I JUST realized...
...I FINALLY weigh what my driver's license says I do! As a matter of fact, I'm a pound less that that! I must have shaved off 60 lbs when I lied and wrote in my weight. :laugh: :laugh: But I'm not a liar anymore!! :drinker: :bigsmile:

I lost 20 pounds and over 20 inches!! And it feels SO GOOD to be healthy, I can't even tell you. I had gotten into a habit of laying around on the couch…

before and during and during
This was my heaviest atleast 290. I started trying to loose weight the next day and did my official weigh in on 1/6/09 at 288. These two pics were at about 265 in Nov/Dec 09 after having taken about 5 months break from "lifestyle change" due to changing a job and death of my grandfather. They are also what got me going…

I feel so good!
I feel very GOOD today! Yesterday I pretty much died with the lack of caffeine and sugar, and I wanted them both soooo bad. But today my body’s over it – I feel awake and craving healthy foods. Last night was friggin hard! There were cookies on the counter and I wanted them! But I’m glad I didn’t. I feel free! Anybody else…

Ok...I'm now officially impressed with the site- Ques What d
I originally started doing MFP because my wife was doing it and I needed some more fodder for my blog but now I'm impressed. It's only been 2 weeks and i'm down 7 lbs. I love: RED and GREEN indicators to let me know where I am for the day A pre-populated database that has most of the foods I already eat Great user…

old pants
I tried on a pair of old jeans that I've not worn for probably 4 or 5 years. They weren't the prettiest things (I was sporting some stuffed sausage), but I was able to button and zip them and that's better than it has been.

UNDER 190!!
Yess!! I got on the scale the last few days and I'm under 190!! 187.8 to be precise! I have been losing since the beginning of Feb. and it has not come off two pounds a week like the settings I chose but if you average it out over the last 10 weeks or so it does work out to be right around 2 pounds per week! What do you…

WooHoo!!! I've lost 30 pounds!!!!!
I just had to share my exciting news! I did my official weigh-in this morning, and I now weigh 166 lbs, for a total loss of 30 pounds!! I began this journey at the first of January and am totally fired up about my progress. I credit it all to MFP. This is an awesome tool for showing you what you are eating currently, and…

Woo!
OK so I've been stuck at this stupid plateau for 4 weeks. It's been driving me crazy and I've been super bummed out about it, so the end of last week I entirely switched around my exercise routine, threw in a bunch of weights and made sure to track my food. (something I haven't been doing. Bad!!) Stepped on the scale this…
-
Finally out of the dreaded plateau & new record...
Wow 5 weeks of no movement in weight and it's finally dropping! It started at Easter. I was actually eating MORE than normal because of being home for family dinners and that somehow kicked in the weight loss. A lot has to be said for tricking your body by not eating the same amount of calories each day (every now and then…

Yesterday at work the big wigs came through I haven't seen them in about 6 months and they didn't even recognize me, Laurie big wig #2 was commenting on my work when my supervisor says "you know how she is" ( refering to me) then Laurie takes a closer look and comes up to me "OMG! your so thin and your face is so thin I…

THE 12
When I played soccer in college and when I was a wildland firefighter we had to run what we called THE 12--Dunh dunh dunh! Technically it's called the Cooper's test and it's a way to test (and push) an athlete's physical fitness. Basically, you have to run 1.5 miles in 12 minutes or less (if you're a girl, guys have only…

NON-weight related successes
We all want to lose weight and get frusterated when the scale doesn't say what we want it to (I am by no means excluded from this)......but we all need to focus on the other successful measurements that we have acheived that are non-weight related. 2 months ago my resting heart rate was 86 and now it is 76! 2 months ago I…

The good with the bad
THE BAD So I have been training for my first 1/2 marathon since January. I was steadily losing weight and very happy about this. I have lost 50lbs in the past and these last 20lbs have been haunting me. In the beginning of march I quit losing weight and started to gain. To date, I have gained 6lbs, which made me quite…

Went on a great hike in Oregon today!!
I had such a great day today. I went on a hike in the Oregon gorge. It was so beautiful!! I didn't use to like hiking, because I would get winded, and too hot. I felt like life was just passing me by. Well now that I have lost 40 pounds, I have been enjoying life! It feels great to be able to hike uphill for 2 hours, and…

Sub 300!
For days now, I've been teetering on the brink, but this morning I finally broke through the 300 pound barrier. That's roughly 66 pounds in 106 days, for an average of 0.62 pounds per day! Of course, as they say, it's a marathon, not a sprint, but I'm hoping I can maintain this pace for awhile longer. It's all about…

So, holy crap, it fits
3.5 years ago I found the most amazing skirt in a thrift store. It's a size 14, which was 2 sizes too small for me then (and 4 sizes too small for me when I found MFP last September). I thought "Some day, maybe I'll finally lose enough weight to wear it." I promptly packed it away in a box for "some day" & proceeded to…

Wow you are skinny
Today, I heard, "Wow, you are really skinny". She had a look of amazement on her face. While I am not skinny by all means, compared to being 55lbs heavier, I suppose I am!

I'm going to hit 205 lean by the end of the week, and 286 total...28%. No matter who you are or how you feel....IT CAN BE DONE. Efforts…

Small success!
Well today was 10 days in the gym for me and the first time I have been able to jog in forever. I shaved 1 minute and 23 seconds off my mile!!! Tomorrow I'm shooting for 2 minutes. I was so excited I had to share! Not that it is quick by any means but 18 minute mile here I come!
