I am the mom of 5 (gave birth to 4) and I have wanted a tummy tuck since the day after giving birth the first time... until today.

It's been a long journey...
It's been a long journey with a few bumps in the road here and there, much like life itself. I started my journey to health and well-being in January 2009. Yes, a New Year's resolution that actually took root and grew. At that time I weighed 180 pounds and was very unhappy with how I looked and felt about myself. I don't…

Woohoo for mini-milestones!!!
I just realized something... A few years ago I had an OB/GYN who actually wasn't obsessed with BMI charts but with general health and appearance. She set my first goal (I moved before we really got going, and then it took a while for things to click) to get to 175 pounds "and then we'll take a look at things and see".…

Since my husband rarely ever gets on here any more I wanted to share his success for him. He has done an amazing job and he is in maintenance mode now after losing 100 pounds since April 2010. I am sooo very proud of him. Eating right and working out, that is all it took. From 280 to 180 pounds. BEFORE NOW

50 LBS Lost.
A big thanks to MFP its helped me tredmendously. I used to be in great shape. I was a reservist until my current wife accidently got pregnant. I quit the reserves because I didnt want to do a tour with kids. I then got a cushiony job where I sit on my *kitten* for 71/2 of 8 hours. I blame a significant portion of my weight…

Small Success...
Very small success, but I'll take it anyways! I put on a pair of yoga pants yesterday, ones that I haven't worn in probably 6 months or so, and they were loose in my thighs/upper leg area! Slightly loose in the waist, but I could really notice how baggy they are in the legs. I also weighed myself this morning. I did it…

1st mini goal reached!
Today I am officially under 190 lbs... ok so it's only by 1/2 lb but I'm going to say I'm in the 180s now and there's not a thing you can do about it! :D 12 lbs down, only 30 or 40 to go (Not sure because the calculator on here says I would be overweight at 160, although I used to be fairly fit at 165, so 150 is a…

I am comfortably in a size 18. Not too loose or tight. I saw my size 14's laying around and tried them on and it fit!! I was so happy and it made my day! It was very tight still need to lose 20-30 more pounds to fit in them comfortably. :)

Completed C25K!
I never thought I'd be able to say this but I completed Couch to 5K this morning!! When I started, I was 38 pounds heavier, massively out of shape, and could barely run a minute at a time. I'm not up to a full 5K yet (I'm only running just over 2 miles on the treadmill) but I am going to start aiming for increasing speed…

How do I stabilize???
Hi y'all, After about two month I've lost nearly 14 kgs (started MFP later, so ticker's off) and I'm beginning to reach the end of my quest. I know, I didn't have much of a problem to start with, but if I would've continued the way I was going nt only that problem but I myself would be way bigger, so thank you MFP!!! No…

Fit into my Jeans!!!!!!
Yes, not a small size, but a 14 Leggiadro I have had in my closet, and the last time I had them on ...3 weeks or so ago, I could get them on but I would NOT wear them in public. NOW I am wearing them to the football game Friday night! Like I am in HS again, not just watching my son play! I have 3 more pairs of pants/jeans…

Changing friends
Changing friends Over the years food has always been there for me when I’m sad it comforted me. When I was angry it made me feel happy. It was always at every celebration I ever went to every birthday, wedding, every holiday! I really don’t think that any more or at least I am trying to see it in a different way. Food is…

Happiness is...
being able to wear pink suede capri pants that I haven't been able to fit in two years. I'm tired as heck from staying up too late watching The Biggest Loser last night, and I just left the bank and they said someone tried to use my debit card number fraudulently. But...doesn't matter because THESE PANTS FIT!!!

6 or so Months ago ...
... I decided to go through my closet and drawers. I needed to make room for stuff that I had bought and it just had no where to go. I pulled out ALL my jeans and put all my Size 10's in the donate pile thinking to myself "you will never fit in these again". It was okay, I was left with a bunch of Size 12 jeans and they…

100lbs GONE! GONE! GONE!
I have been waiting a long time to be able to say that! I have lost 100lbs! Whenever my Dr.s find out how much I have lost, the first thing they ask is, "gastric bypass?" NOPE! Plain old exercise and eating right did the trick for me. I took me quite some time. I lost quite a bit of weight and then found out I was…

So far, I have lost 19lbs since Feb, and 14lbs of it has been since I joined MFP in Aug. Which is wonderful! but my wedding ring no longer fits!! It flew off twice yesterday. Anyone else have this problem? I never thought my fingers were fat before. But I guess I'm losing the weight everywhere!
