They called me fat and I don’t even care.
So I was out running sprints tonight and I usually use a long straight away in front of my house. It’s close, it has a nice sidewalk and a it’s a fairly flat area for the full 400 meters. I know it looks crazy to the neighbors to watch me walk up the slight hill then run down it with everything I have six or eight times.…

In the 160's!!!
So I weigh myself daily but only record weekly. If I dont weigh everyday, I lose motivation and let myself slide early in the week. Anyways, I am officially 170.2. I have been hanging around the 170 mark for a few weeks now, not able to get any lower, mostly due to my eating choices. I weighed in this morning, and saw 169…

Good day today!
Ok, so I don't weigh myself at home because I tend to be obsessive compulsive at times and get focused on the wrong things. However, today I had a doctors appt. and guess what......I am down 17 pounds! Add that to the fact that while sitting in the waiting room I actually, withhout forthought, just crossed my legs while…

Scale up, dress size down!
I felt like I was getting smaller even though the scale has me up a pound or two for a few weeks now. For whatever reason, I pulled out the old size 4 jeans. Dusted them off. Put them on. Zipped them up. BEHOLD! THEY FIT! Not 'they're on' but they actually fit. I will be leaving the house in them on Friday for casual day…

My first signs of success...
My life has always been one huge diet. It's always been up and down and up and down for as long as I can remember. About two months ago, I got a nasty kidney infection and kidneys stones, so I was forced to give up my vice...iced tea. (I was originally 195) Within a week, I had lost 6.5 lbs just from starting to drink more…

Seeing ex tomorrow - and have lost 28lbs!
I just wanted to share that I am meeting my ex tomorrow because he is doing my business accounts and tax return and I am 28 lbs lighter than when I last saw him (3 months ago). I don't want him back (he hurt me a lot) but I want him to want me back. Evil I know but I guess that would be a non-scale victory. :laugh: :laugh:…

I have lost a five year old!
I work in School Nursing, I weigh and measure children as part of my role and today I saw 5 children who all weighed LESS than I have lost! How amazing to think I have been carrying an average 5 year old around with me all this time! I had not thought about it before, as we weigh them in kilo's and I use pounds, but a Mum…

Back down to my high school weight!
It's just a small success but I'm so happy with it! Getting to 63kg was kind of a mini-goal for me as it's what I weighed during the most part of high school, and that's the number that was staring back at me as I weighed in this morning! I'm really happy and proud of myself! In college I weighed 58kg, and I still have…

70 days on MFP
I went on my first diet 40 some years ago when I was 11 years old. My eating was monitored by my parents for the rest of the years that I lived with them. During the 1970's I was unsuccessful on Weight Watchers. In fact I couldn't stay on the program more than 3 weeks before I went back to my old eating habits. I spent…

15 pounds is ALOT for some people!!!
To date I have lost 15 lbs. Let me tell you this is no small victory for me. The last time I was anywhere near this weight was over 4 years ago. I had just lost 10 lbs out of the blue...then I found out I was pregnant!!! So now I have a 3 1/2 year old Conner man, who was worth every pound gained. The pregnancy weight came…

I still have 5 pounds to go to get to my goal weight of 145. At this point I feel like 139 is a good weight for my height and frame size and…

2 small, but exciting successes
SO I just wanted to share my excitement real quick about two things. I started MFP Exactly a month ago and I've noticed some exciting things, but a quick story first. I spent pretty much all summer in bed with hardcore mono (EBV) and then after that pnuemonia. I also dropped a TON of weight during this time period, only to…

Now I wish I had "before" pictures/ & what about clothing si
I always hide from cameras, so consequently I have no pictures of myself at the (horrendous) peak of around 208 lbs. I have lost 23 pounds since mid/late August and gone from a size 18 to a size 12, which is great, except the sizes keep changing, so they aren't as meaningful as they used to be. Has anyone else noticed that…

How the hell did this happen!?
I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm actually enjoying buying clothes. As a guy and a geek this is not normal! :-P I'm also finding I'm buying more expensive clothes to look nicer now that I've lost all the weight. I find this incredibly funny because I've always laughed at people spending more than $12 for a pair of…
