Running my first 5k
I ran my first 5k this weekend. I couldn't have done it without my 12 yr old daughter "Baby Girl". See, she has been my inspiration for my weight loss. 2 years ago "Baby Girl" was diagnosed with a very rare bone cancer in her pelvis. They removed the golf ball sized tumor and half of the right side of her pelvis bone. No…

A teeny meeny step
My first success, though a small one. I had tried earlier to switch to green tea, instead of coffee. Read somewhere that 4-5 cups a day will keep your metabolism high. I crave coffee at work. Once, just once to kick my brain to start. Since my protein intake was real low(vegetarian and no eggs), I decided to take a protein…

U.S. JUNIOR RYDER CUP
Pardon a wee bit of braggin' on my little girl-- she was part of the recent U.S. Junior Ryder Cup team that competed in Bowling Green, Kentucky. She and her team beat the European Junior team 22-2, a margin of victory that "they" say will never be realized again. PGA officials told us our American team became a part of…

I made it through my first week!
It is already getting easier. I still feel hungry sometimes, but the cravings aren't as bad, and today at work I said no thank you to cake, and I didnt even feel like I was missing out on much. I know in a week or so the weight loss will slow down to 1-2 lbs each week (which is fine!) but I did quite enjoy losing 9 pounds…

Just a little thing
I started this website 1 1/2 months ago. That is when I started working out. It may be a little longer. Anyway I bought a HR monitor and when I first started working out like walking for an extended period of time and I would try and jog just a little my HR would be up close to 90%. Now when I do that it is about 80% or…

Woohoo!!
I am no longer in the "overweight" range! My BMI is exactly 25. :drinker: My goal weight is 145, which would put me at a 22.5 BMI, according to MFP. Sounds good enough for me!

How you fight the cravings??
I find myself being tempted all the time. I've even caught myself going "Oh I can start over again the next day. The only problem is that day never comes!! I do so good for a week or so, then it comes out of nowhere. Anyone have any tricks?? I am soooooo frustrated.

OK, Half Way Reached.
I joined MFP after already loosing a few pounds, so while my current ticker doesn't show it as half, I am actually at the half way mark. :drinker: :drinker: My goal to loose 50 is now to loose 25. Yeah.:bigsmile: At my heaviest I was 180 and I am now at 155 in the morning. I had my husband today pull down a bunch of my…

Chunky Monkey
So my DH has been upset this week. He finally yelled at me Wed for not having any 'food' in the house. I pointed out there is plenty of food. His response was I NEED MEAT! :explode: I really LOL :laugh: :laugh: then told him I am the one doing all the cooking, shopping and dishes, so I get to choose the food. I pointed out…
