10 POUNDS GONE
I was so happy when I got up this moring and got on the scale and saw that I lost my total right now of 10 nasty pounds gone for good. I was so freaking happy I couldn't believe it. I have only been doing this for a total of 3 weeks right now and I am so shocked. I guess with all of the changes that I have made in myself…

People are starting to notice!
I went to vote on Tuesday and a neighbor always works the polling place. Last time I voted she didn't know who I was... this time she told me I looked great! She even told my mother that she has a beautiful daughter later in the day. Then tonight, I went out to a bar with friends I haven't seen in a while (by the way, I…

my pants are having a bad day
I bought a pair of 16 slacks two months ago because the 14's were just too snug. They fit pretty good, too good actually:cry: Anyway, I put them on this morning and I noticed I needed a belt. I have been wearing them all day. I feel slouchy in them, so I had to break the news to them and tell them this would be the last…

Shrinkage
I have gained a couple pounds since I started, but I've lost .75cm from my waist and 1cm from my hips. I wish there was a line to add my thigh measurments cause I'm sure those are shrinking and toning up due to my dancing as well. I'll gladly trade muscle for fat!

Europe...here I come!
I have decided to go to Europe this coming spring! I am so excited. I know this will be all the motivation I need to accomplish my goal. I refuse to feel like a fat American. I will have six months to loose 10-12lbs. I can do this. Just wanted to tell someone. Thanks MK

new pants :)
:tongue: Went shopping with Ezzie this weekend, and OMG, I'm down a couple of pants sizes!! :drinker: :happy: It looks like I finally broke my plateau and got to move my ticker yea! The ticker was stuck for about 8 weeks or so, so it's wonderful to see it move (even if it's ever so slowly) in the right direction again!…

I just have to say...
When I was at my heaviest 2 months ago, I couldn't even wrap my bath sheet round me, it was around 2-3 inches too small! Today, I had a shower after work, grabbed the same towel, and wrapped it - absent mindedly around my body, and guess what??? IT FITS - with an overlap all the way down !!!! I'm soooooo happy :bigsmile:…

Well I did it. Goal of 210 lbs has been acheived !!:drinker: I started 2008 at 230lbs and set my goal at 210. I joined MFP in July at 224.4 lbs. During the summer months and early fall my main form of excercise has been cycling but with fall here and shorter days I have not been able to keep that up but I have been able to…

Skinny?
This morning one of my co-workers told me if I get any skinnier, they wouldn't be able to see me. :happy: Made my day, especially since I actually gained back a couple pounds over the weekend. :grumble: Oh well, back to the exercising. Still it was great to get the compliment. :happy:

I finally Lost weight!!!
Oh my god, I'm so happy! For months all I've been doing is gaining weight , so to see that I've lost 10lbs is so exciting for me! It makes me want to work harder. It's hard to find the time to get in a "real" workout because I'm a single mom of a toddler, so it's pretty much impossible to find any me time. I'll keep on…
