Pleasant Surprise
I ran in the Route 66 Quarter Marathon yesterday morning, and my girlfriend texted me today and told me that I got 3rd in my age group and that I am listed under the "awards section"!! An award (no clue what it is!!) is going to be delivered to my home...I'm so pumped! I had no idea I did that well! Yay! :happy:

Addicted
Okay I knew I was hooked when I wanted to walk longer or more times a day, but yesterday we walked in the rain and today its a balmy 32 in southeastern Ohio and we walked again. We were pelted by what was more ice than snow. Help I'm addicted. But I gotta say I'm loving it.:wink:

Hello all, been six months since I last logged in here
The last weight I recorded then was 168.6 pounds, down from 189 six months before. Today I dragged out the scales for the first time in six months. 168.8. I have kept most of my new, healthy habits. Walking a bit less than before, and not eating as many veggies as I should, but I am maintaining. I even have the occasional…

I'm not there yet, but. . .
I am proud of where I have made it to! I feel more healthy in my body and mind than I ever have. As far as pure numbers go, I've gone from a size 42 to a size 34 in men's pants, and from an XL to a M shirt size. To me though, it's so much more than the numbers - I am actually starting to really feel /healthy/ and…

I weighed this a.m. and I was down to 133.4. I started out at 137 and after like a month I had barely lost 2.8 I think it was. But the scales now say 133.4…

Thank You MFP!
18 lbs in 12 weeks! I'm so excited. I plateaued again for a couple of weeks. But it's started coming off again. I'm learning not to get discouraged when I go a couple of weeks with no loss, or even a gain of a pound. I just tell myself the scale owes me and keep on keeping on. If I stick with the program it always seems to…

This morning...I'm proud of me :)
I looked at myself in the mirror today and I felt a difference. Just a little fitter and toned and I am loving it! I know I still have 40-50 pounds more to go to look hot but I can already feel a little change. Just wanted to share. KEEP WORKING HARD PEOPLE!! Exercise and a calorie control diet really works!!!! :drinker:

I technically would have reached it by now but I lowered my goal weight hehehe again...So far I have lost 28 pounds and about 4 inches off my waist..…

I'm back...
Hi - i've moved my post as i think i put it in the wrong section... It's been several months now since I have been able to get online to access MFP. I initially lost 26lbs from May - August but I have maintained since and even though i needed a bit of a break from maybe losing the weight to adjust and take care of other…

out to diner
So I'm having a girls night tonight and we're heading to applebees...I decided to hop on the website and plan my meal...now I know exactly what I can have for the rest of the day and still eat my yummy oriental chicken salad later tonight. Pre-planning is so helpful and makes me feel in control without giving anything up!

Finally had the guts....
To post my "before" picture. It should be pretty obvious which one it is. I am with my husband and two of my kids and I am wearing a red shirt. And go figure, I have a mouthful of food. Like many of you, I don't have many pics of me at my biggest, because I avoided the camera at all costs during that time. But my mom snuck…

Proud Of Myself
I've only been counting calories since Halloween and I've already lost 8 pounds. :bigsmile: I also bought a pedometer and I've been making sure that I get 10,000 steps in. I was only getting 8,000; I'm a first grade teacher. So, I'm proud of my 8 pound weight loss and getting 10,000 steps a day! GO ME!!!!!!!:bigsmile:…

I've lost a 2nd grader
We had a function at church today, and someone asked how much weight I've lost so far. When I said 72 pounds, a young girl who is in 2nd grade said "WOW! That's how much I weigh!" So, I've lost the equivalent of a 2nd grader! I tried to pick her up to just see what 72 pounds I've lost felt like, and I couldn't do it. It…

I was good today
I thought I got a 7inch ultra light turkey wrap from Mr. Pita today but when I got back to my desk my ruler confirmed that it was a 9 inch. I checked the site and the extra two inches sure added a lot of calories. So, I chopped off the extra and tossed it....better off to be a waste than to end up on MY waist. Another…

I avoided temptation …
So last night I made a wonderful cauliflower/yam soup … healthy and low in calories. I had my lunch for today packed with the soup and multigrain bread. I was on track and prepared. I FORGOT IT AT HOME!!! :grumble: Being a teacher I can’t run out for something healthy. And our canteen only has pizza pops and other…

I just wanted to let everyone know...
That this morning my scale moved! a lot!! I lost 2 lbs this week and I am going to share something with you guys that may be just silly but I really think it helped. I was getting into the habit of drinking a diet soda almost everyday. Well this week I laid off the soda and voila! So I am conducting an experiment- no soda…
