My weight loss journey one year later : )
Today is my one year anniversary of living a healthy lifestyle!! A year ago today I made the decision to do more than just think about it or say I was going to do something….I actually DID something. I began a journey I always knew I could take, but never had the courage to actually start. Background: I was never thin or…

A small NSV but it made me happy!!
I had such a great experience this morning! I ran to Target to get a few things for my husband and son to go on a Boy Scout trip and went over to the Women's plus size department. My Target is small so they don't have too much to choose from but I decided to try on a couple pair of pants and a few shirts. At my highest…

Very small NSV
I was up to about 275 pounds at my peak, and I joined MFP around 270. I'm now 240, and I can "safely" climb up my attic ladder rated to 250 pounds carrying my clothes and a tool or two. I'm a mechanical engineer, and I know there's a fairly large safety factor built into something like this, but why chance it? For those as…

Difference of 14lbs on a short girl-PICS
So even though I am not at my goal weight I decided to post some pics for 3 reasons: 1. To show the difference of what 14lbs can do on a short girl like me (5'1) 2. To show the progress of what only 7.5 weeks can make if you stay consistent 3. To show that MFP DOES WORK The first pic I'm at 144 and the second pic I'm at…

Very small NSV..but I'll take it!!
So I put on my favorite jeans this morning, which have always been a bit snug, but I LOVE them. I have to work at my tattoo shop today so I wanted to get a few things done arond the house before I go. So I'm running around, laundry, dishes, carpets and the whole time I'm pulling at my jeans. I go to the bedroom to change…

My first awesome NSV!!
So my first goal of my weight loss journey was to be able to fit into my wedding dress again. I've been trying it on every couple weeks just to see if I could zip it up! Last night I put it on and guess what!!! It zipped all the way up!! I couldn't believe it!! As my reward I am going to do a trash the dress session and…

My first NSV (plus two) after 37 pounds
My mom noticed my weight loss. Yes, I know. She's my mom and has to notice these things. Except, my mom is a runner, weighs under 110 pounds (she's a tiny person) of pure muscle, eats perfectly, and although she is loving and supportive she has some fat and body image issues of her own. She has said hurtful things about my…

Getting flirts - feels good!
I'm married so, while I didn't return the flirtation, I completely got hit on by not only this cute cashier today, but this YOUNG, cute cashier (early 20s). I'm turning 30 this year and I was out with my two kids! - so I was incredibly flattered. This is not what I'm losing weight for, but man, it felt nice to feel…

Not a complete success yet but CLOSER
33 pounds gone = only 10% of my weight The before pictures were taken 40 days ago. It hasn't been easy but it is worth it! http://i885.photobucket.com/albums/ac60/juldga/wl/compare2.jpg

FINALLY!!!
A girl at work today said.. "Wow, all that working out you've been doing.. it's really paying off, you look great"! Yay me!! I can see and feel a difference but up until today not one single person noticed, and if they did, didn't ever say anything. She made my day! I don't mean to sound like I need to be fawned over and…

Not Weight Related - Just had to share!
I got a promotion! Woo hoo! I applied last year and was so ready to be turned down. I kept telling myself it was a long shot and I shouldn't expect too much too soon, but today I got the official letter from the Provost's office. I'm now an Associate Professor instead of an Assistant! I'm so excited I feel weak at the…

New to this and my progress so far...
I just joined MFP and started to make a positive change in my life by eating healthy and exercising 3 to 5x a week. I tried many different type of "diets" before but I never seem to commit to them and most importantly, it never works!! So now I decided to really make sure this will be part of my life and hopefully MFP will…

Where did you notice first?
When you lost some pounds, where did you seem to notice it disappear first? I think I noticed my face and now my sides. I'm still waiting for the extra around my tummy to go away. :flowerforyou:

Let's talk about my new pants!
When I started this healthy journey I was fitting (barely) into a size 20 jean. For you girls, you know what I mean when I say that I had to lie on the bed to zip them up. Then an amazing thing happened, I started really watching my diet, not when it was convenient but EVERY DAY and I started hitting the gym 4 hours a week…

NSV - My first Triathlon
Well, This is my first post. I write it out of the happyness and exhaustion that fills my body right now. A few months ago (october 2010), I decided that I had to change my life and that I couldn't keep on being a couch potato. This implied changing a large part of my lifestyle. So, for starters I began the c25k program, I…

Finally...an NSV I see
I have been using MFP since mid January. So far I have lost 19.8 pounds (and an additional 4 pounds before joining) making that 23.8 pounds. The scale has/had been moving but I hadn't noticed any NSVs. :grumble: As recent as last week I posted on my wall how frustrated and upset I was. I practically in tears that whole…

I never thought I'd be complaining that...
I never thought I'd be complaining that all my pants are too big. One of my goals when I started this journey in August was to fit into my skinny clothes again. Even they are too big now. I'm between sizes and don't want to go out and spend a lot of money on clothes I'm only going to be able to wear for a few months. I…

3 Miles!!!!
Well folks I did it! I finally ran/jogged 3 miles for the very first time today. I took one 2 minute break to stretch and drink some water but other then that it took me 40 minutes to run! I feel on top of the world today! I feel like I can do anything and I had a huge breakthrough today! I feel amazing, very tired but…

Cautiously Optimistic
Ok - I think it's finally happening. The weight is starting to come off again and I officially need to buy new pants. When I was younger I could just cut out soda and chips and weight would fall right off. When I went vegan I lost 40 pounds in a few months without even trying. I maintained my weight at about 125 for years,…

Finally making great progress!
At my heaviest, I hit about 240. I believe I was about 230 or so in the pic on the right from 2 years ago (I know, they should be flipped, haha). I had made it down to 205, but stayed there for a loooonnnngggg time, and couldn't break it. Finally, in November I broke through, and as of today am 182. The pic on the left is…

On the cusp of 60 pounds down (pics)
Hey there everyone! I thought I should FINALLY post a "before and after" shot (really a before and during, as i have about 15-20 more to lose) Its been a long process, and what a long, strange trip it's been! :drinker: I started walking with a friend of mine -- yes, outdoors in Upstate New York-- in mid-December 2009. I…

20LBS!!!!!
I am super happy with the scale this morning.. I have dropped 20lbs in 29 days, this is really exciting to me because I am doing it the right way, eating right and disciplining myself. I refuse to say I am dieting or trying something for a little while because for me it has to be a W.O.L way of life. This is definitely a…

Getting there.
Well I started the glycemic index diet (GI Diet) on January 1st, 2011. As of 3/21/11 I have lost 53lbs. I am very happy with how I am feeling now. My weight hasn't been this low since I was in high school almost 20 years ago. My wonderful wife and I decided for a lifestyle change and she has lost 40lbs herself. I am very…
