On a day when I had to get up even earlier than usual. SO PROUD of myself - and I know it will be even easier to do it tomorrow! Walks turn into runs turn into fitness.... turn…

I recently lost 38 pounds (woot!! 10 to go!!), for which I'm very pleased with myself, but as the weight's dropped, I've noticed this strange phenomenon among my colleagues. when I started, there were polite 'good for you' kinds of comments, but as I lost more, the questions and comments, while well-meaning, got really…

But truly it is my sanity. I…

My dreams have become my reality!!!! Posting to encourage an
What started my transformation I have been asked by so many people how and why did I start to lose weight. Well, here is my story..... In Nov 2006 I watched my step father died from having stints put in his heart. They were able to keep him alive for 8 day. He wasn't over weight, but it was the food choices that clogged…

New Resolve
I've been a MFP member for more than a year now, coming up on two years actually. I have stalled out and slowed my progress for various reasons, life, apathy, extreme stress, etc. I've been able to maintain my losses, but I haven't made any real progress in way too long. But I have new resolve and I am ready to finish…

1 year of dieting
Well, it's been a year of dieting so far. I've managed to keep off the 20 pounds. I planned on losing more weight of course, but managing to stay afloat was better than nothing. I'm gonna try harder this year to get into shape. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

Such a small thing but such a huge success for me!
Got up early this morning & went to the gym and got 60 minutes in. Then later this evening when the kiddo took a nap I was wore out (somehow she can do that to me! lol) so I tried to lay down & take a nap too. I couldn't rest and in the past when I'm tired and can't get any rest I turn to food. . .junk food - sweets in…

Now, I still have a little muffintop goin' on, but I can zip them up and not feel like they are gonna burst out at the seems... PLUS, I've…

I am beautiful .. in every single way ..
LOL! I don't know why I just got that song in my head. Yesterday morning I was at the gym with my hubby. I was wearing my shirt my mom got me, and my size 22 capri jeans, that where too tight just a few weeks ago. I looked in the mirror, while drying my hair ..and I looked awesome. I whispered to myself. "Man I am HOT"…

small steps add up to big changes.
Ok so yesterday was not great day on the eating scale. Unlike before this site I was well aware of everything I ate and exactly how much of each thing. Not a binge at all, just not the best food options. I ate 3 slices of pizza and my normal dinner then 6 oreos before bed. As I was eating dinner I remarked that well I know…

So i decided to take my measurements again and in 2 weeks I have lost 2 inches off my waist, 1 inch off my hips and an inch off my thigh so really i feel quite happy with that. As long as…

Before and During Pics!!!!!
So I thought I need a little inspiration and also want to be an inspiration to everyone that may just be stuck on the evil word "plateau". During this lifestyle change you WILL hit Plateaus! They suck! Trust me I KNOW! DO NOT get discouraged. This has been a journey for me. I lost 100 pounds back in 2003. Recovering from a…

first hike ever!
went today with my husband on a 2 mile hike! it wasn't super-strenuous, but it did have a lot of climb to it. it was a 1.3 mile trail up hanging rock, and i was so excited to make it all the way up and back again with being *completely* give out. it took us about 2 hours, which is what the recommended time was, so i'm glad…

A tiny victory
Out of necessity, and a desire to not drive an extra hour, I went to the supermarket on my way home, and I entered HUNGRY. In my life bmfp, that would have lead to a few jalapeno poppers finding their way from the deli counter to my cart (and waist) at the minimum. However, I walked out with raspberries. And spinach. And…
