MY JEANS FIT!!!
And they're comfortable. I would even venture to say I should purchase a belt >_> It's the small things that make me happy. This is the first sign of weight loss. I refuse to weigh myself for the first month (I really don't want to see that number go up as I undoubtedly gained muscle). I think I deserve a cookie today…

My first success....
Well just had my first week. Lost 6lb apparently. I think my scales are broken, no way could that be right. Thought you were only supposed to lose 2.

My first 5K - and I got congratulated by a former BL contest
I did my first 5K today to benefit the victims (and their families) of the tragic shooting here in Tucson. I was only planning to walk it, but then I decided to try to run as much as I could. I ran in short bursts and walked for a minute or two to catch my breath - probably around 60% walking. 40% running - a BIG…

How much did YOU lose?
Just wondering how much everyone lost in their first month? And, did the weight loss slow down aster the first month? I've been doing this for a little under a month and I'm down 15 and I'm wondering if I should expect the weightloss to show down? I lost 5 my first week and around 3 every week after.

Okay so week 2 is over, and a good result, lost 3lb again, and I feel a lot better for it, I've been to the Gym 4 times this week and swapped some driving for walking (local shops and friends) I've been under my calories every day but still eating, I've just swapped any kind of treat for fruit. I had 2 days where I nearly…

A recognizable achievement for me.
I noticed lately that my calves were getting smaller and more toned (due to avoiding the elevator I presume) and thought I'd get out a tape measure. I was shocked! The measurement is down to 19" which is a little over an inch down since September 2010 and 2 whole inches since beginning last February. I've been somewhat…

31lbs down...so far!
I hope this works.... The pictures are horrible but I'm very proud of the fact that I have a neck again!

It's all on me now!!!
4 years ago I hadn't had any children yet. The lightest I ever remember weighing as an adult is 174lbs. I weighed this when I found out that I was pregnant about 4 years ago. AND TODAY, this morning, I weighed in and I officially weigh 174lbs again! From this point on I will never be able to say that I am heavy because I…

New personal record!!!
Hey all! I would like to start by saying this: A few months ago I could only run mile straight through and would have to walk xD and it was about a 10-11 min mile And as of this week I can now run a 7:30 mile if I give it my all! But thats not the personal record that I broke.... Today I ran my first 10k all the way…

A mini victory - my old rival the jeans...
Just over a year ago from today, bordering at 210 lbs, I was in the fitting rooms battling it out with a pair of UK size 12 j(USA size 10) jeans. A sample of the thoughts I conjured up to myself were "when did I put on so much weight?" "I swear I was a size 12 just the other day" and "the sizing in this shop must be wrong.…

I did it! :D I got to my goal weight!
So today I got on the scale and I finally saw the number 135. :noway: This is my goal weight... I don't know what to do now that I don't need to lose anymore weight, haha. This is the lowest that I've been since 7th grade. My senior year of high school I was up to 170 lbs and that was considered overweight. Today, I looked…

I Used to Be Fat on MTV
Does anyone else watch that show? I just finished watching mackenzie's episode. It was really inspiring! I've watched a few episodes now. I'm really envious of those who can lose that much weight! I want to be like them haha. If anyone has any tips let me know!

Overcome the Craving!!
My office had Panera bagels and cream cheese this morning when I got in (a major weakness for me) and I have gone the entire day without eating one even tho there are still some left! I was so proud of myself since I have a huge problem saying no to cravings (especially convenient ones) and I knew there must be a lot of…

Almost there. 11 pounds to go
An almost side by side comparison. The "Before" photograph was taken in February 2008 at my brother's wedding. I put on about another 14 pounds after that photograph before I decided to try and lose weight. I'm now back to the weight I was about 10 years ago. Taken this evening. Edit: Ok, second attempt

Needed to share.. Proud of myself!
I just ran a mile!!!!! I know that for many this may be a drop in the bucket, but for me this is HUGE! Last year at this time I was on week 3 or 4 of C25K and running 3 mins was Hard for me. I haven't ran a mile since High School... (plus I usually cheated by walking spurts) More NSV for me, I have lost 2 inches on my…
