Lost about half of my clothes today
I have been on here for about a month or so but I started losing weight last year. I've lost about 22 lbs so far. I still have about 40 lbs to go. I figured I would go through my closet at this time since it appears as if I fit into 4 different sizes. I have some things that are a 10 and things that range up to a 16. So I…

MAJOR Goal Accomplished II
Good afternoon all!!! I was asked to give an update to a previous post. My major goal in this journey has been to lose my need for FAT DRUGS, i.e., BP medicine, potassium because of BP medicine, and high cholesteral pills. Before I left on vacation, I sent a post reporting that my cholesteral went from 224 to 159 :happy: I…

My first half- marathon
Went for my morning run today and ended up just keeping going... ended up thinking i'll do an extra mile after the 10k, felt ok, just set my sights on the half and ran through. I just kept an even pace, wasn't overly tired, just had to fight a mental battle whether to call it quits after an hour and go home and get settled…

Jeans
So about 3 years or so ago, I got a comment about how tight my jeans looked on me. Well, eventually I went shopping for more jeans and realized I had been wearing small jeans for too long and had actually jumped a size! Fast forward to yesterday. I'd been wearing those jeans I'd bought after skipping a size for a while and…

April Vs. June - Pics
Posted 3 new pictures to my profile. I took pics of myself in Mid-April just after a morning workout, before breakfast. The new pictures are from this morning, before breakfast. I chose to stop working out about 4 weeks ago, and I've been dropping weight, and inches. Working out made me more muscular, which runs in my…

Maintained on vaca!
I just did a weigh in and I am delighted to say I maintained my weight during my vacation! We did a lot of hiking but I also did a LOT of EATING. Most days I did pretty good but went crazy on couple of days Like the day my kids chanted "Ice cream for breakfast, and for some crazy reason I gave in. LOL. Anyway, I am back…

OMG!
I've lost 3 inches in my bellybutton waist and 3 inches in the smallest part of my waist!!! In 6 days! I have been staying below my calories and drinking about 4 glasses of water a day but could that just be water-weight? I was at 140 lbs but don't have a scale. I have been cleaning house/offices on just 2 of those 6 days,…

NEW BEFORE & AFTERS
Every now and then I like to post B&A pics because I am amazed at myself when I look at my before and think “Why in the heck didn’t anyone tell me I looked like this!” The before was at about 185 lbs and afters are current at around 150 lbs give or take a lb. I LOVE MFP!!!!

Single Digits!!
So I'll probably never forget the day I bought my first size 10s and really KNEW without being able to deny it that I'd been steadily gaining weight since I got married. Since I've been working hard with MFP the more recent 12/13s and then the older 10s were getting bigger and bigger and bigger... so today I decided to…

Within 2 pounds of my goal!
I am finally within reach of my goal to drop 70 pounds. My fitness pal has been with me since about the 35 pound mark. This site has been instrumental in getting the rest of the way. It has not been easy, and at times I wondered if I was on the right track. If you are consistent with your exercise and diet, you can do it!

Was I really like that????
I have to apologize in advance for the long post and thank you if you make it all the way through. I don’t know if this is considered a success story but this is where I thought it fit. So I read of lot of posts about how a person’s mental and emotional health has changed once they started losing weight. I decided to ask…

31's? That must be vanity sizing, right? and "slight"-ed
I found a pair of desiel jeans at G'will for five bucks but they were 31 waist. I tried them on and they fit. The button closed right up. I've been wearing 34's for most of the last ten years, I figured I'd be a 32 by now, but 31? That's like high school territory. I tried a different 31" today and they even seemed big.…

Finally - Major Milestone Reached! Thanks to all your motiv
So, I posted a few months ago - and the support was overwhelming. I can't believe how many times I went back and read the comments in order to motivate myself to get a good workout in! I mentioned previously that it was supposed to be me 'giving back' some motivation through my post - instead I got MORE motivation! So, in…

First week down
A combination of some good eating, logging absolutely everything, right down to every single cup of tea with a dash of skimmed milk and some good solid exercise (running in my case) and I have shed 6 lbs in the first week. I went to see a band last night and afterwards I had a late drive home of about an hour, I…

A Small Success Story!
So I saw an old battle buddy today (that I had not seen since before Christmas) and he was startled when he saw me. He said "bro, did you re-enlist? You look like you did when we were in". Gosh that was good! He had gotten used to me being fat. The other success was that i was at the gym (just finished doing giant sets and…

My Wii says I'm NORMAL!!
I started my weight loss journey in January of this year, and my Wii told me that I was obese (not that it was a secret!) It was nice to see it switch to overweight a few months ago, but this morning, it made a special noise and said that my weight was NORMAL!! :) I still have about 20 lbs to go to hit my goal weight, but…

I LOST ALMOST A WHOLE POUND!
Okay, you may think "WOOOOOW, not EVEN a whole pound", but let me explain. April 12 my first mini goal was to weigh 160. I got on the scale and saw 161. I counted it as success. Then I went out that night for my 21st birthday and you guessed it: drank a lot of alcohol. 6 shots and 1 drink to be exact. Most of those shots…

Cutting calories
I thought that having to cut my calories to 1350 a day would be a killer, I thought I would starve! But no, I am doing so good, I am so proud of myself! I don't really get to hungry, only in the mornings before lunch, but it doesn't kill me. Every day when I calculate what I have eaten for the day I always hit my mark, or…

A stranger at the gym made my day!
So I was at the gym today in the locker room, and this woman was doing her hair in the mirror. She turns to me and said "I just have to tell you how good you look! I have been coming here for four months and I see you here all the time, and you look so good. You can see the difference and tell you've been working hard!" I…

Celebrating the big 40 bday
I started out this journey to a new me a little over a year and a half ago, with the theme "fit by forty". Well, today is my 40th birthday and I'm well on my way to it. My original hope, which was aggressive, was to be down 150 lbs by my 40th birthday...I'm almost there....121 is not too darn shabby I think. And while I'm…

Losing inches instead of lbs. even though not much exercise?
I understand that when you workout you build muscle and muscle weighs more than fat so a person could lose inches and not lbs or inches faster than lbs. Thing is I didn't measure when I started this and keep forgetting to do it since starting. But this weekend I got into a size 12 jeans instead of the 14s I'd been wearing…

Down 22 pounds after 4 months!
This site is just what I needed........I've gone from a Size "14" to a Size "8" in only 4 months! I'm 50+ years old and it is much more difficult to lose weight in your 50's, but it's been pretty easy on this site. I've religiously logged in my food every day, and it works!!
