Size 18!
I went to Dillards to shop for a new outfit and was suprised that I fit into a size 18. I was wearing a 24 when I started. At work, I wear scrubs with a drawstring waist, so I didn't notice the size difference. When I'm off, I wear baggy gym shorts around home. Sooo, I got home from Dillards, went to my closet and pulled…

No longer look like Jabba!
Well I was browsing through my friend's facebook pics from last year and found this awful pic of me right before I went on my diet in March 2009. It is a horrible pic, but compared to the one from August 2010 I am just happy I don't look like Jabba the Hutt any longer! Haha ;-)

You're gonna think I'm crazy, but....
You might think this is nuts to be excited about, but I'm gonna share it anyway! :happy: I have been seriously trying to lose weight for the past 2 weeks. (like many people here, I have notoriously went back and forth in weight my entire adult life!) The first week I only lost .5 pounds. My friends, a couple relatives and…

52lbs gone - Finally time to show some before/afters...
I have been losing and re-gaining the same 20lbs for the last 8 years. Throughout my adolescence I joined WW twice and dropped down to about 165lbs. At 22 years old and 190lbs, and completely fed up with being nearly obese, I finally decided to get my life, health and fitness back. I wanted to lose that 20lbs again. And…

Success...kinda
I had to run into town during my lunch break today (I work at an island resort). On days that I have to do this, I usually get McDonald's on my way back. Well, I've lost 12 pounds (many more to go) and I just sort of said the hell with it, I'll have a splurge day and get the McDonald's. First of all let me say...it was…

At Goal Weight!!
Okay, so I've been working on these pounds since about the beginning of June and I am down 34 pounds!!! Today, at weigh-in I was pleasantly surprised. I am at my goal weight: I'm 5'8 and 147 pounds on a largish build (broad hips and shoulders). I'm right around the middle for a healthy BMI and I just bought myself a little…

Down 25 pounds today!
I am offically down 25 pounds today! I started my journey (this time) on January 13, 2010. I was weighing 186 pounds and felt like crap!! I joined WW and lost about 10 pounds in the 1st 15 weeks. I stalled out and then found MFP. I took my WW money and joined the gym and haven't looked back. Here's a couple pics along the…

that moment when you surprise yourself
Don't you just love that moment when you realize something different has happened -- and it's a good something? :) I've been doing Zumba DVDs for quite awhile now and there is a move where they kick their knees up and wind their arm around in a big round circle at the same time, and I had never had the strength, endurance…

My Guns
I know it didn't happen overnight, but today I'm VERY aware of the increased definition in my arms. Inspired me to do a full on flex in the mirror. Yup...almost time to start selling tickets to the gun show. Charmagne

Have to celebrate the small successes!
I only just began my new lifestyle, less than a month ago. I am SO HAPPY with my progress so far!! I have to thank MFP for making available this amazing site!! I know, for fact, I would not have had this success without the use of it! In less than one month I have lost 15lbs! That in itself is pretty awesome but there is…

a good start
I still have a ways to go, but I'm happy I lost 6 pounds this first week. I've been losing and gaining the same 5 pounds all summer and finally feel I've passed the threshold by watching my intake and increasing my workout intensity. What a great feeling.

Small Success!
This morning, I decided to try on a pair of khaki pants that have been too tight to wear to work for a few years now and low and behold, they're LOOSE! I'm so excited that this is working!!!

Kinda Funny
I went for my run this morning and about two mins in my pants fell down to about my thighs.... guess who needs new running pants!!! :)

Has anyone seen my butt....
I started this wild trip almost two years ago. I went to visit my mom for Christmas, and, as I walked in the door she patted my rather ample belly and said, “you’re getting fat!”. Only a mom can do that! I came back from that trip and had a chat with my wife and owned up to the fact that I was indeed getting fat, I was…

The ladybug on my ticker finally moved!!!
Had to do a little dance...barely exercising I've managed to lose 12 lbs now....wish I could see more progress, but at least that's 12 lbs not sitting on my joints right now. Lost half inch here, quarter inch there...but it adds up. Another sign of progress....MY JEANS ARE GETTING BAGGIER!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!

Had to repost..accidently deleted my photos
Well, I weighed myself last night and I'm down another 4 lbs...that's 34 total and I'm ecstatic! I know, progress is slow and may not be entirely noticeable as of yet, but I am doing it properly and couldn't be happier!! Thank you to my husband, most of all for all of his love and support even when I was heavier. To him,…

Just got a compliment at work
The big bosses who work in areas of the country are in the office today, but last time I saw them was in April at the User Conference, the one who I got talking to and took to the airport her first words out of her mouth were "WOW you have lost weight" and I told her about how I have been changing the way I eat and…

Beside myself with joy and amazement!!!
Last year I did the San Antonio Rock 'n' Roll Marathon and was sooooo disapointed with myself. Yes, I finished and that is nothing to sneeze at, but about mile 18 I totally gave up...took me 5 hours and 25 minutes to finish. After that I decided if I was to get serious I would need to make some changes, and change I did! I…

Progress Pics....nearly 30 lbs gone! woohoo!

I started using MFP diligently in Jan this year and have lost almost 30 lbs. I started out using my Wii (Active - More Workouts 6 week challenge) then I got into Jillian…
