How has your body changed?
I may have only lost 6 or 7 pounds since joining, but with working out and watching everything that has gone in my mouth, I can already see a change in my body. Especially in my back, oddly enough, as well as the "upper" part of my stomach. It sounds weird but after a meal it would protrue and look very funny. But now it…

51lb down.
This morning, I crossed the 50lb mark (and then some). That's 51 pounds in 82 days. To celebrate, I went down to the gym and signed up for a six month contract. Then I hit the treadmill ... did 2.5 miles in 42 minutes at roughly 3.5 mph. After that I swam half a mile (16 laps) at the pool (front crawl). I did a little…

Wish my weight loss would speed up
Let me start by saying Iam very proud of my 19lb weight loss. I was just a little disapointed that i didn't hit the 20 mark. I was doing about 2-3 lbs a week now I am about 1.5-2.5 lbs a week. I have changed my workout and am trying very hard to meet my calorie goals. Sometimes it is just to many calories to have to meet.…

Weirdly funny success!
To start this post let me tell you I am a nurse and wear scrubs to work. I've already gone down 3 sizes in scrubs. Not hard to do since they are pretty much colorful pajamas. (One of the reason's I love being a nurse I wear pj's and sneakers to work) So yester I was wearing one of my smaller sets but it's already hanging…

Progress Sorta : /
So I found this old photo from last summer beach trip to daytona and man did I look unhappy and fat! :cry: So I took a pic of me today and well I have lost weight since last summer. How much is anyone's guess cuz I wasn't keeping track. When I joined MFP back in Jan. I weighed in at 220 and I'm not certain how much I weigh…

Finally!!!
After doing P90X for 36 days I finally started losing the 7 pounds of water/muscle weight I put on! I started at 143, went up to 153 during the first few weeks. I ended up losing a few pounds of that weight quickly then got stuck at 150/151 forever! This morning when I stepped on the scale it said 149.6! I know it's not…

My first weigh in!
I lost 5 lbs in my first week. Yay!! This is probably to be expected since I just started keeping track of every single thing I'm eating. My first week did NOT include any exercise, so that's pretty cool, right?!? Even though it's small, it's a start and it helps me to want to stay motivated. I just hope I can STAY…

Hi, I'm new to this site, but have been changing my lifestyle for 58 days and counting. So far I've lost 19 lbs.

I am finally overweight!!
Today's weigh-in proved it... I am overweight. And I couldn't be happier!!!!!! I hit the 26 lb. loss mark today and finally dipped below the "obese" mark on the BMI calculator. I'm so excited and am loving the way my clothes fit now and the new things I have been able to buy. Next stop... "HEALTHY"!!!!:drinker:

My personal success
Hi all!! Been at it for 7 weeks! I am currenlty 21 pounds lighter than when I started! I went from eating fast food and crap every meal to being a complete vegan. I use to wake at 610 620 and rush to make it work on time everyday. Now I wake at 415 and work out to Tony Horton's Power 90 program. I still go to bed at the…

so proud of myelf!
Last summer i tried to do the couch to 5k program and I didn't get past day 1 of week 1. I tried it once and quit. Last week I did all of week 1 and so far I have done week two twice this week and I have every intention of doing it 2 more times this week. It is a little success but when I do it I feel awesome after wards…

Resisting tempation.
I am proud because I went to a meeting today. There were several booths set up I had to visit and check off of. Each and everyone of them had a bowl of candy on it. And I didn't take a single piece. And at work last weekend every single night they ordered pizza and had cakes and cookies. Not a single bite. And it wasn't…

BIG MOMENT!
I remember a few days after Christmas this year, I cried and cried after I attempted to fit into my pre-pregnancy jeans and couldn't even fit them over my thighs. For the past half hour, I have tried EVERY skirt, shorts, jeans, capris on that I own..and they either fit PERFECTLY or are LOOSE on my thighs and waist! Which…

My first goal...
...was to reach 1stone (14lbs) which I smashed today, losing 3lbs this week - that's 2.5lbs more than I needed to :drinker: My aim this time around has been to lose a steady 1lb a week - which given the past 7 weeks of consciously keeping a watch on what I eat along with regular exercise has definitely worked for me. A BIG…

My tiny litle success

Still going strong, but don't do it my way
Here's where I was in May 2009: weight over 430, high blood pressure, blood sugar between 150 and 200, a 64-66" waist, the beginnings of congestive heart failure. Here's where I am today: more than 100 lbs. lighter, normal BP, normal - or even below normal - blood sugar, a 54" waist, and perfect breathing. A doctor who was…

Plateau Busted!
Hello! I've been moaning on here for about 4 months about my plateau and I finally got over it. I actually blew past it to be honest. Since I know it's hard to figure out what to do, I will share what I did. Nutrition: I tried to not eat sugar (huge sweet tooth here) and make sure I stayed anywhere from 1500-1800 calories…

I was shocked
So today was the day. The first weigh in and measurement day since I started with my personal trainer. I was kind of scared to see the results. I started to weigh myself yesterday and saw the scale go in the wrong direction but I told myself that it was just residule from TOM. I was correct. I didn't loose anything from…

How much weight have you lost so far? How did you do it?
Lets see. I was 195 when I first joined this website. So far, I have lost a total of 9 pounds. Im starting to just drink water. My eating really is better. I dont go for really fattening foods, I also dont go for just fat free foods either. I balance it out with like salmon fillets, turkey cutlets from Walmart, brown rice,…

A picture can't be wrong...
Ok so I've been complaining like mad lately about how much I've sucked since pretty much the end of summer. The scale has bounced between 173 & 167 for months and months and months - today I'm 170, tomorrow I could be 169 or 171, who knows. But anyway, so I was looking back at photos from the summer & came across one that…
