ANNOYING! But great!
Alright, so, the last week or so I've been walking around, and my jeans won't stay on me. It's been annoying. Not even my belt is helping. Apparently I've lost enough weight that my damn jeans won't stay up! I keep on having to pull them up ever few steps and it's annoying me like crazy. Haha. So it's great that I've lost…

i can't believe it
I am finally under 200lbs. Never would have thought I could have done this. Picking foods that are good for you and watch your portions did wonders.

If you're ever feeling blue...
about your weight loss, try on something that fit you like a year ago. I tried on the maid of honor dress that I wore last fall. I had already lost 20 pounds when I wore it, and I have since lost another 25. I couldn't believe how big it was. It was a two piece skirt and top, I could put both pieces on without unzipping…

I feel so powerful this morning...
Yesterday I knew we were going to Pizza Ranch last night so I saved back a bunch of calories for dinner, didn't eat a whole lot of carbs throughout the day and then went and ran/walked 3 laps around the lake which is 0.6 miles/lap. So that gave me 321 calories minus the 50 calories that I usually burn in 30 minutes just by…

For all the BRIDES out there!
Hey everyone. I hope you're all doing well on your weight loss journeys. I rarely ever post anything on here but I thought it might be worth it to share my 'bulging bride' story and photos. Basically, when I joined MFP I was 176 pounds and prior to that had lost about 10. When I was trying on wedding dresses I just didn't…

Almost there with some pics
I have been a member here for a while, but I don't think I have ever posted. I got out of shape in a bad way. I started back upon the birth of my youngest son who was born on Valentine's Day in 2008. I started just doing cardio, but realized that wasn't the complete answer. I worked out previously, but hadn't touched a…

A new lifestyle indeed!!
I just had a realization. I have been doing this and keeping it up for TWO years now. I started my journey on September 6, 2007 at 270 lbs. I got through the holidays of that year unscathed and kept it up. I also got through the holidays of last year and kept it up. Add to that Super Bowl Sundays, girls nights out,…

Leather Tool Time!
While the weight loss has slowed considerably. (1lb a week as opposed to 3) The last hole I punched in my belt is getting too loose. So it's time for two more. I'll aim for Christmas to punch more holes in my belt, but at that point I should probably break down and get another one. (I do care about my proffessional…

McDonalds

Inches lost
Well I've been disappointed because I've been sitting at the same weight for a long time. But I do feel tighter, so I finally took my measurements and found I've lost 2 inches around my waist and 2 around my butt. I's not exactly a new clothes size yet, but the fat around my waist worries me so I'm glad to see some of it…

50 pounds in 4 months of training.
I am so glad that we have a website like myfitness to help motivate us to do the right thing. My general outlook and self image had changed incredibly since the pounds came off. I know it is hard to lose weight without support and good coaching. I would just like to tell everyone that no matter what do not get discouraged…
