For the first time in years, I was able to fit into a size 38 pants today which I wore to the weigh-in. When I started my weight loss odyssey back on May 27 this year, I was barely able to fit into a size 46 pants.
I lost weight this time but not as much as during the past two weigh-ins. I'm blaming Thanksgiving, specifically Thanksgiving pumpkin pie-cake which I sort of gorged on. However, there is now a very good chance that I will drop down to my 220 pound goal of 100 total pounds lost by my next weigh-in on February 1.
Good for you!
Way to go! Proud of you!
Can you post your weight loss secret (cause Tis the Season to put on the pounds.) LOL!
as my daughter would say, “Awesome Sauce” !!! Congrats!!
Awesome! Keep it rolling PJ!!!!
I need to drop a few myself
Well good for you, nice job.
I once lost 27 pounds in two months by simply walking...2 miles every day..m
A mile in the morning and another in late afternoon.....
Wore a headset,listened to music or talk radio...if I missed a session, no big deal.
Good luck,keep going,you’ll get there
Crave Stop. It definitely eliminated all my carb cravings. I never could have lost the 84 pounds I have lost since May 27 without it.
Keep up the great work FRiend!
Have a safe and healthy Christmas!
The way I’m going, I may need your old clothes.........................
Great Work!
Can you post your weight loss secret
**************
Isn’t it pretty much calories in versus calories burnt in daily activities?
The ones not used become weight.
Calories, the basic units of energy, are at the heart of weight loss .
Weight gain happens when you take in more than you expend,
and weight loss happens when you use more than you consume.
I can tell you what I did to lose two notches in my belt.
Those lil hazelnut creamers for your coffee.....
I started working at this job, selling coffee to businesses, 18 months ago.
I went from dead last to number one in my region and #4 out of 157 sales people.
I also went from 195#’s to 230#’s.
those lil cups of hazelnut or French Vanilla creamers are sohhh delicious!
I drink 5-8cups of coffee a day and because we get those creamers free, as a benefit, I would regularly drop 10-15 in double cup of coffee...
Here is the crazy thing. I can’t really stand the taste of sugary anything.
However, because it was free, I came to like these lil innocuous flavors.....
HOwever, each one of those lil cups of flavor has 45 calories. Which means I was drinking 450-700 calories with every cup of coffee.
I stopped dropping those lil cups in my coffee and for doing nothing more than eliminating two or candy bars of coffee 5-7 times a day, I am losing weight.
Black coffee is fine and coffee with a little milk and artificial sweetener is fine.
Hey Bro, thanks! I think you’re on to something.
I love my coffee flavorings also. I lost about 25 lbs 10 years ago (put it back on since.) I was walking a lot, fasting and drinking my coffee black. Ummmmm?
I use no-carb cashew milk in my coffee.
Well done! Congrats! Getting started is the hardest part. When you get going with the weight loss, it becomes almost a competition with yourself. The next challenge is making your new habits a way of life.
Excellent PJ! You look good! So happy for you. To lose that much weight in 7 months is fantastic. Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year to you and yours.
Good post. Also drinking unsweet tea is good — no kind of sweetener — you develop a taste for it.
Congratulations! Bottom line, you’ll live longer and be happier.
