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…

I went further than I thought I could!!
Usually when I'm on the Stair Master, my legs get tired and I quit at about mile 3 which is usually 30 minutes... but yesterday I decided I want to kick up my work outs to 45 minutes and try to burn closer to 400 calories instead of 300 since I haven't been losing much. So last night, I did my arm work out and then jumped…

I am Seeing Results - YAY!!
So for all of you who want to give up - myself included somedays - I just want to let you know that hard work does indeed pay off. I was cleaning out my closet this weekend and found a pair of size 14 jeans that I bought probably 4 yrs ago and I was like what the heck I'll try them on - I've been wearing a 16 but they are…

Hey, I'm hot....
Today we videotaped ourselves for my theatre class doing a monolouge. And usually wehn I watch myself on camera, I hate it. I feel awkard and it sucks. But today, I looked at myself and I was like "Woah! I look good!" and it was great! I looked so slim and trim and not flabby or anything!! I'm so happy!!!

Just got selected in the top running division
My university organises an event called Inward Bound. Its an orienteering race where you're blindfolded, driven around for about 3 hours, then dropped off and told where the finish line is, and how far away you are (within a 10km / 6m band) but you're not told which direction you've been taken. The first thing to do…

I need help buying new pants!
Ok, so I'm a 27 year old guy, and I'm feeling a bit out of touch with today's modern styles sometimes. I'll be honest, I grew up with my mom buying all my clothes, and have never been really good at shopping for myself. I'm about to go buy my first pair of 30" waist jeans, and I want to get a couple pairs that look really…

Billabong Pants, I LOVE YOU!
May be hitting the slopes next week. Been looking around for snowboarding clothes since I haven't be in awhile. Didn't want to buy all new stuff (too much $). Found an old jacket, my snowboarding boots and board, gloves, hat, goggles . . . dang, no snow pants. Guess what?!?!? Went to my parents today and found a pair of my…

Hello 190's!
I have to apoligize for how rude I was to you the last time I saw you on my way up. I hated you. After hanging out in twoterville for the last couple of years, I must say how nice it is to see you again!

Goodbye 10lbs #1
Goodbye 10 lbs #1, you will not be missed. For you are the reason I have 5 different sized of jeans in my closet; goodbye to 3 of those sizes. Goodbye 10 lbs #1 for nothing tastes as good as not seeing you on my stomach, *kitten*, thighs, arms, and face. Goodbye 10 lbs #1, you put up a good fight for the inches fell off…
