Update...half way to first goal! Pics!
June of last year this dress was so tight I had a hard time walking/breathing while wearing it. Again....first picture was taken almost exactly one year ago! Wish I would've found MFP sooner, but I don't think I've done too bad for 11 weeks. (Notice how uncomfortable I am in first picture? Hated myself...learning to love…

First NSV
I went shopping this past weekend with my daughter for a new spring coat. I started trying on coats and my daughter kept saying she didn't like any of them. I was really getting discouraged when my daughter said, "I know what's wrong, all of the coats are way too big on you. Try going down a size." I had been trying on all…

Climbing a mountain
Yesterday I had this great idea to climb Mt. Ascutney in VT. It was a beautiful, 75 degree day so why not enjoy the outdoors in a healthy way, right? There is something to be said for those who mountain climb on a regular basis, I applaud those who do. 3 miles up and 3 miles down doesn't seem hard when talking about it but…

Addicted to Food
I realized a couple of weeks ago that I am, without a doubt, addicted to food. When the realization hit me I was kinda in shock and wanted to doubt myself but I can't deny it any longer....I am an addict and my fix is FOOD!!! I hate being like this. Why me? But at the same time I know I have an addictive personality so…

Day 128 50 reasons I love MFP
Today, day 128 I stepped on the scale and it was 50 lbs down!!! Sorry no pictures, I still have a long journey ahead, but I am ready to hit it head on.

Down 60 pounds almost to goal!! *pics*
It has been a very long and hard journey. I've been working on my healthy lifestyle since January 2010. I've had a lot of ups and downs but the important thing is I stuck with it. I have experimented with lots of different exercises and calorie intake. I have learned a lot. I have been sick so I haven't worked out the past…

Pics or I hope so!
So I have been on this journey since January 3, 2011. I started with a fruit cleanse which I did for 11 days. I truly believe doing that helped to clean my body out and get rid of addictions. After I did the cleanse I also made a decision to stop eating meat. I still eat fish but no other meat products. I have been a…

Small but strange NSV :)
Since I am a single mom, my 2 girls and live in a small 2 BR apt and of course this means my girls sleep in bunk beds. Since I bought them 2 1/2 yrs ago when my youngest outgrew her toddler bed I have DREADED changing the sheets on the top bunk. It can't be done without climbing on top of the beds and every time I do it I…

30 day before/after photos
Hey all. A tad bit embarrassing here but here are a couple of photos of my progress. The before and after photos were taken exactly 30 days apart. We have been doing Bob Harper's Pure Burn/ Super Strength (the 67 minute one) and the Couch to 5k program. We have been running for about 2 weeks now. I have lost 26 lbs so far.…

NSV - Silly little things that say "this is working"
This morning, I reached over to turn off my mobile phone alarm, and couldn't find it on my bedside table. Normally, it's simply at the extent of my reach - but this morning I realised I was more flexible than I used to be and my hand had gone "past" the phone. Running intervals, I realised that my heart rate is now…

NSV 5K
Hi All, I started my weightloss journey in January, and started Couch to 5K in February. In March I ran my first 5K, (was not done with C25K, maybe on week 5 or 6) and ran it in 31:39. I was so proud of my time and the fact that I ran 3.2 miles without stopping once. Since then I have finished the C25K, and upped my runs…

How Should I Reward Myself
:tongue: I recently achieved my weight loss goal for the month in a little over two weeks of careful eating and intense exercise. I was going to give myself a reward to keep pushing to the next goal. My thoughts: a new boxing speed bag for a better workout or a $20 itunes card to get more great workout songs on the ipod.…

NSV - Good Morning Legs
I'm 5'8" and have heard about how some guys love long legged women. I've never thought of myself as having long legs. My width must have been something of a negative optical illusion, I guess. I've been sleeping in a tank and underwear so that when I get up in the morning I can weight myself right after going to the…
