Non Scale Victory
I have been on MFP since the middle of January and have been doing great with the diet, I need to pick up the exercise a little more though. I recently tried on two of my suits one I haven't been able to fit into in 3 years and now it's loose, the other suit I haven't worn in about 10 years and it fits real good. I am…

Small Scale Success Story
So, since about 15 years ago, my weight has always been 210+ Whether it be 212, 215, 222 (My Highest), or 218 (My starting weight with MFP.) The bottom line is, the second digit has always been a true number 1-9. Well, I was shocked when I weighed in today at 208! So for the first time in over 15 years, the second digit is…

50 Days!
Today I hit 50 days on MFP and my goal is to hit 100 days straight of logging my food diary every day. Anyone is welcome to join me. We can do anything for about 3 months, right? It is just 3 months. The best thing about 50 days is that it marks a time to compare now with then. 50 days ago I was fat and felt miserable and…

NSV
I've lost 6 inches since I started exercising Jan 3rd. I previously tracked on SP but moved over to here late in Jan and like the quicker tracking. 3 of those inches were off my waist, 2 off hips. It is showing on the scale too with just shy of 9 lbs lost. Doesn't seem like much but I'm not discouraged at all and am…

NSV- and a big one for me
So I've been at this for a little over two weeks, and I didn't expect to see much difference yet which is fine. I know this takes time. I've seen the scale go down which is great and I know I'll see change in the mirror in time (don't have measuring tape yet to track inches). What I wasn't expecting so soon was the…

After all these years I finally believe my trainer and the doctors.....at the beginning of January I had my glucose levels, thyroid and cholesterol checked.

NSV?? Not sure...
We have severe winds here today, gusts of 60+ mph, but it is a warm wind 65 degrees at 3pm. I was coming out of the grocery store with one hand full of bags, and my purse and keys in my other hand. I was wearing a ladies cut V neck t-shirt that used to fit fairly snug. Well, I guess I have out shrank it. During a gust of…

Addicted to Exercising??!!
OK, maybe not totally addicted to exercise but I find myself waking up in the morning thinking of when I'm going to exercise today? Maybe its more just wanting to get it out of the way but I find myself enjoying it more and more. I hope this continues as I have been on MFP for a month and half and have lost 16lbs. I'm also…

Focus on Health not the Scale
I just looked and my calories burned since I started MFP the beginning of January. I can see how I have steadily increased my exercise in number of days a week (started doing 5 days week last week) and amount of calories burned (because I am doing more.) I felt a sense of accomplishment. I use to burn 500-550 calories…

My story with pics so far....
My Story…. I did not have any plans to take this journey to become healthier and lose weight. I was fine, or so I thought. On December 7, 2010 I went to work as normal. By 9:30 I had excruciating pain in my left side. It was a kidney stone that was too big to pass on its own. I was scheduled for surgery December 9 (my…

Weight lifting success
Okay, I don't have any pics or enormous weight loss numbers to post. However, I am beginning to increase the amount of weights I am lifting and it feels so good! (Les Mills BodyPump) I was always kind of afraid to do it because (a) I didn't think I could do it and (b) I didn't want to make a fool of myself in front of the…
