1st Quarter Progress Pictures
So my friends and I had a contest for the first quarter of the year. I lost and I'm out $100 because of it. But we took before and "during" pictures to see how we had done. And even though I only lost 22.6 lbs in the first three months of 2011 I'm pretty pleased!

Week one: first NSV and first weigh-in
So as I'm literally walking to the bathroom to weigh myself (in the nude of course), my husband looks at me funny and says, "Hey, you look gooood. What have you been up to?" (!!!!!) First weigh-in: 5 lbs down! Whooooo!!! This is really paying off and I am so happy to have found MFP and other followers with similar goals,…

Maybe they aren't obviously sticking out in every direction but I can see them and I can feel them for sure. :happy: I'm a…

I am finally noticing results...after 3 months on here!
I had a good experience yesterday. I was getting ready for church and I put on one of my size L shirts from Express and it felt a bit loose. So I decided to try on the Medium that I got on their clearance sale a few days ago. I did not think it would fit good yet but when I put it on, it fit perfectly! I was so happy. I…

Boot Camp uniforms!!
Okay, I have been crying about the scale not moving but I quit that. I have been working out as diligently as I can with 4 kids, I have been pretty okay with my eating, but I have been faithful to Jillian M. and her No More Trouble Zones, 30 Day shred, Fat Blast Met Boost and now 6 week 6 pack. Anyhoo, I had a Navy…

I love my scale (This week anyway!)
So my scale sometimes does tricky tricky things, like LIE! But this week, I really don't care if it's lying because (drum roll please) I LOST FIVE POUNDS in three days, yep, you read right, not three, not four, but FIVE POUNDS. As if that wasn't enough, my mom gave me her old clothes that no longer fit her, and they're…

My 2 NSVs
Today I am celebrating 2 huge (for me)NSVs!! #1. I am a horrible procrastinator when it comes to laundry, often playing "catch up" all weekend long. I have a family of 4 & a 5-year old daughter who believes she must change her outfit several times a day until I don't know whether the clothes are clean or dirty…

Major nsv (for me)
My husband and i occasionally get out of the house to go see a movie. We usually stop somewhere to buy candy beforehand since movie food is SO expensive. Well I walked in to the candy section and resisted EVERYTHING! I walked over to the fridge section and picked out a big bag of apple slices... Bigger than I should have…

I am so addicted to fitness now..funny how that happens...LOL Thanks to MFP, all the motivation from my friends here, friends and family around me and my personal…

Small SV! Farewell FOREVER, 250+ lbs!
I wanted to make sure I'd had two successive weigh-ins under 250 - the weigh-in last week was suspect, having lost 4+ lbs in 24 hours, then bouncing back up above without cause the following day and drifting down the rest of the week. "Lifestyle change" has become somewhat of an over-used catch-phrase IMO, but it's true.…

Needing a little boost after a bad weekend
October: 179lbs. Now: 149lbs. At my heaviest I was up to about 185lbs and this weekend have been told a few times to not lose any more weight! Well since I had a bad weekend I can't do that just yet but finally managed to get some decent comparison photos. August 2009 (about 185lbs) August 2010 (about 180lbs) April 2011…

1 yr and 30lbs later...pics! :)
I started this little project on April 4, 2010 which happened to be Easter Sunday last year. I remember being at my husband's family get together and telling them we were starting a weight loss attempt and having very half hearted responses to help with my very shaky confidence. Here we are, a year later and I am down…

Small NSVs
I have lost 7 1/2 inches in the last two months. One inch alone was in my arms this past month - my sleeves are fitting better! I can do 10 girly pushups. I am drinking water almost without thinking - it's my first beverage of choice now. That is all.

1st nsv!!
Yesterday I went to get ready for work and found that I had no clean scrubs left besides the ones that were just enough too small to be comfortable wearing. I had no other options so i grabbed a top and put it on and it fit comfortably!! No tugging at it to be long enough and it was loose in my stomach area! The same with…

1st NSV....
The last time I went pants shopping was Dec of '09. Went to Lane Bryant, got 3 pairs of size 28's and had to squeeze myself into them. The buttons were screaming and my stomach had deep red grooves from where the waistband dug in. A bigger size wasn't an option since they didn't have anything larger than a 28. There were a…
