No pictures- just a success STORY!
So...just now, like within the last 90 seconds it hit me. Now believe me this is no GREAT HUGE 100 POUNDS LOST type of success, but to me it means something... I just realized that I am closer to 200 than I am to 300 now. The reason I began my journey to lose weight was because I realized I was closer to 300 than I was to…

2 NSVs for me
Today I was going through my closet and found this gorgeous dress I bought in college (about 6-7 years ago. I remember after my brain surgeries (almost 4 years ago), I tried it on and it couldnt fit me. I could put it on but I looked like I was having a baby (I wasnt) Anyways, I tried it on today and it looked so freakin…

I did it!! I lost 102lbs! (w/pics, of course)

Near 400 to 220ish.
This was me when I started. Ridiculous. I look like a certain porcine rabble-rousing film maker. Close to 400lbs. Last known actual weight was 384.5 and the three weeks before I decided to make a change I know I gained more. 390? 395? Who knows. I've been at this fitness/healthier lifestyle thing for almost 4 years now.…

Official validation.
I don't post too many threads but this is one worth sharing. I received my official letter today and this is the best quote ever. It's to my Nurse Practitioner at work regarding my medical status................ "Mr.White has been seen and treated in this office for Hypertension and Type II Diabetes Mellitus. As a result…

How long did it take you?
Hey! Just wondering how long it took everyone (who has) to lose 30-40 lbs? Also how did you achieve this? I'm still trying to figure out a good way to drop my weight. I'm currently doing the 30 Day Sred and eating healthier and staying in my calorie allowance for the day. Just haven't seen any kind of difference yet.…

Strange NSV's this week
Hi MFP'ers, well I thought I would share a little bit. This mostly has to do with clothes and dressing rooms, but here goes. Trying on a few shirts in H&M this week, the mirrors allowed me to see my entire back. The indents/rolls/back fat seems to be gone! There are no more divets in my back...weird! I've always had divets…

Great week!
1. I am down 19 pounds (20 in my opinion). 2. My incredibly fit, conservative with the compliments, best friend noticed I was losing weight and 3. On Wednesday I weighed in under 200 pounds. This makes it a great week. One third of the way to my 60 pound weight loss goal!

10 pounds gone...22 more to go! sorry- underwear pics
Sorry for A.) the mess in my "before" pics-- i was mid-laundry. and B.) my underwear-- my bathing suits are all packed away. Before (154 lbs) Now (146lbs) I still have a lot to go....especially in my legs and arms... and a lot of toning. but i figured if I posted these embarassing pics now I would be more likely to not go…

Accountability is the answer!
Warning! This may make a few people mad... In my lifetime I have weighed well over 250lbs (while pregnant). I am currently holding strong at 130lbs. I have to say the ONLY way I have been able to not ever be that heavy again is to REALLY hold myself accountable. When I have started to gain back weight it was because I was…

Working my way down
A little discouraged this morning because the scale is being very mean. Yelled at it, pounded it, even grab ahold of the bedpost to make myself a pound lighter. To no avail.:huh: So I pulled out my trusty tape measure. She never lets me down. We have gotten very close over the years, what with her wrapping herself around…

Amusing Comments NSV
I go to Oxford every couple of weeks to a month as part of my routine. In January I decided to transform my eating habits (well, decided in December and took a while to start). Since then I've lost 28.5 pounds. When I went to Oxford this time round, I saw some of my friends who were staying there (hadn't seen them in 6…

Dont let the scale dictate how you feel.
Ok sooooo I went back and forth with the idea of even posting my before picture. It makes sense to feel super embarrassed when its your before photo that motivates you to change in the first place. ( Still embarrassed :embarassed: ) lol This is what I looked like Jan 30, 2011 squeezing myself into jeans that didn't fit at…

20 lbs down (pics)

I however do not see a difference whatsoever.....i feel a little less bloated but my clothes fit the same and pretty much everything else feels the same. I was hoping my face would at least get slimmer. I havent really run into anyone I havent seen in a while so…

Curious. Anyone follow SELF Magazine regime?
I love, love, love Fitness, Shape, and Self magazines. I've been a subscriber for a few years now. I really like a lot of their work out ideas, food recipes, and articles. One thing I was thinking about trying is the SELF "plan". They always have a new 4 - 8 week plan in their magazine (dedicated to lose 5-10 in that time…

NSV ... FEELS GOOD
So, I ran into someone today that I haven't seen in a year and he said, "You look like you are disappearing". It felt good but why is it that I have such a hard time taking and accepting a compliment?! Anyway, do you have a NSV that you want to share? Feel free to hijack this thread ;) Make it a great day

How I can tell NSV
I have started to notice that my wedding ring is not so tight anymore. I can actually get it off now without using lotion. Not that I want to take it off, but I really want to wear my original wedding band again. It is wider than the one I have now and looks so much better.
-
who knew...
Ok, so this is a really small NSV. I've been part of MFP for about 5 weeks now and I have only lost 5 pounds. I've been under my calories for most days and I exercise 6 days a week. I try to eat most of my exercise calories back, at least 85% of them on most days because I'm in training for a few 1/2 marathons coming up…

Beat My 5K Goal
Yesterday, I wasn't even going to go to the gym. I had been very tired all day, falling asleep at my desk. Somehow, I found myself at the gym anyway. I got on the treadmill and said I would go until my shins started hurting again. Well, they did, but it wasn't horrible. After the 12 minute mark, the shin pain was either…
