I got the greatest compliment yesterday!
I went out to lunch with a girlfriend that I haven't seen in months and the first thing she said was, "Wow, look at how skinny you are!" I actually looked behind me for the person she was actually talking to. Me, skinny? Well not really, I still have a long way to go but comparatively speaking I am a lot smaller than I was…

Progress feels great!
While I am truly a believer in the concept of "slow and steady wins the race" where weight loss and healthy habits are concerned, sometimes I feel just a bit discouraged by my slow progress. Then again, it's hard to complain when I feel healthier than ever. I need to remind myself that, whether the scale moves quickly or…

A little confident boost never hurt
So yesterday I was heading to the gym, and this pretty attractive guy standing next to his Camaro looks at me and says "oh wow.." stares me down and says "Are you single?" I just looked at him and tried to hold in my school girl giggle and said sorry i'm married..and he then follows with "Happily married?" and of course I…

Now that I have included P90X into my workouts along with my normal routines, my BP stays around 120/62! I normally visit my…

When to take pictures
I can not notice any change when I look in the mirror. I think maybe I forgot what I looked like before or maybe I am just blind and still see the "fat mom". So i started taking some pictures. I figured this would be a great idea to show myself how far I have come. Even though I still feel oh so large. Anyways I was…

Lookin' like a fool with your pants on the ground... :)
So loved the song on American Idol and last night reminded me of this song. I was wearing my size 16 capri black pants...and I was thinking, wouldn't it be funny if I could just pull these off of me without unbottoning them...and so I did! They slid right off after a little tug. HA! I was amazed! :) Today when I woke up my…

Happy Day!
1. This weekend when I was at my parent's I discovered this pair of pants my mom bought me when I was in high school. I wore them once, but they were uncomfortable because they were a little too tight. I'd only gained weight since then and hadn't worn them since. This time, after my weigh in, I decided to humor myself and…

Longevity
So I have been thinking a lot about longevity lately. If you want to know my train of thought read on. Otherwise just answer the question at the end. About 15 years ago I did WW. I lost 57 lbs. Stopped counting points and gradually gained some back. Lost it again using WW online and message boards. Quit counting, gained it…

Wowza! Talk about shock
Today I was cleaning out some old junk and noticed before when I cleaned out my old fat clothes I forgot to get rid of my old belts... so i tried a few of them on and was shocked!

Another small success
I bought a dress at the end of the summer last year that was a little too tight. I figured I would lose the weight and be in it by spring. Well spring came and I was about 16 lbs heavier. Now I'm 16 lbs lighter and obviously much more toned because I wore the dress yesterday and it was almost too big!!!!!

Lost 16lbs in 2 weeks!
And while I couldnt be happier, Im nervous that I may be losing too much too fast! Ive got the weight to lose tho... started at 223 and on Wednesday, after two weeks of watching everything that I eat, only drinking water, walking 30-60 minutes a day, plus the shred, weighed in at 206.8. I went from a pretty lazy SAHM, to…

A fat-burning victory!
I am so excited! First off, I broke past the 10 lbs. lost mark today, which is great! (Technically, I've lost 14 lbs., but I didn't start using MFP until 3 of them were already gone). But even better is the inches I've shed! I put on ten pounds my last term of school, and my waist size EXPLODED from 32 inches to 36.5…

Just wanted to share a small NSV
Just wanted to share a small NSV. (non-scale victory) Friday I tried on 2 dresses and a skirt I could not wear in May. Well they fit wonderfully Friday and I wore the skirt Saturday. I had a suit jacket on yesterday that also did not fit at the beginning of the summer. So fitting back into these clothes made me very happy…
