@@Aprilhoffman78 - AMAZING!! Good for you!
I'm hovering around the 157lb mark. My personal goal is 145 and I'll work away at it until I get there! I'm feeling fantastic and looking decent so I'm content and happy. It'll feel very strange one day to NOT need to lose any weight!
@@Veronica Page - I so admire your transparency and courage to be REAL. Don't give up! We are all cheering for you! You can do it and you've come so far!

I made goal ???? I am now a 127 lb girl. My goal was 130 those last few lbs were hanging on forever. So here's some of my advice the scale is a liar. When I wasn't losing I really was.. I was dropping sizes, one week my body was all weird looking the next it was evening out all my saggy areas. So I believe I'm entering the body image phase. Like who am I? I look weird deflated..has my nose always been this big or was it buried under my old chubby cheeks? If one more person says wow April you've lost a whole person I'm throat punching them..It's such a mental game..anyways I rewarded myself by buying jeans you know the kind that has the measurements I'm a 26 x27 not a 17,16,15,14, etc so keep up the great work it will come off and let's try and keep our minds strong )

Personal experience don't listen to them all the time. Its just a check up and if you do well with smaller meals then you do what is best for you. I too eat three meals a day and 2-3 Snacks. My Nut said as long as my snacks aren't carb loaded and are made with the awareness they are just a snack then it is ok. I tend to get hungry every couple of hours myself. I'm like you when someone makes a negative comment and just turn back to my old eating habits. I think it is because I'm in control of my bad eating habits and since I can't control others opinions of me I just eat. So dumb but I do it. Keep your head up and listen to your own body. Everyone is different.

don't beat yourself up too much I haven't worked out once either

. I have iced americanos with some half and half all the time. Yummy! I haven't done anything blended yet. Feel like it's all sugary and full of air...

Hi everyone, it's been a while since I've checked in.
Life is pretty good right now. I moved, started a new job, started a new school to lead to a new career and all of that's been exciting and wonderful. I've been out here (Walla Walla Washington) for one month now and my weight has been going down, but slower. I mostly blame myself, my new career has to do with wine, so I've been going wine tasting almost every day. Still exercising, but I need to eat a little better. During my month here I've lost about 5 pounds and have now lost a total of 105 lbs. my goal is only about 25lbs away, although I'm stating to realize I'll likely adjust that goal downward when I get there. I'm currently 6 lbs away from onederland, so that's my closer goal, what I need to concentrate on to feel like I'm achieving things.
I bought a some new clothes yesterday, my waist is down to a 36 inch from a 48-50 at my heaviest, and I bought a shirt that fits great and is size L, down from XXXXL. Just typing that makes me proud. Hope everyone else is doing great, keep it up!

I THINK I'VE BROKEN MY STALL/GAIN. I'M DOWN TO 220, STAYED AT 222-225 FOR LIKE A MONTH, WEIRD. ANYWAY I'M JUST GLAD I'M DOWN. I WENT SHOPPING ON lunch TODAY. I PICKED OUT SOME STUFF ON THE PLUS SIZE SIDE OF THE STORE AND NONE OF IT WAS FLATTERING. I WENT THE THE "NORMAL" SIZE SIDE OF THE STORE AND BOUGHT THREE XL SHIRTS. I WAS STOKED AND THEY LOOK GREAT. NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE XL AGAIN IN MY LIFE. I'M SO THANKFUL. THIS SEEMS TO BE SLOW GOING FOR ME LATELY BUT IT IS STILL AWESOME!
