Success = Motivation
Nothing like a little success to make you feel motivated! I have been losing weight at a pretty steady clip for the last few months and I am finally down to a size where I feel lore like a "regular person" than a "fat person" (You know what I mean right?). For some reason I have never felt so motivated to keep at it. I…

Bad Knees??? Take heart!!!
My really bad knees were the biggest motivation to my starting MFP - before I started, I had to take the 4 steps up to my front door one at a time. I have asked on here before if anyone with severe osteoarthritis had noticed any improvement as they got fitter and lost weight. I'm here to tell you now that you do! YOU DO!!!…

I would've kissed the scale...
...if my feet hadn't been on there a second before! Finally, it's moving in the right direction! I'd been waiting months, alllll summer!, for it to move out of the 210's...I was praying just to see the number 209. I know not many people pray to see 209 on their scale, but I was! And I got on this morning, and the scale…

I CRIED
:cry: when I weighed myself this morning. I was down another pound. I couldn't believe it when the scale said 145.8! I don't remember the last time I weighed 145. I know there's a .8 there and officially that makes it 146 but I don't care. I saw that 145 and started crying. I was just so happy and overwhelmed to see it.…

ONE WEEK = SUCCESS! = HAPPINESS & ENCOURAGEMENT
OK so it's only been about a week since I started this. I got serious about working out, going 4x this week, serious about cutting out bad food. I'm still not on a strict diet but I cut out all the bad stuff and tried to incorporate more good stuff. Today before I worked out I decided to weigh myself even though I didn't…

I'm only half way to my goal, but I must be smaller than I've been for quite some time because I just went deep into my closet to find my skinny pants, and they all fit. Ok, a couple things are still just a bit snug, but not bad at all. I love, love, love MFP!!!

Yay! They fit!
I adore boots, but they've always been an enemy of mine because my ankles/calves never fit them. I had a pair that I really loved, and wore them even though I could only zip them halfway up (it was always hidden by jeans). But then when I gained more weight I had to stop wearing them altogether because I couldn't zip them…

I'm wearing "that" shirt today.
You know. The one that didn't fit right when you bought it. You wore it a few times just because you felt obligated to. Then put it back on the hangar to wear "someday" when you got smaller. Today is Someday. I'm wearing that shirt today. I like the way it fits. It's a little tight around the arms so my biceps and triceps…

The store I work for is doing a Wizard of Oz Theme for Halloween, I found the Tin Woman costume that was plus sized and went to try it on. The thing kept falling off me.

Okay this isn't so much a success as a proud moment
I haven't worn shorts in years, other than around the house. If I leave the house, I'm in slacks or jeans. I think I was probably 23 the last time I wore shorts. (I'm 28 now.) After highschool, I wasn't very active. I went from vollyball player and marching band to eating and watching tv! Since I've gotten back on track,…
