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…

5 lbs lost!
Okay, maybe not that impressive. But I haven't lost weight since I had my baby (OVER A YEAR AGO!). This was the first week that I stuck to my diet every day, and exercised every day. I stepped on the scale not expecting to see much change. I figured it would take at least 2-3 weeks to see it budge. Go…

WOOT WOOT!!!
I've had my stationary bike for 5 weeks now.... when I first got it, I struggled to pedal a mile on the darned thing, but I'm a bit Irish, (accounts for the fact that I'm STUBBORN) so I've kept it up. My limit has been 8 miles for about a week and a half now, just couldn't seem to break that imaginary limit..... my max was…

Goal
Today for the first time I have reached my goal weight, 115 lbs flat!! Really excited about it :) As my weight bounces a bit I think I might stay with 1200 calories till my weight is 112lbs, then maintain so I always know that I really am my goal weight even if I have a bad salt day and retain water one week. If that makes…

I took my first step of this journey on 12/14/09
And in three months time, I have lost 20#. I have many more to go, but I'm so, so happy with my success. I work out 4-5 times a week. I try to make the best possible food choices. There have been cookies, and wine, and meals out but I think if you don't learn a way to get around those obstacles and wake up every morning…

This whole healthy thing actually works!
So I started MFP a little over a month ago and at first was seeing no results. I was fluctuating between the same 2-3 pounds for like 3 weeks. Everyone kept telling me I was gaining muscles and blah blah blah, you know the usual. And then BAM! I started losing! I am now down a little over 9 lbs. and I am about to reach my…

Walking!!!!
I have went and walked at the park everyday this week! It takes a little over 3 laps to make a mile and I've done 4 everyday except for today. Today I walked 7!!!! Woohoo! 2 Miles! now I know that 2 miles walking might seem like chicken feed to most of you but to me it might as well be the 500 yard dash.. A year ago I…

Exciting but weird!
I am totally excited because I am just 3 lbs shy of my halfway mark and I am back to my weight in high school! Its weird though, at this weight in high school (I was working out then and playing sports though I wasn't very muscular) I was a size 13, but now I am just focusing on loosing weight - I don't exercise very…

A couple of small victories
My husband came up and smacked my bum and told me I was really looking good :) I have been working out lots but have not lost much weight yet so this was something amazing to me that he noticed :) Today I noticed that my underwear stay up on their own. The used to roll down and stay under my belly. Now they stay up!!!!!

One pounder loss
Wow....cannot believe this.....uping calories to 1400...and eating my exercise cals WORKS.. CAN YOU TOTALLY image how great that 1 pound feels.... I have struggled since August with no loss. Thinking that reducing cals under 1200 would work. Just because all my life I have been "on a diet" Even if this is only 1 lb. a week…

Dear MFP...I'M NOT FAT ANYMORE!!!
I have been under the impression for quite some time that my "goal weight" was 140 pounds based on BMI. (I'm 5'3" and the "healthy" range for my height is 104-140). So as to not be "overweight" anymore, my actual mental goal was 135lbs so that I wasn't right on the edge of overweight. All the time, people would say to me…

Someone noticed I have lost weight today!
I have been dieting for a month now, along with my Husband. The Dr told him to diet and I am joining him because I need to as well. He has lost over a stone, umm that is 14lb and I had lost 7lb and stuck there, but since joining MFP I have lost 3 more lbs and now at 10lb lost, well I was only saying to him last night that…

Fit into all of my skinny clothes.
My clothes were getting way big on me and I was starting to feel kind of self-conscious about it. I was worried I'd be standing in front of a class teaching and my drawers would fall down. So, I went into my closet yesterday and pulled out my old skinny clothes (most are a size 8) just out of curiosity. Every pair of pants…
