I weighed a bag of flour....
I hopped on the scale today to discover I lost 3.7 pounds in a week! At first I did a massive happy dance, last 2 weeks was about 1 pound each week. Then doubt set in, surely my scale is broken. 3.7 in a week?! No way. Then I remembered I had an unopened 5pound bag of flour. So I weighed it... teeny bit over 5 pounds,…

Hallucinations caused by weight loss?
Today I was walking back to my dorm room when I noticed that the little side window beside the entrance door had gotten bigger. I could now officially see BOTH of my hips in it, with a little wiggle room. Then I had a shower. The handicap shower was broken, so I had to use the dreaded other showers. And they got larger…

NSV - women only...
I think this is a bit of a success...I've had a steady TOM for 3 months straight now. Why is that a success for me? Because that's rare for me. 10 months ago I was diagnosed with PCOS. My TOM has always been irregular since my teens but it basically disappeared when I gained weight. My partner and I really want to have…

Little NSV for me
Today I feel just about amazing!! Been getting some more sleep at night and the shred and stretching I do everyday is getting tolerable. :) I can look in the mirror and flex my abs and just barely start to see where they should be.

I've made it to the pinnacle of the week staying under calorie count by 2517 so far. I've also been under calorie limits since Sunday. Since I've been logging over the past 2-3 weeks I've only been over 3 times. Once was a Wednesday office St. Patrick's Day Party, and both other times it was a Saturday. Which by the way…

New NSV
My knees have shrunk! Has anyone else noticed weight loss on their knees? :o ) Also, I've had a few comments from work colleagues over the past few months, saying I look slimmer, but now I am getting them from people I hardly talk to. When near strangers say I look slimmer it feels great :o )

Met my goal 11 days early!
SO, I wanted to be down to 300 lbs by April 1st. I weighed in this morning and I hit it today! WOOOHOOO! GOODBYE 300's!!! The 300's was the first 100's I had to go all the way through. I started at 420 back in 2008, so I only had 20 lbs of the 400's to lose. This is a great accomplishment to me! And only 5 more lbs until I…

First 10K run today
I am feeling really good about myself today: After Christmas I weighed about 14 stone (196lb) . I joined MFP mid January thinking I weighed 194 lb - then my weight went UP to 196.8! Thats why my progress banner thinks I've 'Only' lost 10lb. At that time I was travelling in Mexico and I found 30 minutes on a cross trainer…

10 pounds gone!!!
I've lost 10 pounds in three months! I know that doesn't seem like a lot, but I don't really exercise. I just watch what I eat and walk at least 3 times a week. My hubby and I are newly retired and we want to get into shape. Since we travel 6 months out of the year we do not always have access to a gym, any ideas? My hubby…
