2 More lbs This Week!
I :heart: MFP. Seriously, this is the best no-nonsense plan I have ever tried. I am down another 2 bringing my grand total to 13 lbs in 5 weeks. I can't believe how strong I'm getting.... am getting up at 6 a.m. 2x per week to meet the personal trainer I've started working with and last week, almost all of the weights had…

I did it!
I did it. I lost 9 pounds this week. I know some of that is fluid loss, but a loss is a loss. I am so excited to live better. What makes this loss so great for me is that over the last two years I have really struggeled to lose any weight , let alone 9 lbs. in one week. I feel so motivated. I even woke up thinking about…

5lbs this week!
And almost 9lbs total since I joined! Walking in my neighborhood 6 days week and having the food diary here have helped more than anything. Of course reading the posts on the message board are good too. Thanks to all for just being here and providing everyone else the motivation to keep taking back our lives!

Went on Vacation
Last week we went on vacation. It was so nice when my mom and daughter saw how much weight I have lost. It was hard to eat well on vacation when going to restaurants and ordering a small steak and veggies I found they put salt and butter on the food, WHY. We learned we had to ask for it to be cooked without salt and…

Back on Track
I finally got back on track after a month of not concentrating this week. I also changed my goals to just a pound a week loss and counted 1500 cals a day instead of 1200. I am amazed and delighted to announce a 2.5 lb loss!!

What improvements have you made in your life/ diet?
Since starting this journey, what have you improved on? It's good to celebrate the small things. I have pretty much cut out soda altogether, I never (except maybe on "junk food night") buy it, and only have the occasional glass at someone else's house. This is huge for me, because I never imagined I could break my near 2L…

Whats so good about being 19 anyway ?!?!
When I was a teenager I thought that it was pretty stupid for people to be worried about turning 30, but as I'm only a few weeks away from my 30th birthday I've been seeing things differently. Anyway, when I was jogging this morning I crossed the point which marks 5km and (while still running) I realised that its not only…

Enchiladas
It is so difficult to be good in my house. The sweet aroma of authentic Mexican food is a constant tease for brekfast, lunch and dinner. It's a shame that my cultures food is so fatty. Anyway, I am still proud of myself. I usually eat about 5-6 green enchiladas when we have them for dinner. Last night I practiced some form…

Actually weighed in at doctors
I had to go to the doctors this week and anytime I go I always refuse to step on the scale. I'm sure my file says "difficult patient...refuses to weigh". lol This time I said okay and I was alright with that. I haven't done that in 10 years. Also I'm a teacher and I went back to work and everyone was telling me how good I…

What one year can do.
I have been on MFP one year today. Even though I did not make it to my goal in a year I have grown spirit as well as in my health. One year can change your habits I had a horrible day yesterday. I got some not so good news and could find no one to talk to. The old me would have bought a pizza or some fried chicken for…

Losing weight again
I'd been slacking on logging all my calories, and as a result I gained back a few pounds. Well, I'm back to a 1200 cal/day diet, and I've lost four pounds in the last week and a half. And, I'm not hungry or feeling deprived, at all!

Back in Onederland
My weight today is 199 lbs. I am FINALLY under 200 and planning to stay here for good! Just 4 more pounds and I won't be obese anymore.

Holy crud!
Last night I was wearing a pair of capri jeans that fit me perfectly everywhere but the waist- and let's just say I had plumber's crack :laugh: . I didn't have a belt but I dug one out of a box that I packed up for Goodwill and put it on- it fit perfectly! I hadn't been able to wear it in about three years.

I'm finally under 200 punds!!!

Close Call!!!
OMG...I was so close to going hog wild today. I'm a stress eater. When I get upset, I eat. Between the loss of my twin grandsons, my aunt, my brother, being laid off, my daughter's psycho ex boyfriend...I gained so much weight in the last few years it's crazy. Today I was upset about something. I went to go walk, but I…

GO ME!!!
We went to go look at the new house that we are having built, on the way home my husband and daughters are chanting for a hot fudge sundae. So we stop at Mcdonalds. I order sundaes for them and take the dollar for me and put it in my weighloss rewards jar. WOO HOO.... it would have been good but they are all done eating it…

Just when I needed it...
So i was feeling a little bit doubtful in myself recently...started a post yesterday asking for input for the "last 15" and got some great feedback. Well I went to the gym for kickboxing class - had fun, great workout...actually getting to know some of my fellow classmates and it's very welcoming. After, an old co-worker…

Thats the first time I've been told I'm hot (other than my fiance) in over a year!!! It feels great to know that other people are…

When someone else notices...
So I was walking through one of the connecting work areas to my office from outside and one of the guys I see not-so-often stops me and say "looks like you've been losing weight, you're looking good". I'm pretty sure he's not gay so to me that's a big deal. When someone who has no reason to really care makes a comment it…
