A loss at weigh in
My first weigh in on this site and I lost 2.4 lbs this week, not as much as I had hoped for but on track. I have been calories counting since jan 1st and previously lost 5.6 lbs and then 4.4lbs and although I knew this wouldn't last forever I had hoped for at least 3.5 so I reached my first stone. A little disappointed but…

NSV: kicking the food obsession?
One of my more serious barriers to weight loss has been food obsession. I'd think about food all the time. I mean, all the time. When I was eating, I'd think about eating more. When I wasn't eating, I'd think about what food I could eat later. If I was laying in bed trying to sleep, I'd think about food. And if I denied…

Bitter sweet NSV
So, I have to put my dog down today and I am an emotional wreck :brokenheart: . I went to DD to get a coffee. Normally, I would have gotten something sinful to "help ease the pain" I am feeling right now. Instead, I got my coffee and went home. I went downstairs and boxed with the WII for 30 minutes to get myself through…

my rings fit!
I bought a whole bunch of rings three years ago. I haven't been able to wear them for almost two years. I tried them on today, and some of them were actually too loose. I can't believe that my fingers and even my feet are smaller - it's such a little thing, but, wow. It's such a small thing, but it made me smile and feel…

50 down 18 more to go! PICS!
So let me tell you a little bit about my story. My weight has fluctuated on and off pretty much all of my life. At one time I did an extreme low carb diet and lost 50lbs in about 2 1/2- 3 months. I looked great, but my health was a different story. Gained that back and then some when I got pregnant. It was the biggest I've…

The During picture was this past weekend, I'm at 155. Five more pounds to my original goal. I'm probably going to change my goal to between 140 and 145 but I'm…

Harder Better Faster Stronger
During my morning commute today I was stuck in the middle of the train without a pole to hold on to. I've lived in NYC for years, and I've always wobbled precariously when I find myself without something to hold on to. I always groan internally when this happens because I just know I'm going to fall into the people next to…

I got news for ya.......
For this to work, it HAS to be a lifestyle change. Many a newbie will be popping in here for a quick fix, and be very disappointed. In a month the "OH woe is me" s will be rampant on the boards. Why is this? Because this is a slow process of changing the way you think about food and exercise. I know, because once I stopped…

1st week success!!
I admit I weighed myself yesterday and was a bit worried because it said I had gained a pound. I weighed myself this morning and I have lost 2 lbs the first week! Making so many changes has been difficult but its getting easier. I still have some slip ups in food choices but I have held myself accountable to those choices.…

Mini Victory - feeling good!
I have been on MFP for 1 week (weigh-in in 5 hours!) but even before I know whether I have lost any weight I feel amazing! I have more energy than I have had for ages, I have been annoyingly chirpy (I think I'm driving my work colleagues insane!). I am even socialising with colleagues in the communal kitchen at lunchtimes…

No More Big & Tall Shopping
After losing 60lbs I no longer need to shop the Big & Tall section of the store. I didn't get shorter so apparently it was the weight loss. While I have two more sets of 20lb weight loss segments to go...I'm going shopping to reward the journey so far.
