  • SW: 140 lbs. March SW: 133 lbs. CW: 127 lbs. Yay! I've completed the March lose 5/+ lbs. challenge! o:)
  • Have you tried Fage total plain, 5%/the full fat version? It is so creamy, delicious in a cream cheese kind of way and very satisfying to me. I've tried the 0% version, and I like it, but once I went full-fat, I couldn't go back. B) Best wishes on your weight loss goals, and find what works for you and follow freely and…
  • I hear you say you've lost weight and are still losing and getting closer to your weight loss goals! Well, congratulations are in order then! Keep it up! B)
  • SW: 140 lbs March SW: 133 lbs. CW: 129 lbs. GW: 125 lbs. Keeping it going! :) P.S. I'll check in next weekend.
  • Mid-march update a day after my former mid-March update-- SW: 140 lbs. CW: 130 lbs. GW: 125 lbs. I'm getting closer to my goal, and in two days 2 lbs. came off suddenly, so I'm ecstatic. I'm feeling more energized than ever before, my clothes fit better, and it's so good to see the weight coming off as I exercise more…
  • Sam, take care of you--your happiness, your joy. And I know that life will test us in all that we do and all that we are with its many setbacks, but for the sake of love and with sheer will, we fight back harder. So you fight back harder in whatever it is. We're rooting for you!
  • I'm still in this thing. SW: 140 lbs. CW: 131 lbs. GW: 125 lbs. Keeping it going! :)
  • SW: 140 lbs. CW: 133 lbs. GW: 125 lbs. I'm working on losing 1 pound a week for March. It's coming off slower now, but it's not jumping up. Yay to that!
  • A hot cup of coffee with a tablespoon of Horizon heavy whipping cream. Drinking this with a ripe banana makes for satisfying pre-morning workout light breakfast.
  • Congratulations! Truly inspiring!
  • Thanks for getting this up for this month! I definitely love the challenge and accountability here. SW: 140 lbs. CW: 133 lbs. GW: 125 lbs. I got started working out late today, but I'm getting it in now and will keep trying my best to stay faithful to this challenge. Good luck to us all!
  • I'm game. Let's do this! CW: 133 lbs. GW: 125 lbs. Will update between Thursday to Sunday weekly! Best wishes to us all!
  • CW: 133 lbs. GW: 125 lbs. I love this thread! Let's keep it going for March too! I'm pumped!
  • CW: 133 lbs. GW: 125 lbs. Thanks guys for keeping this going! Let's do a March challenge also!
  • I'm 5 lbs. down today and have successfully completed the February lose 5+ lbs challenge, so I'm real ecstatic! And that feeling of accomplishment reinforces my goals that much more, so that next week when I go back to work from our one week break, l'll have that extra pull to reach my goal weight because I have already…
  • I'm 4 lbs. down today, so one more pound to go for the 5+ lbs. challenge. --Keeping it going! B)
  • I've been jogging weekends with a friend that does keto, and he says that he gets most of his energy from keeping a high protein moderate fat and low carbohydrate diet, which translates into heavy cream with his coffee in the morning, nuts and mixed greens during his workday for snacking, and a high protein, moderate fat,…
  • Hmilly, way to go on your weight loss progress! Keep slaying those pounds! And yep I definitely agree with AnPT77 calculation for basic protein requirements: 0.6-0.8 grams of protein per pound of body weight. And there are so many food sources that come to mind to easily meat that like poulty, meat generally, and fish. Of…
  • Good morning! Today, my weight is 136 lbs., so 11 more pounds to go, yes!
  • OP seems to want to lose the weight, so why question that? What's the point of settling for mediocre if you can go for the best? What's the point of settling for average level fitness if you can go for elite level fitness? What's the point of settling for a Master's in anything if you can go for the Doctorate? We have life…
  • I way myself during my period, and the reading on the scale is usually "W-A-T-E-R : R-E-T-E-N-T-I-O-N".
  • I'm used to eating my main meal in the evening, which is high in protein (now, typically from just a pound of roasted turkey or salmon; or half a dozen or more eggs) and also has satisfying levels of fat and carbohydrates. Also my main meal is high in fiber (really great for feeling of fullness for a longer period of…
  • I also suggest the GoFit aerobic floor mat for situps, bicycle ab crunches, or anything that puts you on your back. Getting the full finger beast mode gloves for pull ups couldn't hurt too. And both of these further allow you to get the most out of your workout with little to no discomfort. :)
  • You can do calisthenics anywhere, even at home, which is a super bonus! And it does help you shed the pounds. Here's a cute beginner video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcDY5-fNDG4 For pull ups at home, I strongly suggest a wall mounted pull up bar: Yes4All Heavy Duty Wall Mounted Pull-Up at amazon.com For dips at home,…
  • Nice! Keep it going! :)
  • Update: I'm 3 lbs down this morning. So 2 more pounds to go for the the 5 lbs. SW: 140 lbs. CW: 137 lbs. GW: 125lbs. How I am slaying the pounds so far: I drink coffee with sugar and cream in the morning and something like banana or a sweet potato, which helps with curbing hunger for several hours and tastes so good. After…
  • Exactly, "misery likes company". Do some people seem to be getting fatter as they're trying to fit in? Some but not all. The few that don't eat whatever's being offered to them actually stay fit and are a real boon to the company in the long-run. We shouldn't have to make ourselves miserable to fit in. I stick with my…
  • If they don't put the food literally in your hands or offer it directly to you, ignore it. But if it's given to you directly, just say "No, thank you! I've got something eating later. Enjoy!"
  • Baked poultry, meat generally, and fish are also very high in protein and low in carbs.
