YOU'VE LOST SOME WEIGHT!!
Yup, that is what I have been hearing lately. I ran into a friend of mine yesterday when I went to the PX to grab my kids Easter Baskets, and I happened to be coming from the gym, so I was still wearing my shorts and T-shirt (I didn't go home to change first since the PX is a block away from the gym) and she was stunned at…

Have Lost 20 Percent of My Goal
While my story isn't as dramatic as many I have read in this thread perhaps it might serve as motivation for others like me who are new to MFP. I started here two weeks ago and as of today have lost 6 Lbs. thus far. That may be a small success but one that really makes me happy and keeps me motivated to continue working…

My realization...
So, this may not be a big deal to a lot of people, but it's a HUGE win for me. Today, I went from 'obese' to 'overweight' in my BMI. I didn't really think about it before today, but that's a REALLY big deal to me. Sure, I was stoked about the weight, but I was more excited about the realization that I'm GENUINELY making…

A feel good moment
So I went to buy a new dress for Easter this week. My daughter saw a dress she thought I would look good in and told me I should try it on. Problem was they didn't have my size (or so I thought). They did have one size smaller so I took it to try on - and it was actually too big!!! I ended up getting the next size down (2…

Donut
So, my supervisor brings donuts every Thursday... Today I decided to eat my oatmeal about 30 minutes before his arrival so that I could forego the donut... this is a success for me as I am so used to grabbing one when they are in front of me and finishing it in about 3 bites... no kidding! I hope everyone has a great…

Feel Good Moment!
Good Morning All, I just wanted to share a moment that I just had. I was just walking to the office printer and I saw a few ladies chatting and wispering. I felt out of the loop a little bit but didn't say anything and kept walking by them...all of a sudden they called me over. It turns out they were talking about ME! They…

Just went shopping in my closet!
I just pulled out some spring/summer clothes that I kept from my slightly skinner days and they fit! I no longer look like I am going to bust out at the seams or straight up preggo. I have a more work to do before I fit into the few bits of my skinny pre-college clothes left in the house but I'll get there one day!

About 90 days in... pics
I started actively trying to do something about my weight, just after New Year's. My aunt sent me pictures from my holiday trip to see my family and I was horrified to see what I looked like. I had been hiding from the camera for months as I had been steadily gaining weight all year. So, here I am, almost 90 days in, and I…

new jeans
I've always wore "mommy"jeans from K-Mart. But today I went and bought 2 pairs of size 10 Levi jeans on sale at Macy's. I was afraid to try them on, but they fit and make me look really good. And they will motivate me to keep off the weight I have lost.:happy:

Baby Steps!
Stepped on the scale this morning and I've lost my first 10lbs! I've got a lot of weight to lose, and that can be incredibly daunting. It's going to take years to take all this off, but I'm trying to take it one step at a time, and maintain small goals. Still, I hit my first milestone! It may be a little one, but dangit,…

Success in pregnancy! - Progression pics! ;)
I hit my goal weight of 135 in January. In the same week, I found out I was pregnant! Yes, I was a bit thrown and panicked for a bit but at the same time I felt OK because I have been in control of this for awhile...and knew I had the knowledge to keep myself healthy and active for both my baby AND myself.

BAD BAD SCALE !
WOW ! I thought I was melting off the pounds. I went from 201 to 190 in no time at all. Then I went to the Doctors office with my wife and weighed myself. WOW... To my surprise I was 195 pounds. I told my wife the Doctors scale is WRONG. She laughed and said maybe my scale is wrong. I said NO WAY. So she weighed herself…

The inches say it all...
I am really happy with the pounds I've lost so far but I've been scared to actually look at the measuring tape. I took my measurements today and am astounded by the changes. I knew I'd gone down a pant size or two. I've lost a total of 17.25 inches overall. I'm measuring neck, breast, chest, waist, hips, upper thigh, calf…
