Baby Steps
No one has noticed the weight that I've lost yet but I went to a restaurant with a friend and we were taken to a booth. Now I had gotten to the point where sitting in a booth was a scary thing because my stomach would rub up against the table but when I got in that booth my stomach did NOT touch the table! It was great, so…

Six months in - almost halfway to my goal
I've only been on MFP for a little over a month, but I would say my journey towards better health started about 6 months ago when I started my new job after a period of unemployment (and a very sedentary lifestyle). My new profile pic shows me on my first day of work, and again yesterday. I've lost six pounds so far, but…

Old skirt - new life
When I started this weight loss plan I just wanted to fit into the plus size clothes hanging in my closet that I couldn't fit into. When I started getting too small for the plus sizes I decided to check out some old smaller clothes that I had saved. The "box in the back of the closet" was full of clothes from the last many…

I can actually wear my wedding ring!
Today I was able to put my wedding ring back and on and have it fit comfortably. For the longest time my finger were fat and swollen that I couldn't get my wedding ring back on after I had taken it off to get cleaned. It's been weeks and I'm finally able to get it back on and that's were it's staying now. It's actually…

Almost at my goal thanks to 6 months on MFP
I'm not quite at my goal weight yet but I took a photo of myself this morning and was just so amazed at the reduction around my waist in the past 6 months, that I wanted to share my progress. It's been a really hard slog, as someone who's been overweight almost my entire life (I was well over 200lbs and very unhappy at age…

Another small step!
So I have been a member since April 2010 and with the help of being able to log food and exercise I have lost 60 pounds! When I started I was walking on the treadmill at most 2.8 mph for about 20 minutes and would have to stop. Weighing 250 pounds was weighing heavily on my health literally. Day before yesterday I took…

It really works!
I'm just starting my weight loss journey. Lost the 1.5 pounds/week that WW always talks about, for 3 weeks. Very happy with myself. Then, last weekend, just could not find good choices to eat, made mistakes, missed my exercise with a sick kid, stayed home with sick kid and ate out of boredom. Frustrated. Didn't even weigh…

Onederland!! (Pics)
So, I weigh every day just so I can stay on track and keep myself motivated. My "official" weigh in day is Friday and I weigh with clothes on because I'm in a public place. When I weigh daily, I'm at home so I weigh with nothing on, right before I get in the shower. This morning, I was greeted with a beautiful sight when I…

I love it when people post their before/after photos!
Since I'm just starting out, I like to see how people look. It's inspirational because I know they did it doing the same thing I'm doing, so I know I'll get there one day. :)

Feeling sooo positive.
I can't believe I never stuck with this site before. Even though I've gained a tiny bit this week due to starting out exercise in a formal routine (running daily) for the last two weeks I'm SO motivated & pleased with my determination to track and manage what I eat :-) Had to share it with you guys for fear I might burst…

Week 2 Weigh In
Hi Everyone. Its been a bit tougher this week, still being very good with my calorie counting and hitting the gym hard, feeling a bit tired and getting the rumbling tummy sometimes ha ha . So drinking plenty of water and it helps fill a gap. Just got off the scales and pleased with a 2kg loss taking total to 5kg, cool 5…

Could it be??
It seems I may have said goodbye to the 170s??? WWWHHHHAAAT? I've gotten to 170 and then gone back up a pound quite a few times. But yesterday that sneaky scale slipped down to 169.6. I didn't want to believe it- so after my double take I backed slowly out of the room trying not to get too excited for fear that it might go…

Finally...
I have moved from the obese category to only being overweight! I feel so much better. I still have a ways to go but my life is pretty good right now. I thank God for his continued help every day and I also thank all of you here at MFP for your support!

a little jogging success...
I started doing some martial arts in late july. Before when I tried jogging, I would try to walk for two minutes at 3.5 mph, then jog for one at 5.0 mph. I would only last 15 minutes before I was dead tired. I would only burn 150 calories Yesterday I tried doing some jogging again after my workout. I did the same two…

My black jeans
I bought my size 10 black jeans last November, and they were tight! Fit OK when standing up, but TIGHT when sitting down. They have a little stretch in them, so I suffered through with them last winter. It's been several months since I wore them, but I put them on today..... HELLO comfy jeans!!! Not tight at all, in fact,…

non-scale victory. I was picked up. ;n)
LOL It's not as swanky as it probably sounds in the title. But it's still quite a victory! This weekend, I was talking to my husband wihle I was laying on the bed and he was standing up. He said, "Man, you're so TINY now!" And he swooped down and grabbed me, and picked me up, bride-over-the-threshhold style. Then he curled…

What size did that tag say?!
Holy crap! I'm not the biggest size in the store any more! I went to target to get some slacks because the ones I wore to work today were falling off me (literally, I got up from my desk and my pant fell right the **** off) and was terrified I wouldn't find anything that fit me. When I started out on this journey I was a…

I feel my 1st post is in the right forum
I started using MFP at the beginning of March this year, I'd downloaded a couple of apps for the iPhone and found MFP to be the one that I prefered so I started my diet! I only found the website some time after so never got round to posting but did read a few of the comments over the last 6 months. I guess a quick bit of…
