CAKE!!!
Let me preface this by saying I LOVE cake... or more specifically I LOVE Buttercream frosting...the cake is just the means to get the frosting to my mouth...anyhoo, there was a HUGE cake in the breakroom at work all night last night and I REALLY wanted it. So, after I had my snack (frozen grapes), then my meal, I took a…

NSV and a PSA
The non scale victory (NSV) is that my watch is now loose and once again I'll need to take a link out! I've never had to have them go SMALLER! My wedding ring is also loose and hopefully soon I'll need to have that sized too (but I'm holding off on that until I'm closer to goal.) The other NSV and a PSA is, I've shrunk…

I Jogged today for the first time in 2 years!!!
NSV for today. I jogged!!! Not far and not fast, but its a great step in the right direction. Just a few months ago, simply the thought of jogging again was unreachable. Now I'm doing it!!

People are talkin'...
The company I work for has 2 different buildings--across the street from each other. Yesterday I had to attend a meeting in the other building with people who haven't seen me in quite some time. One of the ladies in the meeting (Lori) commented on how much weight I had lost and how good I looked. Of course, that made me…

I did it!!!
Yesterday was my first full day back to working out and eating right. Usually, my first day is filled with little fails that make me feel like crap. But yesterday was AWESOME. I did not have one tiny bit of sugar, no chocolate, nothing that was bad for me, aside from a small indulgence with a skinny cow sugar free ice…

My success story, with pictures!!!
Well, I am happy to say it is time for me to post a success story, so here it goes. My name is Autumn, and I am a 31 year old housewife and mother of a 5 year old and a 3 year old.

Staying motivated
Hi.... I'm new to myfitnesspal. I've lost 20 but right now I seem to be at a wall. I'm working out 3-days a week for 1-1/2 each. I am watching what I eat but the weight is not dropping as it was. Our group has been doing more strength training; could this be why? Motivation, motivation, motivation.

The Mother of all NSV's at least to me.
October 31st, 2010 I had reached my peak of portliness at 5'8" and a profound 284# I was out of shape, sick and well on my way to an early grave. I started having issues with everything from cognitive reasoning to walking from my car into my work; a whopping 1600 feet or so. So, I half-heartedly started losing a little…

Down 15 pounds
Well, 14 as of this morning, but I'm back to my college weight. About 5 more to go then lots of work to do with toning. But I have to say that I'm pretty happy so far. I have my progress pics in my photos on my page. Sorry, I'm in my bra and underwear in one of them. I don't have any better before pictures because I hated…

High Flying NSV
Yesterday, despite the fact that I was 50+ lbs and 25+ years old than anyone else in the class, I participated in an aerial training class on the trapeze and aerial silks. It took some help to get my behind hoisted BUT I wasn't the only one that needed to be helped. It was the most fun I've ever had that didn't involve sex…

NSV for Me :)
Just gotta get it out!! A few months ago I couldn't get through but about 5 minutes on the stairclimber....I'd go for 1 minute intervals, pause it and rest for 30 seconds and start going again. And by the time those 5 minutes were up I was huffin' and puffin! So pitiful. I just did 18 minutes without stopping, and without…

Small Success!
I didn't go to the gym yesterday. Then, last night I went out with hubby and we had a few drinks and shared a cheese plate. I definitely went over by a few hundred calories. Instead of feeling guilty, I just enjoyed it, and then woke up early this morning and went to the gym for an hour. I'm learning to have some…

Tricked into a NSV
So the other day me and a good friend went shopping and she was helping me pick out clothes I would grab a shirt and then for some mysterious reason she asked to hold all the clothes. Now mind you she never carries anything she even makes me carry her purse (Which is a real cb cause it just screams this is my man lol) so I…

Losing body fat
I'm a newer member who lost about 28 lbs between July and November through diet alone. 10 weeks ago I began a fitness challenge at work and weighed in at 148.4 lbs with 35.2% body fat. I am 43 yrs old, and 5'10 1/2". I started out doing Kathy Smith pilates and walking DVDs and recently started doing Jillian Michaels ripped…

It's worth the wait!
Okay so I usually have very little will power (okay, no will power) to not use my measuring tape. Today I did, for the first time since March 13. I've lost about 8-9lbs since then. As you'll see, I measure my belly in about 4 places. I had a baby in December, so that's why. I have a "c section pooch" I'm getting rid of…

P90X: Round 1 Complete!
Well I did it, I actually did it! I finished the infamous P90X. I am VERY thrilled with my results. I didn't have my nutrition right for about half of it. Then I started using this wonderful site and things really started to change for me. So, I have begun a second round that should rock even harder now that my nutrition…

More NSV's!
I had a visit at work from a collegue that inspects some of what we do to make sure standards are maintained etc. I used to work with her at a different location but we only get to bump into each other now and again. But she noticed the weight loss! It was great got to tell her all about MFP, maybe she will join herself…

Look who is healthy now !!!
Today is the day that I reached a "healthy'" BMI reading based on my height and my weight. Just over 11 months ago I was in the Obsese range, then moved to Over and now am in Healthy. Thank you Myfitnesspal for a great tool and a great community of men and women who are committed to becoming healthy for the rest of their…

Medical NSV
I've actually been meaning to post this for a while, but kept forgetting so I'm finally getting around to it. In December 2010, one of the triggers for me starting to exercise and lose weight was a visit to the doctor. I have a family history of high cholesterol and we all know the potential dangers that come along with…

Halfway there- pictures.
I have reached the midway point for my weight loss. I didn't see much of a difference until I took these today and compared them... I never had the intentions of sharing my before ones, and it is kind of embarrassing. But here they are. Also, I am sick today. Don't make fun of my awesome shorts.

A small NSV :)
The last time I played tennis I couldn't run for the ball or leap to hit it, had to take several sit down breaks, couldn't breathe at all, and after an hour of that I was so done. Fast forward a year - today. 2+ hours of straight through non-stop tennis with no sit down breaks, did not get winded, was leaping to hit the…
