Several friends and coworkers have commented on my loss. It's only taken 45 pounds. One friend hugged me and was startled, he was surprised by how less squishy I was.

I bought a bike this weekend! And I asked the salesman if it had a weight restriction or limit, and he looked me up and down and said, "You won't have to worry about it." The manual says 300lbs, which is where I was last year. Almost at 50 lbs gone, and I'm SOO looking forward to riding my bike to work and on the trails we…

I'm 3 pounds away from 50 Lost, then another 8 until I hit 250. Big goal I wanted to hit in 1 year. 1 year mark has passed, but I still feel like a winner

Take Photos! I just hit 45 lbs lost and when I look at myself, I see no change. But at 40 lbs lost, I put old and new photos together and it was mind blowing! Small changes everywhere. I feel the change in my clothes and how I take up space in chairs, the car, etc.

I'm glad to see this thread have life in it again. October through January was rocky for me, a lot of maintenance weeks and fewer loss weeks. Picking back up now! I'm down 43 pounds in 1 year (yesterday was my 365th day!) 7 to go until my 50lb goal, then another 8 until 250, which is the milestone I wanted to hit in 1 year.

I had to buy a belt! I bought new jeans in September, and they are super loose. I'm not ready to buy a new pair yet, even though these were pretty cheap. I just haven't gotten enough wears in! Also, I'm not sure if the next size down would fit juuust yet. Belt buying was discouraging though, I had to buy the largest size…

Thank you! I try to keep my calories between 1500 and 1800. MFP gives me 1970. There are days I'm over, I feel like it all balances out. My diary is open, and I'm usually about 90% complete, there are times I just forget to log. I use a fitbit, and it adds in exercise calories for me. I don't usually pay it a lot of…

I took some progress photos today. My total loss is 38.5 pounds, so close to 40! I don't see it when I look in the mirror, but this tells me everything I need to know! I have so far to go, but I'm not mad at this.

Me! My goal was to lose 60 before trying, I'm at 40 right now. I know I have so much more to lose, but I don't want to keep putting it off, I'm already 32.

I want to take a horseback riding lesson. I am afraid I am too out of shape and heavy and that's not fair to the horses. I also don't want to be the only one to get a "Special" horse that could handle my weight, you know? For some of the milestone loss amounts hit, I bought myself new funny workout tanks to put into my…

Yes, I have a lot of baking planned. BUT it is all for gift giving, so I know I can't eat it all. I almost feel bad giving people cookies and breads, but I know they share it with their families, so it's not all calories for one person.

I was always fat. Food was good, plentiful, I loved TV, reading, video games, crafts and hated sports or exercise. I even found ways around taking the required gym classes in school. I did get bullied but it was never a "problem" so I never tried to fix it. Gained more in college, gained more after college. Last 2 years I…

I'm at a bit of a plateu, so I took some measurements. I've lost about an inch all over in the month I only lost 2 pounds, 14.5 inches over all when I add up all the spots I measure!!

Honestly, I'm worn down. I'm up 2 pounds this week, and I know it's not all fat, but I've been feeling burnt out for weeks now, and this is just the culmination of that. I have 1 week til my vacation, I'm trying to hold on and keep on plan. My workout schedule has been all over the place, eating's been off. Sleep has been…

An Update: I have lost 32 pounds now, I'm below that weight I last flew at, and a little more. I'm below the weight I lied about on my driver's license. I have a dress to conquer for this vacation trip, I may have hit that goal already, I haven't tried it on yet to tell. I am officially in the next size down in pants. I…

This is about supporting others who need to lose 100 pounds. In the first post, there are some prompts for daily posting that is not required, but some people find it fun. We do challenges, this is where we post our weight from week to week and choose a goal, then others can cheer you on or offer advice if you're…

It has been a rough week or two for me. I've been basically maintaining, but I suspect a little gain this week. Lots of stress, salt, lack of sleep. I couldn't log my dinner calories, it would be too hard, but I'm hoping I didn't go too over since I had a small breakfast and lunch. Brazillian steakhouse for a birthday…

I switched to a zero calorie carbonated drink called Sparkling Ice. It tastes great and fruity, has the carbonation I love. I can't stand the taste of La croix, so this does it for me. I can get them for like$1 a bottle, sometimes lower on sale. there's 2 servings per bottle, so I just refrigerate whatever is left for the…

Buying pants the next size down!

I had to go pull jeans from my "too small" box under my bed today! All my regular jeans were too big!
