Before/During Photos.
Hello everyone! I finally got around to taking formal progress photos today and I wanted to share them with you! I don't see too much of a difference, but maybe you guys will! The first ones were taken in May of 2009 and the most recent today, and they are in the same shirt. And this one to show the bagginess of the shirt:…

5 weeks in and half way there!!
As of this morning I'm down 10 pounds since starting MFP and p90x 5 weeks ago. At this rate (-2 lbs a week) it's entirely within the realm of possibility that I'll reach my goal weight 5 weeks from now. Yay me!

Feel good moment
I'm a mother of two. Today I walked into a store by myself, while my mother in law watched the kids in the car. I passed a guy going through the first set of doors (he was exiting) and could see his reflection in the second set of doors. He turned and stared at me!!!:blushing: Talk about your feel good moment!!!

My first 10 are officially gone!
I started on February 15, one month ago. The reward is I have lost 10 pounds officially with MFP. I have a long way to go...but will be patient. I am just thrilled that after 4 weeks of eating healthy I have lost the weight! Just wanted to share!

I didn't have to do the fat pants
So about 4 weeks ago I bought some pants that were indeed to small. I had to wiggle, bounce and suck in to get in them. since I have lost a total of 9lbs I thought I'd try them on today. Boy o boy Was I shocked. I got those babies on without a wiggle bounce or a suck in, OH YEAH

Exercising is becoming FUN!
This morning I got up and exercised on the elliptical bike (my new favorite) and I actually had fun doing it! I used to only be motivated to exercise when I saw I had lost a pound or so, and now I don't care. Even if I don't lose any pounds during the week- I still want to go at it! I've recently started exercising with…
-
first 10lbs gone!
It's taken almost 2 months, with a few falls off the wagon, and several temptations (3 birthdays in those 2 months, including my 30th), but I have cracked the 10lb mark (actual 10.6 as of this morning). And that means, I'm only 2.9lbs from my first goal (5% - 13.5lbs). :bigsmile:
-
I'm at the halfway mark already!
As of this morning it's been two months since I've started my new lifestyle. I would have never imagined that I'd already be halfway to reaching my goal (I started at 270, want to get to 199). It's seems crazy, but it's not. Who would have thought that it doesn't take gimmicky diets, pills, supplements and shakes to lose…

Break from dairy?
I'm VERY far from being vegan, but I think I want to give this a try. I have a friend who lost like 30 pounds just by cutting dairy out, and I'm not going to lie- I'm curious. She said it made her feel a lot healthier, too. So I think I'm going to go the rest of the week without it (I had a string cheese and nonfat latte…

Five Pounds Down!!!!
I am so excited I lost my first five pounds this week. I have really been dedicated to my health. I joined the gym this month and I have made it my business to go no matter what. If I can't make it to the gym for some unforseen reason I have been using the workouts that I have at home on my cable television to do the…

I finally kicked it into gear! It's awesome because when I go to the gym I can actually eat more lol who would have thought!!! I'm pumped for the…

14's too big????
So I have been noticing that my size 14"s are starting to feel way too big. However, I am so nervous about going into a "normal" size clothing store to see if I might possibly fit into a smaller size:) But this kind of problem I think I can deal with. I can't believe I have come this far. I started out in a size 20:drinker:

Is this really me?
This is the first time I have ever posted to a "success" topic and these are really small but mean a lot to me. Three things that I find amazing. 1 - I am wearing clothes that I didn't fit into just two weeks ago, 2 - I actually look forward to getting home and getting out there to go running and 3 - someone told me today…

Dress Shopping
I went dress shopping the other day and I tried on this dress that was a size 10. I never thought I'd say this but it was too BIG and I didn't have enough boobs to fill it out. Actually, I am a little disappointed with the boob part, but glad the 10 was too big. :ohwell: I am going to do more dress shopping this afternoon,…

Really Proud
So my success story is not a weight loss success.. I'm battling a binge eating disorder... and I put myself in a uncomfortable situation and did well. I went to Red Lobster for dinner and after I wrote everything in my journal ... I only ate 265 over my calories for the day. I'm damn proud of myself right now... I don't…

Size 3
Well, The past two week I haven't been able to workout because I fell on my tailbone and then I was sick this past week. I actually lost a few pounds. I finally went shopping today for new work clothes I fit into a size 3. I was so proud. I went from a 7 to a 3. I have a 10 month old baby. I am so happy. I am looking…

Craziest Thing Ever...
Yesterday when I woke up the scale said 218.0 pounds. This was discouraging because it was my third consecutive weigh-in with no loss. I was also aggravated because I knew I wasn't going to be able to stick with my goals for the day. I had an insurance meeting at eleven, and my boss bought lunch. I had fried chicken…

So, I've only lost 12lbs, BUT i was looking at my some pictures and what a difference!!! Wanted to share... :glasses: FOUR DAYS before MFP..... TWENTY-ONE DAYS LATER! *sqeee!* ^-^ :drinker: -Megan

Success for me
Well, I consider this a success. This morning, I ran my first ever 5k race. My goal was to finish in under 30 minutes and I finished in 28:13. I feel that I owe a lot of it to MFP. It has made me so much more aware of the food that I'm putting in my mouth and how exercise really affects what you can eat.. Now on to…

Pants on the Ground lol
So I have lost 26 lbs!!! and FINALLY my clothes are just too big! I can take my pants off without unzipping or unbuttoning...and shirts...baggy and uncomfortable! And the complements have started coming in, without me talking about going to the gym, etc. I love this website, and all the support that people have to offer. I…

Made my doctor's day
I had to go visit my doctor today because my blood pressue has been low. I have hypertension and I've been on meds for it since I was in my early 20s. So the doctor comes in WITHOUT my chart and asks why I was coming in. I explain and he takes my BP, and very quickly says he has my medication too high. Without the chart,…

Serious
Today is a success for me because while I have fallen off the wagon, I am getting back on. For years I was blessed with a fast metabolism and I ate whatever I wanted. But, over the years of drinking and lack of exercise I totally messed my metabolic rate up. When I first came to MFP I lost 10 lbs! However...I slid right…
