I cried in the fitting room today...
...because almost everything fit! I put on this one top, and when I looked at myself, I thought "Holy crap! That's ME?" :laugh: Then, I spotted a cool pair of Tommy Hilfiger jeans, size 14. I'd never really been able to wear "normal" (not in the plus size department) fancier name brand jeans (knowing that their sizes…

Weigh In Day!!!
I weighed in today and I lost 3 pounds. I have been losing around 1 pound a week, but I honestly thought I had gained weight this week. I have been so hungry for the last week. I've been eating more (just can't help myself), so I was afraid to step on the scale. I couldn't believe it when I had actually lost THREE pounds.…

eating more really does help!!!
ok, so for the last two months I have been at war with myself: mon-thurs i'd eat like 800-1000 cals a day, exercise everyday, and then on fri night be so hungry and exhausted i'd binge until monday, when i'd start the cycle again. Needless to say i haven't made much progress. So two weeks ago I decided to throw this…

Goal Jeans
When I started losing weight last spring I found my old favorite pair of jeans in the back of my closet. I tried to put them on but I couldn't even get one leg in them. I fantasized about being able to put them on again, made it my goal, and draped then over a chair in my bedroom where I would see them all the time. I have…

Eye Opener!!
On the weekend I was going through my closet looking for something and I happened to find my corset that I wore on my wedding day 4 years ago. On my wedding day, I actually had to by a spacer to attach to the clasps to get it done up. Curiosity got the better of me when I found it and I tried it on and was able to get it…

And guess what I'm still losing. What changed my life is that I joined a local gym. Then I did there Biggest loser challenge and it just started to come off.

YESTERDAY WAS MY 8th day on MFP and.........................
I lost 7 pounds in 8 days!! Only 40 pounds to go now til my desired weight, or 28 til my healthy BMI, but I have been following MFP to a tee, and I also joined the gym last week and have been doing 30 min. cardio and 30 min. strength training.. Hard work pays off I guess???? :)
-
I ran 2 whole miles!
All at once! Without walking at all! It wasn't real fast (23 minutes and some seconds) but I am still stoked that I made it without wimping out. I have literally never been able to do that before in my whole life. It was surprisingly not that bad. I should have attempted it sooner.

First, at my recent eye doctor visit the doctor said my eyes were in the best condition he had seen since I have been his patient. Who'da thunk it? Next, since Arewethereyet has been showing off her "guns" in her ticker, I decided…

10% down!!
I know when I did WW several years ago, you were supposed to set "mini-goals" of 10%. I reached that today. Yay!! My BMI has dropped also from 43.3 to 39.1 (4.2 points). It gives me motivation to keep working hard when I can see results on the scale. When I look at myself in the mirror, I can't see results but a few women…
