no freshman 15!
I'm in my first year of university...so cafeteria food consumes most of my diet. I lost 15lbs between June and September, and my BMI went down by 2 (yay!). I hope to lose another 25lbs before September 2011. My success (so far) is that I haven't gained ANY weight.... despite myths of the dreaded "freshman 15". It's not the…

NSV!
I went grocery shopping this morning, while I was hungry (which could possibly have ended up terrible), and I didn't buy a single thing that was "junk food" for myself! This is a first. Usually I burn tread getting to the fruit snacks (fruit snacks are my downfall, I could eat an entire box of gushers in one sitting).…

Down a size and almost halfway there
Hello MFP family, I just wanted to share my success story. I am down into a size 14 which I haven't been since college (4 years ago). I got into a pair of pants today that I haven't worn since college choir tour back in 2006, and I don't even have to suck my stomach in to get them on. I am almost halfway for what weight I…

Woooo, 5k!
Today I had an awesome victory. I ran my first 5k in a race last November. I didn't train, in fact, I didn't even really work out for about a month prior and ran one time before the actual 5k and only for about 30 minutes. I'd never even run more than maybe a mile and a half before -- and not consecutively. I ended up…

Butt cheeks and tip toes.
In high school and college I played multiple sports. My metabolism was high and I could essentially eat everything I wanted since I was burning in some cases 3-5,000+ calories a day between 2-3 hours of swimming and dive practice/meets and then going to soccer practice/games. Sadly, once I hit my post-baccalaureate years…

Weight loss
Two months ago I continued on my journey where I had left off in August and I am happy to say I am down 20 in two months. :smile: When I first started this lifestyle change in 2010 I was 50 pounds heavier. I may be taking this journey slowly, but I am not going back to that way of life.

Awesome, I've lost 0 lbs lost in 3 weeks
Awesome? You might think. Yes, I said it right, I'm happy I haven't lost a pound during my first 3 weeks of P90X. Now why am I so happy? Because my goal have never been to lose weight, just to lose body fat AND to gain muscle mass. It seems that the amount of protein I've been eating along with the rest of my diet have…
