Small Victory - Chow down, Write down
My simple victory is that I have logged for 5 days straight! Go me! Go me! Go me! (maybe I can add this little dance to my exercise log). So people would tell me that writing down everything you ate actually helped you loose weight. BLAH right! whatever! with a big "W". But, um...it's true. If it passes these lips it goes…

Changes! 80 days --- Pics inside now work!
I started my weight loss changes 80 days ago and since then I've lost 16lbs and lots of inches (Unfortunately I have not been measuring. I probably should) according to my old size 18 pants. My starting weight 80 days ago was 241.8lbs. My weight in the first picture is probably more. I am a little uncomfortable to even…

15 Pounds in 10 days!
Hello. I just thought I should write about something I thought I never could do -- massive and fast weight loss. 14 days ago my weight was 232 pounds. Today it is 217. I have been overweight for a long time. I am 45 years old. I am 6 foot 2 inches tall, a big guy. I justified my weight for years because of this. After not…

The difference 40 pounds make
My weight has yo-yo'd a bit ever since I moved down south (8 years ago) and discovered fried food, biscuits and gravy, and sweet tea. My sisters always told me that eventually my teenage metabolism would slow down and I'd gain weight but I had to learn the hard way, of course. So I will start off by saying that at 16, I…

"New" old outfit
I wore a skirt with a matching top to work this morning. I felt really pretty in it. When my boss walked in the door the first thing he said was "Dennis (my hubby) let you out of the house like that?" I said "if that is your way of saying I look nice, Thanks!" I stopped at home on my lunch hour and my 14 year old daughter…

Half way!!!
Well I just had to share my success, I am at my halfway point!!!! I've lost 33 pounds, something I didn't think was possible since it's taken me over a year. I've learned that with PCOS everything takes double the time and double the effort, but with that I have made it happen, slowely but surely! I'll see you again in 31…

One Goal Reached!
Lane Bryant shoppers will definitely get this. I started out in a size 5 right fit jean in April. My secret goal was to get back in my size 3 right fit jeans in time to go to the midnight show of Eclipse with my hubby. I am pleased to report that I slid into this jeans with room to spare last night and I topped it off with…

A sales lady asked if I needed help so I told her that I neede a nice outfit but I was not sure what I was looking for. She suggested that I pick out a few…

Two Milestones
Hey all, Just had to share. This week I broke through the 250 barrier - I've lost 34 pounds in roughly 4 months. I have a ways to go, but this is a big milestone for me! Then this morning, I tried on a pair of size 40" pants that I've been using to test my progress. They fit! I was skeptical, so I tried on three other…

Baltimore Womens Classic 5k
Hey Everyone!!! :flowerforyou: I have successfully completed my second 5k and every single one of the goals I'd set for myself. My first race was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be.

I've reached another set goal
I am so excited today because when I got on the scale this morning, I've Iost a total of 29 pounds including the pounds I lost before joining MFP. I am only 10 pounds away from my ideal weight.

Officially Normal Weight
After 3 years of loosing weight, today I crossed a new threshold. According to the BMI scale I am now classed as within the normal weight range. Ok, I'm right on the outer limit of what is classed as normal, but none the less I can't think of a time, any time during my adult life where I've not been overweight. Here is my…

I FINALLY see a change!!
I've not always been really heavy, but I was never the skinny girl in school. I always had a bit more than average. After high school, I started working retail..good for the walking everywhere, bad for the stress. I was way stressed and was constantly eating for 2, other I was NOT pregnant. I never realized how bad I was…

Hi, I posted a suggestion in the "Website Suggestions/Feedback" board for a new board dedicated to maintenance issues.

Yet another before & after pic post
So the first picture is the one taken in December, by a very considerate friend, as I was eating one of her amazingly delicious homemade chocolate truffles. She posted it, as well as several others, on facebook! I was absolutely mortified! And thoroughly disgusted with myself, so much so that I used it as my MFP profile…
