Well some good news. I registered on the scale at 339 which means the scale tops out at 340. So is wasn't 350 I was a little over 340. I'm so happy it's showing now. Now to keep it moving down.

Kim I will give you some tips that really have help me to WIN!

Water water water, as much as you can drink
No sugar or things you even think might have sugar
You can eat out, just get fresh green beans, and a small meat with a salad ( I hate salad dressing so I eat it plain)
No soda, Including diet (zevia is fine a few times a month)
No fast foods/ Or junk food including chips and so on
No package food/pre made food
No Bread, Pasta (I hate pasta)
Have a go to food
30 mins of just walking a day ( nothing crazy)
Keep moving your body ( I walk at my 2 15 min breaks and 20 mins or more of my hour lunch my lunch)
If at home do house work when the kids sleep or try to not just sit down. If you been walking then its fine
NO CHEAT DAYS EVER ( I see people eating Chinese food buffet and that make me think they do not want it as bad as I do)

I know its hard and everyone is different, and I could go on with what I gave up for good. This is what works for me, but I truly Believe the quote I saw "Give up everything you love to eat, drink, including bread, grains and you will win" I let It all go and it has been the best thing I have done. Never let anything throw you off the WOE path. I can't wait to see you with 50 pounds gone.

Great to see the scale down already, keep it moving

PSSS take picture's of your self to. Stay strong and you will make it.

NR had some great tips including the Photos. Also add get a tape measure for all the usual places, there will be weeks without a scale change but you may be losing inches. Another method is to keep a pair of pants to note the change.
But again suggest you swing by your doctor's office and ask to step on their scale, it's good to have one consistent measure. Just for you, they don't have to record it on your chart if not a full visit. Scale weights, especially home ones, aren't always reliable. Iced tea and other unsweetened beverages count as water...seltzer or sparkling waters flavored with essence.

Thanks I did buy some La Croix Mano sparking water for the fizz. It's going to take some getting used to. I was a diet pop addict

Great, put down as much water as you can, it what the body truly loves. Tea is good to, but not the junk in a bottle. brew it with no sugar.

JEY hit it right on the nose, just cause the scale does not go down does not mean the waist, face, hips and so on are not. I scale has been the same for a few days, but my clothing is falling of, and my belt cant get tight enough . No matter what push forward even when your friends and family are killing foods you used tot eat.

Good goal. You can start your own journal, and then people can give advice and encouragement just meant for you!
