Health Benefits

130 lbs
That was my goal. To reach 130 lbs by October. So today I weighed in at 130.6! And now I'm right where I should be for my height. I'm way excited. When I started MFP I was 148. When I first started trying to lose weight, I was 160 lbs. I don't have some crazy weight loss story for you, sorry. Just your typical baby…

Thanks, MFP
I just wanna to say a big thanks to this website. I'm half a pound away from my original goal of losing 20 pounds. And it took two and a half months, after so many years of bad habits. I still have some love handles, but being a dude measuring 6'1'' and weighting 170.5 lbs, I don't think losing more weight is a good idea.…

First attempt at jogging!
So even though I am all full up with what feels like the flu (but is probably just a cold!), I made my first attempt at going for a run tonight! Don't get me wrong, I have been working out since I started MFP, but I've been swimming or walking which aren't high intensity! I decided that tonight would be the night to make…

Reflections from the first fifty...
I don't know how I got here...6 months ago I would have thought I was hopeless. While the first 50 does not really show as a startling visual on someone who has so much weight to lose the differences that I can FEEL are simply incredible. It took me so long to get here that being fat has been a way of life for a long time.…

Big Time Goal for Me
Hi all, Just wanted to share my success story. One year ago, I used to get winded going up some stairs, hated going grocery shopping because I knew I had to lug bags of not so great food up my apartment stairs/make multiple trips. Hated shopping for clothes because I knew nothing would fit, and if it did, it would look…

Half way Through my Journey! (w pict)
Here are my progess pictures. My Haha-moment started when I outweighed my ex-boyfriend. I quitted smoking since May 10 and I needed a morning activity to replace the fact I used to smoke. I didnt want to add more weight since Im an emotional eater and had a lot of issues with the BF. So, til now I'm running every morning…

I'm Going to Make my Mini Goal!
So, I started this journey on September 9th. Found MFP and I've been hooked ever since. I've had some rough times - not losing weight - just inches because I wasn't eating enough! Go figure. And after just starting I hit a plateau! Major bummer. But thanks to you all - I'm finally over the hump. I lost 9 pounds right off.…
