Thanks for the update! I'm currently going through unwanted weight loss myself. Never thought this would happen to me. My goal weight was 140, when I reached it, I was happy and satisfied. I even started to allow myself a bit more (as far as Snacks, I'd start to eat a bit of popcorn here and there, I'd allow myself a piece of chocolate, etc). But despite that, I am now at 125 and going down. I'm 5'5", and I am what you would call "big boned". So at 125, though I am a size 6, it's just because the pants hug my hip bones, which can't get any smaller. I'm literally TOO SKINNY. :-( I guess I will start adding more liquid calories, ensures and things...

133 today. Wow! I surpassed my goal! So happy!

135 for last Friday!

Beautiful!!! You shouldn't be not hating pics of yourself. You should be absolutely loving them! :-)

Forgot to weigh in! 136.5 :-)

137. Reached goal :-)

Current weight: 141. Uh oh. Going back up. I was on vacation this week.

Today: 141 Goal: 138

144 today. Didn't meet my goal :-( I'm no longer losing 2 lbs a week. I'm now losing 1 lbs a week.

I'm in! Goal weight 140.

Thanks. I will try and see if I can order it to Florida!

Lol, I'm with you on that one too!

I miss my diet coke. Oh so bad.

The same thing happened to me! I thought I could measure by eye, lol, boy was I wrong!

I remember when I thought to myself "I don't need weight loss surgery, I'm going to try this special diet one more time, and I'll make it!" I remember when I was worried that I would be the exception, the one who would get weight loss surgery and not lose weight. I remember when I lost my first 30 pounds and thought "I still feel the same, I still think I look the same, and my clothes still fit. This isn't working!" I remember when i felt that each pound I lost was going to be my last one, and I'd lose no more. I remember when I wrote down my goal weight and thought "wow, as if! Oh well, good motivation at least..." I remember when I would look at other people's post in Bea's challenges who were in the 150s, 140s, 130s, and feeling so behind. Now, I still can't believe, I'm 5 lbs away from my impossible goal, I really did lose the weight, each pound I lost was not my last one, and I'm no longer doubtful of weight loss surgery not working for me (duhh lol) Although I'm not yet at goal, I'm very happy, and I wanted to let all of you who currently feel the way I did, that you're going to make it, and you're not going to be the exception to weight loss surgery! :-)

145.2 It's moving slowly, but at least it's moving right?

Interesting! Thanks! By the way, you said you put it in Soups, does it not get clumped up like the unjury if the heat is too high?

It took about 5 to 6 days for me.

Definitely premier protein shakes. They have plenty of protein (30grams) and very low carbs (I think about 4grams). I get them at Costco, bjs, or Walmart. They don't have a chalky taste, they're pretty thick in texture (like a real milkshake I guess).

There are good and bad sides to it. When I was 240, whenever I'd ask someone to guess my weight, 205 was the most I ever got. People don't know how much weight looks like what. Also, some people are just not observant. I asked someone to guess how much weight i lost overall and he said 40 pounds, when it is actually 95 pounds. Don't worry about these people. Pat yourself in the back and admire those lost pounds on the scale. Congrats! :-)

You look so beautiful! Congratulations!

I'm 25. I lost 95 lbs. I'm looking into a breast lift. Mine are gone. There's so much extra skin that was stretched when they were bigger that even will a little toning and firming, the skin will always be there, not helping them firm. I have to remove it. I hate it.

I'm happy for you and support you (virtually I guess lol). But in all seriousness, I know how being so close feels!! You're gonna get there!! I have 6 more to reach my goal. The anticipation! Lol. I also vow with you to do all of the above mentioned, especially to drink enough, stop eating before I get too full, and figure out if I'm only having head hunger before eating!

145.8

Thank you!!!!
