Finally lost a pound!!!
Oh - MY - Gosh!!! I am so relieved that the scale finally budged this last week! I have been trying so hard the last two months trying different things reading everyone's advice about plateau's and I think I finally got it down. I had to cut out basically all processed sugar :( Which makes me sad cause I love my treats…

I just weighed myself and I'm down about 5 pounds! I've really gotten back on track with my diet and exercise. I've picked up cycling again and the Pilates and treadmill. I'm actually excited again! I love this feeling. My emotions are still wreaking havoc with me but I'm coping a little better. Going through some really…

someone noticed
:wink: So I was at my mom’s house tonight, and she said to me “wow I can really tell you are losing inches” Then she said, “Going to the gym is really paying off for you!” I felt great about this!! It is so nice to have people notice, even if it is my mom lol :flowerforyou:

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…

Sizes
Just wanted to say... 2 shirt sizes down, 2 pant sizes down. Now wearing a men's medium shirt, and size 38 bottoms. Booyah. Gotta get myself down to 34 so I can wear dior homme jeans. I have a bet with a friend of mine (fashion designer) that if I can get there, he'll buy me 2 pair.

This hard work does pay off!!!! =0)
Ok, so I have been working out like crazy and watching what I have been eating and I would have to say the past month I have just been going about my "diet" and exercise routin without a second thought. I mean sure there are those days where I ate out or had something "bad", but I still counted for it on my daily calories.…

My shirt WAS too small....
So, I bought a dress shirt (button up type) a couple of months ago and it was a little snug on the arms. So, I figured, when I lost some weight, it would fit just right. However, I tried it on yesterday morning, thinking it would still be snug, and now it is too big! :grumble: I felt like I may as well be wearing a potato…

A small success
I know this is a little silly to get excited over, but I had to share. One of the reasons I am trying to lose weight and get healthier is to avoid high cholesterol & blood pressure and diabetes. Two years ago my total cholesterol was 220 and my triglycerides (sp?) was 350 so I have been trying to eat better for since then.…
