I am NOT Dieting...
I have found recently that a lot of people come up to me and ask me what diet I am on. When I tell them I am not on a diet, they smirk. Suuuuurre. I tell them I am eating a healthy balanced diet full of veggies and fruits and lean proteins. Exercise 3 x a week and lift weights 3 x a week. I lose 1 pound every 10 days. And…

Size 10!!!!
so I leaned over in church this morning... and my husband was snickering because my pretty loose size 14's were hanging low. (In church!! ACK!) On the way home we stopped at K-mart and I said well... let me just try on some cheap pants. I didn't want to spend any money on "good" clothes because I still have a lot of weight…

I got to buy myself new jeans today!!! :glasses: Usually I avoid shopping malls at all costs. I hate those clothing stores that don't have any plus sizes avalible. Well my jeans were literally falling off me so I decided to reward myself! I know I have a lot more weight to loose but it was so much fun going into that…

Very Super Excited!
Last week, I went to try on some pants, I figure what the heck, let's try 14... I bought two pairs! Then that evening I went to try on dresses with my mom... I had a size 18 prom dress so I was expecting 16's to fit.... Well I tried on about 5 size 14 dresses and they all fit! :) I'm so excited! I've only lost about 10 lbs…

Women's 5K Classic
Good Morning All, I just wanted to share that I have been pretty much sedentary for quite sometime now, and yesterday I participated in The Women's 5K Classic for Breast Cancer. A friend of mine asked me awhile back to walk in the Competitive 5K event with her and I said "sure!". I didn't train for the event at all - I…

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,…

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 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…
