Now if I can lose 2 lbs next week I will hit my 175 goal...if I don't lose I will still be happy because I came so close. 175 would mean no more baby weight....none....from either child!…

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. I put a LITTLE bit of the regular ranch on my salad and the taste was so strong, almost overwhelming! I didn't particularly like it.Thank goodness I only put a dab!!!! Can that be a…

first time ever
ok I'll admit I was one of the kids that used every excuse in the book to get out of gym in my school years, otherwise I may have reached this goal long ago:blushing: . 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 am blown away by the difference 11 pounds makes....
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. I went to get ready for an interview yesterday putting on my trusted first interview suit. I looked like a kid wearing their mother's clothes playing dress up. Even the sleeves were a bit too long.…

within a four month period
Around eight months ago i got hired at my current job. I am 5'11" and i used to weigh 228 lbs at 22. The day i stepped on the scale and saw that number is the day i decided that it was the end of the line for my eating habits. I used to go out and party late, get drunk ( consume at least a 40 oz beer) and then end up in…

12lbs in my first week!
I weighed myself yesterday morning and to my complete surprise - I had lost 12lbs in one week! I shouted to the wife that I now weighted 306. She came running into the dressing room where the scale is and made me get back on. Sure enough - the scale said the same thing and we both did a little celebration dance. I do not…

I am now in the overweight catergory!!
The scale was 163.5 this morning which officially moved me from "obese" to overweight"!!! :smile: I have lost 16.5 pounds since the beginning of January and I know that MFP was made it so much easier. It is wonderful to know that any time of day or night somebody is going through exactly what I am going through and is on…

I'm just smaller.
I'm starting to be able to tell now. The scale hasn't moved dramatically, I've only lost 4 pounds since I started (3 since I joined this website). But when I look at myself in the mirror, I can just tell I'm smaller! I have more energy all the time, I don't get worn out walking up and down the stairs. If I don't go to the…

I just jogged 4 miles!!!!
This may not be much but, I am proud of myself. I have been following a training schedule for a mini marathon for the past 6 weeks and today I actually jog the entire time. 4.1 miles @ 4 mph. I have NEVER been able to jog for that long. My goal is to jog @ 5mph by the mini marathon date in late April.

4 to go
That's 4 bottles of water left for today!!! :drinker: and 4 weeks to reach next goal!! I am upping my water intake, decreasing food, and sticking with exercise for the next 4 weeks! The water is the biggest challenge!! I don't drink a lot, so I'm forcing myself to start drinking more. I have got to get away from the soda…

Live, Love, Be Healthy, Be Happy <3
I am new to this site, and I didn't see a place to start a "journal" but I think that's the best way for me to stick to my health plan. Atleast I've heard that doing that helps. =] Anyways, my goal is to just be healthier, and maybe lose around 4-5 extra pounds in the process. I don't ever want to get too skinny, so I…

Small victory milestone
I could go for more Tuesdays like today. I felt as though I completely blew it this past three days with my eating. I've been craving chocolate like something awful, and Valentines Day didn't help. Hello chocolate everywhere. I splurged on a Hershey kiss here and there. And the new Snickers Valentine Cream…

picked up a pen!!
Well what a difference 20 pounds can make. Yesterday I dropped a pen on the floor---now NORMALLY--that would involve trying to push my gut to the side and holding my breath to bend over as my gut would be crushed and THEN I would have to get up one knee with major grunting and effort! YESTERDAY---I just bent over and…

I lost four pounds on my own!! I've never lost weight before when i wanted to. This time i just feel in the moment and like i know what to do, and it's not even hard. that is the totally weird part. I thought it would be such a struggle. I think i learned a secret though. I had a major sweet tooth and would eat cookies or…
