I have been big as far back as I can remember. I had all the usual excuses, It's Genetic.....I don't have time.....I can't do it. I was wrong. My DW and I came to…

My first workout success!
I just finished a 60 minute workout on my stationary bicycle! I'm so excited! Now, I know that may not seem so great to al the fit folks, but I'm coming from a very sedentary lifestyle at about 266# here. The longest I've ever done before is 40 minutes and I thought I was going to die. I usually give up after 20. Tonight,…

Size 12 dress!
I bought one! I bet it is a large 12 and it is pretty snug (I figure this way it will continue fit me for at least a couple months) , but it is a 12 and I have not seen that number in ages. So excited! Now if I can get down to a 10 I will be at my smallest size EVER. Onward!

Plateau: you had it coming!
After three weeks where I weighed 173, then 172, then back UP to 173 (AUGH!!!), I stepped on the scale today and was down to 169!!! Wooohoo! Out of the 170's! I can't believe it! By the way, after the 3rd week of weighing 172/173, I did a couple of things differently: (1) I went jogging on two different occassions, and (2)…

MFP Success...How did you do it?
Hi! I am new to this site and I am just wondering for those of you that have been successful, did you follow MFP exactly? (i.e. did you eat back all of your exercie calories-like it instructs you too?) Also, I am curious if people that were successful kept within the fat/cal/carb/protien range that is suggested? I hope…

Today I saw colleagues and friends that…

feeling great!
Today, I spent an hour on the machines at the gym, and sincerely enjoyed (almost) every minute of it! I burned 800 calories, and the only reason I stopped was because it's almost dinner time. I found a machine I actually LIKE working out on. I've never enjoyed working out before, and I consider this such a success, I…
