When I look back at when I was successful with losing weight, I realize that I was actually diligent about staying under my calories for the day. I already do all the work by tracking it all with my Lose It App. Now, I just need to stop cheating! 2 months ago

I used to do this with no problem. Lately, I have a horrible habit of snacking on something when I get home from the gym. I shall remedy this! I believe this has been a huge factor in why I haven’t done that great with my weight loss lately. I don’t even think I’m hungry and it’s more of a psychological thing. Yikes, I gotta get this under control. No more evening snacking for me! 2 months ago

I currently weigh 139 pounds. I had gotten down to 131 last fall, so I know I can do it again. The Lose It App has been a wonderful resource to track calories and exercise. I believe upping my protein intake and lowering my carbs will be the impetus to my success! Also, spring is approaching and I’m sure the pounds will fall off when we start hiking again. 3 months ago

I care about feeling good, being healthy, being strong and looking like I am healthy too. The former things in the list count the most, but when I eat better and lower my body fat, I get the latter benefit too. 4 months ago

How I did it: It was during my B-school that I lost weight in big chunks. When my course began in April 2011, I weighed about 138 pounds but I steadily lost weight every month. I weighed around 125 pounds from September 2011 to March 2012. I didn't have time to even think about food and being on campus, I had to walk around a lot. I lived on the 3rd floor with no elevator, so I had to climb all those flights of stairs at least 3 times a day.
I had 2 dry chapathi's with lightly sauteed vegetables with 1 small bowl of dal + yogurt for lunch and dinner. My breakfast was mostly a glass of coffee.
The weather in the area was mostly hot and humid which made me drink at least 10-12 glasses of water a day
I was always surrounded by friends and we were always active. The campus had a nice walking trail which I used quite a lot for long evening walks. Weight loss happened very naturally. Read how I did it… 4 months ago

so I’m going to try and follow up on this and see how far i can go. I’m a21 year old female that a year ago suffered from a car accident leading to breaking basically my whole body from my face down to ankles. Leading to from going from a 3 sport college athlete to no sports (hence the whole 25 lbs weight gain). ill be intrigued to see if this can help and learn from you guys as well! 5 months ago

The first day that I got home for the summer, I weighed – wait for it – 124.8. !!!!!!!!
But then the moment passed, of course, and now I’m hovering around 128, with brief forays up to 131. Ugh.
It never ends. 10 months ago

Stuck at 127. SO CLOSE. The funny thing is that because I don’t get any exercise at home, I also don’t eat anything, resulting in a 2ish pound weight loss over “the holidays”... 16 months ago

I keep being like “Ok, totally going to lose weight starting… now! Ok… now!” but “now” just recedes further and further. Sigh.
And I just found out that the toast I’ve ben eating for breakfast (cause breakfast is good, right?) is adding 250 calories a day. WTF.
At least I’m not eating pie-ice cream-sugary cereal-cookies every freaking day like I was when I first got back to school.
And eating less will mean I have to spend less money on booze, right?
Everything works out in the end! 17 months ago
