I made my goal recently (although I keep changing the goals as I reach them) but more importantly I just took my dog to the vets for his yearly injections and he is also at his goal weight - he was 46.7 kg and today he is 35.5 kg which the vet says is perfect.

Any of you ladies notice...
I only put that because I thought giving this thread the title "Boobs" might be a little too much! :laugh: So anyways, after my bath tonight, I got out and stood in front of the mirror. Which honestly that's a miraculous thing because I always hated looking at my nude body, it made me sick. Well despite some of the…

The pic on the right is me just last month. I feel…

For the first time in my life....
As many of you have probably discovered, truly committing to count every calorie requires that you become somewhat obsessed. I try to make sure that when I'm out with friends, that I am still able to talk about other things beside losing weight. No one wants to hang out with people that A) only talk about one thing and B)…

well, thats new!!
I have always been a stress eater. If I had a bad day at work I would pig out on ice cream and whatever other junk we had in the house. So imagine my surprise recently when I started getting stressed out with work and I would get the urge to go for a run instead of eat! Craving excerise is definately a new thing for me but…

If it wasn't for this site, I would be eating RIGHT NOW!
I had a long night, and I think it might be a pretty long day too. If it wasn't for myfitnesspal.com, I would be mindlessly munching on something right now. There is not a single doubt in my mind that if I did not have access to this site, I would look to food as a distraction and comfort. I would be sitting in front of…

Triple Digits - 100lb's lost
A little over a week ago I crossed a milestone that I'd been looking forward to for some time... I passed the 100lb mark. That's 100 pounds in six months. I thought I would feel more like celebrating, but the honest truth is that I was stuck in a rut, and even though I was still losing weight, it had slowed to a crawl. In…

2.7lbs 1st week on MFP?
Really???? 2.7lbs in my first week?? C'mon! I went over by 600-700 calories a couple of days and 1000 calories on one day last week and I ended the week with only 1000 calorie deficit. Must have been water weight from cutting way the heck back on Pepsi. I donno. I'll take it but I dont think I earned it.

Wedding Suit..
Hey :) One of the main reasons I had started my weight loss journey back in April last year was because my cousin was getting married and I wanted to look alright in the suit at the wedding. I'd never worn or owned one before (for obvious reasons) and was determined to not only fit into one but look good at the wedding.…
