11 Months Later
So here I am 11 months after starting this journey with MFP and I just can't believe how far I've come. I began this journey in June at 235lbs. As of today, I'm at 136.2 : ) I have also lost 2.5" from my neck, 10" from my bust, 13.5" from my waist, and 14" from my hips. WOWZER! I also went shopping last night and…

My Old Jeans
Those lovely, outdated pairs of Levi's that have been hanging in the back of my closet have been on my mind lately. You see, I went on a cleaning binge and decided to get rid of all of the clothes that didn't fit, were out of date, or just weren't worth keeping anymore. You never know when Stacie and Clinton may show up!…

Finally included in the "HEALTHY" level THX, MFP!!!
Celebrating this morning!!! I just checked my BMI and I have finally reached the HEALTHY category! I can't believe I did it!!! Thanks to everyone here at MFP. I truthfully never believed I would ever see this day! For years I could see the pounds gradually adding on, but somehow I didn't believe that anything would ever…

My tastebuds have changed!
I don't recall this happening last year when I was trying to change my eating habbits so I thought I'd share a mini victory. My husband and I are allowing a cheat day twice a month. Our big cheat was getting these single pieces of chocolate cake with buttercream in the middle. I used to love that kind of stuff and could…

first milestone!
Today I did a 5k! oh yeaa uh huh uh huh uh huh Its the 2nd one ive done. The first time I was in really really bad shape and I was 13. It was 7th grade on a very flat path and I did it in 58:59. Might sound really slow but that was a lot for me with how unhealthy I was. I came home with bloody feet, extremely sore and…

Question for the moms!
Hey ladies! Since having my 2nd child I've had a HUGE belly that I can't seem to get rid of. It "hangs" down over my pelvis and I don't know if it will go away. It is SO embarrassing and the thing I want to change the most out of my entire body. I won't even let my husband see me naked anymore because it's so embarrassing!…

You've come a long way, baby!
I need to take a second to bask in the glory of my recent success! Let's start with some background....During my recent bout with depression I was put on medication that I was told "might increase my appetite". Understatement of the year! I was not just hungry but ravenous 24 hours after. I would eat until I felt like I…

My Face
I know I have lost a lot of weight, but sometimes i feel like it doesn't look like it. Well I took a picture of myself to send to my husband while he was offshore and I couldn't believe the difference in my face. I don't know how to post the pictures with my thread, but please look at my profile and let me know what you…

What is your success story?
I'm 38 years old and I found myself not as active as I used to be. Plus, I tore my achilles tendon several years ago. I always promised myself that I would some day run a race to prove how miraculous moder medicine is these days and that I can accomplish something. So I ran my first 5 miles in preparation for my 5 mile run…

Took sooo long! (Long post)
I don't understand what took me sooooo long for this to finally really click in my head! I have been on this site for 9 months and in that time could have very well been past my goal weight and fitness goal and would have been loving life along with loving my body once again. If I had started eating well and exercising…

Can't feel bad about this remark!
Well I am down a total of 25 pounds since I started on my journey to health at the beginning of the new year. The last time I weighed myself it was 199.5 which is a "onederful" thing in and of itself. I haven't been under 200 for a few years. Well, today after a meeting I was walking out of the conference room in front of…

My story
I do not wanna call this my success story, because I am not finished. However I would like to tell my story. I think my journey started around the time my sister passed away 14 years ago, I was really close to my sister we would always play outside together. I was around 8 at the time she passed away. I think I began to…

Mini Milestone
It is always nice to "celebrate" the entry into a lower weight class. Finally hit 189lbs today. I'm about 29 lbs from where I want to be, but the end is near! I hope everyone is doing well!

No longer a 'plus' size!
I had to get new clothes this week and found out I no longer am a 'plus' size! I got to shop in the 'regular' ladies section and buy three pairs of size 16 pants. The last time I wore this size it was three babies ago. I ave lost 41 lbs since January 1st... if I can do it, you can too!

fit into my size 14 (US 12) jeans today!
I am very pleased with myself, am able to fit comfortably in my 'old' jeans and don't look like a stuffed sausage. Just wanted to share my little success :-)

Softball?????
Softball practice tonight, first time in 18 years, I'll let you know in the morning how bad it hurts

I'm "normal"!!
...relatively speaking, of course! I just weighed in today and officially made it into the "normal" category on the BMI calculator (made it by .4pounds)!! It feels great to finally be "normal" again...now time to get further into that normal category!

I'm overweight.
Somehow I missed this.. but I am officially considered overweight by BMI now. Hell yeah! :laugh:

Under 200 -- Yowza!
For the past few weeks I've been flirting with the 200 mark. A few times I've been 199.8 or close, but today I was a solid 199! It feels like I've officially made it past the 2's on the scale. Now on to the mid- 100's....

Over Halfway there!
I don't know what my "healthy' weight is. The charts say about 125 lbs (I'm 5'3"). The only time I was ever there was when I didn't eat solid food for six months, so I totally disagree that that is in any way "healhy." In highschool I was 155. When I went vegan, I was around 145. When I was a raw foodist, I was 135. All of…

Down 5lbs in 2 weeks!
Woo hoo, since starting this two weeks ago, I've lost 5lbs! I'm surprised b/c I thought it'd be more like 1lb a week, especially since I'm not extremely overweight. Now I have 15lbs left to lose for a healthy bmi, and 25lbs for my final goal. Feels good! I've watched my calories closely and kept them under 1230 most week…

I did it!
I'm going on maintenance as of today. The 30 pounds I gained when my mom got cancer is officially gone. I have been doing Couch 2 5 K for the last 4 1/2 weeks. Last night I was able to run 2 miles in 16 minutes. I have strength and energy that I haven't had since I was in high school. I've gone from a tight size 10 to a…

I'm happy!
wow! I had to see my doctor today (kinda sick for the past week or so) and when I got weighed I almost flipped! I lost 10 lbs since I last weighed myself! I don't have a scale at my house. I use my daughters when I go see her. This was quite a surprise! A happy surprise!
