Breakthrough!
I work in a large corporate office. At least once a week, one of our divisions will get lazy and order a dozen pizzas for lunch. Good, New York City pizza. They always drop the leftovers in the kitchen, right next to my office. This afternoon, I was eating my salmon, green beans and rice when one of my coworkers dropped…

"Almost" Overweight
HAHAHAHA!! I am .9 away from being overweight! Should I be so excited? Overweight sounds so much better than that other word-OBESE. You know, i'd rather have somebody call me fat all day, obese makes me feel horrible about myself. But so does carrying around all this extra weight. Every time the doctor frowns and says,…

Lost the Challenge but WON!
Hi All - I just wanted to "toot" my own horn - My family started their own Weight Loss Challenge 6 weeks ago - which is how I found MFP (THANK YOU Amy!). It was over this past week - I came in 3rd out of 7 :( However, I LOST 18 pounds so I figure I won either way!!!!!!!!! Plus I have the motivation to keep going! We all…

Twoderville = scarey!!!
Ok, so I think I am officially in Twoderville, but I'm so not ready to declare victory yet - is that crazy??? The scale said 298.8 this morning - the second time I have see it below 300 this month - but I get so bummed when it wavers up and down, that I just can't bring myself to own that 299 number. That was my official…

not complaining at all...
...my just washed/ouf the dryer "skinny jeans" are just a tad too big.... :bigsmile:

Gotta buy smaller jeans...
My jeans are too big. When I tighten my belt now (in all its "use that extra notch" glory), my jeans are loose enough that they actually unbutton themselves. How cool is that? Even though my scale hasn't budged in over a week (well, it finally showed a pound drop this morning), I think my extra workouts are converting fat…

15 lbs my first month!
I learned A LOT this month. I have done this before, about a year ago but didn't stick with it for very long at a time. I started again on January 1st, 2010. My first week I didn't workout at all, just watched what I was eating. I was shocked by my sodium intake, that took a few weeks to get down to the max. I was eating…

My husband is not so happy....
...although personally I am thrilled that I've lost 2.5 inches from my waist, 1.5 inch from my hips and 1.5 inch from my bust in the 6 weeks I've been using MFP! However my DH looked at me tonight, staring at my chest, and said " They are smaller - I don't like it!" He claims he's getting less than he was promised on our…

RUNNING OUTSIDE success.
I am a big cross trainer type of person. I like to do all different types of cardio exercises. I'm a big hiker and getting ready for the spring season here in Virginia. Well the trails are covered and I missed the mountain so I went to an area around my house, rural, and decided I will run to see if i can catch the…

Not what I would recommend, but it worked!!!
After my workout last Sunday, I ate a sensible lunch. About mid way through my Subway footlong veggie sub, I started to feel kind of funny. A few hours later I was in the full throws of what I now think was a good case of food poisoning (not from Subway, but from the night before). The next day and a half was spent…

I wonder where the extra willpower came from : )
So I started the day believing I was going to the gym, and ended up surprising my kids and taking them out for the day. We did some walking around the outlet malls and really didn't have any kind of solid plan, so instead of eating really late we decided it would be easier to eat out. For me, it's usually the wrong answer.…

Photos that motivated me to kick my own *kitten*!I
I added pics to my profile. The ones on the bottom row of me in a blue jumper shocked me. I also saw pics of me at a friend's wedding in early January and those were so shocking I deleted them from my friend's phone ! The other photos are of me at various weights but my main motivation is the one in the black dress and…

I made it pass the 10 lb. mark and it feels good.....
I started my journey on Jan. 19, 2010- SW- 285 and it is now Feb. 19, 2010- CW- 274. Just wanted say it out loud and to let others know that it may seem as if you are not losing weight or it is happening to slow. Just remember that we did not put it on overnight & it is not going to disappear overnight. Hang in there and…

My booty is almost swim suit ready!
I hate the whole bragging concept but I feel like there's no one to tell this to better than members on MFP. Although this past weekend was hell (visiting family and being FORCED to eat at a buffet) in which I gained about 2 lbs back, I worked out so much this week that I finally looked at my backside in underwear and…

So excited...
Ok - a couple of years ago, someone gave me a pair of really cute jeans that I have never been able to wear. They are my size (in number only) but have narrow thighs and they just never fit. They were tight with a capital "T" and forget about wearing them to work. Today is casual day at work (every Friday) and I didn't…

Since my son was born 9.5 months ago, I've lost 57 pounds!! My goal is to lose 28 more pounds before his 1st Birthday. This site has really…

Last night I had a dream...
Last night I had a dream that I binged on McDonald's. I woke up and I was really mad at myself, but then I realized it was all a dream. I consider this a success story because it didn't really happen. I also think it's really fat that I dream about binging on McDonald's...

So I actully handed nana the camera and ASKED for her to take a picture of us. I could not believe those words had come out of my mouth. I was…
