Little NSV here and there!
Well the scale is still not moving, but I measured today and I have lost some more inches off my waist and hips!!!! My hips, finally, I thought they were there for good. I pulled out an old pair of shorts today, and pulled them right up with room to spare. And the best is my tightest jeans are almost fitting so I can wear…

30 lbs down with pics!
I hope I'm doing this right...this picture was actually taken a couple of weeks ago but I really see the difference in my face so I wanted to share! As of right now I'm down 30 lbs from when I started MFP on January 3, 2011 but I think I weighed 10 lbs or more at my highest weight than my start but I stayed FAR away from…

NSV...I think....
I'm just starting my 3rd week with MFP. For once in a long time, I have been consistently working out and trying to make better food choices. I use an HRM and today my "normal" workout wasn't getting my HR up to the level I wanted it to be at. So...I upped the mph on my treadmill and finally felt like I was working out. I…

My pants are falling down!! (and other little NSV's)...
I just started 3 weeks ago & have lost 12 lbs. Yesterday, my mother mentioned that she can see, just a bit, that I've lost weight! Today I am wearing a top that I bought a few months ago without trying on, and it's been too small to wear until now. And all day, my pants are falling down! By George, I need a belt!!!!!!!

Two NSV in one day!!
I had two accomplishments today that I thought I should share with everyone. The first thing was a 3.5 mile walk all at one time, I have walked 3.5 in a day just not at one time. I felt really good about an hour after the walk, LOL, right after I felt as if I might vomit. The second NSV I had today was that about three…

I went to the bottom of my dresser where the clothes that are to small for me are and grabbed a pair of shorts I could not squeeze into last summerThey were to big!! I could wear them but they were baggy!! For…

Most weight ever lost here using my fitness pal
I am just curious as to who has lost the most weight ever using my fitness pal? Does anyone know who they are and if they are still here? I was just wondering how they are doing after they reached their goals and what they are doing now. So many people here have really lost alot of weight and I think that is so wonderful…

Enjoying working out again thanks to MFP!!!
I am enjoying working out now that I have joined MFP. I was getting so frustrated that I would exercise and not see any results. I was eating "healthy" and not seeing any kind of weight loss. Turns out I was eating things that were "good for me" but I was still eating too much of them. So, with the help of the calorie…

85 pounds gone (pics)
I have lost 85 pounds and a total of 58 inches. I am 5' 10" and 175 pounds, I've got a very muscular solid build. I started out wearing a tight size 20 and now wear a 4 or 6 depending on the brand. It has taken me 1 year and 3 months and I did it all by following the calorie recommendations here on MFP and working out 6…

Victory! (not on a scale)
So I joined MFP about a year ago, at the time I could barely walk 3 miles in one stretch (I believe the 5K I did around that time I clocked in at over an hour). This past weekend I walked/jogged my first 1/2 marathon EVER! I finished in 3:29:45 (and that included 10 mins of potty breaks). I am so proud of myself that I…

Yay for little NSVs!
I started working on my diet last November, so I'm going really slow and steady (12 pounds so far), but hopefully that'll be a good thing in the long run. Anyway, this morning when I weighed in, I'd lost another pound, which knocks me out of the "obese" BMI category and into the "overweight" BMI category. I don't know that…

New Wardrobe ... New Me!
I finally came to the realization this weekend that I pretty much had no clothes that fit me anymore. I had a drawer full of 46" jeans that were ridiculously huge on me (I was a 54" when I started), and a closet full of shirts ranging from 2x to 4x. I had some 42" jeans that I had purchased a few months ago, but those were…

I've just turned down Ben and Jerrys and am sooo proud of myself!

Early success- for thsoe who've only lost a bit
I know it's a success either way, I just wanted to see if anyone else had lost in size like I had. I have only lost 11 lbs but feel like I've lost 20! I was about a size 16-18 in high school, no curves at all so it was not flattering. I realize now, after having a child, I have great woman figure and cannot wait to lose…

Hit a goal...sort of
My goal for the end of April was to go down a pants size. I figured that this was attainable and safe and I correlated it to a weight. I figured that when I was at 205lbs that I would have a 36" waiste back (since that is about when I switched to a 38"). Well, this morning I just ran out of holes for my belt and I'm…

Today I hit the 100 lbs mark
I haven't posted anything on here before, but I thought I would share with you my victory today of reaching 100 pounds lost. I began trying to lose weight 2 years ago by eating smaller portions of healthy foods. I was able to lose 45 pounds by doing this, and maintained this weight for several months. At Christmas last…

Thank you, MyFitnessPal :)
I started my gym membership at the end of August 2010 & working out (treadmill, elliptical, stationary bike) 3 - 4 days a week for 30 - 45 mins a day. I wasn't really seeing any results until I started using MyFitnessPal around Christmas; I also began using the gym's group classes (Spinning & Body Pump) and since, have…

I have been using MYfitnesspal for 12 weeks now and I am very nearly at my original target weight I set when I joined on the 17th of Jan. I can't believe the progress I have made and I have not been the weight I am now for a LONG time. I feel alot better in myself, have alot more energy and a good understanding of what I…

1 year - 71lbs gone and so much more
It's been exactly 1 year since I started on my adventure of getting healthy, and I've never felt better in my life. My blood work has come back, and I quote, "perfect," my blood pressure has dropped from 142/74 to 114/67, my body fat percentage went from 37% to 21% and I'm in the best athletic shape of my life. Why would I…

Black T-Shirt
HI All, I wore a black t-shirt yesterday. My wife and daughter thought I looked good. I'm not saying I look like Simon Cowell yet but at least I don't look like Randy Jackson any more.

A Little NSV!
It's getting pretty hot outside where I go to school in the midwest. So today I pulled on a pair of jean shorts. Now these are shorts I haven't worn since August/September. Last year, the hem of these shorts dug into my legs, creating a lovely ripple of fat, which was not flattering in the slightest. This year, I am happy…

First week, 7lbs lost.
I just learned about this program at the first of the week. I am using the mobile version for Android. So far I've lost 7lbs which is very motivating. Prior to finding this program I pretty much ate whatever and whenever I wanted, far too often snacking when I should not have been. Now that I am keeping track I find myself…

NSV first bikini
I'm turning 39 this month, so it's my 'fortieth year'. I'm sort of stalled halfway to my goal range (I'm 20 down, 15 to go). I'm having surgery on my leg next week, so there's little motivation to start working out. My job ends this week and I was looking forward to adding workouts to my life. I'm short, and my top half is…

Vacation
I just returned from a 10 day vacation. I did not gain weight like I thought I would, but in fact lost a pound. I am so excited! I guess the healthier eating is working and I am making better choices in restaurants. Even the chips I loved before didn't taste good.
