10lbs in my first 10 days!
I'm a shorty, about 5'1 so weight shows on me more than taller people (as you short people would know). I weighed my heaviest ever 1-3-11 when I realized this has to change! I've been counting my calories and eating extremely healthy as well as working out 4-6 days a week. Sometimes just walking, other times biking or…

First NSV!
Today I was working out with the EA Sports 2 nine week challenge and dread when I see "reverse crunches".... today I did all 10 without putting my feet down once! It is a small victory, but a huge one for me to share because my area of my body that I dislike the most is my stomach. I frequently joke that God forgot to give…

Saw A Picture of Myself...
... and I didn't cringe! I started losing weight in February 2010 after seeing some truely awful photos of myself. I was 194lbs back then. The photos are here: July 2008 and around 192lbs August 2008 I don't have any photos of myself after this time, as I avoided a camera at all costs! And this is me now (in the red…

Hello Size FIVES!
I never thought that this day would come! For the longest time I couldn't fit into anything smaller than a 9, on a good day I can get into my old size 7 pants, but yesterday I took a chance and threw on a pair of my size five pants, and...THEY FIT! I'm SO happy :D Ignore the bad angle that I am holding my face... -.-

Eek! Thank God for MFP! (Pics)
I am approaching my halfway point and was going to do a Success Story post then (after 50 pounds) but then a friend on Facebook dug up a picture of me from last New Year's Eve and, comparing it to a picture taken this New Year's Eve, I had to share. Eek! There's probably a 45 pound difference between these pictures (I'm…

My Cokes
Well, I have always said that no matter what, I would never ever give up my coke! When not dieting or trying to lose weight, a typical day would include 2 or 3 8oz cokes! Yes, It's bad news, but like any addiction that's just the way it was. So, I mentally prepared myself for the "new beginning" and had several talks with…

The only thing I have arre these exercise tapes[tae bo and walking tapes) which they are good just too slow. I need something where I can get my heart rate up(its fun and lively), but at my…

NSV
I used to be an avid diet coke drinker. Now all I drink is water, coffee, hot tea, and unsweet iced tea. I went with a friend to subway and I had a coupon where I saved money if I bought the meal. So, I decided to get an unsweet tea. After I had already paid, I found out that the unsweet vat was empty. They also did not…

1st goal hit, reward tattoo ^_^
So I made myself the promise that once I hit my pre pregnancy weight I would get a tattoo I had been thinking about for a while. I hit my pre preg weight Dec 3rd and, whilst on holiday back in the US visiting family, I got my tattoo. I'm not ready for before and after body pics yet, I still have a ways to go, but I thought…

Fibromyalgia medication
This is sort of a success story. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia at the end of August 2010. It is a mild form. I feel for the people with severe Fibromyalgia. I had been hurting on and off for years. Always feeling achy, tired. Muscles, joints, my whole body. I suffered from ear pain, sinus issues, headaches, etc. My…

Before and After Photos (Still in Progress)
I started at 315 pounds and am currently at 226 pounds. My final goal is to be at 170, so I still have a lot to lose, but I figured it'd be fun to put up some posts of what 89 pounds looks like. Just to preface, I'm an artist, and I take a lot of character shots for poses and the like. Since I typically avoid a camera,…

Healthy BMI!
I remember well the day that my BMI went from being "obese" to "overweight". I was so happy! I told my parents when I saw them that day...GUESS WHAT, I'm no longer obese-I'm just FAT!!! Lol, it was a good feeling. Now I am happy to say that I have crossed out of "overweight" to "healthy". I still have around 15lbs to go…

Loose skin
I have lost 40 lbs since I started on mfp and I am almost down to my target weight. I have now got loose skin around where my love handles used to be. Will this go eventually? It is also prevalent at the top of my thighs too.

If the dress is small, I MUST BE SMALL!!!
One of my new dresses arrived last night. Pulled it out of the paper and said "uh-oh...that looks really small". I figured I wouldn't be able to get into it and it would be going back. It fits. Like. A. Glove. I won't be wearing it until spring, but this is the dress (if you're interested):…

My fitness success
We went for a snow hike on Saturday and the difference between last year and now is amazing. This time last year I was huffing and puffing up the mountain and stopping every 20 feet to catch my breath and rest. I could not have finished this entire trail at all. Saturday, I only stopped to shed clothing and get water. I…
