My FIRST Compliment!!
Was actually from a trainer at the gym. I was working out on the stability ball and she walked up to me and gave me some tips (obviously I was doing it wrong) and she said ...."You are in great shape, and very strong, you should can use heavier weights than that!" Hey, I may have looked like an idiot doing my workout…

finally
I joined this web site in December 07, and was very faithful sticking to the 1200 calories that the site recommended, and also worked out faithfully. BUT... I had no success, not even one little pound. Well 4 weeks ago I started working with a personal trainer, which I just love. She told me to boost my calories to 1400,…

Had a scare!
Okay so I had a scare and thought over spring break I gained a bunch because I did AWFUL....ends up it was water weight, BUT I'm so glad I did freak. Now, I've got my energy back for it and WHY I'm doing this. I also decided to raise my goal...10 lbs seems doable where as 17 felt impossible. After I lost that then I'll…

I beat the plateau!
Shortly after starting MFP I hit a plateau and no matter what I did I could not get under 200. I got frustrated then angry and gained back five pounds. Today I stepped on the scale and was 198! I know I will most likely hit another before I am done, but I won't get upset and will keep doing what I should.:bigsmile:

I did the hundred!
I've been working on the hundredpushups.com challenge since late last summer. After setbacks and a lot of hard work, I finally managed to hit 100 plank style (boy style) push ups! :bigsmile: I am going to move back a few weeks and work on getting lower and maybe different hand positions. I like the progress I am seeing in…

The Husband is Losing!!!
Just sharing this hurtle I've gotten over....since starting MFP I've seen great results, and of course they've rubbed off on my husband as well. He wasn't completely on board until this morning, after he returned from his yearly physical (for which I forced him to attend). He's down 17 lbs., his BP is within normal/low…

I DID NOT eat Fast Food Today...
I could have and wouldn't have felt the least bit guilty about it. It has been months since I've seen a drive thru but I was at the office today and was out of salad fixin's and fresh foods of any kind. Looked in the freezer and thought I don't want this, I don't want that...you know the story. Decided it was total…

Why is life so depressing?
Sometimes I think the whole world is just TOO messed up. Last night a grade 8 student that my fiance teaches hung herself. Her Grandmother found her this morning. She was only 13. She wasn't a bad kid, she wasn't being bullied at school. She had been living in foster care and was only recently placed with her Grandma. How…

I need new clothes!! :)
Today I weighed in 20 pounds lighter than when I started in October! :happy: I haven't seen this number on the scale since 4 years ago!!! And yesterday, the "If every day were like today, you'd weigh __ in 5 weeks" tool showed me a number I haven't seen in 8 years! This is amazing!! The best part, by far, is that for the…

**Just barely, not enough to be under eating** It's the first time this week that I've been able to stay under my calories. And minus a migraine from a huge storm coming, I feel awesome! And I did it by hearing about all y'all's accomplishments. So thank you!! :happy: :laugh: :smile: :laugh: :happy: :laugh: :smile: :laugh:…

OMG!!! I have lost my first 20!!!!!
This is so not easy to do. Every milestone is amazing, and brings a new feeling of accomplishment. So although i only lost ONE pound this week ... My total loss to date is 20 pounds.

Being recognized
Yesterday was an amazing day for me! I was standing with a group of fellow workers and someone came up to us and paid me the best compliment! She said she had been looking for me and passed by the group I had been talking to three times not recognizing me, because I looked so different with all the weight I have lost! I…
