Oh yeah. The girls are gone. All I can say is thank goodness for bras at my age:) Not only mourning the boobs. I need to find a way to let my old self go. I don't recognize myself. It's more than the weight loss. I have become a new me on the inside. I look back and have some sadness for the person I used to be. How do you let your old self go when you have become a new person?

Just not tempted. Like others here I have great alternatives.

Sorry I'm a gal. But I wanted to respond. I'm in that phase now. So far I'm managing it fine. I use a over the counter product for men or women to hide the thin spots:)

Thank you so much Susan for another challenge. I am so in!

Big mile stone~ Go you!

Nothing to be sorry about. A NSV Is a Non Scale Victory.

Its cold out! ( Fall/Winter) I'm now shaving my legs..because I can.

@@iamblessed1225 Fantastic! Celebrate your NSV!

wow you have done fantastic! Congrats~ the scale stopped on me a little while back. Yeah I have had to work harder. The honeymoon is over:) I stepped up my workout. I change up the types of workouts I do. I'm always pushing up the resistance on the machines. Lot's of Water....It has seemed to get the scale moving again.

First weigh in 183 - goal 167 2nd - 180 3rd-176 4th -174 5th - 172 6th - 167 7th - 166 today - 162 new goal for the last weigh in hoping to be 159

Congradulations on your 47 pounds lost. I understand the fear of gaining weight back. I have gained small amounts and plateaued. I just keep plugging away at what I need to do. Enjoy and do something special for yourself each time you reach a goal. You have done great things. Keep it up:)

@@poohbear1019 I so get the wanting to tone up. I'm new to weightlifting. I use the weight machines at my gym. They seem a bit more user friendly. I'm working on my core right now. Have you looked up any youtube videos on weightlifting workouts?

@@Forsythia @@robisfubar I agree with forsythia. I'm almost 5 months and it gets harder at this point. I'm out of the honeymoon stage when all is going well. I'm now in the reality stage that this is not another diet and it takes work.

@@robisfubar I'm sorry for youre stuggles. Ok...I'm no expert. Just some things to think about. Track food! love my fitness pal for tracking its makes things so simple.. How many carbs and fats are you eating? Some people are carb sensitive. Once you add them it triggers hunger and weight gain. How many calories Vs How many calories burned? How much exercise is required on your drs plan? Mine is 6 days a week at a hour minimum. Starvation not an option for me. Besides messing up your metabolism it triggers more hunger and sets me up for failure. You are lossing weight! woohoo go you. Never stop never give up. You have invested the money into this. Invest the time into yourself. you are so worth it. Wishing you the best, Jenn

Congrats! welcome to the otherside.

Here is my sugestion for what its worth:) --->Get back to basics. Track your food. Change up the type of exercise you do daily. Up the resistance on exercise machines. Just keep doing and don't give up! the scale will move.

Woot woot! time for a happy dance! Shopping. Yes! a great way to reward yourself. congrats

I use listerine strips. They come in a smal pack and melt on your tounge. Easy to carey in my wallet. sugar free mints should be fine. I had seen someone post that tic tacs are now like a bowl of candy.
