Mini goal dress!
I pulled out a dress that I have only worn once before in my life---never thought I would again. Tried it on to see if I could get into it, and it fit! And with some shapewear on under it, I'd even go out in it! Wahoo! It was always the dress in the back of my mind that I was like "That dress would be a goal"--and I've…

mad a good choice at lunch today
Had some workers coming to my house today and had to be out of the house with my girls...which meant being out for lunch. We went to Jason's Deli. I looked over the menu (I love that they have calories, fat, carbs, proteins on their menu!) and chose the mediterranean wrap with fruit as my side. It was really good and I was…

I wore a swimsuit at the beach... Imagine that!!!
Ok, so I live (literally) 5 minutes from the beautiful beaches of Lake Michigan. The same beautiful beaches that I have been depriving myself of for the last 6 years now. Back when I graduated from high school in 2004 you couldn't keep me from the beach, I would skip class to be there :blushing: . Until I met my (now)…

Thats Okay, I didn't like her anyway!!!
I was filling a photo album with pics from last summer and I came across a bunch of pictures of a woman that I Did Not Like!! She was lazy, overweight and unhappy. She had no self confidence and was grouchy all the time. This woman would have rather sat on the couch watching her kids play than get on the floor and play…

Never thought I would be able to do it!
I haven't worn a bikini since I was 20.....but I did this weekend....in public!!!! My sister was the one who gave me the confidense to do it. I don't have a perfect body and I never will, but I have worked hard and it shows. I was proud of myself for rocking it and not feeling the need to cover up even when we sat down to…

Today marks 8 weeks on MFP. I've stuck to the principles of the plan and have lost 13 lbs. That is an average of 1.625 lbs per week. My goal was 1.5 lbs per week so I exceeded the goal. I had weeks were I didn't lose any, I had weeks were I lost a smidge and I had weeks were I lost big. I also had really good days and…

My knee doesn't hurt! :)
I just had to share with somebody who might understand... I've had knee problems ever since I was about 12 years old, when I managed to bang up my knee pretty well playing baseball. It's followed me throughout my life and has made some of the activities that I used to really love pretty painful. The pain got even worse…

I'm almost overweight, and it is great!
I have been an MFP lurker for a while and haven't really stuck with keeping track of my intake and exercise for an extended period of time. Three months ago I had a bet with a handful of friends for who could lose the highest percentage weight, and I started really logging everything and even going to the gym. After our…

AE Jeans!!!
Hubby and I went shopping tonight. We've been going and at least "window shopping" for the past few weekends...why? Because I can now go to the mall and fit in some of the clothes they sell there. Anyway, here's my story. When I started my weight loss journey in January, I was in a size 24W jeans and between a 1X and 2X…

I can't believe I actually lost 50 lbs! For the first time in my life I feel like I'm in control of my body. I'm so excited to keep going until I'm where I want to be.

I LOVE my exercise calories!!! <3
I am working hard to stay within my calories 1200-1350 as I am back to lose the last 15 pounds. I lost the first 36 by eating 1200 base and every darn one of my exericse calories. Some nights I would hit the food log and be at 1100.......without dinner. So I would hit the elliptical to burn another 200-300 so I could have…

Kind of silly but a big success for me.
I am an emotional eater, and had a really rotten night at work last night, because of what happened at work I didn't get to eat my supper until 9 at night, so I was starving. What I really wanted to do was eat my planned supper, then come home and binge on ice cream and chips and dip..............but I didn't,, It was…

Done with week 2 of C25K!!!!
I made it! I sooo did not want to get on that treadmill this morning, but I did, and it was great!! I kept at a slow but steady 3.5mph during the walking intervals and 5.0mph on the jogging intervals, and I wasn't nearly as out of breath as I was when I started this week. I am still amazed at how such a simple program can…
