Weight loss journey

I have started a new diet I started it the Friday after Memorial Day June 2nd since that time I have lost 25 pounds. It’s hard dieting at times and I have been really strict with my diet. I think what is motivating me the most to actually loosing weight.

@Sassy the Wonderful Cat go you. You've got this.

Great work, Sassy! Good for you!

Thanks it’s all very motivating but it’s hard when people around you are eating your favorite foods

25 pounds is excellent results. What has always worked for me is never deprive yourself of favorites, but have them as treats at times so you don't overindulge when you have them. I have found that something light like milk and fruit for breakfast to sate myself and my bigger meal more dinnertime(lunch for other areas) and then something lighter in the evenings.

For me being strict seems the best way otherwise I would be breaking my diet all the time 😂

I'm the same, don't keep foods I'm not allowed in the house or I'd binge eat them.

Yeah I get that it can be so hard at times when people around me are eating stuff good to not have it around

Hard when my mother brings stuff to share that I shouldn't eat too. Then she offers to leave half of what's left here.

Yeah that is tough too many times people sabotage us

Stay strong my friend. You are doing well.

That's freaking awesome @Sassy the Wonderful Cat

Thanks

I am down 2 more pounds I was feeling like I had lost nothing this week but my official weight in showed some weight loss so happy. Dieting is so frustrating so many times this week I had to say no to food I would really like to eat loosing makes all of the no thanks worth it

How are you doing @Sassy the Wonderful Cat?

I started a diet three weeks ago and it's so hard!

I have fallen off recording my calories each day, and gained back a pound. It's a heat wave here and we haven't been working out and we've been eating ice cream. My husband can do it because he's skinny but I can't.

Sigh. Back in the saddle.

I missed some messages. It can be very hard @Sunspots i am always hungry it seems. The diet is called Livea I do like 5 of their meals a day they are about 120 calories each except for one that has a few more but you only get one of those a day. I also get one light and lean meal a day which is so much protein based on how fatty it is so i can have 7 once’s of cooked shrimp but only 6 once’s of chicken and then you also get a veggie. It really helps with the weight loss

@Lady Wolfshead sometimes you have to treat yourself you just need to get back at it and not let a setback totally stop your weight loss journey

I have now lost over 40 pounds. I am feeling so much better about myself. I was hating how I looked and it all just made me feel worse about myself. I now feel like I am looking pretty again it’s so nice to feel good about how I look. I am doing this one pound at a time

40 pounds is very impressive progress. And yes, the mental image you get about yourself is a huge plus.

Thanks yeah it’s lovely to feel good about yourself

It’s been awhile since I have updated here. I have lost 65 pounds *yay I feel really good in my clothes and have a lot more energy for my workouts. I am actually doing a full side plank now. My workouts are so much easier now. My one coach for one of my classes had me pick up a 60 pound kettlebell and omg I could hardly lift it no wonder it was so hard to do certain things. Now if I could just prevent the knee pain I get at times
