55 Lbs Down - With pics
I successfully reached my target weight (revised three times :smile: ) and have kept the weight off over the past couple of months on maintenance. So, I figured it was time to tell my story and post some pictures. Two years ago I weighed 270 Lbs +/- and had a cholesterol score of 236 which is borderline high-risk. My…

Photos I'm not ashamed of
I am making progress on my fitness. YAHOO! I am doing the 100 pushup challenge (www.hundredpushups.com) and also watching my food intake and doing P90x along with other activities like tennis and bike riding. I was getting bored with the P90X discs, so I had to switch it up. I am so glad to feel good about posting a photo…

Hit my mini goal!! (just 3 days after I was supposed to)
Today I hit my mini goal of 30lbs down. Granted I had set my date for my 5 month mark of October 4th, but what a couple extra days, what matters is I HIT IT!!!!!!! I wish I had some pics to post but I am terribly camera shy, I only have my ugly terrible before pics on my page that were taken without my knowledge as I was…

My first weigh in was awesome!!!!!
I decided to change my lifestyle 4 weeks ago today. I only weigh in once a month and today was that day for me. I lost 12.5 pounds in 4 weeks. I am so excited and so very proud of myself. My blood pressure was 138/86 last month and today it was 128/80. My doctor was very impressed with the results. It was so nice to see my…

3 letter "F" word
We all know the word… Starts with an "F". Ends with a "T". Has a vowel in between. Well, yesterday someone called me that 3 little "F" word. Right to my face! I was aghast! I was shocked! I was surprised! My mouth flew open, I smiled this big cheesy grin, and said, "Wow! Really?? THANKS!!!" So here's my story. Yesterday I…

Clothing Swap?
Ok so I am having a hard time finding clothes that fit. Let me start by saying that I have lost 24 pounds since MFP but 40 pounds since I started. My husband and I are carrying the cost of managing two homes right now (haven't sold our old house yet) as well as our 570 dollars A WEEK in daycare expenses. Needless to say I…

1st month
I have lost 2 inches off my belly in my first month of calorie counting. A half an inch each week since I started MFP. As that is exactly where I want the weight to come off, I am very happy. Lots more to go.

Another set of pictures that show my progress...
I got in another one of those 'I feel so fat' moods yesterday, but today I found another set of pictures that really show how far I've come. I keep a folder of these comparison pics to help motivate me when I feel like I haven't changed or that I'm so far away from my goal.

Refusing temptation....
I was visiting my brother and his family yesterday on a break from my job. They are a naturally slim family, and my brother is a disgusting 5'11" and 145 pounds soaking wet. Why didn't I get that metabolism? :grumble: Supper was a shrimp and sundried tomato pasta dish in a sauce made with whipping…

I have a new problem now.......
So I used to walk into anywhere and go to the where the BIGGEST clothes were and hope that anything at all would fit. When I started my journey I started shopping more and more at second hand shops since I knew the clothes I was buying I wouldn't fit for long and therefore I wouldn't be "throwing" uneccesary money away on…

Lost 2% body fat, 8lbs in 4 weeks!
I'm so excited! I've been working out with a personal trainer these last four weeks and have dropped 8lbs (from 149 to 141) and 2% body fat. My body fat is 24.8%. My trainer wants me to be at 19% so just over 5% away. These sessions have been a good investment! My clothes have gotten really looser and I'm getting ready to…

So I told him I'd love to get it highlighted…

The little things...
I tried on my outfit for the wedding disco ready for Sunday night. I wasn't sure about it so I sent the picture to my sister, who is well known for being very blunt and taking no prisoners. It was a body only shot. My sister texted me later with the message "is that you?" I said yes and she typed back "OMG how much weight…

Thank you myfitnesspal.com - I am under 200 pounds!
I have struggled with trying to lose weight off and on for over a decade. It was just too daunting until I discovered myfitnesspal.com earlier this year. This site and the iPod app really work amazingly well for me, it makes losing weight almost as simple as the phrase 'eat less, move more" implies. The result is that…

Small little success for me!!
Embracing this new healthy lifestyle is great and everything, but it's quite hard when you have a perfectly fit and healthy boyfriend who can eat what he want and never get fat!!!! He is soooooo supportive of me but I just could never ask him to give up yummy foods just for me! So tonight he decided to order a domino's…

Wahoooo!!!!
I started a get fit lifestyle in 2008 after seeing pictures of myself with my son and not liking how I looked. Since then I have lost 40lbs (37 after joining MFP) which I know does not seem like a lot, especially after 2 years, however, today, I had my body fat percentage measured and it is at 18.8% and I'm am just…

What a great feeling...
I just got back from the gym and I've gotta say... it's such a great feeling getting on the elliptical machine and being proud of the number you type in when it asks you what your weight is... I still have a long way to go but it is rewarding nonetheless. :0)

I'm so GLAD I nearly lost my wedding ring!
Yep, ya'll! I was walking down the hallway at work and felt something creeping down my finger, when I looked down my wedding set was past my knuckle about to fall to the floor! I was so thrilled I stood there for a moment just moving it up and down on my finger smiling. Don't you get it? I may not have lost a dress size,…

Anyone in the Seattle area need some size 38 pants?
This has been a three year process for me (though seriously kicked up a notch since joining the site a month ago). I'm now comfortably down to a size 34 jean. Going through my closet this morning (trying to find something that still fit), I ended up pulling out nearly a dozen pairs of 38 inch pants (jeans, painters pants,…

WOW, 20 lbs gone
I started this journey at the biggest I have ever been in my LIFE – 186. For my 5’9 frame, it wasn’t the most flattering let me tell you. I drank too much, at like poo, and didn’t exercise much. I went from my usual 155-160 weight to my highest in what seemed like over night. I was disgusted and felt gross. Very gross. I…

Wedding Ring and Watch
I had both sized, since they were both flopping around. My wedding ring was made at a size 8, I purposely oversized it because I needed a 7.5 but the ring is wide and like Cinderella's sister said..."sevens are so comfortable I always wear eights...LOL" My watch had a link removed and my ring went down by 1.25 sizes! YAY~!…

What will your life be like once you reach your goal? Here's
On the 15th May of this year I reached my goal weight and waved goodbye to my 50lb excess. As I approach the first 5 month anniversary I thought I would share what the last 5 months have been like and what my current weight/happiness etc is. The thing that most worried me once I had hit my goal weight was that I was going…

1st Week And Im Up 1lb
Hi, This is my first time to post to this. I started mfp last monday and I've generally been very good. On 2 days I was over but they were day's that I was out with work and it was only by 100 or so calories. Other day's i didn't even reach the 1200 calories allowed so was under by 200 /300. I've worked out 4 days and I…

Yay! A goal reached!
See that little ticker at the bottom of my post? I finally did it!! :noway: :drinker: :bigsmile: Towards the end of last year, I decided I was actually going to exercise. Regularly. Me. The person who always hated breaking a sweat, except for that kickboxing class I took years ago that I loved..... well, I had to figure…
