I did it. 80 lbs in 12 months..pics!
I have faithfully logged into MFP daily and stuck to my goals...and it has paid off! Starting weight was an hour before my water broke with my second child. Making it to maintenance feels like a dream!

Celebrating the first steps
I was always overweight/obese growing up and it got really bad during college. I ignored it blaming my problems on on other things, but about 2 months ago I finally got tired of it and decided to change. I started at right around 400 pounds (the scale I used wouldn't read any higher) and have now lost at lest 20 pounds. My…

Clothes shopping!
Today I had some major non-scale victories. Went clothes shopping for back to school and bought most items in one or two sizes smaller than I normally do. This is a specially encouraging since I'm not seeing the numbers on the scale move very much right now. But I just keep telling myself that my body is changing and I'm…

Changing my diet
So, I have decided to change my eating habits just a little at a time. I tried once before and like many others, my old habits crept back in. The difference now is my kids need me to be more healthy. I'm a big soda drinker. I love my cherry Dr Pepper but I had to change a bit of my habits this summer. I was taking my…

800 day streak that's gotten me through my wedding and pregnancy!
Yesterday I hit my 800 day streak of logging into MFP. Those 800 days have gotten me through too many ups and downs to possibly ever count, they have gotten me through my wonderful wedding with all of the festivities that go along with it, and through almost half of my pregnancy. In those 800 days there were days that I…

Need some motivation.
I am now down 25 pounds since March. Slow progress but happy to just be here. However, I haven't lost many inches and I don't see much progress in the my photos. Should I stop taking the photos as they discourage me? I know I have a lot to lose so maybe it takes time and even more pounds to see real results but just want…

Small Victories
I've been feeling like I have been trying so hard to eat better and that I'm getting nowhere. Out of frustration and desperation I decided tonight to join the MFP community for the first time (although I've been using the app since 2014.). After a wonderful night being inspired I went to change my goal and happened to look…

When none of your clothes fit...
Hi all, What's your best advice for when your clothes get too big! It's not logical to buy a whole new wardrobe every time I drop a pant size. Do any of you have any tips outside of just getting new clothes or getting old ones taken in?

Fat Doctor Takes her Own Advice and Loses Weight!
Hey everyone! My name is Jenny and I am a doctor in Dayton, OH. Like so many people, I myself struggled with work-life balance for years. My whole life was about my job, and I always put my personal life and health second. Last year I decided that had to stop. With diet (and using MFP of course!) and exercise alone I have…

50 lbs down......
I've been overweight most of my adult life. I didn't know how it happened either. One minute I was an athlete who ate very healthy and the next I was someone who couldn't fit into a size 20. After trying for years to get the weight off, a new physician decided to run a more detailed thyroid panel on me and low & behold: MY…

160+ pounds down. Still going strong.
Had a great time at Planet Comicon this past weekend in KCMO. I got to meet Stephen Amell twice. Once to get his autograph on a picture I took with him two years ago, and again to get my picture with him and said picture from two years ago. For me the picture that I took two years ago held two competing emotions. One of…
