So, this is not a before and after. This is an example of how you can be healthier at the same weight. I’ve lost over 100lbs and I am back to what I weighed at my wedding. But I can see that the wedding picture on the left is a much less healthy and fit person. I remember how heavy I felt. Now I’m the same weight but feel 100xs better than I did then. I thought I’d share this “non-scale victory” with you all.

Also did you guys know that MyFitnessPal has a place to put photos by your weight log? It’s great!

I already lost 1.8lbs in the competition!

Hello all! I just started a dietbet on their app. The buy in was $80 and you can win up to $610. The goal is to lose 4% which for me is like 10.8 lbs by May 20th. I’m super excited because I’ve already been on track 7 days with two days of going out and keeping it under 1500 even when going out. So, I’m feeling pretty pumped!

I have officially lost 100lbs!!! 365 to 265!!! 25 more pounds to the next goal of 240. And 45 lbs to my goal of 220! I’m 5’8’’ so when I started 220 seemed like a great final goal. But we will see! ?

Side view! The left is after I had already lost some weight.

I lost the pregnancy. ? it was very early; the forum was one of the only places I could post so soon - anonymously. I hope my journey leads to a viable pregnancy. That is my only real goal, not a number. I have lost a little weight and body fat recently. I had some serious food aversions in my first weeks of pregnancy. Thanks for the support. I’ll keep you guys updated.

GUESS WHAT???? IM PREGNANT!!! That’s why I had the surgery! Yay!

Here are my Baritastic measurements. I’m down from 274 inches to 239 inches overall.

Time for an update! I know many people don’t eat pasta but here is my meal prep of chicken, tomato pesto, spinach, fresh parsley in a garlic butter sauce. I got 15 servings out of it and it goes in the freezer portioned out so I can just grab one and go whenever.

My hunger has been only emotion driven. Actual hunger is basically gone. I don’t get actually hungry for like ten hours.

Alright, let’s chat about real life. I struggled with drinking my calories but have gotten it pulled back a lot. However, I’ve substituted those calories with slider foods. So, I’m taking action and going back to counseling and I think I really need to up my water intake. So, if you are struggling, like me, think about this honeymoon period and making the most of it. I know I want to do the best I can. I’m excited that I pulled out slacks today! Size 20 slacks and size 16 blouses. Some xl blouses because I’m thinner up top. This is really exciting but I know I could use a few more pounds to fit into some of the awesome clothes that I have. Wish me luck guys. It isn’t all sunshine and roses and everyone’s journey is different but I’m working through it all.

Here’s a recent comparison pic.

Down today! 9.2lbs left to get to the weight I was when I got married.

Lane Bryant but I think I could buy some things from New York and company now

Date night

Just bought new jeans a a top for date night tonight. I literally wore them out of the store. These are my first skinny jeans ever! Pic to come later!

Kicking butt at the gym!

So, I’m in the next size lower jeans. I tried on some work tops and they look fabulous so I think I’m going to invest in a pair or two of slacks that fit. So far I’ve been lucky not to have to buy anything because I still have my clothes.

I’m at 61/2 months and I’m 90lbs down.

Oh the casserole also has turkey sausage! It’s super easy to bake at 360 for 90 mins.
