Pictures are worth a thousand words. It's the way I see my progress. It took forever to wrap my mind around the changes in the mirror. You will be amazed as time goes by. Good luck everyone! You are looking great!

At 16 month out I still only eat a cup per meal. I eat protein first and then veggies. I measure, weigh and track everything on MFP. I don't ever want to slip back to my previous overweight habits. Take it slow. I know you can stretch your stomach, but if you follow the rules, you can stay on track. My doctor worried about protien intake first. I get between 60-70g protein a day. That's a goal. Now I can fit it a bite or two of veggies but that took a while. 1/2c seems about right for now! I'm hoping to be at a normal bmi by Christmas!

I've not experienced this. I plan to reach goal by December and will be a normal bmi. I think it's doable.!

Im 57, 5'1". Im not a fast loser. I've reach 81% of my excess weight to this point and plan to be a normal bmi. You can do this. I still eat a cup or less per meal, measuring everything. I stay around 1000 calories and use My Fitness Pal to track. You can do this and achieve your goal! Good Luck!
