Almost there! U can do it too
h i started last August at 280 pounds and today weigh 229! the main tool I used is a log both online here and a diary book. My goal was 225 which I really thought was unattainable. Now that I am within 4 pounds of that, I have reset my goals to 215. This is the lowest weight for me in over 25 years and I have not been 215…

Overweight...yeah me!
Lots of little victories... Yesterday I officially got down to being "overweight". No more obese for me! I am one pound away from hitting the 30 lb lost mark. (I am afraid to update my weight in case it doesn't stick.) We had our last official weigh in for my work Biggest Loser competition. In the 13 weeks of the…

I've got a big ego...
(It's a quote from a song, not a personal statement. LOL) I've had a rough week. I've put on a net of about three pounds, and reading some of your posts today got me thinking: why not brag? So go ahead, let everyone know what is great about you, or what you love about yourself, even if your transformation isn't yet…

Success!
So, a meaasurement drop in my HUGE thighs has been a looooooooooong time coming but I now fit back into my UK12 jeans BETTER than I did when I was thinner! I have lost 3.5 cms in two weeks and I'm so, so happy, and quite proud really to have FINALLY found a way to lose my out of proportion fat from my thighs :bigsmile:

how do you do what you do?
I can never find time to keep this update! I feel like people who commit a good amount of time to this site do well? Is this assumption true? How do you do what you do?

How Do I upload before and after pics?
I saw the other post about before and after pictures. I looked back at when I was my heaviest and then a picture that was taken a few months ago and I can't believe the difference. I really just wanted to post and brag :) I can't figure out how to get my pictures on a discussion though. Thanks.

Is she talking to me?
I had my first OMG I am kicking *ss moment yesterday. I normally just run in and around my neighborhood, but with the weather turning hot I decided to try out the treadmill in the fitness room at my apartment complex. I got set up, put the treadmill at a pace that felt normal to me, and started running. I ran for about 10…

Only 3 Pounds!!
I just started this last Saturday. I am down 3 pounds and feel great. I can't believe that I feel this great with having only lost 3 pounds. All the exercise and lots of water have given me so much energy and my clothes don't feel all clingy! Yes! I'll take 3 lbs!!

just started
This is day one of tracking my calories. I need this to work. It has to work. My weight must decrease because my marriage depends on it. I know my husband is embarassed to introduce me as his wife. I am embarrassed myself. I let my weight get out of control by eating. I want to look in the mirror and be proud of myself. I…

I had 1,157 calories for breakfast
You might be asking ... why is this a success? I only get 1,210 calories per day before exercise! :explode: But, here's why: I went a little over my calorie allotment for the morning. Okay ... WAY over. :embarassed: But, I'm okay with it. A year ago, this would have been normal. I would have gained weight. I would have had…

Going to brag a bit
About my husband!! He started this journey with me to support me in my weight loss goals, and to lose 10lbs for himself. His eating habbits have really changed for the better. I was cleaning up from supper and he wanted to know how many calories he had eaten, so we looked it up, and than he confessed to me that he had…

It Moved!
I have been having issues getting the scale to budge from 162. I lowered my intake to 1250 calories (after starting at 1500 and losing quickly), and I just stalled out. I decided to eat a bit more calories, and opposite of what seems logical, I got the scale to move! I weighed in today at 160- ssososoooosoooooo close to…

Suprised!!!
Since the weather here in WI has definitely been springlike, I decided to reward myself with a new pair of capris. I knew that a couple pair I already had were a little big so I picked the next size down. I decided that I better try them on just to be sure. I got a huge suprise. That size was also too big!! :bigsmile:…

I'm teaching aerobics again!!!!
My daughter turned 22 this week, and on her birthday I realized that I haven't been at this weight since before she was born!!! I'm 48 and since I was 18 I've taught dance, aerobics and cheerleading. I also have worked with numerous schools helping with chorography for their music departments. I stopped teaching back in…

Now I can do more- I'm talking correct form as well my husband is Army so he nit picks it and now I got it down. Tonight my daughter videoed me while my youngest counted to 10 thats how…

I'm a loser
So...at the school I teach, we decided to do our own "Biggest Loser." I started in January at 210, and the final weigh in was yesterday. I weighed in at 190 (on the school scales). My BL partner and I came in 3rd place.:drinker: Woo hoo, very proud. I will continue. :bigsmile:

A size down!
Today I went to get some new shorts since I'm lacking in that department. I took 10's and 8's into the dressing room. I tried the 8's first and to my surprise they all fit and I didn't have to touch the 10's! I didn't like the cut of them all, but I can fit into a size 8! I don't remember the last time I fit into an 8!…

I can fit both fists down the back of my jeans!
I swear I'm doing anything weird, by the way. It's just that there is all this extra space now!

it fit!!!
So this morning I was searching for something to wear (I need to do laundry so my choices are limited). I found a shirt in the back of my closet that I have not worn since last November. It was WAY too form fitting and showed more of my curves than necessary. I figured I'd try it on to see how much more I have to lose…

SURPRISE! said the scale at Wal-Mart
I was stressed about school and exams and my weight and my responsibilities, nothing seemed to be going my way. So I power-walked to Wal-Mart in search of a scale. I figured that everything was going wrong, I just needed to bite the bullet and see how much weight I had gained, so I could go to the gym and cry while running…

Beyond Cto5K !!
So I started Couch to 5K in July, and completed the 9 week program - able to run 3.1 miles. Since then, I've been fairly consistent running every other day (with the exception of a couple of weeks when I was sick). Today, I ran 4.5 miles NONSTOP!!!! It was an outdoor run, included several hills, including one monster hill…
