Just realized I'm at my Halfway point...
That's 18 pounds gone and never to return thanks to my new lifestyle! It's so awesome! :bigsmile: Just wanting to toot my own horn a little... I think the next 18 will take a while, as the weight loss has really slowed down, but I'm still averaging about a pound a week (with a break in there for my vacation and it took me…

Don't know how but I'll take it!
I had to go today to buy new jeans--with cooler weather here, I needed some pants and my "old me" jeans wouldn't stay up even with a belt anymore. My local 'no-name' department store didn't have a size 20 jeans that I liked, so I was about ready to leave when my DH said to try on an 18 and just see. And guess what--they…

i didn't do it!!!!!
so this is my second go at mfp. the first time i stopped because i wan't consistent with it. my biggest issue was that i was an emotional eater. I would do great if i could stay within my calories but the moment i went over even by a hundred and couldn't work it off, i would get upset and ruin everything by going on a huge…

The change in me.
Well before I started this new change in my life. I feel like I really wasn't me. I just was around. Not caring, sharing, and loving myself enough. I have been working out for 2 years next month. The first year and a few months I worked out and didn't watch what I ate. I would work out for 1 to 2 hours 5 x's a week. And…

The Best Motivation!
I bought a pair of pants about 7mo ago (right before I decided it was time to shed some lbs) but I am really bad about buying without trying things on... got them home... couldn't even get them on! I was so depressed but I thought... these will be my goal pants... I will strive to fit into these. I tried them on about 2mo…

Liquid Diet Day
I've found one thing that really helps me to get on track each week. On Sundays, I only consume liquids, such as Atkins Shakes for each meal, decaf green tea (hot or cold) with Splenda, fruit juice with no sugar added, even Kool-Aid made using Splenda. That seems to set me up for the week, and also helps clean out my…

I hate the scale, so I tried something new
The scale at my house never changes it seems, unless it budges up. I eat right, I exercise but that dang number just sits there and stares at me. It ruins my day when I get on it and there is no change, so today I fought the urge to get on it. Instead I cleaned out my closet and started trying on stuff from last fall--wow,…

Goal #3 20 year reunion ACCOMPLISHED!
Well, had the reunion this weekend. And it was a success! My friend even overheard someone say that I should get "most changed since high school"! And all my friends kept calling me "skinny *****" all night! And one person (who I didn't think would recognize me) said "yeah, I remember you, how'd you get so skinny? JEN!"…

My Journey- In Pics
Here is a photo journal of my journey. I actually started my weight loss journey in October, though the first picture was in April of 2007. The weight & measurements were the same from April to October. October was when I got my act together and really put an effort into my new lifestyle.

No Longer Obese
Woo Hoo! :bigsmile: I started this journey at the end of August fed up with my weight and my lack of effort to lose it. Something in my brain clicked and I decided to stop dieting, stop looking for a quick fix, and do this the right way for once and all. now here it is not even 2 months later and I've not only lost 16 lbs…

I'm back and a size 12! woohoo
I have been away in Texas for the past three weeks ( Working homeowners claims after Hurricane Ike). Anyway, all I can say is that I'm back and glad to be so. If I had to eat out one more day I was going to pull my hair out! The good news, I went shopping yesterday and bought jeans and dress pants in a size 12!!! Woo Hoo…

Well back on June 16th I hit 54 lbs lost and my next to the youngest granddaughter 5 yrs old weighed 54 lbs so I had her get on my back (piggy back) and took about 10 steps and was shocked at how hard it was. Helps put it in prospective! :tongue: Well this week I hit 73 lbs and my middle grandchild 9 yrs weighs 73 lbs and…

How do you do it?
okay, i'm struggling with sticking to anything! I love to walk, so I chose that to get started, but even at that, I don't walk everyday (maybe 2 x week) I have an elliptical machine, videos and everything I need to be set up, but I just can't get started. I like what someone said about a goal of one lb! Maybe that's what I…

So my boyfriend and I went hiking at Big Basin today and went to check out the water falls (small but nice) so beautiful!! Any who I struggled because I was so out of shape, my foot was hurting and those trails were not that easy. I wanted to give up but my boyfriend kept pushing me. It was such a great feeling I actually…

Just When I Thought I Fell Off...
TOOT!! TOOT!!! Warning, tooting my own horn here...LOL I weighed just a bit ago, after eating, dressed, and feeling like I had fallen off the wagon. I am at my original goal of 30 pounds lost today!!! Yesterday was my birthday and I didn't weigh yet, but I had hoped to lose 30 by my birthday and well...I'm going to call it…
