WHAT A RUSH!!!!
I am so happy to be able to share a success story because I haven't had one for a while. My journey over the past month has been a little frustrating and what happened tonight was well needed to push me back in the right direction. I JOGGED! I actually jogged an entire 1/2 mile! This is something I can honestly say I've…

What Happened To The Thread?
This thread: How are we all losing weight? I replied and now, I can't find it?

35 lbs lost - reached my first goal!
Just a quick note to say I'm down 35 pounds so far this year and 30 pounds with MFP! I've reset my goals to lose another 15 so on to the second round! I don't know how to do the pictures but they're on my profile. :) Love the support on here!!!

Size 6!
In January I was a size 20. Yesterday's trip to the mall (and into the back of my closet) confirmed that I am now a size 6. Bonus points for being able to get my old size 4 jeans on AND zipped. Amazing :) SW: 230 (01/10) Height: 5'4" CW: 149.4 GW: 135

My favorite Jeans
I've been on MFP for about 2 months now, and So far I've lost 14 lbs. I finally have faith in the fact that I CAN lose weight... before MFP I felt hopeless. The 14 lbs and the inches I've lost so far had not been making much of a difference, with the exception of a pair of capris that were already too loose I can no longer…

I'm running!
I've always hated running, despised it and joked about how much i hated it. When i played high school football i tolerated the sprints, but still hated it...and if distance running was required i would freak. Once when we were told to run for 10 minutes i faked being sick to get out of it! Since then, knowing that running…

Just did a 5K over lunch at work!
If you'd have told me I would be down 21 lbs and would be able to run a 5K during lunch at work 9 months ago I'd have laughed! Granted it was a slower time (34:27) and I had to walk a little, I'm still pretty proud of the accomplishment. I'm guessing it will be even easier when I can get these last 30 lbs off! Thanks for…

45 lbs lost, 30 more to go
I have been working out since November of 2009. I stopped drinking beer but really didnt focus to much on dieting. first 4 months I did pure cardio. (run 1.5 mile on a tread mill, 30 mins eliptical, 1 mile run on a track, 15 mins arm bicycle) I didn't want to do weight lifting because I thought i'd "bulk up" This helped me…

9 weeks behind me... a new healthy life
Well, today I finally say good bye to the 180s! I could have never imagined that I would reach into the 170s, weighing in at 179 this morning! It has been a long time since I started, 9 weeks, and I have lost 26 pounds. This is not a 'fad' diet nor am I taking weight loss pills - just eating better! When I started this…

Progress of a different sort
When I buckled down and started to take exercising seriously, I didn't want to just lift. I used to mountain bike ride often. I have a good bike and decided to start using it. One of the great trails around here is called Lebanon Hills. The loop is roughly 9 miles. First attempt took me 2 hours and I skipped all the more…

First Week Weigh In
Hey all, I finally got some good news. I've been with the web site and this work program for one week now. Just went to my weigh in, and I've lost 4.6 (5) pounds in one week. This is awesome, as I am now starting to see some real progress. Though I didn't join this web site until I was 299, I started working on my weight…

Plateau?! Pfft. BUSTED!
I've been plateau-ish since April. Yeah. THAT long. I'd go down two pounds and be right back up three the next week! I went between 218 and 225 for MONTHS. Then, for two weeks, I threw in the towel, ate whatever I wanted, felt horrible, and gained weight. Six pounds. In addition to six more pounds I'd bounced up to during…

In one week I lost 5lbs!
I have been eating 1200-1300 calories a day, I stopped drinking regular soda, and now am drinking only water or crystal light. I lost 5lbs in ONE week!!!!! I am ecstatic!!!

Looking Younger????
My husband made a comment to me the other day, he said "since losing weight you look younger and taller" LOL I thought he was the only one that thought this way but in the last week I have noticed a trend, which is quite flattering since I am turning 30 on Friday. Everytime I have gone to buy cigarettes in the past week I…

Pre MFP loss on my ticker...??
I havent added the 7lbs I lost in the 3 weeks leading up to me joining MFP to my ticker..... I know this is a really trivial thing but im sort of tempted to, as to see the '17lbs lost' badge on my profile would be great....but is this cheating really since I didnt lose it while with MFP..? Sorry for the lameness of this…

Yesssssssssssssss
When I started losing weight, I was wearing about a size 20. I was actually wearing 18's, but I was squishing out of them in denial, so I know I was probably really a 20. Today, I bought a dress and a suit in a size 12!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO Ya!!! It feels so good to get new clothes in smaller sizes!

Thank Goodness For MFP!!!
I joined in September, and tried to quit the same day, but it was too much change at once, and I fell off the quit smoking wagon. But this time, my hubby has been quit for months now and said that he noticed my breath wasn't that great since he quit and I was still puffin away. That put an end to my smoking 6 days ago. I…

How many calories do you burn...
Trying on tons of clothes that you have pulled out of the attic that you couldnt get into for years and they now fit? I don't know how many calories, but I like it!

My journey so far........(pic heavy)
My journey began May 5th 2008. My daughter was 7 months old and I weighed 194 lbs at 5'3". I was in a size 16pants, XL shirt, even an 18 sometimes, although I will say I wore my clothes looser then than I do now, so it's just a guess. I began counting calories (1200 per day) and exercising, and at her 1st bday I weighed…

More than 50 pounds gone!!!
I haven't been posting at the boards much lately- I got a second job so I'm now working 7 days a week (56 hours total) and I also have two small children so... busy. Busy busy busy. I'm pretty excited though because, as of today, I weighed 131.6 pounds! Less than 2 pounds away from being out of the 130's (my next goal) and…

Goal reached! Before and after pic.
I'm not sure the total weight loss but I know I was 13 stone at my heaviest and I'm now 8 stone. I used a cheap elliptical trainer to begin with then used Davina DVD's before investing in a good elliptical trainer and starting on Jillian Micheals DVD's and using MFP every day. I am really happy with the results, but now I…
-
Thank You MFP!!!
Just a lil' success story, but any success is still a success. Well, the heaviest I reached was 263 ish when the scale just kept going up everyday. Now its been 5 days of working out and eating healthier. Its been probably 4 days of tracking calories and sticking to them and today I'm proud to say that I woke up at…

Finally back on the wagon...
I started my journey here in Jan. of 2009 and lost 25 lb rather quickly and easily and for no other reason but to sabotage myself, I wallowed in my own pity because I was in a terrible relationship with a very unhealthy person, with an 18 month old daughter and a job I hated. All that together was a recipe for weight loss…

A happy dance for 2 lbs!
Not really a huge milestone or anything, but every week I lose I feel successful! Another success- I am not able to run 2 miles and feel pretty good doing it. (I never ran for more than a few feet before last month) My longest run to date 4.36 miles. My goal is 5 miles, I'm almost there! Just wanting to share my little…
