Goodies in the Kitchen
Where I work it is customary to buy cakes and sweets and put them in the office kitchen for colleagues to help themselves. Celebrations such as birthdays, anniversaries or returning from holiday are the usual excuses. An email is sent to all with the anacronym GITK. In the bad old days i would be first in line for a free…

my first 4lbs in 3 years!
I have lost a total of 4.6lbs so far and that's the first time in 3 years! That's how slack I have been and I hate to admit that I had almost given up, but just seeing the scales move is encouraging.

My New Jeans Saga
This to me is a big success and thought I would share it. Some of you may not believe it and some of you may think I'm a little crazy. So this is what happened this week.... I weighed in last weekend and gained 2lbs (having lost 3.8lbs the week before). This is my first real gain since I started on here on 14 August 2010.…

40 lbs down! Is there a difference yet? (pics)
Ok, I know I still have a ways to go, but I'm almost halfway to my goal. I've lost 40 since July 2010. I'm very proud of myself as I've tried time and time again to lose weight. But, since I've joined MFP, it's been a total difference in my knowledge of just how badly I ate before. Anyway, here are some before and after so…

I may have hit my maintenance weight.
I went shopping for dress pants for work, and the pants that fit (in three different brands) are a US 6. While there are smaller sizes, I want grown up pants rather than skinny jeans and that clothing monstrosity known as "jeggings".... After spending the morning looking for work clothes, I walked out of Ross and Target…

No more X in front!
Yesterday, after 3.5 months I have lost 50 lbs! To celebrate, I finally went to buy some new clothes (since I hadn't gotten anything since I started my lifestyle change) and bought 3 shirts.... Without an X in the size! I always wore an XL for my entire adult life, and even had some XXL... So not only was wearing an L, a…

One year, thirty pounds, happier! Pics!
I joined MFP in february of last year. Up until that point, I had been weighing in around 174 for over a year. I exercised a lot- that was never a problem because I'm an adventurous gal- but I needed to learn to eat right again. This is when I knew I had a problem. I'd been training in martial arts and running, so I…

Over Points + Extra Exercise = Successful Day
Okay, so twice this week (on days I hadn't planned to exercise) I went over points. What I am really proud of is that I made myself do unplanned exercise to get back down under my points for the day. On Wednesday I ate 2 unplanned biscuits with butter while preparing my kids' dinner and then had to hop on the elliptical…
