Almost there!!!
Well, January of this year I weighed in at 202 lbs. which for a 6'0" tall male is not terrible, but not good either. As of today, I am now down to 180.8 lbs. - so I've lost 21.2 lbs. to date. My original goal was to get to 175 lbs. but I may adjust this to 165 or 170 lbs. accordingly. It's been a tough and challengin road,…

Newbie: June 180, Oct 165, Oct 165, Today 163-YES!
I am on my way, I'm doing 'better' because of mfp! I was stuck at 165 for a month (: bummer. Watching my intake on the chart and my APP is great! I have changed my goal from 155 to 145 - YIKES I haven't weighed that since 1984 ( except after back surgery 5 years ago) I wonder if I will have sagging skin draped on my body?

Another small success!
I put on a pair of jeans I haven't worn in months, and I didn't have to do 2 hours of gymnastic-like moves to loosen them up and make them fit properly! They were baggy in the same spot as my yoga pants - the upper legs/thighs. The next time I put those on, I want them to be too baggy in the sense I cannot wear them.…

For mom's of teenagers: A compliment from an unlikely sourse
Last night my teenage son looked at me and said, "Mom, you look skinnier!" It took 45 lbs for him to notice but for him to say anything about the way mom looks was quite a big deal! Thank you son, you made my day and just provided the motivation I needed to keep going!

NO LONGER the fattest person in the room.
Something I realized today: For SO long, I've almost always been the fattest person in the room...wherever I was, I was the biggest person. And I'm not exaggerating people. And I'm talking like my WHOLE life! From as far back as I can remember I was always the fattest kid in the classroom, the fattest employee, the fattest…

But here are my pics so far, I hope this works! The Aug 2009 picture is was taken days before I found out I was pregnant with my 2nd child.

It was my last semester at Northern Illinois University, and I decided I was too big, and I needed to lose, so I started in, really not knowing what I was doing. I did manage to lose 10 lbs, but stuck there for a YEAR! so, in August, Amber, a friend of my…

What small accomplishment have you made recently?
I remember when I first started doing my Zumba Cardio Party DVDs. The first time through, I don't even think I made it through the DVD. Awhile later, I would collapse on the ground and lay there for a good while after it was over, haha. Well, today... I got to the point where I decided to add a little extra to my work-out…
