Mens body groomer.....tmi - if you think so don't look! lol
Hi all, my bf has always used a hair shaver/electric comber for his body hair (back in the day he had long hair so saying it worked for his head would be a moot point - lol) but he'd had a problem, or rather I did with his shaver attempting to make him an "older guy" mohawk.......:laugh: cause the shaver was DONE. We…

I ran today!
Running and me haven't mixed well in the past, and yesterday while I was on the phone with my husband he kept insisting that the best way to lose belly/thigh fat is to run. I very reluctantly got onto a treadmill today and miraculously ran for 10 minutes fairly easily. I know that's not a long time, but...it is for me. In…

someone noticed
I hadn't seen my dad's girlfriend in quite a while, and I had dinner with them last night. A few minutes after being there she exclaimed "damn girl you're getting skinny"! My boyfriend has given me compliments but he sees me everyday, she is really the only one so far to actually notice the weight gain (well maybe others…

I finally did the elliptical (for 7 mins) and 20 mins tae bo
This may not be a big deal to some, but for me, it was incredible! Yesterday I met with a trainer for a short time and he had me doing tae bo (this was AFTER my hour workout on the treadmill, and an hour of yoga) and I did it for 20 mins! I was panting and sweating, but I did it! Made me think, well, maybe I can try the…

To inspire...
I feel so inspired by the people that share their before and after pics...they mean so much...Tam...you are awesome...Laura, you continue.... I was on a site before where one of my greatest inspirations went by the name...well, I won't say it on here...but she claimed to lose all this weight, and we were even following her…

I am finally doing it!
I think it is finally time I tooted my own horn. I know this isn't easy for any of us and we all have our own challenges. I joined this site back in Feb of last year, but wasn't consistant following it. I then spent 6 months swollen and dealing with an autoimmune disorder that made any physical activity extremely painful.…

measuring tape, how do I love thee?
I just took my measurements and even though the scale hasn't moved, my least-favorite measurement, the one where I circle the fattest part of my waist, has dropped by an entire inch. I also saw 1/2 inch drops in natural waist (bellybutton level) and thigh. :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: anybody else…

A pleasant surprise!
This is funny and exciting for me so I had to share!:laugh: My battery for my scale has been going. It reads "Lo", I am assuming because the battery is going. However it works every so often. So the last time I weighed myself was at night last week (after my big birthday weekend). :drinker: It read 213.5.( Not too bad for…

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…

I would do just about everything at the gym but mostly the treadmill and bike. I have an awesome friend that is my support and we push each…

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!! I was exhausted, tired, and my brain kept telling me to stop but I pushed through and did it. That half marathon is looking…

Going well...
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. (ok, he didn't weigh himself when we started, but did after about 2 weeks, so he's adjusting from there.) We're thrilled and continuing to eat healthier and keep an eye on those…

In it for the long haul
I've been back on this site since the new year, and my weight has been bobbing back and forth above and below my starting point by a pound or two. It has been a little frustrating, because I have been pretty faithful about logging, and I am trying to increase my exercise level. What I want to say as an encouragement to…

I kept going!
I was on the treadmill and going to do my intervals I do. (walk and jog) Well, when I started to jog I just kept going!! I felt great! I jogged for over a mile and a half!
