What do you guys think?
I have set my goals at 2 lb/week, and I have been here since 12/27 (so that's four weeks as of tomorrow). I have always been 100% honest about what I log(both food and exercise), and have tried to eat back exercise calories, if I fail to hit the full mark, I am only leaving behind maybe 100~150 cals. So it seems like I am…

Eeeeeeek......
Okay, so I go to the gym with my co-worker, who is a tiny tot of a woman---compared to me!!!:laugh: So, we do some exercise, and she said it was her day to weigh in----she weighs on Wednesdays. So, we stroll on over to the scale, which looks like an animal scale to me (big ole silver box just lying on the floor, and it's…

Tam's Story!! :)
I think a lot of people know my story, but here goes! I was a fit and healthy and active child. I never had a weight problem until I got closer to puberty. Since then, it has been a battle of epic proportions! (Or is that portions! LOL!) I was one of those girls that developed fast and had no idea what to do with the new…

Have you ever felt this way??
I've been working our pretty hard these last few months. With a few hiccups around the holidays. But I've managed to lose about 4 lbs. Good right! Well I fell like I lost 10. I look in the mirror and see a bigger difference than the number on the scale. Just not sure it makes sense. Maybe it's a mind over matter thought.…

I lost my first two pounds!
:smile: OMG I finally lost two pounds! It took more than a week but I can't believe it because for the past few months I've been gaining. Maybe there is something to eating balanced meals (and even a snack) that is good for me. Until now I'd been cutting my caloric intake to almost nothing before I joined here and I think…

Oh happy day!!
I was going to do a victory dance, but in my new high heals, I may fall on my head :blushing: Today was weigh in day for our Biggest Loser contest here at work. I had been stressing knowing I was going to have to pay the pot because I had gained....WELL, much to my suprise, I had LOST 1.8 pounds...WAHOO!!! I'll take it…

First time loser!!!!
I am so stoked and SO proud of myself for sticking with this. I'm a first time lifestyle changer and reformed Dr Pepper addict and I've worked SO hard for the past two weeks to change so much. At times I was overwhelmed at the amount of changes I had to make in order to achieve my weight goals but I stuck with it. My goals…

SO bad but so good!
so I went over my calories tonight by 685...yes I binged:( but...I told myself there was a way to turn it all around and that was too burn those 685 calories working out. Believe me...I was laughing at myself thinking that was possible but I crawled off the couch, put my big girl undies on, strapped on my HRM and got my…

I'm so proud.
Tonight I went to The Cheesecake Factory and did not order cheesecake!!! I ordered a salad with seared tuna steak with low calorie dressing on the side. This is almost unheard of for me. I feel proud of my self control. I stayed under my allowed calories and did 3 miles on the treadmill.

increased my time!
My success is that I was able to increase my jogging time to 3 minutes 9 seconds! I know it doesn't sound like much but it's a big step for me. I started a run/walk program 2 months ago and was only able to run 30 seconds at one time and it slowy increased each week but I had severe leg pain. I got stuck on 2 minutes.…

Baby steps
Yippee! I'm making progress. I've been faithfully logging meals and trying to plan ahead so I eat in a balanced way. I've been doing some light aerobics every day to get moving again. I have to be careful since I've got health issues but just being consistent is a start. Now if I could just find a fitness buddy to help me…

But coming on here and getting the support and motivation i realized i earned those two pounds :smooched: i did that and…

I <3 MFP
I can't do diets successfully as depriving myself certain foods makes me crave them. Since moving to the US my portion control changed. I got used to the much larger portions they serve over here, and slowly and surely gained weight. MFP is allowing me to take control and to re-educate myself on food portion size. I'm…

Closet Victory!!!
I was searching for something to wear to work this morning and came across this cute litlte brown jacket that I could only wear UN-buttoned last winter. (even then it was stretching out to accomodate me :embarassed: ) I thought..."what the hey" and tried it on...IT FITS!!!! I can button it like a normal jacket!!! :drinker:…

May be small but still a success
I did an extra 5 mins on the treadmill tonight. I even managed to run for about 30 seconds!! That is something I haven't done in YEARS!!!! While this might seem like a tiny victory to some, for me it's almost astronomical!!! Especially after how bad I felt about myself last night!!! I was going to try the 30day shred again…

Fast food.. I skipped it... :)
So my b/f had a really bad day and just wanted to go to our local pizza place to have a couple slices of pizza and beer for dinner. My first thought was OMG, I am going to want to eat something that is WAY over my 350 cals I had left for the day... just the garlic smell of that place makes me want to eat bad! I took a deep…

I smell success!!
Okay. When I started my journey about 2 weeks ago I was at 207lbs. When I started here I was 204.4lbs. This morning I weighed (not official til Monday though) and I am 203.3 lbs.. So I have an almost 4lb loss! It feels great and is great motivation to keep going. When I see 199lbs I'll know I'm doing something right!

I lost 40 lbs with no diet or exercise!!
I did! I lost 40 lbs in 10 days!!! I didn't have to exercise or eat right or anything!! Of course, it was right after I had my baby, and I was so swollen I could hardly move, but it still counts, right? Best diet ever!! :laugh:

I kept up with them and won!
I know this sound ridicilous, but I am so very happy. I went with my daughter to her church group tonight because it was parent's night and they have game time. Her game time was with the 3rd through 6th graders. I kept up with them through all the games, we ran lots of laps, we did relays, we played a football throwing…

I lost 4 lbs! Wow!
So, I can't believe it! Recuperating from Christmas, New Years, AND my birthday last week and I STILL lost 4 lbs - MFP really works - I think what's happening too is I am not starving myself but actually eating the amount of calories its telling me to eat for the intensity and duration of working out that I do. I'm a…

It's Working!!!
Hi all, I orginally posted this in the wrong area I think... I introduced myself about 2 weeks ago. I came here because I have been exercising and watching what I eat for months and finally weighed myself to see the exact same number I started I decided to record my calories so that I can see where I was going wrong...…

I'm going to toot my own horn now...
Because I deserve it! So today it's about 4:30 and I'm over my cals by about 800. Yeah, bad day right? So I decided to take a spin class (50 mins) followed by high intensity training (another 50 mins), it's like boot camp. I kicked butt. Burned 1260 cals. Now I'm under by 200 after dinner. Just needed to share! :bigsmile:…
