My First REAL NSV
Ok, so I've lost 15-16 pounds thus far, and even though my clothes fit better, I haven't really 'felt' like I look any better. This has been a little discouraging. Last night I was meeting some friends at the rock climbing gym. I was the first one to get there. One of my friends that I hadn't seen in about a month walked…

30 day shred
hello, i completed the 30 day shred today. i had a few days off so it took 5 days extra to finish. I used MFP religiously for most of that time except for the last week where I hardly logged and ate a lot of cheese! Anyway, it was the perfect kick start to my new healthy lifestyle. I am much stronger and have so much more…

Great Morning to shop in my closet!
Ah it's a beautiful morning to pull on size 14 izod trousers. Started my journey at size 18. These pants fit great and are a good boost. Just for laughs I pulled out my vintage shirtwaist dress thats a 12P...The only place it doesn't fit yet are my girls, and I don't remember if it ever did. So this is my new goal piece.…

I got pantsed...
After a month of hard work and 9 inches gone, my jeans are officially too loose. I bought these jeans in mid Dec and by after Christmas they were definitely tight. This weekend, I had a lousy workout and was feeling a bit down about myself... and then my boyfriend pantsed me, thinking it would be funny. Normally I'd be…

It really is the small things that count
In this journey of weightloss I have realised that it is the small things that count along the way. For example yesterday I did 3000 metres in 20 mintues on the rowing machine, today I went to the gym and did a bit better and busted out 3294 metres in 20 minutes WOOHOO for me! I also jogged on the tredmill and beside the…

Down 74 Pounds Progress Pics
I call it in progress because this train hasn't reached it's destination and probably never will. I have the simple drive to keep pushing the limit. I started with one round of Power 90 and moved on to P90X. After one round of P90X, I completed another. After that, I decided to up the ante. I joined an MMA gym and began…

I set a goal for myself and I'm 1/4 of the way there!
I started this year at my highest weight, unhappy, and very uncomfortable with my body. Among other things, my brother inadvertently inspired me to do something I've never done before: make a specific resolution, make it big, and go for it. So that got me thinking : Why have I dieted and gained weight over the years? Why…

Week 1 - done.
Today is the end of my week one. I have lost roughly 8 pounds. This is a huge milestone for me, especially since I have never lost this much before, or tried. I started off with walking. I used the treadmills at the gym to get to my target heart rate, and told it how many calories I wanted to burn in a certain amount of…

So I have a hot tub with a lay down lounger seat that I always wanted to use, but I could never relax in it because I would always float out of the seat.

NSV Victory - Feeling confident to be out again

I have lost the first 15lb of the 44lbs I need to get back to my old weight. These are all great progress and I am immensely proud of it. However,…

26 pound goal in just under two months!
Wow! I can't believe how easy this was to lose 26 pounds in two months? I never realized how much I was over eating until I started counting the calories I was consuming in every day.

Not quite halfway....
but happy about how things are going. When I started in January of this year I wasn't sure what to expect. I had been working out off and on usually regularly for a whole year and my weight didn't seem to change. I found mfp and decided why not try it and see what would happen (I never really thought of myself as fat I…
