Cleaned our Closet
Yesterday my husband and I tried on everything in our closet and got rid of the clothes that were too big. We have two huge garbage bags full of clothes to give to charity. I have no intention of gaining the wieght back so I don't need the clothes. I have kept a pair of pants to do the comparison with when I lose all my…

I AM FAT!!!
Would you believe it? When I started MFP in November of last year, my biggest shock was entering my height and weight in the BMI tool to find out I was obese. "Obese" is "clinical" and a term used to describe folks they have to burry in piano boxes... not how I saw myself, but an awakening nonetheless. I've stuck to MFP as…

OMG...you shaved!
I have a neighbor who I used to see almost daily as she walked her dog through the area. We sometimes walked our dogs together and she is really old but loved to walk her little buddy. I haven’t seen her in a few months and was sort of scared to hear that she had passed or something. I ran into her at the grocery this…

Went shopping today and bought a size...
4!!!!! I tried on a 6, which I just recently got into, and they were a little big. I reluctantly grabbed a 4 and figured "what the heck it doesn't hurt to try." They freaking fit!! I ran out of the dressing room and pranced around in front of the kids and my hubby. On my way back in the dressing room, I asked the sales…

My Longest Run Yet!!!!!
After seeking the advice of some fellow runners on MFP, I went on my long run this morning. 10 miles no walk breaks 89 minutes, 37 seconds I have never been happier about a distance or pace before!!

Okay, so since I started counting calories and such, I've lost 10.5 pounds and my boyfriend who isn't on here has also lost 10 or more pounds.

Is this a success?
I have been on a salad kick lately and I either have no dressing or light ranch. Well I ordered a salad and forgot to say "Light" ranch.

Today I wanted to try something different so I went for a run to see how long I'd last not overly optimistic and I actually, without stopping, ran for a…

I went from just above 151 pounds to currently just below 141 pounds. I hadn't tried on any of my dresses or suits in a while.
