Funny NSV
I was sitting down and dropped something. My automatic reaction to that is always to quickly put my knees together so that I can catch said dropped item in my lap. But this time, it dropped right through the gap between my thighs, even though my knees were touching! Okay, so it was a small item, but still, a year ago,…

2 people, 3.5 months, 85 pounds! (with pics)
After my bridal shower yesterday, my mom told me that numerous people had come up to her and commented on my loss. Rationally, I know I've lost a bunch of weight, but when I see myself every day, sometimes it's hard to see the real difference. So last night, I created a side-by-side of pictures from Christmas and my bridal…

Can't believe it's working...
Hi all, Started 24th Feb @ 15 stone, where I was for years; now, 7 weeks later, just under 14 stone. About 15 pounds lost for any non-Brits. 5'11 tall. Supposed ideal weight, according to charts no more than 12 1/2 stone, but that sounds a bit skinny to me. Anyway it's great to get into trousers I haven't been able to for…

My 30-day shred results (with pics)
I have finally completed 30-day shred. This was my second time doing it, and I never got to level 3 because my daughter was in the hospital for 10 days (on a ventilator for 6 days). When she was released from the hospital, I decided to start over. Now, I did take a week off due to personal issues. Anyway here are the…

My journey with myfitnesspal
I have spent my whole adult life going thin, fat, thin, fat. I have tried every diet going with varying degrees of success. What I have found to be true for me is that there is no miracle diet which will make you slim for life. It's all about the individuals drive and determination and state of mind. My problems have…

Woohoo!

After spending awhile looking at the menu looking at all my old favourites, pizza, fish and chips, burgers and even slightly justifying the decision to perhaps have them... I will only eat half, I wont have much for…

Getting easier to be lazy

I know part of it is because i have to worry less about fat rolls as I go down in pant sizes the only problem i'm really having is my pants not staying on hm. anyone else…

I'm a little late but half way with pictures
I have seen so many before and after pictures that I was so motivated to show my half way pictures. In January I was looking at myself in some pictures from Christmas and I couldn't believe how much weight I had put on. I knew I was overweight, I just didn't realize how much. So my husband and I both started dieting and…

NSV - Plus -30 with pic
NSV for me today. Went shopping and everything in my size range was far too big, so I bought a super cute Twins shirt in a regular (not plus) size xl from the grocery store of all places. Got it for a goal shirt. Tried it on and it is a bit tight, but not sausage-like tight as I expected! :drinker: Okay, so here is my…

How I know things are working- NSV
Soi had to go jean shopping, which as you all know is not a feat that anybody wants to do.... But I had to do and I took my mother for moral support. And she was great! We found a lot of great styles of jeans and even though I had to go up a couple sizes, this is comparing to freshman year of college mind you,the jeans…

The next NSV
So I know this is a small NSV, but it means a lot to me. I just got done playing 2 hours of my favorite sport. Started as 1 on 1 and finished as 3 on 3. Half court basketball! I love playing basketball. I was drenched by the end and my legs feel like lead so I know I expended a good bit of energy. Can't wait to play again!
