Accomplishment not seen in awhile...
I can actually bend over while sitting on the couch to tie my tennies. Noticed that today while preparing for elliptical exercise. It felt fabulous to not feel like I was crushing my insides just bending over!!!! Woo Hoo for me!!!!! Confirms my accomplishments since joining MFP! Thanks all!

new jeans and more!
It's been a NSV sorta weekend around here! I needed to get new jeans because my size 12s (which were tight at the start of this prompting...well...the start of this!) are hanging off of me like I'm a gansta. So I went and got a pair of size 10s which zip super-easy and feel great! And then I made the bold move of getting a…

NSV-I feel like a thin person
I know that sounds strange especially given the fact that I currently weigh 234 and at 5'2" that puts me 100 pounds over weight but I have lost 22 pounds so far and I have been exercising and moving and I totally feel different. I can do things now that I wasn't able to do just 2 months ago (clip my own toe nails) and…

my all-time favorite jeans are out of the closet!
So off and on through this journey, I did to the back of my closet just to try on my favorite jeans. They are 6 or 7 years old, and they were worn out when I bought them. Little crystal studs bedazzle them, as well as some well placed frayed edges and bleach spots. These jeans are cute, and expensive. These are the jeans…

NSV - Just walked a 5k
I have been walking 3 times a week for the last couple weeks and my goal is to eventually be able to RUN a 5k. I started the C25k training last week and today we went out for a walk and I was able to walk an entire 5k without feeling winded. I know this is not a big deal to most but it is huge to me. I am so encouraged and…

Made my target!
One more success story. I started from 225 six months ago and weighed in at 167.5 this morning, half a pound under my target. I only got onto the site recently but there are some people on here who are very encouraging, so thanks for that, people. I might try to lose another seven pounds so I have something to play with in…

1/2 Way & Still Going Strong
So 60 days ago I was the kind of person that only got physical activity during the summer, would go all day without eating...then consume 1500 calories from 8-11pm, and drank coffee nonstop. I had chestpains and basically was headed for an early grave. Today I eat 6 times a day, exercise 45-60 minutes 5-6 days a week. I…

Wahoo for shopping!!!
So I started my weight loss journey at the end of January and here we are two months later. I have lost 30lbs now and am hoping to lose about 40 more. But today was a great day!! I went shopping because my size 18 pants are HUGE on me! :happy: So today it was a day out for me. I got 2 new pairs of pants (size 14) and 4 new…

my change so far..
At my heaviest I was around 250-255lbs but I can't seem to find many pics of it so these are some of my 'worst' before pics along with some badly taken new pics.. I'm down to 214lbs at the moment so give or take I've lost around 40lbs but 26lbs since joining mfp.. I've lost around 13/14inches from various points of my body…

Commercials
Had a funny Ah-ha this morning....... An info-mercial came on for a weight loss program and I was jealous of all the people saying how many pounds they lost in 10 weeks. For a minute, I wished I could buy the program AND that it would work for me too.... Then I counted up my success and realized- HEY IVE LOST 40 POUNDS IN…

Has anyone had any success with Turbo Fire?
I had a few questions. *What are you thoughts? I was thinking of getting Hip Hop Abs b/c it incorporates abs w/o floor work but I'm not much into the dancing type workouts. Turbo Fire seems like something I can tolerate though that is similar to Turbo Jam but not so much (b/c I'm not really a fan of Turbo Jam..however I…

Mini Success -22 Pounds w/ Pics
Hello, thanks for reading about my mini success. Up until I lost 22 pounds I kept telling myself self it was probably just water weight & I thought one day I would wake up and I'd be back to 262, well so far that hasn't happened LOL. Now I am to the point where I believe in myself and my journey! 25 pounds lost is so close…

NSV - My back!
I'm soso pleased about this picture - I don't even do anything specific for my back and shoulders: just pushups every now and again and chin ups. And my waist is currently 26", which is also great :D I think I might be stopping at 55kgs instead of going much further (I'm currently 60.4kgs). (Excuse my hair - I just woke up…

12 weeks and counting!
Today marks 12 weeks since my husband and I signed up. I finally broke the 200 lb. barrier. I'm tickled that I now weigh less than my drivers license says I do! With an average weight loss of 1.9 lbs a week, I see this as a very healthy progression to a healthier me!

Pics to motivate myself :]

But, starting a couple months ago was 27"…

flabby tummy pics - lol
OK, so kind of embarassed posting my c-section/hernia surgery scarred, still a bit flabby belly, but I am constantly amazed and inspired by all of your stories here, so thought I'd jump in with my first few weeks' progress - slowly but surely everyone! LONG way to go before swim suit season, but I have to tie my gray comfy…

NSV down a size
I wore a size 18 jeans to a cookout yesterday (down from size 28). I vividly remember buying my first size 18 jeans on my way UP the scale....it was at the end of my first year of college. So happy to be going back down again!! Only problem is my size 18 dress pants that I've been trying to get into are now so huge…

Progress(?) Pics! I need motivation... can you see a differ
I'm 5'5'' and my starting weight was 174.4. Currently I am at 156.7. I'm not seeing much of a difference which is really discouraging. I really need some motivation to keep going. Will you tell me HONESTLY if you see a difference? Thank you! Before: Current:

New BMI
Finally broke the plateau after 2+ weeks. Scale moved this morning 1.5#'s. Exciting thing is my BMI has moved from the "Obese" category to the "Over" category. Can't remember ever seeing it there. Yea. Planning, discipline, life changes all work. For anyone stuck at a plateau, just keep on keeping on and don't give up.…

My weird little NSV, and a question
It took me forever to figure out what NSV means...but I have one! On Friday I put on my shorts and went hoppity-hop down the two flights of stairs from bedroom to basement to get on the treadmill. I don't know why I bounce and skip down the stairs in my house, but yeah... All of a sudden I realized I didn't see "shock…

Jeans
NSV....went out last night for the first time in oh...3 years... I hardly ever wear jeans as I am home all the time and yoga pants and jogging pants are just a more economical choice for now. I went through my closet in the middle of January and only kept jeans that were a little tight on me. I went to put on my favorite…

Today I put them on, buttoned them up and am wearing them to church!! Yea me!!! Skinny clothes here I come!!
