Courage & Determination
As some of you know, I have Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and am very committed to being as strong and healthy for as long as I can. I was diagnosed in 2001, I was so afraid that my life as I knew it was over. During my first steroid treatment I met a Susie, she is one of the most amazing persons I have ever met. She encouraged…

For those of you who remember me posting about 6 weeks ago introducing myself, I mentioned that I was participating in a weight loss challenge called Scale Back Alabama. It is a 10 week challenge where the goal is to lose atleast 10 lbs. When I joined MFP I was about 4 weeks in and had lost about 6 lbs already. I am happy…

I'm finally back into my size 4-6s! Oilily World here I come
I cannot believe it. I started this journey of a lifestyle change Feb 2, 2009. At the time, I could not get my Oilily skirts over my hips. Now they are big. :bigsmile: I haven't any idea what I actually weight cause the scales at my regular YMCA are always weighing heavy by 2-5 pounds. But I weighed myself with my shoes on…

13 year old jeans

This is kind of funny.
The man I sit next to at work asked we where I was going when I I got to work today. I said "What do you mean, I just got here?" Then he said "well you disappear a little bit more each week and I just wondered where you were going." On a sadder note some of my overweight work buddies are avoiding me and when I am around…

An old one and a new one
March 2008. I was ready for a pro fight in Muay Thai Long story short I got kicked in the jaw with a shin and stayed down for too long. University kicked in, with dissertations and coursework. Started working 7 days a week, 2 jobs. Ate whatever I could find in the freezer. Chips/pizzas and stuff. Stopped going to the gym.…

Finally fixed it!
:happy: I actually started my weight loss journey back in January, but found this site after I had already lost 10 pounds. Originally, I set my ticker up to only show what I had lost since joining this site and it was really discouraging to me. It only showed a small fraction of the hard work I had done. So, today I…
