One year= NO Pepsi!
So I didn't intentionally give up Pepsi. A bout with acid reflux made me lay off it for what I thought would be a short while. I drank almost exclusively coffee and Pepsi. In February they took out my gall bladder. Thought maybe I would try Pepsi again, but by then had quit smoking. What a way to start 2010! Well, I just…

Stubborn
My weight is staying at 130 and is refusing to move. I have tried mixing up my workouts, and doing my best efforts to do an hour a day. I may on occasion go over my calorie count, but I try and stay around the same number. Is there anyway to make my weight start moving down? Could it also be possible my birth control is…

Made a small goal!
This morning I weighed in under 230! This was a small goal I set for myself. Now I can buy myself a new pair of workout pants! I'm gonna feel great every time I wear them knowing that they represent a goal I achieved!

New School Badge
I have been a member of this site since August and when I first started, I used my favorite vacation picture for my profile. I did this because I was disappointed with how I looked. I’m very happy to say that I have met my first goal of losing 30 pounds. This week I received my new school badge and was so shocked at the…

Less makeup
Ok, if you look at my profile picture, you will see that I am wearing a TON of makeup in one of them (it was for a Halloween party). I rarely wear quite that much makeup in my regular everyday life, but I always have worn a lot. I started wearing makeup when I was 12 and, over the past few years, this is what my morning…

60 Minutes! Seriously?!
I bought an awful elliptical back in May thinking that it would be staring at me enough for me to get on it and workout. Well, i really have not used it at all since May. My husband uses it and that is fine by me. Everytime one part of that machine moves it creaks! Seriously... it moans and groans until you get off of it.…

Woo Hoo!!!
So since I've been tracking my sugar intake I've found it really hard to keep under the alotted amount for the day. I've always been 3, 5, even 10 grams over. Today is the first day I've been able to stay under! It's also alot easier because I am finally healing from my toe sprain (you'd be surprised how much a stupid toe…

Surprise Email
Today I went to the Warehouse at my work to pick up some supplies. I was outside helping load the boxes, which is awesome because I would not have been able to lift some of them 2 months ago. Later on I got an email from one of my co-workers that I don't see often asking me if I was losing weight! That absolutely made my…

Liking the new look!
I could've just settled with the way I looked at 130 lbs. In fact a lot of people tell me I look great and I really don't need to lose any weight, but I knew differently. I was not happy with dumpy, frumpy me. I was ready to look like I did when I was 20, before having 2 kids and a full-time job! So after I found MFP, I…

Almost three years...
Almost three years ago (when I was turning 24), I was 165 pounds. For me, being 165 was a dream; I had been 180 about a year before that. However, I wasn't healthy. I hadn't put everything together. I didn't understand that eating only 1200 calories and exercising for two hours wasn't helping me at all. Then, I found this…

This is what YOU do for me
I went to lunch and had an "ok" main item and I really wanted to grab a low fat iced cream cone (only 150 calories but cals I cannot afford today since I'm going to a birthday dinner.) I waited a few minutes and figured if I Really wanted it after a little waiting I could get it. I jumped on MFP on my phone and just…

Maintaining 30 lbs
While reflecting over my year, I realized that I've been able to maintain keeping off 30 lbs since January. Even with some weeks where I don't make it to the gym, my weight only flucuates a few pounds. I'm so proud of myself for this accomplishment. The one thing that I've done that's different is I've gotten rid of all my…

Threw the fries away!!
So this may sound dumb to some but I was cheering myself on! I stay home and my husband is a police officer. Well, he was home and lunch break and brought his Angus Bacon cheeseburger, 10 piece nugget, large fry and coke with him! This man is a stick!! Anyway, he had to leave quickly on a call and hadn't gotten to his…

Today I went shopping in my own closet & it was awesome!
A few months ago I was out shopping. I tried on a pair of pants in my normal size 24 and they were too tight. I tried on the 26 & they fit. I'd never worn a 26 before. I'd noticed that my current pants were getting a bit tight & uncomfortable, but really hadn't thought much about it. I thought to myself, "NO, this is not…

I kicked it!
I was stuck at losing and gaining the same lb for a while and felt like my body wasnt changing at all. Not going to call it a 'platau' simply because i think it was more of a rut. Then I reached the date for my goal after really killing it for a week or two before hand, and i didnt reach my goal weight :( it sucked a bit -…

My story from the last couple of years
Hi Everyone, This seems a bit wrong to be posting a 'success' story as my very first post on MFP, but maybe it might help some people and it seems like a good way to introduce myself. I'm a 26 yr old Mum (3 boys) and over the last couple of years I've been trying to shed my pregnancy weight, plus all the extra kg's from…

High heels and shoes in general
I am tall and my husband is short - there's 4 inches separating us (I'm 5'10", he's 5'6") anyway, but I LOOOOVE high heels and it puts him just about at eye level with my chest, which he doesn't really mind. :blushing: Anyway, I had a lot of high heels when I met him but, as I gained more and more weight, it became painful…

is it bad of me...?
Ok I have never actually said this in person- but is it bad of me that I derive satisfaction in knowing that I look a gazillion times better than my husband's mean ex wife? She has 1 child who is with us half of the time... I have 4 (2 from previous marriage, 2 from my husband) and I teach full time and am in my last…
