Biggest Loser Contest
So I wasn't going to post anything, but I figured- what the heck, I worked for it- I will share with others my success. I started a biggest loser competition on Jan. 6 @ my church. We had two months to lose whatever we could. With a lot of dedication, discipline, and hours at the gym, I won. I couldn't believe it... I mean…

I got hit on!!!
I was at a show last night where a local band was playing, and I got checked out by the guitarist! My friend told me and I didn't believe her until he came over to talk to me. I politely turned him down, he was very cute, but I am blissfully happy with my husband who has loved me through fat, skinny and pregnant. But…

My first NSV!!
I was in a hurry to get dressed this morning and get out the door. As I was walking into church, I realized that I was literally walking out of my skirt! I had to go hunt down some safety pins just to keep it up. Yeah!!

My "ah-ha" moment!
When can you learn to be humble enough to accept a compliment? There are still times when people tell me it really looks like I'm slimming down and I think, 'are they just saying that to be nice or because they think that's what I want to hear?' How come I just can't take the compliment at face value instead of thinking…

Small steps
This is a small small feat for some but a big milestone for me. I have been doing the 30 Day Shred for 6 days now...I have been noticing a little bit of an improvement in my endurance during that 20 minute workout the past couple of days...arms aren't quite as fatigued, jumping jacks getting a little (A LITTLE) easier.…

Down a Size +
So, for the past month been wearing the same size clothing and have noticed most fitting better to loosely. Added a belt to those getting loose. Today decided to try on a pair of jeans that I couldn't get anywhere near fastening for the past 2 years. They fit loosely! Tried another pair a size smaller, not quite there, but…

Surprise! Your the biggest loser...
This is a story of why you should not give up... I am doing a biggest loser-style team weight loss challenge with my husband and two friends at our local gym, complete with weigh-ins and rankings based on percentage of weight loss. It's been an especially tough challenge for me, because I have MS and I am currently…

The REAL number this time!
Yesterday, I renewed my drivers license and, when he asked "How much would you like to weigh today?" I was able to tell him 20 pounds less than what was on my last license! (And yes, for those of you doing the math, that means I didn't fess up to the 20 EXTRA pounds the last time I was asked this question! :laugh: ) This…

Half way to my goal!!!
Reached the half way point to my goal weight this morning.. pretty excited about it

I think I've reached my goal.
I started my journey in Jan 09 and since then have lost quite a bit of weight. I now have loose skin and in December I plan to have a tummy tuck and breast lift with augmentation. I honestly believe that the rest of the weight to lose is in my loose skin. Does anyone have and stories they can share so I have an idea about…

Yesterday in yoga class...
All 205 pounds of my body, lifted up into an unassisted headstand! I feel corny posting about that here, but I have been on cloud nine ever since I did that. It is amazing what our bodies can do when we stop listening to all those internal voices that say, "I can’t."

Before/After Pics - 50 lbs loss
Apologies, these pictures are dated (10 years ago) but I wanted to share them to hold myself accountable and hopefully inspire others. In the first 2 pics, I weighed 186 lbs, my heaviest. The last pic is my after pic at 137 lbs. in 2001.

Something that I noticed about the Before Pictures
One thing that I've noticed about the before and after pictures is how poorly we take care of ourselves when we are 'our fatter selves'. In most of the before pictures, and in my own fat pics, the hair is unkempt, the makeup lacking, the clothes frumpy. I'm not judging anyone at all, like I said... my 'fat pictures' are…

New here but wanted to post before and after pics
No idea what I weighed here but I'm guessing 400+ This was as of yesterday I'm down to 287.2 long ways to go but I see the finish line on the horizon!

At last
Not only did I hit the 2 stone (half way) mark this weekend, but went on my first club ride in 5 months (following keyhole surgery on the knee). Managed the 73 miles, which worked out at 4000 calories! Thank-you mfp

I work out a ton, have defined, lean muscles, and am in (finally!) a size 6/8 with only 19% body fat... My problem is...in my head, I know that I have changed DRASTICALLY...but most of the time, I just don't SEE it. I look…

I decided before- hand that I would look up the menu and decide what would be the best thing I could get.... We got…

?? for people who've posted before and after pics
I've seen some amazing before and after pics on this board. My question is, did any of you guys have cellulite-y bits around your legs and stomachs and if so, how did you get rid of it??? Most of the after pics look really toned and the stomach/legs look really smooth without a sign of orange-peel in sight. I'm worried…
