It's the little things...
Last night I was so pumped to come home and fix my meal only to find that my dog, who I love very much, had completely destroyed a Hefty bag of garbage across our entire apartment. Needless to say, my spirit was bruised and self-control wavering. My husband was going to be home soon so I called him to pick up food on his…

One year later (proof MFP works!)....
Hello! I don't usually post, but I thought that I would share my journey over this past year. I joined MFP in Feb of 2009, although I did not actually start logging daily until June 1, 2009. My goal has been to lose 1 pound a week, to make the lifestyle change easier (and less likely to fall back into past habits) and to…

work biggest loser winner!!!!
We started a biggest loser competition at work as I'm sure many people have, and I'm the winner!!!! I lost 30lbs, the runner up lost 15lbs, and no one else would even step on the scale. Cha ching! I'm buying myself a new dress.

A HUGE first for me!
I just jogged one whole mile without stopping!!! That's quite an accomplishment for me. With the exception of three swim seasons in High School (more than 12 years ago) I've always been anything but athletic. I've decided to set fitness goals for myself lately so that I have something to focus on other than the scale. I…

Cancer AND Baby Weight...Gone!
Tomorrow is the first anniversary of my final round (of 18!) of chemotherapy for breast cancer. Not only am I now alive and healthy, but I'm also fit and -- dare I say? -- thin. I wore a strapless dress to a wedding this weekend to proudly display my healthy head of hair, peeking-out collar bones, and toned arms. (Sorry,…

Today I'm doing the HAPPY DANCE BIG TIME!!!!! I DID IT!!! I lost those 43 pounds that sneaked up on me over the years! I reset my goals several times along this journey. Each time that I reached my goal, I celebrated and then decided to set a new, more challenging one. Well, today the scale tells me that I am indeed AT THE…

New job...but work clothes are too big
Yay for me. I got a new job today as an intern that could lead to full time employment when I graduate next year (keeping my fingers crossed). My problem is that I've lost about 1- 1 1/2 sizes, so my "professional" clothes don't fit me anymore. These are plus sizes, so a 22 is really big on my 18/20 body now. I am a…

So I didn't upload the pics to photo bucket or anything, but I put some "after" pics in my profile if anyone is interested. My before has my chubby face and red bra, after is pink bra. My before is at about 165?? (HW:171) And my after is about 150 (CW:148). Still a ways to go, but proud of myself so far!

It wont be long before I am back at the weight I was before i fell of the Health Wagon. I am looking forward to being back in my thinner jeans, less muffin top and to be…

So... last night, I finally got around to throwing a dumbbell on my scale to see how accurate it was. It was OVERESTIMATING by 2 lbs.!! Which means, I REALLY weigh 159 and not 161!!! That also means...I'm officially half done, woo hoo! 19 more to go! I just want to know when I lost those 2 lbs... sneaky weight loss, that's…

CELEBRATE A VICTORY!!
I love to celebrate victories, regardless of how small they might seem. I decided to start encouraging some of my friends with their victories and then decided that EVERYONE should get to boast about their victories and be told GOOD FOR YOU! THAT'S A VICTORY AND YOU'VE DONE WELL!! Mine so far today: Drank 9 glasses of…

The neck thing is weird!
When I first started logging my measurements I was puzzled as to why MFP asks you to record your neck measurements - surely the progress won't be that noticeable in that area? Well I have just taken my measurements and have lost an inch around my neck in the past two weeks - that's the same as the lost from around my…

Bikini shopping
Okay, I swore to myself that I would refrain from posting about my successes because I know there are people out there who are struggling very hard and have worked much harder than I have, and I applaud and respect each and every one of you who has resolved to change your lifestyle to a healthier one. But I am so excited…

Interval training
So, usually when I "walk/run", I just run for as long as I can and then walk until I feel comfortable enough running again. I could burn a fair amount of calories but today I thought...I'm going to really do an interval. I got on the treadmill, aiming for 30 minutes and I ran more frequently and longer than I have ever…
