Wow... I didn't think people would notice...
So, I've only lost, like, 4 pounds, but I went to my cello lesson with my teacher today, who hasn't seen me in three weeks. As soon as I walk in, her son goes "Hey, you look good, did you lose weight?" and right behind him comes my teacher, and she goes, "Yeah, sweetheart, did you lose weight?" And I was like... "Um, not…

A letter I wrote to a friend and newcomer to MFP. I thought
Welcome to MyfitnessPal. I warn you it can be as addicting as Face book but with much better results. I signed on in late January. I set a small goal for me of about 30 pounds or so I think. I have lost 20. Let me tell you it came off slow. But every time I got to check in with a new number and saw that number change it…

I'm amazed at how far I've come
It hit me today how far I've really come from even just six months ago. Yeah, I've lost some weight, but it's so much more than that. I started off this year just wanting to drop those last 20 pounds. So I joined a gym and started running on the treadmills. At first, I could only run two minutes at a time. I'm now running…

What a great day for a ride!
Finally broke the ol' recumbent out today. What a wonderful day. My husband and I had a friend join us on one of our extra recumbent tadpoles and had just an awesome ride! We're talking full advantage of the cool spell we've been having here lately. Can't wait to do it again. Oh, and the 1100 calories it burned makes it…

It Fits!!!!!
OK so this is a totally unexpected accomplishment (at least so soon). I fit in my wedding dress!! We got it in November. I tried on a 20, should have gotten a 22 if I wanted it for that weekend, but left with an 18 (that was the compromise with my mom, I wanted a 14, ok with a 16, she wanted the 20...) So I have lost about…

I actually didn't blow it this weekend!
I am proud to say that I finally did it! I stayed within my calorie limits and exercised both days this weekend. It has been so hard to get to this point. Ever since I started this I would do fine and remain on a schedule all week, then, BAM -- the weekend would hit and I would lose control. So, I've climbed another notch…

Do you ever stop and look at your accomplishments??
I went to my usual running spot today and I was just off. I felt deflated physically so I just kind of pushed myself as far as I could go but I knew there were hills coming up...lots of them. So knowing that I also wanted to run tomorrow I decided I was happy with what I did and I would walk the rest of the way. It was so…

5 lbs in a week...
I am loving the program. I had no idea how much I was randomly eating until I had to start entering it in for the day. I don't expect 5 lbs every week that is for sure. But it is amazing how proud I am of myself. I am looking forward to seeing what the next several months have in store. BTW, I went shopping yesterday and…

Better than I ever imagined!
As some of you may know, my son was in an auto accident on Easter that left him with a broken neck. Long story short, I haven't been able to go to work (I work at our local high school) since before Easter. So, finally, I was able to return this week. Everyone expected me to return bigger than ever. You know how you eat…

I made time for me
Today for the first time in months I was able to find time to do my own workout. I am a group fitness instructor and it's just not the same intensity when your teaching a class. One of my goals is to run 3 to 4 times a week for no less than 30 minutes but with family and work and teaching I was really struggling to fit it…

At 32%, I am now at average body fat, woot! Today is also Day 60 with P90X so great day all around. Here are some progression photos with lbs. Technically, I'm still 9 lbs "overweight" but I'm sure that will come off also sooner or later. I'll be back in another 30 days :smile:.

Getting somewhere!
I joined MFP roughly two weeks ago and I lost 5lbs! I honestly don't think I could have done that...this site is such a great motivator! As I am organizing my apartment, I found a pile of "skinny" clothes that I love and didn't want to give up...I tried them on for fun and I was able to stuff myself in them, which means I…
