You look GREAT!!! I'm close to your current weight, with a LOT more to lose; you're such an inspiration! Keep it up! :smiley:

You look GREAT!! Keep it up honey!!!

I'm so glad to see your post!! I'm aiming for around the same; I've been there and below before...looking back at old photos, I think I looked way too thin and had dark circles around my eyes, lol. I agree when they say it's where YOU feel most comfortable (I've got big legs, hips and have always had a big butt-which I…

I'm back on the wagon, yet again...you're more than welcome to add me for support! :smile:

@Kalikel I definitely know it's my own fault for gaining this weight back; but at the time, that was how I dealt with the curve balls life was throwing me. Now that I've dealt with some, not even close to all, of those issues, I'm in a much better place now; a place where I'm ready to get healthy and live life! :)

Thanks so much @jdixon02! I will definitely try this!

@diannethegeek Thank you so much, these are all things to consider, especially weighing food and tightening up on logging; which, I can admit I may not log everything on a Saturday or Sunday (when we're out and about). But I will also look further into any medical conditions or maybe even some of my current medications…

Thanks so much for your post; I will definitely take all things you said into consideration. I really appreciate your input :)

I hadn't done the VLCD since 2009; it was just me wanting to go back to something that I know would give me fast results; but thanks for your input; I do appreciate it.

Definitely inspirational!! You look amazing!! This motivates me even more now; because I hope to be able to post a picture like this one day! :smiley:

Congratulations!!! You look great! Awesome progress!! :smile:

Same here! I had a baby at the end of 2013, started working out and watching what I ate and the weight just seemed to fall off...Whelp, life happened and I gained it all back and then some; and this time it's not coming off so easy (which is frustrating for me). But you can do it, we all can do it! Good luck on your…

Sounds like a plan to me!! I have a TON of weight to lose...AGAIN! Any support that I can get or give; I'm down! :smiley:

Same here! I've been down this road before; lost weight, just to gain it all back and then some. I'm starting this journey again and I am willing to give and, especially, receive support! Good luck on your journey and I will send you a request!

This is exactly what is happening to me! I'm really overweight and I would've thought that with the amount of weight that I have to lose that it would come off much faster. I typically go to the gym twice a day at least 3 days a week while working out at least five days a week; but my scale just seems to refuse to move. I…

My weight loss has been extremely slow as well. For the last few weeks I have been working out twice a day for at least 3 days a week, going consistently 5 days a week. I do cardio, light weights and take classes (at this point I'm not sure what to do any more). The last time I lost a lot of weight it didn't take me this…

Congratulations!!! Keep up the awesome work; you look GREAT!! ***thanks for being an inspiration as well***

You are doing a great job thus far! No need to beat yourself up about the weight gain, TRUST ME! I was doing such a good job about going to the gym, my eating; but then some difficult times arose in my life and I managed to gain all my weight back that I had lost and then some (a lot actually). so no need to worry about…

I run/walk right now. :) I'm doing the couch to 5k training program...or at least I'm trying, LOL. I like it because I don't consider myself a runner at all and it has helped me in the past. I'm doing about a 14 min/mile or so right now, but like you, I'm working more towards endurance. Check out the program, you may like…

LMBO!! This is SO me!! Social elephant (now, that's a good one!). But I have the same problem/issue, whatever you want to call it. It seems like whenever I get super excited, or get in a setting where there's good convo, good people, and good food...the good food is for sure, going in this mouth...and, most likely, a good…

I've been on and off the bandwagon time and time again! I'm and emotional eater as well and heck, I just LOVE food, I LOVE to eat!!! These past few days I have not been eating the best and, like you, I'm scared to death to get on the scale b/c I'm terrified of the number I'll see! I've been working so hard lately, and to…

We are both around the same height and, like you, I had the same weight expectations as well. I was expecting to be in the 180s around this time (but lemme tell you honey...NOT!!). But it's okay because I'm getting there. Our body types are a bit similar, as we are both curvy African American women, but my legs, thighs and…
