My First 10 LBS.
I have finally been able to break the 227 plateau. I have lost 13 lbs in 4 weeks. I got to 228 rather quickly and I stayed there for a while. I changed up my cardio where I am only doing 3 days per week at 30 min and my weight continued to drop. It is ironic that I dropped the weight because prior to the last big drop, I…

For those who are just beginning...
Well, I've been on MFP for 5 months now. We're having a family emergency today so it's a rough one and I decided I'd write a post on here to help focus on some of the amazing things I've done. (My Father-in-law had a massive heart attack today and is critical. This really hammers home the value of HEALTH.) 5 months ago I…

Back into it!
So I finally updated my Ticker to reflect what I actually weighed when I started MFP; not what I weighed at my first weigh-in (only 5 lbs more, but still--the visual progress on the Ticker is powerful!). That, plus what I've lost this week, is really building back my belief that maybe...just maybe...I will someday see the…

hanging on to old clothes
My dad has always gotten amusement when women hang on to old clothes like their "skinny jeans" for when they fit into them again. He doesn't understand having a lot of clothes anyway, much less a closet full that you cannot wear anymore and seemingly will never wear again. Well I just feel the need to tell him today that…

Buying smaller sizes
When I went to the track to see the NASCAR race last weekend, I of course had to buy a shirt as a souvenir. I picked a Tony Stewart #20 hoodie, and I bought a large because that's the size I wear in most jackets and shirts. Well, it's a mile too big on me! But I love having that problem:bigsmile: and I bought a brand new…

Better than I thought
I lost 3 more lbs. this past month. I didn't expect it because I fell off the wagon quite a bit but always jumped back on. I sure am thrilled to see it though. I also just signed up at the gym and will be working out A LOT more now.
