Old Jeans
I put on a pair of jeans today and didn't even realize they were ones that haven't fit in 2 years until I got to work. They were the jeans I kept in my closet just in case one day I woke up and had lost the weight I gained over the last few years. They were the only ones I hadn't gotten rid of because it felt like I was…

I LOST!!!!! DO THE SASSIE DANCE WITH ME!!!!!!
Ok, so when I started my weigh in # was 5 lbs lighter then my new scale said.......so I started measuring my weight last Friday (bought my own scale)........it registered at 249 ish (ok 250) and I am guessing that seeing as I started 15 days ago, it is likely that my original weigh in was a lil over 250, I didn't have my…

Down 4.4 lbs in 2 days?!
I bought a pair of jeans on Wednesday night, skinny jeans, a little on the tight side, well, my tummy bulged over the top :ohwell: But, I thought, they were on sale for $20, and, i'd fit in to them eventually right? I wore them yesterday for my birthday with a loose fitting boho top & they looked fine, not as tight as they…

No WAY!
I weighed myself today, and I am 164.5!!! I thought the # was wrong, it HAD to be, so I weighed myself again, and again, and again. All 164.5 I know some could just be daily fluctuation, but I haven't been under 170 since before I got pregnant with baby #1. Even then Imy lowest was 169! I don't feel like I LOOK like I've…

MY FIRST KICKBOXING CLASS
I decided to go to the gym today. Normally I workout at home because I am too embarassed to go. But I have to tell you. I GOT MY *kitten* KICKED! Now I have taken kickboxing classes in the past, it was more like an aerobics class. But this class was the REAL DEAL! The trainer is a 17 year amateur boxer. We started with…

My son gave me the best compliment!
Last night I was in the living room and I heard my 22 year old son say "You're pants are so tiny!" I got up to go see what he was talking about and he was taking my jeans out of the dryer so he could use the dryer. He said, "You're pants are so tiny. They're so cute. They look like little tiny teenager pants." :laugh:…

I am sooooo proud of myself!!
I recieve a tin of really yummy cookies for a big purchase we just made. I ate only 1 (rather than all of them) and brought the rest to work where everyone else can eat them!!! I think I am actually ready for change this time. Usually I would keep them and eat all of them in like 2 days. Michelle

Another small step
Today my boss and I went to a class and then afterwards out to lunch. I knew she would want to go out to eat and I thought about it all morning. Well, since she was paying I couldn't exactly dictate where to go so I just said "Anywhere is fine". Well, we ended up at IHOP and guess what............while she was having a…

29 pounds lost since August... wanna know what I'm doing?
As someone who has spent years kinda yo-yo dieting and not being able to stay very focused, I can relate to what a lot of the people who use this site are going through. About 3-4 months before my 30th birthday, I set out to lose "30 by 30". Well, I got off to a late start, and that didn't happen. But the age of 30 did…

I cheated...
and weighed myself today... In 10days I've lost 7 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it. I haven't wanted to eat crap and I've enjoyed exercising. I am disgusted at the thought of what I used to eat and how lazy I was. It must have been pretty vile to be able to lose 7lbs that quickly. But, I'm on the right track now so…

10 down, many more to go
SOOO people! What's with this 'MFP' rewarded me for my ten pounds thing? MFP DID NOT REWARD ME FOR LOSING TEN POUNDS. Neither did it penalize me. haha. ANYWAY. First ten are gone, only 70 more to go. My next goal is 11lbs, because in another 11lbs I'll be overweight instead of obese. :bigsmile: OH, and my resting heart…

Hooray 4 miles today!!
One mile Classic walk and 3 miles Walk Away Your Waistline. 15 minute miles. Still not moving that scale and really not seeing the inches change. I feel good, but really want to see that scale start to drop. I don't mind being over the hill I just don't want to roll down the other side!
