My hoodie...
So I had to tell someone about this, as it's late where I am and I'm sure no one would appreciate me calling to tell them this so... About a month ago we had my mums 50th birthday party, and I went in the house to get a hoodie, and my selection was limited, as I've moved out and taken most of my clothes. So i grabbed the…

All I had to do...
was pull up the message boards, search key word "elliptical", and read some posts to find the motivation to get my butt on the elliptical when I get home. Funny how much I go back and forth about "well, it's Friday... I would love to go home and take a nap" or, "Well, I could go on my run, or do the elliptical, but... I…

He wins... the coat dies...
I have this nice black adidas jacket that I wore for years and loved. My boyfriend hates it and while having friends over last night he mentioned that he hoped it goes to die this year cause of how much weight I lost. I tried it on for the fun of it and oh my... everyone started laughing cause I looked like a child wearing…

Wish me luck
I've had a rough week keeping on track. I just got back from a mini vacation and I think my mind is still there. I do well for the day but go way over board at night time. I WILL START AGAIN TOMORROW. If I don't then I've lost and I'm not going to lose this battle....not this time. Anyone else having this sort of…

Half way There!
I debated about posting this since compared to many I don't have much to loose -- 25 lbs total. But it wasn't the amount that spurred me to do this. In fact I have kept it rather quiet because most that I have told react immediatly with "You look fine!". It wasn't even the fact that my BMI had slipped into the "Overweight…

Starting to see the changes...
I did a little photo test, the first photo is me June 1st, and the second one was me about a week ago. I was starting to get discouraged because I didn't really see any big changes, but I can totally see a difference in photos - especially in my face (sorry the quality is so craptastic)

time span of weight loss
I weighed myself today and lost 4lbs and I started 9 days ago; is that normal or not?

someone finally noticed....
I had a meeting today with a manager from another agency. When I was walking her out of the building, she said that I looked like I was losing weight. She also said I looked great! It was so exciting for me. It's the first time someone who didn't know that I was trying, noticed. It made my day!

Not even tempted!
So my boss had to go to the store this morning for creamer for her coffee and she comes back with a CAKE!!! Not just any old cake either. This is a chocolate marble cake. Yummmmy. It is sitting on the kitchen counter, right where I have to pass by each time I go potty. I have been drinking lots of water, so imagine how…

skinny jeans!
I put my skinny jeans on today for the first time since before I got pregnant! :drinker: (my son is 15 months) I still have a little bit of a muffin top, but I'm working on it. :laugh: I tried them on a couple of months ago and couldn't even get them over my hips! Just goes to show that the numbers on the scale aren't…

Clothes
I went shopping last night because once again I have baggy clothes. I tried a blouse on that was a size 16, a size I have not been since I was in grade 10 ( I am now 47 years old). The blouse fit and even looked great on me!!! My daughter was with me giving me high 5s!

Went Shopping..............In my closet!!!
This morning I had a little time to spare before getting ready for work so I thought I would look through some clothes that have been boxed up in the spare closet. Well, I found some jeans that I bought years ago when I was doing Weight Watchers. I was so proud when I bought those jeans because I hadn't been able to wear…

I Ran!!!
Ive always considered myself an athletic person, but i have always been afraid to try and run, it seems like a sport for the lean and fit. last year my friend took it upon herself to teach me how to run and at the end of about 4 months, she had me jogging for 20 minutes. unfortunatley our paths separated and i stopped…

2 Sizes Down
Well, I guess I have to shut up about losing this much weight and never seeing my pants drop a size :laugh: . I went to old navy a few days ago and tried on some shorts. I found a pair of size 40 shorts (a size below what most of my pants were, but I figured that MAYBE I had gone down a size). I tried them on. Not only did…

Somebody noticed!!
:drinker: So I was at the meeting tonight and one of my friends asked me if I'd lost any weight! I told her yes, I'd lost 12 lbs and she said it really showed! Its only 12 lbs, but every 10 lbs, is one size smaller. It was such an awsome feeling to have someone comment on it! Just thought I'd share it here. I'd never be…

Neckrolls
75 lbs down. still a long way to go, but definitely an improvement from last year.

So, it wasn't just a fluke!!
The other day I posted that I was able to buy a size 18. Well, I thought maybe it was just a fluke because I bought them at WalMart. My friend who has lost a little bit more than me is going to give me some of her 18s. Well, I wanted to be sure they would fit so on my lunch break I went to Cato and tried on some 18s and…

So I recently looked through old photos of myself, and I'm happy! :) I still need a lot more work, but at least I know I got somewhere. Show yours if you like too! (hopefully I know how to post these pictures right) before-- after--

BRAG BOARD
Reading the "confessions" thread made me laugh, and made me feel good to confess, but I got to thinking... all of the good things that us MFP-ers are doing is worth sharing too! Soooo... go ahead! Shout it from the roof tops! Mine: We got very bad thunderstorms here today, but I went running anyhow. Did couch to 5k week 1…

You guys are AMAZING!
This time last year, I topped the scales at about 190lbs - and had done for a year or more. Living in England, I'd lived a VERY sedentary life, which wasn't helped by the fact that I had a fondness for beer, pork scratchings and good old British pie! I tired ALL sorts of diets over the years - including Atkins, starving…

Goal reached, why aren't I happy..
I have reached my goal, but yet I still feel very fluffy. I feel like a skinny girl trapped in a big fish bowl of fat. Isn't that quite the visual??? I know I have accomplished so much, even lost a small person. But now I am questioning, am I ever going to get out of the "fluffy girl" mind set? I went shopping for clothes…

A COW on the HORSE trails!!
Good Morning All!! Ok....So i didn't really feel like a cow (lol) i just thought it was a cute title! However, I DID hike the horse trails by my house last night. I had never been on them and i figured it would be a fun alternative from the track at the high school. I HIKED 5.7 MILES YESTERDAY!!! WOOT! WOOT! I had my ipod…
