Made it past a century
I figure for my first post on MFP that it should be a big one... Before I joined MFP I had lost 35 pounds, since joining I have lost 66 and that puts me at 101 pounds lost. I will say it hasn't been easy, had to totally change my diet and carefully watch what I eat. But using this site was a big eye opener. I didn't…

Figured it out!! Midway Pics!!
Hi all!! I started loosing weight in January and since then I have lost almost 32 pounds! I gained 8 of the pounds back in Mayish but have since lost that and more. I have "fallen off the wagon" but have gotten back on and kicked some butt since then! I know that the fitness lifestyle has its ups and downs but when I look…

25 pounds in 40 Days!
The weight is really melting off now. I now weigh 210 pounds. I weighed in at 235 pounds a little over a month ago. It proves that hard work along with proper execution of this site and motivation (plus it helps to have your girlfriend of six years break up with you suddenly, like a hard slap in the face) can propel you to…

little victories
Today I am just filled with little victories. Started off by weighing myself and I have lost a total of 5 pounds in about 2 weeks since I joined this site. I decided to try on a shirt that I haven't worn in probably 2 years and it doesn't look like I have a beer gut, yay! My wife wanted to go out for pancakes at IHOP…

stepped away from the chocolate and junk food....
Today I went to the store to get some grocercies and I stepped away from the chocoloate and junk food. I bought some healthy food instead grapes, carrotts, celery, lettuce and made a delicious salad for dinner. This is such a huge step for me. I also did 50 situp/crunches today. I haven't attempted one in 15 years and…

Donated the big clothes!
I didn't have as much to lose as some, but I wanted to share my success, and hopefully encourage those who cannot yet imagine their goal: I just gave back four big bags of clothes to Goodwill. I say "gave back" because that's where most of them came from in the first place! :smile: Large baggy shirts and 34 inch waist…

New to myfitnesspal
Hi everyone! My name is Katrina and I was with WW for a year. I decided to go off of WW because I went vegetarian/vegan and they didn't have the nutritional information I needed. I was a little nervous about quitting it because I did really well with it (went from 215 to 155), but it was starting to overtake my life a…

So....my husband and I have been very faithful in doing 30day shred...we started last week and had to stop over the weekend but restarted this week and have been going great! But last night I started my period and for some reason this month it has sucked all my energy...i'm usually fine. So i didn't make it through the…

First major hurdle....crushed
For some people this may not seem like a huge deal but for me it was really exciting. I've only been on mfp for about 2 weeks and so far I love it! Being young and living in a college town predrinking, bars with more drinking, and late night eating after drinking are all usually things that are in a night out. Last night…

I LOVE IT!!!!! KEEP IT COMING! :happy:

Compliment... But why???
So yesterday I went for drinks w/ a close friend of mine and we were talking and out of no where she goes, "Have you lost weight??" I was flattered and told her thanks, but the truth is I haven't really been losing weight... HOWEVER I think I have really increased my muscle tone and I notice that I look smaller... So my…

40 lbs down, finally under 200!
I started my weightloss journey on January 4, 2010, weighing approximately 240 lbs (this was not my highest weight, but my highest RECORDED weight). I have been working hard to lose weight since then, with a few ups and downs along the way, but I have mostly been on track over the last 7 months. I stepped on the scale this…

I can't believe it.
I have lost 37 lb. I have been maintaining for about a month. I started a new job and I am still getting used to working plus being a mommy and doing all of my duties lol....So imagine my surprise when I went shopping tonight. I needed a nice dress to wear to a wedding. The one I wanted was online. I went to the actual…

The end of a good first day
Have had a really good positive day, under my calories and with swimming and fitness dvd. Heres hoping to carry on the positive attitude tomorrow. One thing i cannot do is going to bed hungry, must have a good cereal bout 11 pm. Dont know how people can not eat after a certain time at night. Any views?

"Other" successes
I tend to focus on the weight loss as my only success. I was thinking this morning that I've gained so much more than just losing 12 lbs. 1. My skin looks freaking fantastic for the first time in 2 year (I swear I think some wrinkles have went away...healthy lifestyle=fountain of youth...maybe???) 2. I have energy to do…

Has U.S. pant sizes changed or am I CRAZY!
:wink: So after now losing 32 lbs I am now a size 6 sometimes a 7/8, but I mostly have been just buying 6's and they fit really nice. Either way I LOVE it and I am proud of myself!!!:drinker: BUT... I am wondering if the sizes in the US have changed to make us feel better...I know all through high school I was a 7/8 and…

A blip to success
SO yesterday I posted about a blip in success, but I remained positive, I had a measure of what I call my belly, and thats 2" lost in a week. Thats 5" lost overall so far, so it is true, dont get caught worrying about the lbs, take a measure of your stats, and watch them go. That small blip of mine is actually a huge loss…

That special dress that was too tight before??
....is now too BIG!!!! I didn't even get to wear it once!! I've had it for a couple of years (from Jessica London, I think). It was tighter than I liked when I got it. So a quarter of a century pounds later :) I think it'll fit perfect now......it's too big! Mostly 'up top' if you know what I mean, but all over, especially…
