I'm just fat!!
I have finally beat the obese stage! I have been considered obese for probably about 6 years and didn't really ever think I would have the willpower and motivation to do anything about it. I tried many things- weight watchers, joining a gym, atkins- you name it. I finally decided in October that I didn't want to go on…

Yay!
I am 5 foot 3 and my "happy" weight is 125. Since July I have gained 10 pounds and got to 139 through diligent beer drinking and crappy diet. I have cleaned up my act and in the past 4 weeks have lost 3 pounds, 3 inches, and 1% body fat. It may not sound like much, but for me it is. My body doesn't seem to want to shed…

Once a week...
In April of last year, i started a new weekly goal. I do something new each week. It helps me alot because i get out of ruts and explore new things. Sometimes its something i am afraid of, others its something that i am too lazy to do. Not all of them are the healthiest or smartest but the fact that i do them is what…

down 30 pounds, pics
I was going to wait until I hit my halfway goal of 50 pounds before I posted pictures, but I'm at 30 and feel like I could use a little pick-me-up so I'm going to go ahead and do it now. (I have never posted pictures before so I hope I do it right!) My husband and I started this journey October 18, 2010. I don't have a sad…

i failed and i didn't do wrong :(
3 pound weight gain after 2 weeks. what the hell. I've never been so surprised... I was just thinking if anything I'd maintain. But I'm at a loss for words. I'm thinking I need to weight myself more often and see how my body reacts to the food? I have no idea what to do all i wanted was to drop 5 more pounds

Non weight-related goal met!
One of my biggest goals for my weight loss is to be able to really keep up with my two kids (3 and 2 years). I used to drive my kids to the park, and sit on the bench ever opportunity I could get. My son always wanted me to push him on the swing, but after 10 minutes I would just want to sit down. I couldn't wait to go…

25 and counting...
I have been working on losing weight since August 2010. I finally reached my first mini goal of losing 25 lbs! I didn't really notice much of a difference until I put the pictures side-by-side. I thought I could show people as an inspiration. I didn't cut sweets or sodas out of my diet. I did limit them though. I do cardio…

I'm starting my fifth week and I have finally shed 5 pounds. I has such a huge smile on my face. I thought there was no hope...I had only lost 1lb then gained 4lbs(which I'm still trying to figure out how). My mother gave me a challenge to cleanse my body of all bad toxins. So for a week I ate nothing but fruits and…

Success.failure.success.failure
I've never been a thin person but I've always wondered what it would be like. I thought once I drop 100 pounds I'll be happier, healthier and I'll like myself more. Well wouldn't you know it... I lost almost 20 pounds and I was feeling great! Then over the last 3 or 4 days I've begun to undo it... Eating nearly 5000 cals a…

NSV - New Coat *PIC*
My dear hubby cannot wait to give people presents and, as such, he gave me my Valentine's Day present early. Why is this a NSV, you ask?? Well, because my spiffy new coat is a size LARGE...not an XL. I can't remember the last time I wore a Large coat and was able to zip it up and sit down comfortably!!! I'm so happy to be…

It is the little things.....
Sometimes it is the little things that really show you that it is worth it (especially when the scale is refusing to budge!) 1. When your stomach sticks out less than your width( when looking in the mirror) 2. When you no longer have to fill the bathtub to the top to cover your belly. 3. When the tendons stand out in your…

Double-edged Sword of Success
Since I started my wellness journey about 4.5 years ago, my life is completely, 100% different. I don't really know where to start describing it. I guess the main differences from then (October 2006) to now are: -THEN: I used drugs or drank every day, I smoked cigarettes, and chewed tobacco. NOW: l no longer use any of…

40lbs gone forever! 50% of my journey :)
Hi everyone, I am new to MFP, so I thought I would share the progress I made pre-MFP. I lost 40lbs just by modifying my diet, cutting my calories to around 1200 a day. I just recently started working out, and have since lost another 4lbs! I am super excited about the changes I am seeing in my body, both physically and also…

NSV! Someone Noticed!
I have been stuck in a plateau for almost 2 1/2 weeks now but I'm still motivated to keep moving forward. Last night was my splurge night so I went to my favorite place to eat, "Baja Fresh Mexcian Grill", the ladies that normaly work there had told me that they almost didn't regonize me that it looked like I had lost…

Finally Seeing Results!
I didn't have much weight to lose (10-12 lbs), and didn't know my "official" starting weight, so I put my beginning weight as my first formal weigh-in, after I'd probably already lost about 2-3 pounds. I'm petite and have a small frame, so even that little bit extra on me, MATTERS. Like a lot of people, the weight is…

Let's BRAG!
What is something that you have accomplished or feel great about that happened this last week about your health that you would love to scream about on the top of the mountains? Mine: My husband was rubbing my tummy this morning and said, "Honey, your stomach is getting so flat!" Oh God I love him so! :)

Bye Bye 21 pounds
I just wanted to share my before and after photos. After I had my children my body totally changed. I lost muscle mass, gained about 10 pounds, and just felt worn out and run down. I decided to start my fitness journey one year ago. The before pic was taken 2.5 years ago, about 5 months after I had my second child. I was…
