I weigh what?!
So this morning I weighed myself. I was 124 at my last weigh in and would have been happy with 123. I got in the digital scale and it said 120. I knew the scale had to be wrong so I weighed myself on one of the manual ones and it said the same thing. I still couldn't believe it so I weighed myself one more time on the…

Yeah me!!!
Finally I am back under the 200lb mark and even better I am just overweight now. It's weird to be happy about being overweight but a whole lot better than being obese. Only 30-35 more pounds to go and then to just keep them off. I think being on MFP has help me be more concious of what I'm eating so I can keep it off this…

woohoo!! 51/51 reached
That is 51 lbs lost, 51 lbs to go. Halfway there!! I will admit I was a little overwhelmed when I started about haveing to lose in the triple digets but now I am feeling so motivated. I keep thinking well, I have lost 51 lbs once, I can certainly do it again!! Sure it may take a little longer but I am willing to deal with…

Happy Birthday to me!
I've been on MFP since last September and have really enjoyed it. I'll give another update on my MFP Anniversary, but today is my birthday. The BIG 47 (if there is such a thing). I weigh less today than I have since the year 1988 or so. I also feel pretty darn good...for an old man. I haven't really improved my nutrition…

OMG OMG OMG,,,,,,, a number 1!
Well I was on the radio 2 weeks ago, promoting weight loss to truck drivers, and MFP. You would have thought I was a salesperson for MFP!! I have made 1 new friend from that 10 minute radio spot. I admitted my high weight and current weight, to everyone that was listening, and how long I had been here. Last night, I sent…

One month in..and I'm loving the results!
I was so excited when my friends asked me to go swimming today because I'm finally not embarrassed to be in my swimsuit without a coverup on! I don't weigh myself regularly and I'm not sure where I started out for measurements but in the last week I lost an inch off my hips, 2 off my bust, and one off my waist. Starting:…

before and half-way (pics!)
I joined a biggest loser program in April, and it lasted 10 weeks. You really can do anything that you put your mind to! I still have about 20 more pounds to go: p.s. i love before and after pics, so anyone is free to post theirs!!

no longer pre-diabetic :)
So, I've been pre-diabetic ever since I got gestational diabetes during my pregnancy, and my doctor kept telling me if I lost weight, it would go away. So now that my baby is 4 1/2 years old, and 4 years of me taking Metformin to control my blood sugar, after getting serious a couple months ago and losing around 20 pounds…

A small sucess for hubby and I
I began this journey just over a month ago, and my hubby joined about 2 weeks ago now. We chose to have our babies back to back, so for the past 3 years I have been prego. I ate what I wanted, he followed my lead. We both gained weight, which was so frustrating, as we were in the best shape of our lives before we chose to…

Skinny Jeans (Again!)
I am back down into the 170's (and in my smallest jeans) for the third time inthe last 12 months. Both of the other times I drifted back into the 180's again. Not this time, I say! I only want to lose 15 more and I can do it!
-
Wow, way better this time around!
I'm down another lb and 2 inches in my waist. I really hope to encourage folks. Especially those that were here before like me, and now coming back to MFP. It is going so much better as I didn't have to learn all over again how to lose fat and shape up. I have a long way to go(for me)but it is going, that's the main thing.…

Milestone: Finally under 200 lbs
For the first time in at least a decade (maybe 15 years) I've dropped below 200 pounds, 199.5 as of this week's weigh in. I started my journey in November of last year at 270 lbs. I was motivated after a trip to Alaska last summer where I was sidelined from many of the activities because I simply couldn't handle the…

My mind seems to finally be...
catching up to what my body has been doing! So, my mind really has taken this long to catch up with my weight loss I don't know why I thought my mind would just instantly be like..."okay, now you're 104 pounds lighter, so I'm totally going to change immediately!" I have to remember that my I was morbidly obese for about 15…

skin reduction surgery?
As some of you know, I have lost quite a big of body fat over the last year and a half. I have spent this time building a lean, carved, athletic physique. My weight loss and body shaping was intentionally gradual as to allow the elasticity of the skin to naturally recover. However, despite my best efforts, there has…

6 months just flew by
Hey, Hadn't posted in a while so I thought I would say how things were going. Today I weighed myself after being on a bit of a plateau and to my surprise the scales finally budged. Not only had I now lost just short of 56 lbs but I entered the 170's and it felt great. It spurred me on to go for a walk early in the morning…

Very inspirational story I found
A friend emailed this link to me a few days ago. It's a long story, but so incredibly inspirational. If this guy can make these changes and permanently change himself, we all can. http://www.pmsclan.com/forum/showthread.php?t=54188

The BIG 4-0!
Ok, not a birthday, but I think it's even better. I'm not one to gloat or post much, but I felt the need after the last few weeks I've had! This morning (not my usual weigh-in, but considering I've got my brother's wedding all weekend, I figured I'd see where I stand prior to the festivities!) I weighed in at 227.0! That…

Small Victory!!!
I have to run into town this afternoon to buy a new dress for my friend's birthday tonight because all of my other clothes are too big! I think this is a cause for celebration! I would love it if you guys would share your small victories too - I'd love to hear about them!

3 weeks and 6 more pounds
Hello again. As I stated in my previous post; I lost 20 PBS in 2 months but was stagnant for 3 weeks. Since I joined my fitnesspal I have lost 6 more pounds. I am over a 3rd of the way to my 70 lb lost goal. 26 down and 44 to go. I am so stoked that I have already signed up for a marathon in March.

Just found an old picture of me! Then & Now
This was taken 2 summers ago but has shocked me in realising that my weight loss although gradual is definitely happening. About 6 months after this photo was taken i started dieting and going to the gym etc. I lost about 2 stone. Last year i relapsed and put about 1 stone back on. This is me now - what do you think of the…

Happy Dance
So this isn't much, but I have been on mfp for 6 days and I just got on the scale (I was trying to hold out til tomorrow but I couldn't wait any longer) and I am down three pounds. I wasn't expecting this at all, I figure one pound and I would be okay with half a pounfd, but three?? I needed some good success and I feel…

Mars bar vs. me
I stood in line at the Superstore, waiting for the cashier to process all the veggies and yogurt I was buying. I picked up a Mars Bar slim. I read the back and told myself that it wasn't much and thought how I really wanted some sweet, caramel chocolate. I placed it on top of my green beans. I stared at it and stared at…

4 pounds from my goal
So I joined this site at the end of May or maybe it was the start of June, I don't know. A co-worker pointed me to it and she's since dropped off from it. I've missed a few days but always try to fill in my diary. I really didn't expect to drop the weight as fast as I have considering I was stuck for a while but with a…

I started out on this being healthy adventure weighing in at 238 and I woke up this morning in the 180's:bigsmile: :bigsmile: Edited to add that…

it feels good when you get a "way to go" girl
I got my first compliment today on how good I am looking and it felt great. I have lost 20 lbs total (10 on mfp) and the last ten were the best I have never had it so easy counting calories. Only another 10 to go then I have to figure out the maintain part. Thank you MFP. I will be here for a while.
