Shocked myself
I took a hiatus due to my laziness and lack of motivation and thought the idea of getting back to training and working out would be useless. I clipped a mile in the falling snow(not on a boring and easy treadmill) in NINE miles. NINE miles. I wanted to a. get home fast and b. try out the gear for sundays race. I know I…

Newbie to MFP; a little mini timeline
So, I'm a newbie. Kinda. Not to the whole 'weight-loss' thing, but to myfitnesspal. I wasn't even going to post a before & progress picture, because I felt like I wasn't to the point of picture posting. But, after running into a picture I took a year ago, I decided that it HAD to be done. It definitely shows me that I have…

Remembering Me
Yesterday I sat down and tried to recall times in my life when I was the most happiest with my weight, I was able to remember two very brief moment. As a kid my weight fluctuated, many pictures of me were destroyed but at one point I weighed 175 pounds (I was 13 years old). By JHS I was more aware, well I was always aware…

How did you do it?
I'm always curious about how people lose their weight. I've previously lost a large amount after a bad breakup a few years ago, and now that I'm trying to lose it the right way, I'm interested in hearing the ways people have found success. :) )

the shock of my life
Hello and happy new year. I am not one for standing in from of the camera, but when I was emailed a photo taken last christmas and another taken yesterday by a friend I was angry at first, how dare he keep a photo of fat me. I didn't want to look at it, it was difficult and embarrassing! Then in the quiet light of day I…

5 months after 4th baby & 69 lbs later! PIX
I never thought I could lose weight and always used my many kids (gave birth to 4 plus 1 stepdaughter = 5) as an excuse for my weight. Fertility drugs (yes- we meant to have so many!) coupled with bad food choices and lack of exercise led to my all time non-pregnancy high of 196. I am 5' 7" tall. I gave birth to my…

Sleep Apnea - for those who have lost >100 lbs
Hey everyone. I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea almost 11 years ago and have since been sleeping with a CPAP. Has anyone who has sleep apnea been able to stop using the mask after they've lost a significant amount of weight?

I think it's a success story
Not your typical weight loss success story, but a success none the less I think. My 6 yr old niece spends a lot of time with me. We went out to eat right before Christmas and the kids menu at IHOP had the calorie count on the kids menu, her and her 8 yr old brother were competing to see who could eat the most calories. I…

Am I the only one who..
Jumps up and down in excitement when they can see or feel a bone they haven't feltin a while? I saw my collar bone for the first time in nearly a year! I'm even beginning to feel bones I don't remember having. I can't be the only one who gets this excited, right?

18 pounds down - PIX!
I'M ALMOST 1/2 WAY THERE… HERE ARE A FEW PIX OF MY JOURNEY, STARTING IN 2003 WHEN I DIDN'T NEED TO LOSE ANY WEIGHT AT ALL TO TODAY WHEN I'M 1/2 DONE! This was me in 2003 weighing what is now my goal weight, 120. At 120 I felt beautiful and healthy. (I would settle for 125 now with more muscle tone.) This is also me in 2003…

I Can't Believe I Did It!
Well, my friends, today is a good day. A great day. I can't believe I did it. I climbed onto my treadmill this morning and did a 5K. It was slow (48 mins) and I had to stop to walk 3 or 4 times, but I did it. My lungs behaved, I wasn't sick. Big deal, you say? For someone with lung cancer, you bet your boots it is. I think…

Spending Money Can Make you Happy
I am an Instructor in the Military and recently I was asked to preside over the graduation for a former class i had. It's actually an honor. But to do this I had to put my service dress uniform on. I haven't had to wear my Service coat for about 6 months at the time. So when I went to put it on and get all the ribbons and…

Gaging Weight Loss Reactions...
Hello! I have lost 70 lbs since January 2010 and I am VERY PROUD :-D So I am wondering if anyone else has had the same experience I am right now... what are people's reactions to seeing you if you have not seen them since before the weight loss? This weekend I saw many people I had not seen since December 2009, when I was…

Almost 10 lb?
Crazy! I honestly have NOT been working out that hard and consistently either. So I am not noticing major changes, but subtle ones that are letting me know I'm on my way. First place I lose is my upper body - chest (thumbs down), shoulders, arms, etc. Last place I lose is naturally the middle body. However, it's a sign…

Posting my first "Small Victory!"
I started my journey on December 1st and have so far lost almost 22 pounds, which is great! But my small victory is that my wedding rings have been so tight since I was at my highest weight that I couldn't even stand to wear them sometimes. The other day, I was doing Zumba at home in my living room (thank goodness) and my…

don't understand, but not complaining!
When I stepped on the scales Sunday am to get my starting weight it was 212 and weighing this morning just for curiosity reasons, I was down to 208. Can't imagine losing 4lbs I think some is water loss, but I'm happy and feeling better already:)
