Juice/Veggie Detox?
Has anyone done this and do you have any tips? I heard about it on some infomercial and was wondering if this can be done with your own juice/veggies. I have read on numerous websites that it actually has health benefits.

Before/After (During) Pics
I didn't really realize how much I have changed until I uploaded some pics last night from a gig a few days ago. Looking back, I wore the same shirt to a gig earlier in the year and holy mother of pearl, I am starting to look like the old me again after losing the past 30 pounds since joining MFP! I am loving the progress…

I can see it now - sort of
These are my first before and after photos. The first one was taken at a friend's 21st birthday party just over a year ago when I weighed a bit more than I did when I first joined MFP and the second was taken during pre-graduation celebrations last week. I can't find a 'before' picture that is full length because I didn't…

My 1st real success
I knew today would be a special day. So it started off like any other day with me just hopping on the scale right out of bed (after a quick potty break) and I appear to be on pace to lose for my official weigh in on Sunday. Good. Then I start the scramble to find something to wear to work. My normal rotation of clothes are…

30-DAY BIGGEST LOSER JUMP START=DONE!!!!
This month has been difficult, changing, but all in all amazing =) I am so freakin proud of myself right now haha because I lasted a whole month trying to accomplish what I want. My willpower has never lasted this long and for once it is nice to know that I am FINALLY making this change because by golly, I really want it…

Someone noticed at last!
Just had to share as no-one I know cares, but a friend finally noticed my weight loss! I was so pleased I could have hugged her (she's not a touchy person either so would have been v. scared!!) I've gone from 12st 10lbs to 10st since December and not one person has mentioned it, so I've been getting a bit disheartened. I…

down another inch this weekend
I feel like I've pigged out but stayed close to my calories. Eating the fuel I need is making sense more and more to me:) I feel like writing a book called "I starved my way to obesity". No, I haven't ever gotten as far over weight as some but it was too much for my frame. Eating less calories never got me to a healthy…

Before and During pictures...50 pounds down!
Ok, y'all, I still have about 65 pounds to go, but today marked a major milestone of 50 pounds lost! I am so excited and impressed with myself. I just wanted to share my "before" and "during" pictures. The first picture is actually a month and a half before I started losing weight, but I was the same size then. I look like…

Newbie Little (teeny tiny) victories! :)
Hey! I'm a little bit excited today because I've just had the most lovely newbie breakthrough! I've only started 3 weeks and lost 4lbs in that time. But today I put on my favourite jeans that had got too tight and the fitted perfectly! No need to suck that gut in and squeeze in, it was as if they were tailor-made! I just…

Reached my target!
I have tried to lose a little bit of weight for quite some time, without much success. Then my buddy told me about this website and I joined him on it. I started in April and have lost 32 pounds... and as of today I am 1 pound BELOW my goal! I put in a lot of work to get where I am, but MFP really helped and made it easy…

small success story!
I can now fit into a size 14! I'm down to 188 starting weight 197. wooo!

I need to share my excitement!!!
Some bullets of just some things I'm really excited about the last couple days!! - I lost half a pound today (after not losing weight for a couple weeks (1 lb) and then before that, TWO MONTHS) - I had to tighten my running shorts this morning because when I started to run, they started to fall!! (Yesterday, they fit…

Can't Stop Shopping!!
I am not even halfway through my weight-loss journey yet, but already rather than the weight loss - the shaping/toning has made a HUGE difference to me! I haven't dropped a dress size or anything so wonderful, but everything is so much more "comfortable" and starting to look great!! I have a whole new problem now.....I…

25lbs.... GONE!
Ok so my official weigh-in isn't until tomorrow but I did step on the scale this morning and to my delight it read 225! I could not have done this without the support of my wonderful husband, who has also lost over 25lbs! Picture this...Christmas 2009. I HATE this picture and my puffy face. You can even tell where my wrist…

best mile time for me.. ever!
My best mile time, ever, was in 7th grade, and it was about 9:30. Sadly, 10 weeks ago my mile time was a little over 12 minutes. I was so ashamed! I'm happy to say that I ran the mile in 9:03 Tuesday night, my new best time! My goal was 8:59, so I hope to run that in a few weeks! (:

Just feel so damn good!
I think this is the plan i have been waiting for. Counting the calories has really opened my eyes to portion sizes and high calorie/fat foods. I am 100% confident that I will be at my goal weight within a year. This isnt a diet at all. Its an eye opener to living life a healthier way. I love readying all the succes…

Feeling Good!
I am feeling so great right now that I just needed to share it! I'm going to be a bridemaid for one of my friends this September, and when we all first went to look at BM Dresses I was feeling pretty down, as the store only carried size 6 dresses for people to try on. I was all depressed and anxious, and it only made…

My First 5K
Last month I ran (actually jogged) my first 5K. By far, one of my biggest accomplishments to date. As a teenager and since, I hated the idea of running and avoided it any way possible. Though, at the same time, admired those who did because it seemed so out of my reach. When I started this life-style change last year, my…

15 lbs and one side down!
Today I'm celebrating that I have officially lost 15 lbs. I've lost weight before, but I don't think I've ever made it this far (of course I wasn't starting from as high either, lol!). I'm wearing my skinny jeans to work today :-) I had a pile of smaller clothes in my closet that I've now been able to incorporate back into…

My fastest mile!
Today I ran as much as I could (training for a 1k this Sunday) and I ended up walking/running a mile in 12 minutes! I ran 0.44 miles of it, 5 minutes was warm up and then the rest was walking in between running.

Just fat, no longer obese..HA!!
Have lost a total of 36 pounds since April 2nd....thought I would get "fat analyzed" --wish I had done this at the start but didn't really think about it....but today went and I am now 44.5% body fat--thank god I didn't go when I was 228# or the scale would have yelled for me to get off!! HA!! anyway, since weight loss…

I'm in single digits!!!!
Ladies and Gents, I am now wearing a pair of pants that are size 8. OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: When I was in high school I wore a size 13 and when I realized that I could no longer wear pants that didn't have a space for my plump booty :wink: I went into a size 12 misses. So I've never, ever…

Major Milestone!
Today I reached the weight I was when I graduated from highschool. I graduated at the age of 17 and what I thought was a horrific weight of 195#. Little did I know that it would be 29 years later before I would see that weight again. I topped the scales at 305#( I did that almost 3 times). I lost hundreds of pounds over…

Losing Inches!!! Now I'm happy...
After losing a little over 10 lbs and then sitting at the same weight and bouncing back and forth between a couple of pounds since I began my new health journey - along with reduction in calories, eating much more healthier and 3-4 days of exercise... I wondered what was going on. Like, why is my scale against me? So today…

Showed my Wii Fit what was up...
Not bad for a night weight, and my BMI went down like 2pts and droped -19.2 since last time I got on the thing :)

Before and during!
Today was the first day I remembered to try on all those clothes that never fit for the last six years! Well....to my surprise....all those clothes that I really truly never thought would ever fit...well...THEY FIT! So many times I almost tossed them but didn't because of some fleeting hope that these cool things would…

50 pounds and AMAZING inches lost!
I just had to brag on myself a little bit tonight. I started my weight loss journey in January of this year. I am almost six months into it and have lost 50.9 pounds and 55 1/2 inches! I just have to share what my total inches lost are! Here they are: Neck: 1 3/4 inches Left bicep: 3 1/4 inches Right bicep: 3 inches Left…

My first run in probably a year
I just came back from running with a friend... it's the first time I've pushed myself to run in over a year... it's certainly been a rough one, I'm glad I feel like I don't have to hide in my room anymore. I miss running (even though my calves are burning!) and I'm really excited to train for the 5K I'll be running in…
