Threw Away My Temptations
I felt tempted to have some Dove chocolate that I had stashed in the freezer the other night, but instead, I went and grabbed it and threw it in the trash. Then, I took out the cheesecake and all the other fattening desserts and threw them away. There's no more ice cream left in my freezer either. It feels good to have…

Almost half way there!!
Hi all, not sure that this is noteworthy to anyone but me, but I broke the 10 lb mark last night on the way to 22 lbs. This week I signed up for my first 5k race to be held on 3/13. My goal is to do a 15k at the end of October. I'll be 50 by then and I feel and look better than I have in years - forever for that matter. I…

I Couldn't believe it !!!!!!!!!!!

I cheated and checked it just now .. it was tempting just because I haven't exercised at all this week not even for 5 minutes... and I didn't drink any water.. all due to me being very sick and just didnt have the motivation to do anything other than eat healthy... and I just couldnt…

Finally got to wear it...
A year ago I bought a Chinese style blouse, burgundy with silver pattern. I wanted to wear it for Chinese New Year but it was a bit tight - well, ok, it GAPED so I put it in the closet and forgot about it. Today I was looking for something to wear and tried it on - it's totally loose! I got so many compliments at work it…

It's been only 14 days, but....
I love what I am doing and how I feel, It has been 14 days since I started and I think i'm doing great, even today I took my kids to the movies and popped our own 100 calorie bags of pocorn for each of us, but we were over an hour early so we stopped at burger king I had a side salad/ no dressing and 4 chicken nuggets and…

I've been the fat girl all my life and for the first time I have real determination not to be! Reaching my goal is just the kind of motivation I needed! Hoping everyone else the same success! And I'm so glad a…

Success, small but it is success!
Ok so i've been on here for about a month now and i've lost 10lb so far (I havent weighed myself this week yet though) and i havent noticed any changes, i mean apart from the scales having lower numbers as well as the tape measure i physically cannot see any difference. I went home last week and my mum said straight away…

Oh, I'm in a medium shirt too. Yeah!!! Here are some pictures... 245 pounds (or more) 158 pounds (Just for fun...my muscle pictures. Bear in mind that…

I'm an 18
I've gone from a tight 26 (with stretch) to a tight 18. I'm super excited. It was weird to have on jeans that weren't baggy. It enhanced my vision of how much I've lost.

FEELING AWESOME!!!
I have been trying for 4 years to get on the weight lose band wagon. I would try and try and never seem to get anywhere. I have been busting my butt since the beginning of January and I am down 14 pounds! Saturdays are my weigh in days and normally I get really nervous as I don't know how well I am going to do. Yesterday I…

Hit the 130s this week.
I felt so good to stay in the 130s nearly all week. I haven't seen much of them in the last 8 years. I would still like to lose another 6-10 pounds but I feel like I'm really in my "healthy weight" range right now. I just want to lose a little more in my thighs and tone up.
-
I need a moment to feel good!
Time for me to brag for a second! I finally left the 190's in weight. I beat it by .4lbs! I'm so excited about this, because I have lost 3.4lbs this week. I've been doing MFP since January and at first I lost 4lbs, and then gained it all back, and then last week I went on vacation, so I started fresh last Sunday. What I…

just went to buy new jeans today. my 22's were falling off me. i could not believe it when i could squeeze into an 18! when i held them up i thought there is just no way i am going to be able to fit into those jeans. I DID!! I have been battling the scale for the last several weeks but the inches are still coming off. i am…

I did a 10k
I did one of the couch to 10k runs and for the first time walked/ran 10k. Took 70 mins and did it on a treadmill but am so pleased! It Burned 525 calories and was quite rough in places but feel so great now. Thinking about entering a 10k fun run in the summer:)

Reached my first goal of 10 lbs!
:happy: For too long I made every excuse of why I was gaining weight. I was sure there was something wrong with me, that my metabolism had just turned off or something. After my visit with my doctor, all the results came back normal and it was time for the heart to heart. When I took a real look at what I was doing, it was…

HUGE HURDLE....
I feel like Wonder~Woman!!!!!! I run, I like to run outside, I have three kids that I cannot take with me when I run. Therefore weekends and vacations I don't accomplish very much exercise. HOWEVER, I DO have a dusty treadmill in the basement that I had made too many excuses not to use. TODAY WAS THE DAY!!!!!!!! I actually…

The Good News and the Bad News
The Bad News: I stepped on the scale this morning and was 2 1/2 lbs heavier than yesterday morning! No rhyme or reason to it - perhaps my muscles were retaining H2O from the intense boot camp class I took last night??? Tthe Good News: I measured myself and lost 1 1/2 inches from my waist since I last measured 1 1/2 weeks…

From 22 to 18!
I am so happy! Although the scale shows I have only lost 37 lbs in the past 5 months, I must be losing significantly more in inches! I have shrunk from a size 22 to 18! I am sooo happy! Looks like this Valentine's is gonna be extra special (and hot!) LOL

Small steps ...
Do add up!! I've been at my highest almost 195 (2002) and got down at some point to 130 (too quickly for my own good). It isn't until now that I'm really learning what its all about, balance and being happy with the person I am. I'm a big believer that if it's not a physical ailment, many times we become overweight because…

Ran for 17min straight!
I just ran for 17min straight on the treadmill, I haven't done that since high school (which was a while ago, and I was actually in shape then and ran track!) it is such a feeling of accomplishment! Yay me!! LOL

I had some problems and had to get a colonoscopy done and with that being said I had to clean out my system I also was only allowed clear liquids the…

My Mom is AWESOME.
I just wanted to say, publicly, how proud I am of my mother. After watching me on this journey, and seeing my results I convinced her to work with me - and she started on MFP with me. She is eating healthy every day and even though she bummed her knee out right at the beginning is doing what she can to get whatever…

Cholesterol down 48 points!
Just before I began MFP I had blood work done. Cholesterol was 202, LDL was 129. Not bad, but not great for a 33 year old. I had my work physical last week and the results are in! Current Cholesterol is 154 and LDL is 96. It is very validating to know I am getting healthy on the outside AND inside! :happy:
