nearly cried in the fitting room
Last March 12th I was wearing size 44" jeans (just barely). Co-workers were talking about this thing called 'My Fitness Pal' and my ears perked up. That day I started on MFP with the 'dream' of losing 65 pounds and weighing 220. I've now gone beyond those two goals and today I reached another goal; fitting into 34" jeans.…

Helping Others
This one's not really MY success story, but a small victory for someone else. One of my coworkers has been complimenting me on my weight loss and lamenting the fact that she "can't" lose weight. While discussing her diet with her, I learned that she uses a lot of processed, high-sodium foods when she cooks for her family.…

50lbs, who knew it was such a difference!
When people at work started asking me if I was losing weight, I was like how do they know? Sometimes it's hard to see the differences in your body when you look into a mirror, but when I look back at pictures I can really see it! The one on the left is June 2010 and the one on the right is from this past weekend. I am…

WOO-HOO! P90X Done (pics)
So I finally finished my first round of P90X. I really had my doubts when I set out that I'd be able to fit it into my already busy schedule, but my DW & I stuck it out. Overall I think it worked well. Granted, I didn't take the nutrition side of it serious for the first few weeks. By the 2nd & 3rd month I was eating much…

About 40 pounds down, 60 more to go- 185 day progress pics!
Hi there! I am trying again...my last post was too blurry. I didn't realize how horrible the picture quality was until after I submitted the post. These ones are somewhat better. I always use my phone to take pictures, and therefore, the picture quality is not the best. These are side profile photos over the course of 4-5…

Feel good moment!
Had my yearly check up at the Dr's today, and the first thing the Dr said is how good I look, and that he couldn't believe I still had more weight to lose. THEN, and here's the best part - he said he had some weight to lose as well, and that it was hard to get motivated. So - I showed him the MFP app and he downloaded it…

"Exercised" my Demons Today
I spent all day today in sleeveless shirts, in public. My upper arms have not seen the light of day, in public, for maybe twenty years. I've just always hated my flabby upper arms. But yesterday was the hottest day on record in Los Angeles and there I was in my 3/4 sleeves sweating my brains out. And my boyfriend said "I…
