I'm lounging in jeans with no stretch!!
I just realized this morning as I put them on for the 2nd day that I'm sitting around the house (very rainy Memorial Day weekend here) NOT in sweats, comfy pajamas, etc., but in JEANS. With NO stretch. And they're irregulars (they're how I measure when I hit a certain level of thin) they're Old Navy skinny jeans that have…

Tattoo to recognize your efforts/goals @ weight loss?
Has anyone gotten 1 to symbolize your hard work? I would love to get one that has to do w/ perseverance (since I've been at this SOOOOOO long). Would a tattoo artist help w/ that idea? I am sure they would. What has anyone gotten?

Complete lifestyle overhaul
Yesterday I completed my final exam and that means I have completed university.....I was literally over the moon and in most cases I would probably have had a celebratory meal and go clubbing and mostly likely be stupidly drunk. However, yesterday instead I decided to walk in town which is a good 20k there and back, bought…

Happy 2-Month MFP Anniversary to Me!
I joined two months ago today, and as of this morning have lost 30 pounds! And that's after a week-long business trip and a two-week vacation in Ireland. I still have a long way to go, but am closer now than I have been in years. Today I am celebrating the small steps with a bike ride through the park :flowerforyou:

Best Day EVER!
Other than my wedding of course :laugh: Today start's a 4-day weekend for my husband and I. We started it off with taking the dogs to the groomers and my car to get the oil changed. While killing time waiting for the dogs and car to be done, we headed to base for an appt, and then went to a Verizon store to play with the…

Oh My they don't fit!
I went to a clothing store the other day and for the first time in my life I walked out empty handed. Why? They did not have a size small enough to fit me in the style and color I needed! Granted I am only down to a size 8, but it was a good feeling!

4 pds and 4% in 4 weeks
Finally noticed a change on the scale this week... after uping my calories. I talked to a trainer and he told me to double my protein and up my calories to 2000 - I work out every night. 2 pds and 2% this week alone... I am so confused....lol

In the course of then until now i've gotten divorced, moved....twice, quit my job, gone back to school, and started a career in real estate. Oh and I have a 2 year old too. I…

Hi 170's! You Look Familar, Did We Go to High School Togethe
I finally broke into the 170's!!! I haven't been in the 170's since my senior year of high school, I think. And in my opinion, I look better than when I was in HS because I've been working out. I also managed to lose 2 1/2 pounds this week, thanks to Jillian Michaels and the 30 Day Shred. It's my second full week of doing…

How cool is that?
I was wrapped a few months ago when I fitted into a Size 16 pair of jeans. Now I went out tonight and managed to fit into a SIZE 14!!!!! I can't even remember when I could fit a Size 14....at least not before my first child about 24 years ago! Whoo hoo! Sort of gives you the incentive to keep going. I have just passed the…

Started at 165, in three weeks I was at 157, stayed there for ten days then over a week dropped to 153, stayed there for another week including a brief cold, recovered and dipped…

25 lost, 50 to go!
Well I finally hit my first milestone. 1/3 of the way there! Getting better at not be impatient with "slow loss" weeks. Still a little hard when the weight doesn't move for a week or more. With summer coming up, it means picnics and fairs. Since I can't pass on ALL of the tasty food, looks like I am going to have to bump…

How have YOUR eating habits changed?
I have been on this weight loss/lifestyle change journey since January now, and I must say that I have noticed an INCREDIBLE difference in the way that I eat now compared to my "fat days". :bigsmile: For example, I have changed not only what I eat but how often I eat. I used to eat a huge breakfast...two or three bowls of…

32 POUNDS.. Is it really that heavy
Today I was walking on the treadmill at work with my Friend. We were using hand weights and the thought occured to me that I had lost 32 lbs so far. Well 33 but I gained 1 back!!!!! :-( So I paused the treadmill and found 24lbs of weights to carry and walked on the treadmill carrying these for a couple of minutes. My…

Why didn't I track?? (body fat %)
At my gym, there is frequently one of those handheld fat monitor things. I think they use electricity currents to determine body fat %, as well as the information you enter (height, weight, age, male/female) and also produces a BMI reading. Now toward the beginning of this journey, I think I used it and it told me 30% body…

Have been running pretty consistently but pushed myself for 5 miles today. And I did it. I've never felt more proud of myself, and I just had to share it with all of you guys. Granted, yes, I've been working hard at running, but I never could have pushed myself as hard as I did today this time 3 months ago.…

Running from 1k to 16k distances in 4-5 months
Last night I ran further than I have ever run before. I always set myself new targets, whether that be faster, longer, higher inclines etc. Up until last night the furthest I had run was 12k and what was nice about last night was once I went 12k I had no target so just kept running for the fun of it. I just carried on…

**Here's what 20 POUNDS of FAT looks like **

SO, I'VE LOST **4 of these** as of TODAY!!! WHOOT WHOOT!!!...Basically like giving birth to 4 -- 5 pound babies!!! AMAZING!!! :drinker:…

Sometimes Success doesn't come from weight loss
Well I got my blood work back today. I will post the numbers sometime tomorrow. The good news is with eating very low carb for the past 2 months I haven't lost very much weight, BUT I have some GREAT news to share. My cholesterol is normal, which it usually is. My triglycerides need to come down just a hair, like about 3…
