success stories

  • Hi ,
    I am a month in and love to look at pics and read about calorie counter successes. post below if you have one.Thanks
  • I don't have any pics and I'm far from a success story (for now) but I've been really happy calorie counting. For 2.5 months this year I dedicated myself to calorie counting (May and September 4-present). In that time I lost 33 lbs. I still have a lot more to go but I'm pretty positive that I'll be sticking to this plan for the long haul.
  • Hi, if you go to the 'goal' forum, there are plenty of inspiring stories and pictures there!
  • I've been calorie counting (about 1200 cal/day) for 31 weeks and have lost 95lb in that time. I haven't yet posted before and after pics, but hope to soon.
  • Well, I don't weigh myself, but I started calorie counting on June 1, and I've gone from a size 14 to a size 10P (that P was an important victory for me because I'm short and it's nice to be able to buy size 10 in petites again).

    I am so happy about my progress because for about 5 years, I just allowed myself to get bigger and bigger and bigger because I could not face having to put boundaries around my eating again. I've finally let it sink in that I will always have to have a boundary around my eating or face being fat my whole life.
  • Looking at other poster's pics are what kept me motivated. I added pics to my siggy, I tried to make it smaller but it won't shrink *sigh* I started CC on January 12th and have lost 61 pounds.
