25.0
25.0, what a wonderfull number. It's my BMI as of this morning. I do not think that a BMI number is all that important, but for me, this morning it is a golden number. I didn't have 100 pounds to lose but I am very proud of what I have accomplished. It took me 5 months and a half to lose 12 pounds.<---- When I see peoples…

Small success
I joined this site awhile back, and used it for awhile with success. THEN I got a boyfriend and put back on the 15 lbs I lost originally. I only blame myself, I pretty much gave up on my strict workout routine and diet to spend more time with him. Well, I decided enough was enough! I now make him eat better and exercise…

16 days in
And I have just managed to hit 10% of my way to my goal weight! I'm aiming to lose a total of 70lbs and today just hit my 7th pound lost. I also got the tape measure out and have lost an inch from my waist and hips! I finally feel like I am making some sort of progress :)

A Mountain or A Molehill?
My mountain was a molehill and I didn't even know it. To think that weight could be lost without starving was always absurd to me. But since I've been using the My Fitness Pal to keep track of the types of foods going into my mouth and daily excercise. The Results Are In, I just weighed myself. Goodbye to 7LBS of the old…

Happy One Year Anniversary to Me :)
Happy One Year Anniversary to ME!!! So today is my one year anniversary since joining MFP. When I first joined I admit I was after a quick fix (you know loose the weight during the spring/summer than as usual I expected to gain it back as I have done every winter.) However, this year was different. I have become addicted…

20lbs GONE forever! Just a bit more to go, but hell I look G
Wanted to share this with everyone, I am so proud of myself and I've come a long way after two kids and a really bad fast food, couch potato lifestyle. Now its zero bad 100% good as much as I can (I fudge sometimes). Like today was a bad day as far as what I ate, but then I took my pics and I realized I'm looking good.…

My own tiny success
This success is going to start with a major fail. Last year, I lost 25 lbs. I was 4 lbs away from my first goal, and I dropped the ball in a MAJOR way. I've gained at LEAST 15 of that back, if not 20. I've been bingeing like there's no tomorrow. Every day was "Oh, I'll start tomorrow" or "One last binge, and I'll be done".…

Totally exciting NSV!!!
Ok, So I'm 33 and I have 3 kids age range 14 down to 2. I can't honestly remember the last time I could feel muscle in my tummy... always been flab. I've been on this journey technically since Feb 1 and I've lost 15 pounds. I've still got a long way to go, as I'm at 155 pounds and I'm looking to be at 115, BUT... tonight…

3 mos & 22 lbs down
First and foremost, I can't believe I'm really doing this! Actually losing weight. Posting in the success stories (which I wasn't going to do, but a wise person told me that even if it inspires one person, it's worth it.) I'm so excited to be DOING it, and no longer just TALKING about doing it. I started around the 1st of…

10 LBS GONE GONE GONE!!!

Plus I actually had lost 2 lbs before I found this awesome app/site so really it's 12 lbs in total since the beginning of February 2011. I am so close to my goal of 130 lbs, and once I reach that, I believe I may try…

In Onederland finally
I can't say when the last time I weighed less than 200 pounds. But finally this morning the scale was polite enough to put me at 199.4. I would post pictures on this, but I haven't figured that out yet. I am getting very close to my goal and it gets harder to lose the last pounds. But today I can be happy that I am back in…

Finally out of PLATEAUville..
I was sinking fast there. It was funny cause my first 2 weeks bam 10 pounds off. The next 2 weeks were like trying to swim through quick sand. Then someone said "OH YEAH YOU'VE JUST HIT YOUR PLATEAU." Well I tried to pack my bags as quick as possible and get the heck outta there, didn't work. I was a bit sad. BUT now I'm…

New clothes time! and boy was I surprised
OK, so those of you who have read my previous posts will know I started off at 219lbs back in January, what I didn't say was that I was a 40inch waist. So three months on, weighing in at 188lbs its time to get some "temporary" trousers to wear until I reach my goal. To my surprise when at the shop trying some trousers on I…

Progress Pics
I wasn't going to share this pic but someone convinced me to. The left side of the pic is me about this time last year. The right side is today. I've been losing a steady 1-2 pounds a week since I've joined MFP. I've met some wonderful people and couldn't do it without their support. How have I done it so far? I've been…

My first NSV!!
Somebody at work finally noticed that I am losing weight! I have noticed people looking, like there is something different that they can't put their finger on, but somebody finally asked if I was losing weight!! Yay!! It is such a nice feeling and I just wanted to share :)

Somebody FINALLY noticed my weight loss!
Sorry but this is exciting! This morning at work a coworker asked me if I was "getting skinny." I said "I am trying!." She told me I looked much thinner around the middle, which of course has made my day. I was wondering at what point someone would notice and there it is...at 14 pounds down!

Sad for my loss? NO WAY!!!!!
Four weeks in and my new healthy eating is becoming a way of life for me. I haven't lost as much weight as many of you seem to do in the first few weeks and I was a bit disappointed until this afternoon! Today was our first 4 week measure up (me n the girls at work are in this together). So, having lost only 5 lb in 4…

-50 lbs [PICS]
Here's to my first 50 lbs, b/c I have 86 lbs to go. I like to thank MFP, everytime I fall I have help up. My beautiful co-workers MsTeeBee, BP, YE, and MC! My lovely Jessie (Nineinchgirl) and all my MFP friends. I've fallen so much, had so many excuses, but I have no more, there isn't an excuse for not being healthy. NONE.…

Making progress and feeling proud of myself (Pics)
I joined MFP on March 15th, 2011 at a much lighter than usual 167 pounds. But this was not the beginning of my weight loss journey. It started January 1st, 2010 at the highest weight I'd ever been in my life. 198 pounds. I'm a mere 5'4", so that is a pretty large number for me. I have a few health conditions that helped me…

I am sitting at 278 now, looking to get to 180 eventually, gonna start serious weight training once I hit 200, for now just doing clean diet and minimal exercise is working very well for me. I think I lost that whole 10 pounds just from my gut because it looks like quite a bit more from the side. cant really tell from the…

I FEEL better and that's what is pushing me to keep going! Now this…
