !! *nice of the 30DS people to tell us (finally)

cooked in coconut oil: 2-3 whole eggs, pepperjack or cheddar cheese, topped with avocado or 100 cal pack guac and salsa or, green pepper, mushrooms and onions, sometimes with no nitrate ham

great work!!!:flowerforyou:

sounds delish and healthy and love the the rosemary skewer idea!

at night after work, and around TOM. The nighttime thing helps if you brush your teeth and use whitening strips.

Bumping to save this post! You are all great inspirations!:flowerforyou: I hope to be able to post mine soon as well... 13 lbs to go to 100 :bigsmile:

210 yesterday

a new use for coconut flour!!! thank you!

I would suggest reading the book "Wheat Belly". These statements you have made will then TOTALLY make sense.

thanks! :smile:

:heart: I am saving this for wedding vows ... my boyfriend fits all this criteria :heart:

bump for later and more pics.. I am interested in this!

bought some... but not a fan.

2-3 eggs cooked in coconut oil, 1oz cheddar or pepperjack cheese, 100 cal guacamole pack or 1/2 small avocado & salsa

I cannot stand when people use their hands to touch food.. or use their fingers (especially "shared" like a party, etc)... then lick their fingers... or take something from your plate and say "oh can I have this?" and by the time they start asking the question, they've already touched it.. so yeah, go ahead, have it! I…

and one more: "that's great, I hope you can keep it off!" thanks for the vote of confidence!!!:mad:

"You're getting too skinny... you don't need to lose anymore... do you want to be a skeleton?" (still technically "obese" per BMI for 1 more point - just carry my weight well!!) "Your face is getting so thin" (as if I lost all 85 lbs in my face) "Your belly went down alot" (oh, gee, thanks!)

Yes... I do often feel fat... still.

If you are "down to purging 2-4 times a day" the furthest thing from your mind should be getting pregnant and bringing a child into the world in your current condition. Please seek professional help, and if you are already, then continue with it.
