The most amazing thing just happened...
So I just finished Spin class #2 for the week. After class the instructor came over and asked "Have you lost weight? It really looks like it." Of course I can tell a small difference in my clothes, but when a man that I only see for 2 hours a week notices...WOW! Don't get me wrong I weigh in and everything, but I guess it…

4 pounds gone!
I posted about being discouraged, but I got on that scale and 4 pounds are gone for sure! That's really encouraging. Also, I can see some abs under that midsection fat! I always had them, they've just been covered. I have to admit, the weight loss is not what I expected, but at least the scale is finally going in the right…

successful vacation
I went on a mini-vacation to Atlanta and went shopping and ate out all weekend. I was careful in my choices but had strawberry shortcake at "The Cheesecake Factory". I felt very guilty and made sure that I worked out at the hotel. (before I wouldn't have cared about a fitness room only the breakfast :laugh: ) I was finally…

YAY for stairs!
Sounds silly, but I just noticed something today. I wanted to get the Elmo hoodie for little Gavin so I ran upstairs (2 flights) to get it. I ran into the boys room and bent down to pick it up off the floor. And at that moment I realized that I wasn't out of breath. I don't know, but I got a kick out of it.:bigsmile:

First Piece of Advice
If ANYONE could give one piece of advice (or more) to help get started back to HEALTHY. . . What would it be?

gotta love free!
so, they had this contest at my curves. everytime you worked out 3 days a week you get a sticker to place on a chart on the wall. you also get stickers for streching after each workout, showing a trainer a food log (MFP!), loosing 5lbs or 5 inches (i lost 3lbs and 7 inches - woo!), and so on. for each sticker you get to…

Already! ...and I just started!
I just started MFP and really trying to lose weight almost a week ago and I haven't even been on a scale to see if I've actually lost any weight yet...and today two people that I haven't seen in a while told me I look like I'm losing weight! They didn't even have a clue that I was trying to lose weight! I haven't told…

GGGOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLL
No, I didn't play soccer this weekend. But I did get to a normal BMI. Yeah me! So I'm now at "goal". That is to say, I've made all the weight loss-related goals I started with. I lost over 90 pounds, I have a normal BMI, and I'm in a size smaller than 10, my initial size goal. I really didn't have any goals beyond that. I…

The things kids say
So a while ago I would say about 6 months ago my daughter said that I was fat. I know she didn't mean it but at that point I was trying to loose the weight. well, yesterday while we were in the car my son said something about not being a fat mama and I said well what am I and my daughter said the skinny mama. :bigsmile:…

Not Since Middle School
So I never have written on this thing before, but I woke up and did my weight in, and found that I finally have broken into the 140's. I have not been in there since at least MIDDLE SCHOOL. I'm very proud of myself....just wanted to share. Eating healthy & exercising can really pay off. :)

3 small healthy meals = 1200 calories
I was just curious how many people follow a 3 sm meal =1200 calories a day diet. If so how long have you been doing it for. Has it worked well to loose weight? Could you follow this as a life change? Apparently it's healthy to live on a calorie restrickted diet but I'm not sure how many calories.

My Boyfriend's Success!
I've mentioned a couple times on these forums that my boyfriend, Josh, has been doing the logging right along with me. As a weird coincidence we both had the same start and goal weight: 162lbs start and 145lbs goal (hehe I'm a few inches taller than he is). I hit my goal a few days ago (yay!) and today my boyfriend hit…

Shopping is so much fun...
when you can shop for smaller sizes. I went to the mall over the weekend and, even though I didn't buy a new outfit, it was still fun shopping for a smaller size. I am normally buying a size 14 skirt. After losing 16 pounds, I was able to put on a size 8 skirt. :noway: :drinker: I was so excited and my motivation shot…

Wuz gonna complain but then.......
I caught a glimpse of my ticker. 30 pounds was my ultimate goal. Once I got there about a month ago I went into a plateau. Now I was gonna whine and complain. Why me? I just wanna lose another 10-15. Then I remembered I was hoping to lose 20 pounds and would be really happy if I lost 30! I DID!!! So from now on I am saying…

I joined a local city Biggest Loser Competition on Feb 28.(my 30 birthday) Last Saturday was the second weigh in and I had lost 19.4 lbs. I lost 9.44% :smile: The lady weighing said "oh my gosh you did freakin' awesome. So I haven't got the official number where I came in she said probably the top 5. But I only had to be…

Weigh in day!
So this Friday when I weighed in I was 260.4! I'm sooooooooo excited for Friday because I KNOW I'll be in the 250's! I don't remember when I saw the scale say 250 something, What makes you excited about loosing?
-
halfway home...
So I weighed in today and I was 251.5! That's half way to my goal of 220 from 281.5. It has only been 10 weeks. Man, I know the next 30 are going to be that much harder, but at least there is light at the end of the tunnel. i know when I get to 220, I will want to get down to 200, but hey, baby steps :)

I also wore mostly small tops some mediums depending on the fit of it. I know I am totally gloating but I am just shocked and surprised that…

My success in 30 days
So I leave for my vacation today. I am proud of what I HAVE done but I know I could of probably done a bit better since I had a bad week of almost no exercising and being a bit lazy and unmotivated this week. All in all I started at the beginning of March hoping to look good for my vacation. My goal was to loose 7 lbs. I…

My scale better not be lying!!
So I have been anxiously awaiting to get on the scale. I weighed myself when I first joined MFP on 3/26, and then waited today to step on the scale again. To my surprise, it said I lost 4 lbs!! I couldn't/still don't believe it! I know that scale I have is a flip flopper and changes all the time, but I'm really hoping it…
