Went dress shopping today (with pics, hopefully!)
I've been wanting to do this for a long time, post the before and after pics. I thought that dress shopping for a friends wedding would be a good occassion to take some pictures. I had so much fun, and I don't remember the last time I tried on dresses and had fun. So, hopefully, these show up. The before is me at a…

My First NSV!
Ok a little back story. The end of last year I managed to work my way back up to 165lb. At 5"4 It wasn't a good look, so I decided to drop the weight for real this time. I am currently 145lb. I actually bought the first dress as my "motivation" dress. I didn't dry it on cause i was positive it wouldn't fit...but it did…

NSV
So the past few weeks have been great since I started all this. I only weigh weekly so as of this past Wednesday I had lost 10.5 pounds. When I started this I could hardly do a mile on the elliptical without my legs throbbing and me breathing like I had just done a marathon. This morning I pushed myself and did 6 miles.…

Onederland!
Okay, I think that's the cheesiest phrase/nickname ever, but I landed in it today. For the first time in a LONG time, I weighed in officially under 200 today (198.6) after flirting with it for about two weeks (200.8 then 200.2). The last time I weighed in on a calibrated scale that I know was accurate under 200 lbs was…

Victory over the treadmill
I am really excited about this and needed to share. I hate running. Well, I thought I hated it. When I'm at the gym I usually do the eliptical or bike- those things come easier to me and I can do them for a long period time doing various levels of resistance. I skate too and have roller derby practice 3 days a week- 2hours…

NSV
This may seem small to some,but this morning I ate a bowl of oatmeal with only blueberries and cinnamon in it! ( not mounds of sugar or peanut butter to choke it down :) My 2nd NSV is that I jogged 4 miles this morning! (albeit at a snails pace :ohwell: )

It's only been a month
I've lost 11 pounds, and i've noticed it on my back & a little on my stomach. I still have 83 pounds to go, and i'm no where near skinny but it made me a little happy looking at this.

Beating the cravings
I live in a part of Alaska that really does not have "alot" of fastfood options. So I am traveling to the bigger towns this weekend with my kids and we come across Dairy Queen the excitement was overwhelming. But when I go to order the thoughts of all my hard work ie working out and counting calories comes a flooding and I…

Scale: that naughty naughty minx
You'd think I'd remember this: sometimes the scale lies and masks the truth! I did not gain 3 pounds this week, especially with dropped caloric intake and extra workouts. Of course I know this. But it's still frustrating. I will keep my face to the ground and keep going. Consistency is key. I know this. Can I get an amen…

22lbs gone--(pic)
So after seeing my son, and last child, turn 5 years old I decided it was time to stop blaming my weight on pregnancy weight gain, lol. Eating right, and exercising at least 3 times a week has made me loose 22 lbs and I feel better than I have in years!! Last Black Friday at Old Navy, in the rush of the people, I picked up…

Two Small NSVs
I've been on MFP for a while now. But have really only gotten serious about losing weight over the past few weeks. Yesterday I had two mini NSV's. 1.) There is a park by my house with a 1-1/8 mile track. Last summer at my heaviest I couldn't walk halfway around. I would be winded, my legs would hurt and I'd have to cut…

Obese Pizza Chef to Male Model in Only 7 Months!
Ok, ok, that title was a little goofy, but no goofier than P90's ad campaign. lol Howdy all, my goal date for my weight loss was today and I promised myself I'd share my results publicly regardless of my progress. Public humiliation is a hell of a motivator, so I'm happy to say that I reached my goals. LOL I just wanted to…

Goodbye Fat Clothes!
Today we were doing some spring cleaning, we live in Tokyo Japan, we are blessed with a nice new decent sized place to live, but it is still small and cramped compared to Canada, where I'm from. Part of my spring cleaning was to put away all my winter clothes and dig out my summer clothes. While putting away my winter…

Almost two years and what a journey
I was over 500 lbs when I finally was strong enough to do what I had to do. This morning I weighed 199lbs that means I have lost well over 300 lbs, I feel 20 years younger. I mo longer have any blood pressure, high cholesterol or the other co-morbidities that go with morbid obesity. I did pay the price of ruining my knees.…

I've been on MFP for 3 1/2 months and it's been a slow process but its worth it because I know I will keep it off this time! Here are some progress pics so far…

Willpower
So my boss just bought lunch for the entire office. Being mindful that most of us are on diets, he decides to go with deli sandwiches instead of our usual Baja Fresh guacamole explosion or greasy pizza. Which is nice...until I realize that the turkey, sprouts, mustard, lettuce and tomato on wheat that I carefully ordered…

102 Days in...1.4 Lbs from my GOAL! Pics! :)
So, when I had my C-section in June 2008 I weighed 250 lbs (The before picture can be found in my photos...it's the Halloween one of me holding my 4 month old daughter) I went on a diet and exercised my way down to 188. I got sidetracked, discouraged, and stuck until I found MFP and started on January 3, 2011. I changed my…

10kg (22lb) gone!
I've reached my first goal of losing 10kg (22 pounds), it's taken about 13 weeks - I seem to average 1kg every 10 days. I'm not sure if this is sustainable, but I'm going to keep working and see how far i can go. Next goal is 72kg, another 10 down. In some ways it feels like I've only made small changes - I'm eating the…
