Thanks and What I Learned
Last week I was pretty discouraged - had gone four months without a loss and had actually nudged up a bit. With about 20 lbs still to go (after losing 50) this was very frustrating. So I got on here and spilled my guys and asked for help. Everyone pointed out the obvious problem (too big of a calorie deficit). I am happy…

My Own NSV!
Some people may not think this is much but today I was talking to my sister who lives in Portugal and I was telling her all the amazing things I've learned while using MFP and how my weight loss has been going and she told me I was her inspiration for her to start living a healthier life style! I was shocked and full of…

Down a total of 12lbs and 9" since I started Power 90. Up to doing Ab Ripper 200 daily and hoping to make some changes with my food intake. I took pics at Day 45 so I won't…

NSV
:happy: I had to go see my family doctor yesterday. The nurse that I always see at my doctor's office asked if I had lost weight, and commented that she could really see it in my face! Even though I felt AWFUL, it really brightened my day, because I've lost a total of 9lbs, but I've been stuck in this plateau for 3-4 weeks…

NSV!!!
About 2 weeks ago, after losing 17 lbs, I finally got the courage to try on my Size 9 "Skinny Jeans". I had saved these jeans from before my second daughter was born. I was SHOCKED when they fit! They were a little snug, but they FIT! So what does this have to do with today? Today, after losing 24 lbs, I put on my Size 9…

NSV! A first for me :)
I know I should be measuring on a regular basis along with weighing but I don't. The last time I even measured myself was June 2010, I actually logged it into MFP. So, last night I decided I'd measure for fun, just to see the difference - if there was a difference bc there has been no real big change in weight (gain 2lbs…

S-U-C-C-E-S-S!!!!
I started this journey (without MFP) on Sept 8th 2010. I knew then that this time I was serious!! Since then I have lost 28lbs, quickly approaching my 30 mark. I, in the last 10 days or so, have noticed so many changes in my body! I can flex now and see a bicep :) I can lay flat on my bed and my stomach is flat My thigh…

Down 110 Pounds!!!
I weighed my heaviest (non-pregnancy) weight of 260 pounds about 2-3 months after my first child was born in May 2005. I lost a few pounds, but then when I lost my mom to a heart attack at age 47 in November 2005, I decided to get serious about my weight loss. So far, I have lost about 110 pounds. I am working on a few…

NSV!!
Non-scale victor(ies) for me! 1) Yesterday I got THREE compliments in one day. Felt good to know that others can see a change in me, even though I may not see it (or not allowing myself to see it). 2) My work pants - the only pair I have because I would not allow myself to buy more than one pair in this god-awful size -…

This time is different! (Thanks MFP!)
Seriously. All the other times I have lost weight or tried to lose weight, I REFUSED to keep a food journal. Just one of those mental road blocks I put up for myself. I figure, hey, I'm eating healthy, what's the difference? Well, the difference has been monumental. Backstory: After having my son in October 2010, I was…

I have a pair of size twelve skinny jeans that I bought a year ago, and even when i bought them I had to hoist them up over my muffin tops (you all know what I mean :laugh: ) Well, today I wore them with a huge baggy sweater over top (still scared of the muffin tops), but as I took them off to change, they slid down until…

My Wedding Dress, it Fits!
About a month ago I went to try on dresses for my wedding. If you're not already aware wedding dresses run small and you usually have to order a size or two bigger than you want to think you are. I walked into that salon wearing my size 10 jeans hoping that the sample dresses were going to fit my *kitten*. Well I tried on…

I can't believe it and I'm so glad that my hard work is paying off physically on my body as well…
