Where is my party?
I reached my goal this weekend. Yippeee!! I lost 31 lbs, my goal was 30lbs. Anyway I started my journey the day after Valentines Day of this year. I have not been a yoyo dieter; I have just slowly gained over the years and finally had enough. I also had little to no knowledge about proper nutrition and decided I need to…

score!!!!
I joined MFP at 198 pounds. I did not do any measurements other than the scale until the end of July. I started tracking the 16 of July. This is when I really started trying to get my weight under control and for a few weeks I saw the scale fall but none of my clothes were fitting any different. I was really getting…

UGH
So, yesterday was a VERY bad day for me. I didn't feel too motivated, didn't want to exercise, and wanted to eat an entire cheese pizza. I got through it, drank more water than usual (ugh, so bad with the water thing), didnt eat that pizza I craved, and worked out for over an hour!!! Go me :)

I'm almost there!!!
The statement- “she’s just bigboned” is honestly ridiculous. How many fat skeletons have you seen lately? The fact of the matter was, I was heavily overweight and had been for more years than I cared to remember. As a child, I was of an average weight although I towered over my school friends. As I got a little older,…

Then and Now (again)...pics on post now.
Was hoping to edit my original post, but couldn't do it, so started another. Sorry for the repeat. Decided not to be lazy and photobucket'ed my pics. Here they are. This one is from November '09 when I went to Florida with my Hubby. I am at about 240 lbs here which is not my highest weight (that would be 265ish), but where…

38 lbs lost...progress pictures
I can't believe I actually have progress pictures. The before pictures are from a few years ago to now. But I've been the same weight through the years. Please tell me you see a difference. I'm not done yet but I'm almost half way there. I was really motivated by seeing everyone's progress pics and couldn't imagine having…

2 weeks and 1 and 1/2 inches gone!
Been on MFP now for just over 2 weeks and finally saw a drop in weight - down to 186 from 195. I didn't think I'd ever see the 180's! I was worried I was doing something wrong - but I was limiting my calorie intake to a healthier level and I started back at the gym 3-4 x week. Now finally results! In addition - I…

*Pics* 1 yr of running + 15 lbs. weight loss
Check out my profile! Same outfit, 1 year before and after. I weighed 140 in the first pic and 125 in the current pic taken today! In that time, I've become a runner and have revamped my eating habits.

A great weight loss success story - Drew Carey!!
I was shocked to open up the Sunday paper and see a healthy looking Drew Carey on the cover of Parade magazine! I read the article and was so relieved to read that he lost weight the good old fashioned way: a healthy diet and regular (reasonable) exercise. http://www.parade.com/health/2010/09/26-drew-carey.html From the…

one year later, 20lbs lighter
Ok so to make this story short, I have been on and off MFP for the past year. I wish I could say I have made more progress but I am happy with my current weight and if I can reach my ultimate goal of dropping 10lbs more, I will be very happy. I was thin as a kid and all up to high school but when college hit, I moved away…

Finally I see it in my clothes ~ well, Halloween costumes!!
Ok, I'd already seen an inch loss in my bust - sadly NOT in the cup size...GRR! - but I was feeling pretty down because I've only dropped from a 16 to a 14 in jeans. Ok, the 14s are starting to feel a little looser, but... Last night I opened one of the closet doors and saw the not one but TWO Halloween costumes I'd gotten…

First weigh-in and what a surprise!
I know this is not yet a successful story but this morning I did my first weigh-in after a week on MFP. I taught I would have lost 1-2 lbs, was not really thinking I have lost more than that. Especially since yesterday I went at my mom’s place, and you guys know how much we eat at our momma’s house! So I went a bit over my…

Starting to feel like myself again! (pics)
I've been working at this for over 4 months now and it's been slow going, but I'm finally starting to see really good results! I'm 16lbs down and while I still have quite a ways to go, I was confident enough to buy a pair of skinny jeans the other day! I wasn't sure if my eyes were deceiving me about how I looked, so I…

Then and now...pics on profile
Posted some new pictures on my profile today. Too lazy to figure out how to do it on the message board. I have been on MFP for about 4 months, and have lost 41 lbs so far. The picture is with my husband last November in Florida. I think I was at about 240 then...and that wasn't my highest weight (I think that was about 265…

Progress Pics
Hey all! I put together my first weight comparison and posted it in my profile. I didn't realize until now that there was such a drastic change. I am pretty proud of myself, so I figured I'd let you all know :)

I ran for three minutes!
I know, it's not much, but I started C25K today and ran for a total of 3 minutes! That's more than I've run in 10 years! I'm training for a 5k in April, and I have a feeling I might just get addicted to running. Just had to share. :smile:
-
Ran a mile...
I ran a mile without stopping for the 1st time in about a year....took about 12 minutes. I used to run a mile in 11:30 so I hope to get back to that within a month :smile:

Just bought my Halloween costume
I got one of those long slinky black dresses off of the rack, and it actually looks good! I wasn't adventurous enough to go with a short skirt this year. Maybe I'll do that next year. I got some black and blue fairy wings to go with it, so I'll be the 'evil fairy' to go with my daughter's Tinkerbell. We're gonna look great!

I love the compliments..does that make me vain?

A few weeks ago i went to my OBGYN for my blood draw and the nurse i know looked my way but walked right past…

I just wanted to thank all of you for being here, supporting each other, and helping me along. In April I bought a Wii fit and weighed in at 177 pounds. I am 5'8 and I thought…
