Lost 10%!!
29 pounds! I'm so excited. I've read that losing 10% of your body weight, lowers your risk for heart attacks and lowers your blood pressure and your chance for diabetes and all that good stuff. I'm so excited. I can't really see a difference yet, but oh well. That just pushes me for the next 10%. :)

tommy hilfiger size 14!
found the coolest pants at goodwill - jeans with a pale brown and blue paisley design with a substantial flair at the bottom. very hippy chic. i thought i would pick them up and hope to be able to fit in them come fall - i wasn't expecting to be able to get them over my bum at all. when i came home and tried them on, i…

Just a little ..
I am just excited and proud of myself, because all I used to do was just sit on the couch all day and watch TV or be on the computer, and yesterday I got up and did a 1 mile walk video on Comcast on Demand with Leslie Sansone, and I finished it all the way through ..and today I did it again. So I went from couch to 2 miles…

Down 7 lbs today!
I am down 6.8 technically, but today for the first time since starting my new healthy lifestyle I'm having a skinny day. Those are very rare in my book. Seldom do they decide to rear their heads, BUT today I took hold and boy does it feel good. I actually feel lighter today. It could be because this morning my husband…

Lunch success
I'm so proud of myself! I stopped at Einstein's Bagels to pick up lunch today. I guess I should have asked what was on their "Tasty Turkey" sandwich, but I didn't. I happened to see the girl behind the counter glopping, not spreading, but glopping cream cheese on a bagel.:noway: I went over to the clerk and asked what came…

Vending machine conversation...
So, some may not think of this as a success, however; I do! I had to go to school tonight and had some what of a stressful night. Usually when this happens, I hit the vending machines for something either salty or sweet. I headed up the stairs with money in hand ready to buy something, anything to cure my craving. I stood…

I can't believe I did it!
Well I took on the challenge that some posted on here about not drinking soda. I was going to wait until my pack of coke zero was gone but instead today I was sick of the way I was feeling and honestly I get bloated when I drink it and cant stand that so I THREW IT IN THE TRASH!!!!! I am so proud of myself!!!! Off to the…

I'm a size smaller!
Not everywhere but definitely on top. :happy: So, I got my first bikini top when I was 17. It was on sale at Target and I didn't have a job so my sister bought it for me so I could tan my stomach. We weren't allowed to wear two pieces in my family, so that was my excuse to have it (even though my mom didn't know). The only…

1st Weigh In
I decided to get on the scale a month later after joining MPF and after changing my lifestyle. I was very anxious to see if I had lost or had not. Sometimes I felt like whoa look at me and other times I felt nothing has change. So last night I jumped on the scale (Originally wanted to wait for Monday, but I was feeling…

Yes Mom I Have Knee Bones:)
I am not a fan of shorts and used to avoid them at all costs. I would be at the swimming pool in long pants and a t-shirt LOL. The other day I decided to wash my car and for some reason grabbed a pair of shorts to put on. I was surprised that they looked pretty good on me and I was ok going out in public with them on. Well…

I have lost 35 pounds since starting MFP and more than 45 pounds from my heaviest at 304 pounds. Even though 255 is not a weight I am happy with, it is a milestone just in…

So I need some new clothes....
and since I'm not quite to my goal yet I thought I should go to a thrift store, see what I could find for cheap. Some "interim" clothes if you will. Imagine my happy surprise when I found some calvin klein jeans in excellent condition for $3! Yes, THREE DOLLARS! Well that feeling was nothing compared to buying them... in a…

Half Way There
I have finally reached the half way point, 26lbs off! I'm so pleased! To 'celebrate' my loss last night I made a conscious decision to go through my wardrobe and try on all my clothes! I'm sure like many of you out there, I had a lot of clothes that were always too tight, but bought anyway to slim into... these are all a…

(¯`*•.¸,¤°´`°¤,¸.•*´¯)So I haven't checked my BMI on here in a LONG time...maybe since joining, and when I started I was right on the obsese/overweight line and today I am on the healthy/overweight line. So I have moved down one whole section! Now that feels pretty darn good!!! Just wanted to share with someone!

My favorite jeans are falling off of me!
Although I haven't weighed myself in about two weeks now, I have noticed my clothes fitting much better. In the past few weeks, my favorite pair of jeans have become loose, especially after wearing them more than once b4 washing. Today they fell down so much I had to change into something else. Just two months ago my…

Another mini success
My boyfriend is usually reluctant to involve himself in my weight loss because he's too conscious of the double meaning (i.e. if he supports me, he thinks he's encouraging me to get thinner because he doesn't like how I am now... which is not true). Today, though, I was chilling over at his place and he admitted that I am…
