Weight-loss appreciation post.

Great job! Any tips on what you did to loose the weight ?

I cut out all sugars and have been chugging water. I haven't even had to exercise. It is just falling right off of me. I definitely would suggest getting into a state of ketosis. The keto way is the best way. In my opinion.

Great job girl! I've lost 65 lbs the past few years but am trying to lose more before the day comes.. it's creeping up though. Gotta get focused.

You've got this!!

Congratulations!!! That's such an awesome amount!! And an awesome feeling!!

I started working on weight loss before we got engaged, but I'll admit the fact that I was suspicious he was going to propose helped motivate me a little more the weeks before he did. When I started working on it, I was at 208 & am down to 156. I'm hoping to loose a little bit more before the wedding but if I don't, I'm totally happy with where I'm at. I've been maintaining that weight for a while, just because with everything else going on I haven't been able to focus on losing more. But the nice thing about that is I know I now know how to maintain a steady weight rather than gaining it all back

View Quoted Comment Can I ask what you've been doing help you lose weight and maintain it?

That is AWESOME Alyssa congrats!

With us being in the last 3 months, I'm focusing a lot more on my fitness now. I wish I would have started earlier but with 2 kids at home and commuting 2hours a day to and from work, my schedule is tight. This week, I got up Tuesday-Friday to work out before work (I'll work out this evening to reach my goal of working out 5 days a week) and watched what I was eating. I've already lost 2lbs. Not a lot but its helpful for me to know what I'm doing is working. I'm excited to see how much I can lose at the end of each month until the wedding and keep up with it afterwards.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! That is awesome!

And yes, I am there with you! I started 6 weeks ago at 196lbs, and this AM I was 180.

I just keep a log of my weights every morning and that motivates me throughout the day to make better choices. That's literally all I've done and I've been losing about 2lbs per week.

I have also downloaded the free app " my fitness pal". It let's you scan the barcode for anything you eat, or look up any food from a restaurant and or home cooked. Then at the end of the day you can look at your nutrition. It also let's you put in your current and goal weight and how much weight per week you want to lose and it sets up your calorie, carb, fat intake for you per day to reach that goal.

It's been a great resource for me!

Congratulations I was 200 pounds and I have lost 20 pounds within 2 months. I still have a long way to go. I want to loose 60 pounds in all before my wedding August 17th.

Absolutely!! I did weight watchers actually!! The main thing with weight watchers for me was to make sure I was honestly tracking my food. It taught me to get back to eating a LOT of fruits and veggies, limiting the junk (but not totally excluding it) and eating more of the lean meats, like chicken or super lean/deli turkey. What's really nice about it too is that if you do it, their app for your phone can scan bar codes to tell you how many "points" a serving of a food is, and it makes tracking SOOO much easier, as well as they have an online community where people post their weight watcher-ized recipes so you can have your favorite meals at a lower amount of "points"

Thank you! I've been looking for ways to lose weight since I'm really not much of a gym person and I work a lot of long hours so it's hard to get motivated before or after work.

View Quoted Comment I water fast all day and only eat one small meal at night. I cut out all sugars and carbs. That's really it haha!

Great job i feel the same as you and i started doing zumba but now im loosing weight like crazy plus i changed my eating no bread and stuff

Great job! I was about 189 in January when I started and I’m now down to 159. I tried to do Keto but it’s super hard to restrict the carbs especially when I’m a college student and don’t have much money for groceries like meat and fresh produce. But I go to the gym(4-5 times a week) doing cardio, weights and lap swimming. Good thing the gym is free since it’s at school. I’m doing IF 16:8 too though and that one is pretty easy and cheap once it goes well with your schedule

I am overweight and would love to lose 30-40 lbs. before the big day. My problem is consistency.. i do great 3-4 weeks in then get a little lax in my efforts. Thank you for sharing your stories.. motivation needed!

Congratulations!! That's amazing!! I'm sure you're beaming with confidence as you should be!!

That’s amazing! I’m at about 180 right now and I’d like to get to 165-150 for my wedding in April. I’ve cut out all sugars and most carbs. I’m also working out at least 35-45 min a day everyday. Hoping to see some progress soon!
