I've learned so much in the past year, met some great new virtual friends, and changed my lifestyle for the better. I feel so much fitter and healthier. Thank you MFP! Here's to the next 365 days! :drinker: :laugh: This…

Skinny jeans are baggy!
I am so excited, its been awhile since I've lost weight, and I went to put on my "skinny" jeans, and they are BAGGY!! Woo-hoo!! I did a 3 Day Shakeology Cleanse, and seen great results with it, but didn't think it would be this good! It's a wonderful feeling getting to drop another size in clothing! And to have what once…

Lil' Wayne
Alright, so I read the articel in the newest edition of "Rolling Stone" magazine and something "popped" in my head. This guy lived in jail for about 265 days straight, and yet he managed to put on muscle pounds (remember now that he was scrawny and his nickname is Lil' Wayne); around 20 it said. What I got out of THAT was,…

NSV that help me stay motivated
(reposted from my blog - which I am not sure why I keep hehe) Of course, we all want to look good. I will not lie and say that I don't want to be able to wear a pair of shorts and a tank top this summer and not look like i was poured into them. Of course I want to be able to wear a dress and heels and not look like I'm…

Small NSV
I was driving to my optometrist's office where I always pass a Dairy Queen. I was thinking the whole time about how good a blizzard would be today. When I left the office, I was still set on going to DQ for a treat. When I got to the exit where the DQ was, I passed right by on purpose. It seems like a small thing, but it…

Great Friday
Weighed in today - 4lbs gone since last Friday. Much better than no loss last Friday. it seems like I must have not been eating enough. Went back and changed my profile, evidently my job is not as sedentary as I thought - at least 3 trips a day up and down three flights of stairs. I also made it a point to try and eat all…

Even if you don't lose a lb...
Hey, just wanted to share that I was discouraged last week after not losing a single lb after really stepping up my workouts and really doing great on my calories, but I measured today, and I still lost an inch on my waist and 1/2 on my arms! In a week! So don't worry if you don't lose a lb or 2 one week, just keep…

1 year into my lifestyle change.....
Yesterday marked the one year mark. Last January I went to my doctor because I was in so much pain. I had pain in my lower back and severe pain in my legs from vericose veins. I started dieting and exercising after that appointment. In March I found MFP. It changed the way I looked at everything. MFP has taught me so much…

Onederland - 166 lb's down!
It's been a banner week. Yesterday I busted through the mini-plateau I've been experiencing for the last 2.5 weeks. In doing so I went from "obese" to simply "overweight" on the BMI chart. :happy: And if that wasn't enough ... This morning I weighed in at 199.4! :drinker: My original goal was to be sub-200 by January 1st,…

One year anniversary
Today it has been one year since I joined MFP and started dieting. It's hard to believe that A) I've stayed on this train and kept losing weight and B) what a change only a year (its gone so fast!) can make. In Jan. 2010: I was definitely over 200 and pretty unhappy with the way I looked along with plenty of other things…

Lost 16 lbs, pics (maybe?)
Hey everyone, I joined MFP back in September. I was 5'6 and 135 lbs. I realize this isn't technically considered overweight, but for my frame I just didn't like the way I looked. It took me about two and a half months, and I got down to my goal of 119 lbs. I have tried losing weight before, but nothing "clicked" for me…

The boulder has budged!
I've been maintaining the weight of 145 for about 2 years now, and wasn't doing anything about it because it wasn't really overweight (though it is ALL fat) and because it wasn't going any higher. Finally over the holidays I gained some weight and realized I had to take action before my complacency led to a serious weight…

first day
I have eaten all my calories for the day and I,m hungry. I guess I'll go to bed early. If I'm sleeping I cant eat. Hope this gets easier.

So no pictures here, just a quick post because I'm very happy at the moment :D I started eating better and exercising at the start of December and so far I've lost 16 pounds (8 since joining MFP on 2nd Jan). Personally I don't see much of a difference but the last few days people have complimented my weight loss and have…

My first 5K
I ran my first 5k this weekend. My goal was to do it in under 30 minutes. I ran it in 27:31 my pace was 8:53/mile. I have never run that far or that fast in my life. Seven months ago I was 59lbs heavier and couldn't even walk a mile without getting shin splints. Now I am signed up for a 10k next month.

40lbs Down still a way to go but seeing results (PICS)
I started this change of lifestyle in September when my one and only pair of jeans refused to pretend that they still fitted me. I was so annoyed with everyone and everything until a switch in my brain clicked and the reality of overeating and unactivity hit home. I have now managed to lose 40 of the 100 lbs I want to lose…

Mini Goals?
Hey everyone! So I am new to MFP and finally deciding to lose weight and become a healthier person! I was wondering, what are some of your mini goals? How do you reward yourself for your little victories? Here's mine: 10lbs. down (by March 3) = new haircut! 20lbs. down (by April 10) = night out on the town! 30lbs. down (by…
