150 Pounds Down!
Today I met the goal I had set for myself for the end of the year. Negative 150 pounds. I still can't believe it. I've gone from a 54" waistline to a 38" waistline. I've gone from 4XL shirts down a Large. I'm down to one chin. I have collar bones, and wrist bones again. The floorboards in my house no longer squeak when i…

One year anniversary!
I joined MFP one year ago today. I never thought a year later I would still be doing this. I never imagined that I would have such success, or how radically my life would change over the course of just one year. It's like night and day from where I was a year ago. I can't wait to see what the next year will bring!

Best Christmas present yet ;)
Rewind to Christmas... I unwrapped a box from my husband to find a very cute pair of workout pants. A very cute pair of size extra small workout pants. As I held up the pair of itty-bitty pants and eyed them skeptically, my husband says, "I hope they'll fit-- I know they aren't the size you said you wear, but they didn't…

Share your tiny victories!
I'm about three and a half weeks into my decision to get healthy. But it's the little things that really make me happy along the way. Five pounds down since I started weighing myself again. Possibly a few more, since it took a week to get up the courage to get on the scale. I have to pull up my pants when I stand up.…

Weightloss in 2010
As I reflect over 2010, I'm thankful to know I was able to keep off 27 of the 34lbs I lost last year. I started January 2010 at 172lbs. My lowest weight was 138. I ended 2010 at 145. It's the first time since being over 30 that I've maintained a loss. So that being said, my 2011 goal is to keep my weight at 130 or lower.…

NSV and on the right track
Tonight, my family and I went out to eat. Instead of eating EVERYTHING on the plate, I ate half and had the other half wrapped up. It felt great to make that choice. I know that it takes 30 days to make something a habit so this is great start for me. I hope these small changes will stick and make a difference in my weight…

I'm finally seeing a difference!
So far I have lost a little over 40 pounds and I wasn't really seeing a difference. It's harder when you are very overweight cause 40 lbs is nothing compared to a smaller person who loses 40 lbs. But today I got a few cofirmations that I am finally doing it. First of all I had to take a trip to the store cause my underwear…

Where are your fat pics?
I see so many people on here that lost a lot of weight yet when you check their profiles they never have the old fat pics up. I think you should keep a couple for a reminder of where you came from and an encouragement for the rest of us. So dont be ashamed keep some fat pics in your photo albums

Mini Goals!
I have always been one for setting mini goals... because the idea of losing 75 lbs seems overwhelming to me! So I set a mini goal to be at 190 by 1/10/11...I was at 195 on 12/31/10... This morning I am 191.00! Now, I know that is a lot to lose in 10 days, but most of it is water weight... (holiday calories) I know I am not…

Staying motivated; How often...??
So, it is SO hard to just weigh myself once a week. I get so curious about how much I weigh after a few days. I am trying not to weigh myself everyday because I know that it can fluctuate based on water retention etc... So, to stay successful how often do you weigh yourself? Every other day? Every 3 days? Once a week? :)

People Noticing!
I'm a glass half empty kind of girl, so I really feel like I can see no difference the 30lb I've lost has done to my body. But, just after Christmas, me and my mum saw a neighbour, and I went to the car while my mum and him were still talking. When my mum got to the car, she told me that he'd asked how I was, and then told…
