It all started with a comment from my 8 year old son...
"look at that big lovely belly!!!" My son said this to me on July 12. On July 13th, I revisited this site, and was determined to lose my belly. I started out at 265 lbs. Today less than 2 months later I weigh 244 lbs. My belly is still there, but less so. I ran three miles for the first time in probably 15 years. If I were…

I'm looking forward to putting on my school trousers on Tuesday since when I…

Lost 5 Pounds
My start weight that I logged on this site is when I started trying to lose weight because I've been competing in a "Biggest Loser" weight loss competition at work. My start weight was 225 there but it differs 5 pounds from my scale at home so I entered 220 pounds so I can monitor my weight loss during that time as well.…

Size 8!
I just got back from the mall where I purchased my first pair of size 8 jeans! I haven't been a single digit size in at least ten years! I've spent most of my life in 14-16 and was a REALLY tight 18 at my highest weight of 236. (I refused to shop at the big girl store, so I squeezed my fat butt into those stretchy Old Navy…

125 lbs ago, this was my goal
To be at this weight, to lose 125 pounds... 75 pounds ago, this was not. I knew I was going to lose 120 pounds ( total of 170) and I still have 45 more to go, ( at least) . But, when I weighed 315 pounds, losing 125 pounds was my goal, and I thought I would be happy. Needless to say, I am not done, but I think it is…
