Gone from a size 22 to a size 14 in pants, 2X to a XL in shirts. I can see…

If every day were like today...
You'd weigh 199.5 lbs in 5 weeks. Man it is sure sweet to see that come up! Can't wait until the day I get to say I made it there!!!! Now today was a fantastic day because I did a lot of exercise, but realistically that would be like 4lbs a week and I doubt I can pull that off at this point. But had to share cuz it…

A Day of Days, My 2010 and beyond Testimony!
Today is a day of days! December 2009 I made a pact to myself (not a new year's resolution) to get healthier, I was 319lbs. In 2010, I have managed to lose 50lbs total as of this morning! I am stoked. I have been with MFP for half of them pounds. I know now, if I would have known about MFP then, I probably would have lost…

I finally have pictures for comparison!
The only picture I had that truly showed me "before" was on Christmas Eve 2009. I figured I'd take a picture on Christmas Eve this year for a 1 year comparison. The left picture is around 290 lbs. The right picture is around 180 lbs. How do you post an image?

Just a quick thank you
I wanted to say thank you all for the love and support that I get on here. If it weren't for you all I would have most likely given up on myself, and I most likely wouldn't have lost an additonal thirty two pounds. I still have more to go. I figured a thank you was in order. Thank you and keep up the great work you all are…

Depressed, but taking these pics made me feel better...
So I started MFP in June, hoping to shed some pounds before a beach vacation in August. Well I went from 146 to 134 and looked great in my bikini (pics in profile) buuuuut, during the vacation and ever since I have not been doing good. I am back up to 141 and totally not feeling the motivation! I decided to try on the…

I've lost a Zuzu
Has anyone ever had my experience with a pet or child or favorite bowling ball or whatever, where you would ponder inwardly about how wouldn't it be nice if I could just lose (my weight in) "Snoopy", or "Junior", or "Rolling Thunder"? In my case, the target of my ambition has always been Zuzu, my low-riding, keg-on-legs…

Thanks MFP - You're the BEST!!

Who kept/ accomplished their New Year's Resolution?
The year is coming to an end, I was just curious to see how many of us kept that New Year's Resolution? You know the one where we swore we would work out, eat healthy and lose weight? What was your resolution and how have you done? Well for me, I am very proud to say that I did very well on mine. No more bull ****, I told…

Houston, we have a problem...
I know I shouldn't complain, but I am. :grumble: The dress I bought two weeks ago for NYE no longer fits. It's too big in the neckline, the arm holes AND around my hips (huh, thought those were gonna stick around forever!). Looks like I'm shopping again. Now I *really* wish I had measured myself when I started this!

My January 1st Goal
I got it this morning!!! Over a week early. :smile:

Victory is MINE!!! (well sorta)
Okay so I still have a long ways to go but I have officially gone from a size 13/14 jean to a size 11/12. It might not be that big of a leap but I have been wearing the same clothes since having my second child in March and only in the last month have I gotten really serious about losing weight, well I went shopping today…

okay - they might run big - but today I bought a size 8!
I shop at a store in town called Saver's, that's like a Goodwill Store. I went to buy some new to me jeans this afternoon, because the pair I bought in Oct (size 14) are way too big now. So - I pulled several pair of size 10s to try on - and they were All Too Big!!!!! May I please repeat? They were All Too Big!!!!!…

I changed my life.
I reached my goal after a 9-month journey, that started on January 15th, 2010. I am 5'6" and back then I weighed 217lbs according to my doctor. When I asked one of the nurses at the clinic what I could do, he told me it's age, and there was nothing I could do. I wish I could show this guy how very wrong he was back then.…

Success AFTER Goal Weight
Hi there, I'd like to hear some success stories that extend past the day you hit your goal. As I'm progessing through my weight loss, and almost half way to my goal, I'm starting to get "goal anxiety". I want to be able to keep the weight off instead of gain it all back and re-do my weight loss journey over again. Any…

Celebrating small victories...
Christmas has come and gone for another year and I feel compelled to look back how life was a year ago. One year ago, I was losing my NP job due to my clinic being bought out... no warning and yes I was told on Christmas eve day. Pretty much ruined by Christmas, and by April I had no job. I moped for a month... and then I…

Best Christmas Present
Over Christmas I got the best motivation I could want for the New Year, when I first started on MFP some of my extra large t-shirts where starting to look too tight however I can now fit into medium t-shirts. This is after already getting rid of my old jeans (which look HUGE now) and being able to move down two size bands.…

No Longer Obese!!
My personal trainer took my body fat percentage today (she uses a caliper) and I'm down 2% from last week! That's the biggest jump I've had! So that brings me down to 29.8% and qualifies me for "overweight" instead of "obese"!! I'm so excited! My goal is to be around 22-23% body fat by the end. I started at 34% body fat,…

Christmas' of years past
I have been pretty hard on myself that in the past year I havent lost any weight. I lost 50 lbs and then back up to 40 lbs loss and well I guess I need to give myself some credit. I found pics from Dec 08 before I started this journey, last year and then last week. I have to say I look way better than I used to. I will…

This is me December 2008 i think.. weighing in at about 80 kgs And this is me last weekend. Down to 69.2…

Consistancy
I started MFP about 140 days ago, I'd I've logged in every day since. Obsessive? I prefer to think of it as disciplined and committed to reaching my goal.
