Total loss goal: 95 - 100 lbs
Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the community although I've been using it for a while for the recipes. I am currently using the LA Weight Loss Program (without the bars, supps or any additions... just food) and it's working.
When I started in mid January, I was absolutely hurting inside and out. I didn't even realize that in two years I had gained 45lbs! I was sitting at 245 lbs for my first weigh in at LA.
I could have cried. For some reason, I didn't have any hope. But I started... and right away I dropped 15lbs! And then... March hit... no one had made any comments or noticed the weight change, so I went back off track.
I managed to maintain my weight as I kept to eating mostly healthy foods... just with a lot more cheating. For over a month I wasn't even trying.
Suddenly people started saying "Have you lost weight, because you look great!"... and then I looked at myself. They were right! ... now I'm re-motivated.
I am currently 225.2 lbs and going down. I'm back on track and eating the right foods again. I even have been biking to work, for fun and to LA for my weigh-in. I'm starting to feel really good again.
So, to everyone... if you feel like you are slipping away and no one is noticing your hard effort, take a look in the mirror! Take a look at how loose your clothes feel, how much easier it is to walk up stairs or ride a bike... feel the difference in your body because you are filling it up with healthy foods, not manufactured crap... and then, you'll be motivated.
The stories of everyone on here make it so much easier as well. If everyone here can do it, so can I! Thank you all so much!
