NSV! Yay!
So recently my mother just lost 65lbs which gave me motivation to get serious about my own weight loss. So, I go into my mother's closet and pull out a pair of her old size 12s and.....THEY FIT...like they actually went up over my hips and I could button them. Granted, they were tight but when I started this journey I was…

Gone in 60 days!
I dramatically lost 30 pounds in about 60 days. I followed a very strict low calories, high protein diet, and used fat burning CLA, flax oil and crushed flax seeds daily. I'll let the results speak for themselves. Friend me if you have any questions. I am happy to share my weight loss tips. Before (Oct. 2010) After (March…

I'm not afraid anymore!!!
Let me start by saying....I am still in the beginning of my journey but something happened today that I am so proud of and I just can't keep it to myself! I started on mfp on January 5th of this year and for the first month I did well by watching what I was eating but I wasn't exercising at all. I knew that if I wanted to…

My first NSV, but could really use some support, please.....
Today was an office luncheon. In the past, I have ALWAYS attended. But this time, I didn’t. I was grateful that it was in a building away from my office so I didn’t have to smell it or look at it. Publix fried chicken, sides, cake, and soda. Arrgh!!! All my weaknesses rolled into one luncheon! Was really difficult to stay…

A bad day
How bad should I feel about blowing all I have worked for one day?? Saturday we are celebrating Easter with my husband's family. There will be roast beef, ham, mashed potatoes, noodles, stuffing, rolls, and my infamous chocolate cream and coconut cream pies (all the stuff I LOVE to eat). :sad: Should I just not eat that…

Made my goal today! :) (w/pic)
The first picture is from Christmas and it's the one that made me realize I had seriously gained some weight. I was in denial, I guess. Then, when I weighed in on here and realized I was actually in the overweight category I almost couldn't believe it. So, it was completely vanity that made me start losing weight, but the…

Two nice things...
I have been at this "weight loss" thing for a long time, as a lot of us here have been. What this means is that I have spent more of my life with the psychology of being overweight than I have being a healthy weight. So it is nice when i hear something complimentary from an unbiased 3rd party regarding how I look. This…

Scale & NSV!
Scale: Started out with 45 lbs to lose. Today I weighed in and have lost 23 of that. Which means I am more than half way there! NSV: Last night, for the first time, I got full and quit eating with food still on my plate. Prior to this jorney, I used to force myself to eat everything on my plate even if I felt full.

1/2 way there plus NSV!
29 lbs lost...half way there! Big NSV too. I no longer have to shop in the plus size department or stores. A regular 14 in most things feels pretty good! My current challenge is to not to get to far off track while on vacation. The good thing is no matter what the scale says when I get home, I'm getting right back on track…

The tide has finally turned
O-M-G, O-M-G, O-M-G. After 2 months being stuck with absolutely no progress I think the tide has changed. Just measured myself and........ I have lost 1/2 an inch around my tummy in the last week plus 1/4 of an inch on each arm and leg as well as 1/2 an inch on the hips! Yippee. Sooooooo happy! It may not seem like much to…

NSV: I can shop at Victoria' Secret again!
I started with MFP at the end of January. I'm 5'4 and was 145lbs. with a 34F bra size! I have lost 13 lbs. since then (6 more to goal) and my bras have gotten to be too big. I measured last night and found that I had indeed shrunk 2 cup sizes to a 34DD. HAPPY DANCE!! I took a trip to Victoria's Secret where she measured me…

Small NSV!
Yesterday I was looking through my drawer and saw some pants I could wear nicely before I got too far into my last pregnancy (Son was born 12-18-2010) I thought "Hey, I've lost about 2 inches in each thigh... a few inches around my hips and butt too.. I bet I can fit into some of these better" And sure enough I could! They…

10 stone!
This may seem like a lot to some, but I just weighed myself (I do this about once every 3 months), and have reached 10 stone, which puts me at a BMI of around 23.5, so bang in the middle of healthy! I have been hovering around 25 for 5 years.

NSV compliment
A new co-worker, who didn't know the 'before' version of me, remarked that I looked like I kept myself "fit". Hey, that's interesting.

We had such a wonderful time!! I am linking you to her blog, where there is a little Q & A with me, and just a few of the pictures. If you…

It's amazing what 15lbs can do w/NSV
So as of today I have lost 15.4 lbs in 6 weeks. This is all great but obviously been a lot of changes and hard work. While appearance is one advantage of losing the weight, overall health is the real reason so i decided to get my blood pressure, resting heart rate taken to see if i was becoming healthier. While still obese…
