FIRST GOAL MET
Hi, everyone I have finally made it out of the 200's. YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I weighted in today at 198. Now I'm on to my 2nd goal to make it to the lowest weight that I have been since I started having babies. My oldest son will be 14 tomorrow so it has been a while. My week has not been without challenges this week. My 5 year…

I didn't give in!!
I am a sucker for free food. Today we had a pizza party at work and I didn't eat one slice! I had a plan, packed my food, and did not partake of the pizza. Normally, I would be the first in line, but not today. It may seem little, but it is a big success for me personally. :smile: I need a smiley that pats itself on the…

Lame-o Co-workers!
I've always been considered the office weirdo for eating healthy. So I've kept quiet about my weight loss program. Someone finally noticed yesterday and said to me: "Sooooooo....... How much weight have you lost?" After I told her she said: "Oh.... Yeah.... I saw you eating an apple in the breakroom..... yuck!" Then…

I love my tape measure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I decided to take my measurements today and see how far I have come. I have been fighting with the scale lately (the thing is the :devil: ) but I am not sweating it. Anyways, I wish that I would have done my measurements when I first started but for some reason I didn't. The ones that I did was from Febuary 8, 2009, a…

I passed it up!
I am a pharmacist in a grocery store and today is the 2 year anniversary of the stores' reopening (it was closed and torn down and rebuilt). So there is food everywhere! Samplings of everything you could imagine. And they had a huge cake for customers and employees. I turned it down. I NEVER turn down dessert. I'm so proud…

Bellybutton!
I wasn't expecting to see a whole lot of progress as I never really had much to lose, but I've been taking progressional pictures anyway. I'm thrilled to report that while I don't look too different, my bellybutton does! It's starting to look much shallower, which is very reassuring. The last time I saw her, my 4 year old…

Skinny pic and me and wife "Mariettarose" July 25 09, and the not so skinny pic is us last October. The diff is about 100 pounds. 58 for me and 42 for her. Straight diet and exercise. :happy:

Grand Canyon hiking!
:bigsmile: This morning we went hiking down into the canyon & I was able to do it with no problem! :bigsmile: Last summer we tried some hiking & I just couldn't do it. I got overheated & dehydrated & breathless after just a little distance - not even uphill. The only thing that kept me from collapsing was the thought of…

Goal! Cholesterol is under control
My regular doc's visit last March turned up high cholesterol in my blood work. Granted, I had a few pounds to lose and my eating habits weren't great (but I wasn't terribly out of shape, either). I started in earnest in April to eat better and exercise. My goal was to get the cholesterol under control without drugs. I just…

Size WHAT???? (long-ish but triumphant!)
I went to the local Wal-Mart for just a few things, not clothes related, but since it was quiet at that time of night (late), I decided to see what they had in shorts, because I need shorts. Mine are way too big now (VBG) and also are wearing out badly. Didn't like a lot of what they had but did pick up a couple of Danskin…

Almost in 'healthy' range for my BMI!
Just wanted to post my mini-success here: I've lost 5 lbs in 4 weeks, and am now right on the borderline of that magic 'healthy' rating for my BMI! Only a half pound more to go till i'm below 25! Haven't seen that number for over a year now. I also just discovered the 'reports' section of this site, which is an awesome way…

Jogging success
I've recently started jogging and walking (working my way up to full jogging). Wednesday when I went out last, I jogged for 17 minutes interspersed with 23 minutes of walking. I just got back today, and I was able to jog for 22 minutes with 18 minutes of walking. It looks like I'm increasing the jogging time. In fact, the…

I joined a gym
YAY! I kept saying I would and I kept putting it off. I had a terrible day yest. and was about to put it off yet again but I went in looked around and signed up. The staff there is AMAZING. He was so helpful. It is so crazy cheap too. Open 24 hrs, tanning, they have machines I've never even seen before! It's between my FT…

Did something I've never done
So, I finally got rid of my "fat" clothes. Even when I lost weight at WW I never go rid of my fat clothes. I guess it was a safety net, just in case I gained weight. Well, this time, there is NO GOING BACK!!!! Memaw

Results I can actually see in a belt.
Slow weight loss is not something that is very noticeable except for on the scale. A few months ago, I had to buy a new belt, because in an attempt to cut a new hole in my old one, I cut it right in half. So this new belt I have is the double hole kind and the entire belt is made of the these double holes. (it's 2 vertical…

I broke the 17 minute mile!!!!!
Okay I know breaking 17 minutes isn't impressive for most - but I weigh over 280 pounds and I just ran/walked the mile in 16 minutes and 49 seconds. I'm proud - and I thought I did good when I broke the 18 minute mile 2 days ago. I set a goal for myself. I'm going to run a 5k in 2010. For me .. that takes a lot of training…

Ramblings of a "foodie". Beyond expections.
I just wanted to share. In late May I decided to stop even trying to lose weight, I was at 142. I had gone from 174 to 142. Goal accomplished. Now I am at 130 and am in a size 4....I started in January in a 12. It's been awhile since I have posted here or even written any of my friends on this forum. It's important to get…

I never get tired of hearing...
Here is an actual email I recieved a couple of days ago. "I just wanted to say again that you look absolutely fabulous!!! You took me by surprise. Way to go Pat. I need to lose a good 25 but just don't have the will power. I seem to find the excuses. Have a good rest of your weekend," I never get tired of hearing things…

Just Noticed this!
Some of you might not understand this and some of you will really appreciate it. I was walking to the ladies room and I just happened to notice that now, when I look down the first thing I see are the "girls". Before losing the 29lbs all I would see is my stomach sticking out. You see the "girls" are pretty small so for…
