WHOOO HOOO - Made first mini-goal
Hi everyone. I joined MFP on August 3, 2010 and my first goal was to lose 20 lbs by Thanksgiving, which was 16 weeks away. I thought that was an average of a little over a pound a week and that was doable. Well, as of today I have lost 20 lbs - 5 weeks ahead of schedule. YAY ME!!. And you know what? I haven't starved…

1st day of 30 day shred
I did it!! We got home from vacay yesterday where I picked up the 30 Day Shred. And today I did it! I completed the first day. It wasn't as hard as I anticipated, but it was hard! I thought I could do jumping jacks, but those nearly killed me today.

Mini Goal Hit!
When i began my weight loss journey this past March i set a pretty high mini goal of losing 20 pounds which would at least make my driver's license honest...then i hit the wall. Sadly i hit that wall around June and was stuck there until a couple of months back when i was introduced to MFP and C25K. I'm happy to announce…

Trading drinking for exercise
Up until this past july my diet was simple. Drink however much you want. Eat however much you want. That all changed when I went to the doctor and found out my liver wasnt goin to take much more. I was given a choice quit drinking and lose weight or likely not see my 30th birthday. This was quite upsetting for the first…

Had to buy new pants
I had to go buy new pants for Zumba. Last week I was getting my Zumba on and I couldn't keep my pants on. I was shaking them right off :blushing: I may have only lost 10 lbs, but it feels really good to shop for a smaller size. YEAH for sales at Old Navy!

Hooray!
Last time I went to the nurse I weighed in at 103.3KG - today I went, and weighed in at 94KG! Yay!

Exercise payoff
not sure if this is a success story. although i liked the fact. even though i still have a gut, last night during bedroom arobics i didnt hear the embarrassing sound of my stomach flapping. i love it.

Obese No More!!
With today's check in, I slipped into the overweight bracket. I've been here before, but with vigilance and dedication to holding myself accountable I hope to put overweight in my rearview in due time!! Thanks for all of the support here at MFP!!

20 lbs lost - pictures
So despite being (in terms of height/weight ratio) the smallest I've ever been, I'm still very discouraged that I have been at the same weight for awhile. I need to remember that what I've accomplished thus far is great, and it's about changing life habits, not about a quick fix. What better way to do that than to look at…

5'0" Looking for running pants...
I am 5'0" tall, and in search of running pants for the fall and winter. Does anyone have any ideas on where to purchase short running pants? Everything seems like it is so long and big...and a lot of the time the "girls" stuff doesn't seem high quality. I would rather pay more and buy once, than spend less and have to…

I got the pictures working.. BEFORE, AFTER, 10 MORE TO GO!!!
Last year I embarked upon a journey that changed my life. I would look at pictures of myself and just break into tears. I truly hated myself. Even to this day, it is so very, very painful to realize that these pictures were me: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v220/j_is_for_Genuis/onatalie3.jpg…

MFP changed my life
Took a few minutes to look back at my first few posts here. It made me choke up thinking about how much this website has done for me! I've never been one to go on anything called a "diet", but I've always been up and down on the scale 20-25 lbs. Usually related it to what's going on in my life with work, family, school,…

Mini success story :):):)
So this may sound dumb but I'm just so proud of myself! Last night I was at work (I work at a restaurant) and I didn't get out until around 11pm. I came home to see that everyone had ordered a chicken wing pizza (my favorite) and i didn't even have a bite:) Usually I would eat the rest and then snack on something else but…
