After running upstairs and grabbing the phone, I noticed that I wasn't out of breath nor was I breathing hard. It felt GOOD!!! :happy: Before…

Lost another 2 lbs this week. I'm down 57 lbs since July 2008. Big sigh of relief. :smile: I have a question - I have another 76 lbs to lose. . . when I get close to my healthy weight - the exercises I am doing - will my stomach ever be flat? I eat 1200 calories a day, do sit ups every other day, strength training every…

When the scale won't move.....
The tape measure will!!! My scale has been stagnant this week. I have been working out, eating well within calories and have been feeling great. The scale doesn't show my effort. So last night, I got out the tape measure and I was down another inch from my hips!!! That is 11 inches less booty than there used to be!!!!
-
that's something right?
So this is week number 2 for me. The first week I lost 3 lbs, this week so far stayed the same. I only have 10 pounds total to loose so I'm sure it's going to take a little longer, but I know it's better that way because it will stay off! Anyway, I took my measurements and I've lost 2 inches in my waist and 1 in my hips!…

Need a new wardrobe!!
Like many people who are overweight, for the last few years I have hated shopping for clothes. Nothing looked good and everything reminded me of how I had let myself go. I fell into the whole trap: Voluminous shirts untucked, slip on shoes, "hidden" elastic waist band pants. What was worse is that I was in sales in a…

Not sure whether to celebrate or be worried
Okay on Sunday I weighed myself and was 252lbs and my waist was 46" I've just turned 50 so I was real worried. That was it I decided I needed to diet. Monday a friend told me about this site so I started using the food diary. I was pleased that I wasn't using all the allowed calories. We walk the dog each evening and this…

I avoided the bagel!!!
I'm very proud of myself. The whole way into work I kept thinking about getting a bacon egg and cheese bagel from this juice place right by my office. I rationalized that it couldn't be more than 600 calories and I'd just watch what I ate the rest of the day. Plus, it's friday so that makes it okay. (Seriously???) Anyway,…
