Fell off the ball. Gained weight , mostly from having a stressful job. Went back up to 152. But I’m not giving up, and already lost four pounds.
I want to be 115 lb by the first day of summer, and lose at least 10 lbs by feb. 14th. 3 months ago

I weighed myself this morning and got weights ranging from 150-157. But I’m going for 151 as I think that’s fairly accurate. I want to be 145, realistically by march/april. 3 months ago

It took me
2 years
It made me
Confident!

How I did it: I set reasonable goals with no time limit because I wasn't trying to lose the weight for a wedding or party: I decided to lose the weight for me and for my health.

Move your body!

I am 5'11" and weighed 178 lbs at 21 years old. I started with a goal of 10 lbs, started walking every day for one hour (even in the rain!) and "snuck in" exercise whenever I could: always taking the stairs, getting off the subway 1 stop earlier and walking the extra 10 blocks - anything to get me to move.

My lifestyle change.

  • I was working a desk job, so I didn't need to be eating a lot of quick-burning carbs like pasta and potatoes.
  • I allowed myself pasta 2X week (I'm Italian!) and ate the recommended serving serving size.
  • I went heavy on green vegetables, beans, small portions of whole grains
  • The only sugar I allowed myself was from fruit (dried too, in very limited amounts).
  • Minimal fats (tiny servings of olive oil - teaspoon per recipe), no cheese, etc.
  • VERY limited intake of meat. Only white meat. Lots of beans!
  • Cut back on alcohol in a big way. Switched from beer/wine to vodka or gin and soda with a lime wedge.
  • I allowed myself to "cheat" 1-2x per month (never getting too crazy), and it made special occasions even more special
The funny thing is... After the weight started melting off, I started "cheating" less and less. I found myself making smart choices while dining out. I was having my pasta once a month maybe. I got so into the greens and beans and how good they made me feel that I didn't even have an urge to eat crap anymore.Once you start seeing the results and getting the compliments, it's all downhill from there!

My skinny jeans are loose! Just keeping on with the clean eating, cutting way back on bread and pasta, and tracking portions. 12 months ago

rissafin wrote Vacations make healthy eating hard

Especially when staying w family – the menu and even the timing make good choices and self control harder. About 100 WW points for the week above my normal… And came home to weigh in around 3 lbs above a week ago. Blech. Good start back today though, back in the routine. 13 months ago

Focusing on clean eating as a lifelong habit… Eat food, not too much, mostly plants, organic and pastured.

Oh, and I put away the size 16 and 14s. The 12s are great and the 10s will fit soon. :) 14 months ago
