Reached my first goal
Today I weighed in at 281. My starting weight was 315. I have lost more than 10% of my initial starting weight and I am ecstatic. I haven't been this weight in at least 5 years. The working out and eating right has really improved every part of my life. I just want to thank everyone on this site for all of your…

Work, school, and still making progress!
Today I weighed in and lost only 1pound and zero inches. I was glad the scale didn't stay the same (at least), but I didn't get that happy about the 1 pound loss. I realized just now I'm not giving myself enough credit for what I AM accomplishing! I've been on here for just 21 days and though I thought I would be losing…

FIRST weigh in and....
I am down 2lbs. I was a little disappointed but then realized, that it's a start and at least it was a loss NOT a gain! So...yay me! On another note, my scale is kind of ancient so I am going to purchase a new one soon!

First compliment I've gotten in FOREVER!!!!!!
I don't remember the last time I got a real compliment (by real, I mean I didn't have to ask "how do I look?" etc)! But I got one tonight and it gave me goose bumps! ha ha Sure, it was from my sister. But she is one of the people who has made fun of me for my weight in the past. So it felt really good! I'm only 11.2 pounds…

family and losing weight
first of all i just want to say how much i love this site, if it wasn't for mfp the 40lbs would have never came off, but the problem i'm having is that my family is giving a hard time with it......i can't even go over and have dinner with them because they are always on my case about how little i put on my plate and…

So excited I am finally seeing results!
So I have been on here for a while but never took it seriously, anyways 3 weeks ago I decided that I would begin to take it seriously because I was not happy with my weight or the way I looked. I stuck it out for 3 weeks with treadmill walks and zumba and watching my calories thanks to mfp. I began to see a few ounces…

No fast food - Tonight.
Hi, I for one am not afraid to admit that I am a sucker for going to eat out somewhere. It doesnt help to live next to a Taco Bell. I dont mind cooking, but I am not very good at it. And when I do cook, it normally goes down the drain and we end up at a fast food place. - Yeah, sounds like a waste of food, sorry. I am glad…

A question for those of you that have reached (or almost rea

I have faith in myself that I will one day be a thin blonde bombshell ;-) I'm 8lbs down and much more to go, but I wonder how I'll be when I reach my goal. How will I keep the weight off? I…

Down 8 pounds, and a small victory...
So... I'm in San Antonio, 7th fattest city in the nation, on my first business trip since starting mfp. It's a ROUGH day, very stressful, don't think I'll finish in time to fly home, blah, blah, blah. The stuff that makes me REWARD myself with calories. I'm driving around looking for Home Depot and what do I see? Texas…

Anyone else have this problem?
I'm new here (about a week and a half so far) and encountered an interesting problem today. I came home and was putting away my groceries when I realized I had no more room in my produce drawer of my refrigerator. I took over part of the meat/cheese drawer and when I was done realized that it now contained more vegetables…

Small success
I started this weight loss journey 5 weeks ago when my husband and I bought an elliptical machine. I finally decided it was time to lose the 60 lbs I need to to be healthy. At first it took everything in me to stay on for 15 minutes at a time without keeling over. Now I am proud to say that I can stay on for 30 minutes…

I can't believe I burned off 802 calories!
I took up the challenge to burn off 3500 calories this week. So I started the day with a brisk walk, then did a 1 hour spin class. Then at the end of the day I hopped on my elliptical for 20 minutes. It wasn't as hard as I thought when you split it up like that. Now I have extra calories that I don't think I'll even get…

Can't see a difference
so I've been with MFP for 150 days. I've lost 30 pounds and got very much fitter than I was. I've dropped from a size 20 to a 14-16 and lost about 20 inches all over. Some people say they can see I've lost weight. I've got about 20 pounds to go to my goal weight. BUT...I can't see it. I keep reminding myself of the facts…

My food choices have officially shifted!
I've been on MFP for about 5 months (lost about 14) and have been consciously exercising and watching what I eat for about 9 months (lost about 30 lbs total since last April). After a very long and grueling week in which I exercised and diligently and stayed very close to my daily caloric allotment, I woke up on Sunday…

9 lbs lost!
Last week's weigh-in I was at 8 lbs lost (since January 3rd). This past weekend I was out of town for a friend's birthday -- eating out for every meal, going on brewery and distillery tours, and no working out except for some walking around the city. I'd decided I wasn't going to stress over calories while I was gone and…

I gave up b/c I couldn't breath and bought what I call my FAT JEANS! well this weekend I pulled my fat jeans off and on without even unbuttoning them!!! And my husband said "those jeans are getting a little too big aren't they?" !!!…

I have 10 lbs to be out of the "obese" catagory and then 10lbs more to be at my second goal. This has been a long journey that started in Jan. 2010 to become a…
