Small Wins
I've had a couple of small wins in the last couple of days so I thought I would share since I enjoy reading when others share! My first was my decision not to get the two bacon double cheese burgers for $6 when I was picking up supper for my daughter who requested BK. I went home and made our left over taco beef into a…

I used to weigh what!?!
Last winter my husband purchased p90 for us. While we didn't complete the 90 days, we did lose weight on it. Last night I found the card I filled out with my weight when we started....196 pounds (and I know it was even a bit higher prior to that). Today my weight is 168! So that means in the last year I have lost around 30…

Lost 13 Pounds
I don't have a job at the moment and if I was not exercising my weight would go up in a second. I never checked my calories and I was eating without knowing and I thought that I was not eating to much and still the weight was going up, but now with this program I check my calories ,eat better and lost 13 pounds and I'm not…

Food NSV
For once, a week after getting my groceries I didn't have to throw any of the produce out! I have once nectarine going a little off but I'm going to make a smoothie tomorrow for breakfast with it! Also, when I bought my lunch yesterday at school,I actually was craving an apple. I got a granny smith apple it was so…

long journey
Well, it's been a long journey and I'm not done. But, I was digging through photos trying to prove there was indeed a difference. Before: 2007 After: 2010 I'm not done, but at least I can see a difference.

Halfway!
I have lost 6.8 pounds in the past six weeks. This is especially awesome,because they say people with less to lose it will come off slower. I feel amazing,and healthier then ever! I've already had to buy new pants :) and might have to get a smaller bra soon too :( I am halfway to my goal,and only a pound away from winning…

Finally, I can see the differences
I guess you can say that I am less than photogenic. For that reason, I tend to stay away from the camera and having to be reminded of just how heavy I am. There are a few that sneak in from time to time, but usually they are hard to find. The last couple of days, I've been getting compliments from unexpected places. I get…

Halfway there!
So, I'm halfway to my goal weight and I thought I'd post my progress pictures. Unfortunately, I didn't take any side pictures before I lost any weight. The first one I took was at 165. I also cut my sodium intake way back right after that picture was taken. Don't mind the weird door... It's a lot smaller than a normal door…

Small Sucess for me!
I started to watch what I was eating back in December 2010 - just after christmas, having a hubby working away from home on contract for the previous two years, which left me home alone with two small children every evening, I was shocked how much my weight had crept up. I am not one for jumping on the scales that often as…

Very small sucess
I feel almost embarrassed even posting about this, but I am proud of myself so I'm going to anyway. I signed up yesterday, counted my calories for the first time EVER, and realized how much I was really eating. Yikes!! Today, I was careful to stay under my 1240 calorie limit (which I realized at the END of the day changes…

Anyone just have a baby? How is it going?
I am 3 weeks post partum and breastfeeding. I had a c-sec so the healing and moving is slow going. I was just wondering anyones weight loss experience or tips to be successful. I find I am SOOOO hungry. I eat a ton most days, although sometimes not out of hunger but looking for something. (i'm not sure what).

116 Pounds down, a few more to go! (Progress Pics)
I've noticed lots of people putting up thier progress pics lately, and I haven't put up any for a few months, so I thought I'd join the crowd. I've currently lost 116 lbs, and would like to lose about another 20 to be in the healthy BMI range. MFP has really helped me, and I've gotten so many kind words of encouragement…

I finally get it
Ok, tonight, I got some devastating news. My grandmother is going to be put on hospice. I got the news right before I went for my evening walk. I'm training to walk a 5k next month. I decided to go ahead and do my walk rather than sit in the house feeling sorry for myself (NSV #1). Then as I was walking, I found my self…

New...
So I just started MFP on Feb. 17th. I'd gone to my ob/gyn, stepped on the scales, and thought "Ohhhh no...something's gotta give." I decided I was absolutely fed up with myself, there is NO REASON I should be this heavy. I'd been taking diet pills, but not watching the calories with them. Now that I'm doing both...I'm SO…

How do you deal with compliments?
A lot of people are commenting on my weight loss lately. like: 'Wow! You look good, you lost some weight' or 'I haven't been at the gym in a while and I haven't seen you but wow! you look terrific!' So, my question to you is, what do you reply? I know I should take the compliment. I should at least say 'Thank you!' I try.…

Signed up for my first 5K
I just registered for the Susan G Komen 5 K that is on April 30 near my town! I'm so excited! A year ago I could not even run for 2 min, but I gradually added minutes to my walking. I've been able to run a 5 K nonstop now for a few months, but I'm just trying to decrease my time. Making a committment like this involving…

My success so far... How do I do pics?
I have made a pic on my profile but I am not sure how to post it here for everyone to see. I have lost 18 pounds now... and it is quite obvious in my face. It is nice being able to fit into all those clothes I used to wear but had to give them up for my way fat clothes. I started my journey at my heaviest at 257# I am 5'9"…
