30 Day Shred Success... Starting Again/Starting Over!
So I started a 30 Day Shred Challenge on a message board over the summer. In 5 weeks, with the 30 day shred, making better decisions about what I was eating and walking for 30 minutes a few days a week, I lost a total of 27 pounds... in 5 weeks, and it was just in time for my summer vacation. I was stoked. After vacation I…

Small but nice NSV
Today I had a small but enjoyable non-scale victory. I've been having some knee pain during running, so today I had an appointment with an orthopaedist. He was measuring my thigh to fit me for a knee brace and he remarked, "I might have to get you a child size; you're one of my more petite patients." Oh, OK, well.....wait,…

Today has been great!!
I have officially lost five pounds now which puts me under 180!! I'm so excited to be back in the 170's how be it in the HIGH 170's lol! And I walked a half an hour on the wii fit and chose an apple over a bag of chips today. I work in a grocery store so it's very hard to make those good choices instead of easy ones!…

Be careful what you wish for!
So I recently hit 14 lbs down and had bought some new clothes on Black Friday so you can actually see that I've lost some weight. (yay size 10! woo hoo!). As a result I've been somewhat waiting for my 2 male room mates to say something along the lines of "Hey- you've lost weight" or "huh- you are almost attractive"...…

Me - 1 Temptation - 0
We had our department Christmas party today. We love our food, so I declined to participate this year knowing the deliciously bad selection of food that would be available. While they all went to the cafeteria, I sat at my desk and had my lunch. Then, as usual, they brought all of the leftovers and laid them out on the…

Started Losing Again
I have been "stuck" at 195 for several weeks all the time being pretty close to my goals on MFP on a daily basis. A few days over/a few days under. This week, I just started dropping down again. I am not at 192. I am not sure what changed, but this was a pleasant surprise for the week. --Carter

Another small victory!!
So I was starting to get excited yesterday, when I realized I might be under 200lbs today when I weighed in. I was!! I'm now at 199.1lbs, and I should be jumping for joy because I reached Onederland! It feels so good! That means I've lost 15.9lbs since I've started here! :) I'll probably get to post this a couple times (I…

Belt and Watch
On December 1 I had to buy a new size 42 belt after breaking the last cheapy one from Marshall's. It's a dozen days later, and I'm already on to the last notch of the belt, and there is a size 40 waiting in the wings that was purchased months ago. It's time to bust that bad boy out! Also tonight, I maneuvered another link…

Self-Control success!
It's not a major success story but yesterday, I was tempted to have a big bowl of creamy pasta after my personal training session. While trying to justify that I had burned more than enough calories during the session, my self-control kicked in and I grabbed a big fruit salad instead. I felt very proud of myself because…

First 24 pic
So, I've never wanted my pic taken; I think that is something that we all have had in common. After a long day yesterday my husband snaps a photo and asks me to post it as part of my "healing" process to let go of more of my insecurities. Now, I still have a good 80 pounds or more to lose but here is a picture of me in Aug…

My grandmother is very old fashion and it is very say it like it is no matter what. When my grandfather was alive he always told me that I looked fat and honestly I loved him for it! So my grandmother yesterday says to me "You should start eating before you get too skinny and die" I wanted to hug and kiss her and thank…
