Congratulations! It is very inspiring to hear about others' success. I sometimes get frustrated because a pound or two doesn't sound like much over the course of the week (who doesn't want instant success?), but those pounds really add up over weeks and months.

My first weigh-in is tomorrow. I've done a good job sticking to the plan and I can tell that my clothes are already a little looser, so I'm looking forward to it.

I've lost 25 lbs. since March 1, when I started up again. I'm pleased with that, plus the fact my clothes are literally falling off of me, even ones that I couldn't wear on March 1. I still have a lot to go... (yeah I'd gotten fat, stupid thyroid!) but it's nice seeing results. The program is easy, and I work out 4-5 times a week, so I know that helps too. With my specific thyroid issue it's still difficult to lose weight, even though I'm now in the healthy range.

Major milestone today. If I were in WW I'd be getting my FIFTY POUND charm.

66 to go to my personal goal weight. Since I started I've gone from a size 22 to an 18. I also (sorry if TMI) had to get some new bras because I've lost 4 inches and a cup size. Hubby pouted teasingly about this, but he's super excited for me. I have a very small wardrobe to wear right now because every darn thing is falling off and I refuse to buy a bunch of new clothes until I get down closer to where I hope to be on a more permanent basis..

In addition to eating clean since November, on July 1st I "went vegetarian" I've only cheated 3 times and I felt such ridiculous guilt each time because I knew I could do without.

There are times where I think "OMG, I want a REAL burger right now SO BAD" but then I think about how I look and how I feel and I remember that there's a reason I've made the change...The biggest advantage to going meatless is it makes it impossible for me to justify an excuse to go to a fast food restaurant. Even though they have salads, the truth of the matter is, if I go to a Chick-Fil-A, or a Wendys, I'm NOT going to get a darn salad. So I just don't go anymore.

This time is different. I know everyone says that, but I know it's true for me. For starters, I've NEVER lost 50 pounds any other time I tried to lose weight. The most I lost on any other plan (WW at the time) was 30 pounds. This is truly a lifestyle thing this time. No soda since November, no sweet tea since March (That's a biiiiig deal - this southern girl misses sweet tea really bad), and no meat since July. One day I will get to a point where I will allow myself to have it again, but not until I feel like it's no longer a temptation that I'll fall off the wagon and start having that temptation regularly rather than once in a blue moon. I still allow myself to have treats (yeah, there are certain times of the month that I simply have to have a pack of M&Ms....)

I feel AWESOME!

I thought I would bump this to update this that it took me a year, but I've gotten to 55 pounds lost!

Shopping has definitely gotten more fun :) My DH, while happy for me, is maybe not liking my new shopping addiction...especially since I still have lots to go!

There's a really good hamburger place about a mile and a half from us. On the weekends, to make the hamburger worth it...we walk there!! I think doing some kind of exercise to get something you really want, definitely helps!

Congratulations!

Having trouble with WW Mobile app. It keeps saying that I have to finish "Setting up my account" but I have. Has anyone else had problems with it?

Side note: Finally got to 25 pounds lost tonight! I've been up and down lately, which is frustrating. Man, does it feel good.

I wasn't sure if people knew this or not, but there's now an app from WW that scans barcodes and will tell you how many points per serving. You can also take it right from there and add it to your tracker! It's a free app!

This is a great app! It's called WW Scanner, I think.

I've been a lurker forever, but it's been really inspiring to read through this thread. I've lost almost 40 lbs on WW, with about 15 to go, and I love reading everyone's stories.

Bumping!

I signed up for the online program today. I had managed to lose about 25 pounds over the past year or so on my own and was feeling GREAT, but my crazy schedule combined with an unhealthy hospital food diet (ironic, right?) have erased about half of that. I graduate from medical school in May and get married in June, and have decided it's time to really get serious about this.

I was successful the first time around largely in part to my keeping a food diary, so I'm hopeful that this will help to keep me on track!
