Small little happy happy victory.
When I started this weight loss effort I had just graduated to a size 24. Well today I went shopping and bought some 14/16 size pants. I had meant them to be my mini goal pants but they already fit me really well. Guess I'll have to get a even smaller pair to keep me on track.

Good day, bad day
Good day - weighed myself today for first time in a few weeks. Have lost 6lbs in about 6 weeks and am now 11st 2. Aim is to lose another 6lbs by August (holiday). Bad day - England lost 4-1 to Germany in the World Cup.

Out of the 200's
Today when I weighed myself I was 199.5. I have definitely been here before when I've tried to lose weight but this time it feels different so it should be the last time I ever see 200 on the scale! I really can't wait to break 190 because I've never gotten below that when I've tried to lose weight. I started like 3 weeks…

Squee. I've reached my goal. Before and after pics...
It has taken me since September 2008 [with a six month maintenance break from June 2009 to Dec 2009] to get here. Now, my new challenge is to keep the lifestyle going and to find my happy maintenance calories :happy: Having been here before and put it all back on again, I'm not quite willing to trust myself not to track my…

"Pics" From 325lbs to 250lbs with abbs
Hello. I just got onto this site and would like to share my own (ongoing) success story. About 3 years ago, I moved to Houston to attend trade school with my good friend Roy (whom a loto of you already know). I spent a good deal of time broke and would often eat whatever was cheap enough to get on my limited budget. My…

Results are showing!
So when I first joined the gym I was 156lbs and 27.5% body fat which is ok but not what I wanted. At this time my 2nd child was 6 months old so I was able to put her into gym daycare while I worked out. Two weeks ago I got re measured and weighed. At that time it had only been 4 months since I joined the gym. I had lost…

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
Hello All. I have self-esteem issues...I always have and I get bouts of it now and then rather then all the time like I used to. My sister, realizing that I didn't feel as beautiful as I am, after just getting hit on by two guys who were both very decent, one four years younger than me and one that was a few years older. I…

Nearly healthy BMI!!!
Just did a check of the BMI thingy having lost a load of weight this week (combination of massive exercise, a bit of negative stress and careful eating). I'm within 0.6 of being in the healthy BMI range!!! YAY!!! I've been VERY careful with eating the last two weeks - staying within my WW points, not using much of the…

I'm officially down a size!
So I have been following my diet really well, exercising daily, and am down 18.2 pounds...This started when 12s were getting snug..but recently I noticed they were huge....so I went shopping at the goodwill today and bought a medium skirt, 2 pair of size 10 capris and size 10 jeans!!! All for only $17.00! And yesterday I…

I'm a twelve!!!
Last summer, I was fitting into some 12s but mostly 14s until I gained my 30 lbs around December...everything became too tight. I've been wearing my 14 dress pants (they're 12s but the fit is technically a 14) and 14 levi jeans (that are indeed 14s)... but lately, everything has become too loose in the waist but still…

I'm so excited-IT FITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I have been on a weight loss roller coaster pretty much all of my life. I joke with my friends that I am the Ohio Oprah. Up and down..you know the drill. However, typically before I get the weight off I have given up and gave all of my smaller clothes away. Not this time...this time my breaking point occured when my…

i lost 15 pounds!!!!
on june 28, 2009 i decided that it was time to change. i made an account on MFP and got to work. i lost 10 lbs last summer before i went back to school. i lost some weight at school and gained it back, but didn't really gain weight last year (unless i weighed on a sunday morning after being out the night before...) i came…

I can wear these???
A couple of years ago my 25 y/o son realized he had gained weight after high school and college (he played football - his build made him a lineman) and dedicated himself to getting in better shape. He never got near as big as I was, and he knew that he would be destined to go down that road if things didn't change. About a…

I'm so excited!!
I'm starting to get super excited about this whole weight loss thing! Managed so far to drop 11 lbs and now I have so many little milestones to look forward to that are soooo close! Rather than feeling totally lost in the dark with 30lbs to lose I can look forward to; losing another 4 lbs from now and being half way to my…

Annnnnnnndddddd IT FIIIIIIITTTTTTTSSSSS!!!!!
So I wanted to share a small success with everyone out there in MFP land. I broke down and got some new shorts/skirts/dresses because some of my old ones I can pull off without even undoing the button/zipper. I kept getting these catalogs for Athleta and always drooled over the clothes but never ordered because the stuff I…

A little pick-me-up!
So, I was a little discouraged this morning when I was only .4 pounds down from last week, even though I was lower last Saturday. I know all the stuff, weight varies, I'm probably retaining a little water from having really sore muscles, since I took last week off of the gym, but still...discouraging. THEN! I was looking…

Just had to do it..
I had to make a post to see that pretty number on my ticker! Woohoo! 11 pounds (well 10.8) since Mother's Day when my son bought me Wii Fit Plus!! L

No hips, yay!
This woman at my tennis lessons last night was marveling at my "narrow hips". That made my night....I mean, I never thought I had particularly wide hips, and that's not due to weightloss (it's the one area where I have been blessed), but it still made me happy. Then I was on a roll with my serves. I've always had a decent,…

halfway picture
I know I'm losing weight becuase of how my clothes fit, but when I look in the mirror I still can't see it. Then I looked at pictures of myself taken at the beginning of the year and compared it to one taken last week. I was so happy at the difference that I had to share. It was hard to find a "before" picture of me…

A Year Ago Today....
A year ago today, I was in the hospital for a chronic health condition. That experience was the impetus for making better decisions and taking control of my life. With the support of my (incredibly caring and committed) physician, I took steps to make my life better. An entire year has passed and my life has been…

Almost there...
Well, I have little more to go, but I am almost to my first goal. My husband came home, after 6 weeks of being away, and was very proud of how well I have been doing. I am proud of myself, for finally deciding to make a healthy change in my life. Thank you to everyone who kept pushing me. Everyone on this site is an…

Sometimes it's the smallest thing!
I just wanted to share something kind of funny. A month or so ago, my seatbelt did that "twist around and get stuck where it is" thing. You know what I'm talking about? Somehow it gets twisted in the actual buckle part and unless you take like 20 minutes out of your day to try and pry it out, you're screwed. THAT thing. So…
