Reached my first goal!!! 100lbs gone!
Yesterday at weigh in I achieved my first major goal of dropping 100lbs! It took 315 days starting at 2200 calories to 1530 calories today. I started keto low carb but recently I've added a few carbs back like rice, beans and very rarely breads. I have splurged also and those weeks I did see either a stall or gain even…

May have overreacted 😁
I did gain this week but no where as much as I thought I would. I gained.6lbs for a total gain over two weeks of 2.4lbs. I'm going to stick with 1200-1500 calories for awhile. Here's to getting back on track!

Stuck at home! Eating everything in sight!
Well two weeks after hitting my goal of losing 100lbs, I've gained some back. This week I've been stuck in the house due to a winter storm, I'm from the south we don't do snow & ice, lol. So I'm not looking forward to tomorrow's weigh in, I have been an eating machine at night. I've done this before, lost a bunch of weight…

Help, I've been up and down for the past 5 weeks

My weight now is 255 and my goal weight is 200, my calories are set at 1630. I consistently stay under or at my calories. I skip breakfast everyday and only drink coffee, no…

Getting discouraged, how do you cope?
Even though I've lost 72lbs I'm still over weight. Just looking in the mirror I can't tell a difference now vs. at my heaviest. I'm just feeling frustrated that I've come so far and still have so much more to go. I get to thinking that I'll never be able to look how I picture myself in my head, because I've been overweight…

Met another milestone today 70lbs gone!
I've got a long way to go still but I reached 70lbs down today. I've basically just changed my diet and been mindful of what I eat. I've added some walking and for the past month been going to PT for a bulging Disc, it's helping. I just wanted to toot my own horn. I don't have a lot of support at home to share this with. I…

Help! My weight loss has slowed to a crawl!
After hitting my first mini goal of 20lbs, I've only lost 0.7lbs in the last three weeks. I believe I've hit my first plateau, it's frustrating. Anyone have tips or advice how to bust through a plateau?

Hit my first mini goal today!
I've lost my first 20lbs! 21.6 to be exact. I even broke out some of my "what if pants" and was able to wear them. I cut almost all carbs out this past week and learned my body loves sugar and carbs if I eat just a small amount I maintain or gain weight. I'm going need all the motivation I can get because I love carbs 😁…

Week one down and no lose 😭
Feeling frustrated already in getting back on this plan. I kept my calories close or under the suggested daily intake and I didn't lose a pound. I figured I'd at least lost a little, even a quarter pound would have made me feel a little better about. In the past I would have lost a little, the only thing that's changed is…

Need motivation!
I'm struggling! This is my third try in the last two years at trying to get healthy. The first time was in 2013, I was able to get down to 211lbs, which I gained back over the next year. Then early this year I joined a gym and got back on track and lost 45lbs bringing me down to 260. The past 6 months of my life has had a…

Starting over!
Time to try this again, I lost sight of my goals earlier in the year, and basically gave up. Now I weigh more than I did when I started, and I'm miserable! I have to be strong this time and stick to my plan!

Wanting to change my life!!
I've been struggling with my weight my whole life, at age 40 I realized I need to change my life! Growing up in the south, everything is deep fried! I've been overweight since 8 years old, this led to self-esteem issues that I still struggle with. I'm aiming at a healthy weight, don't know what that is. I tried this a few…
