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…

A Great Run
Ok ok I know this isn't a very big deal but for me it is! Today I ran my first 2 miles straight! I have never done that before in my life and I am so happy that I finally did it! Before I couldn't even run 200 meters without stopping. So this week I decided to start running with one of my friends and she really motivated…

Someone noticed
Okay, so yesterday at work I got my first "Hey, are you losing weight" from one of my co-workers. It took me by surprise a little bit, but what a great feeling I got, it made my day. So now she's my new best friend :) haha Thank you MFP and all you supporters out there, you are all great people. I owe that first compliment…

I am awesome
Okay here's my big success story for today. I went to the gas station. They had fresh Snickerdoodle cookies. You know the really good ones that are just chewy enough to be perfect and melt in your mouth, about 8 inches in diameter. I left with out getting one. Hey one small step for man kind, one giant step for Anna. Yeah,…

One Year MFP Anniversary
So, one year ago today, I joined MFP. I had just turned 50 years old and was at least 30 pounds overweight. As others have stated something inside just snapped and I said "enough". I started walking 30 minutes per day, 5 days per week and figured as long as I did even just that- it was better than what I had been doing,…

Finally punched through a plateau!!
Something shocking happened last night & I'm really stoked about it. I've worked my way up to running a 5 mile course a couple times a week, generally completing the run in 46 - 48 minutes. For a couple weeks now I've had a goal of running that course in less than 45 minutes (it has 3 monster hills), but NO LUCK. :sad:…

No so sickly skinny anymore
Hello everyone, This was really hard work for me and I was never able to stay motivated to see a fitness program all the way through until now which just makes victory all that much more sweet. I am very happy with what I have done and plan to go for more. http://eyesoffire.net/passionforfitnessinfo/small2.jpg…

Whew!!!!
Despite drinking way too much (and going way over on calories) and not eating so great and only working out once in the past week, I still LOST A POUND THIS WEEK. I was seriously dreading getting on the scale this morning and even considered not weighing in this week because of my bad weekend. I was so relieved to see that…

I finally did it!
I've gone to the gym for 2 days so far. I got a membership a few days ago, and I'm actually using it, and I feel so great and healthy. I like this feeling, it's motivating me to keep it up.

My 1st Before & After Pic
Hi everyone, I am pretty new here and have been "lurking" around reading your posts. I love how you all are so supportive of each other. It's fantastic! Tam Tastic's before & after pic (which is just amazing I might add) inspired me to make one of my own. The before pic is from last fall just before my "lifestyle change"…

I might aim to lose another 10 or so after I hit my first goal, but I'm going to wait til after the holidays to aim for that! THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!

Treadmill Triumph!!
I know this is a small insignificant amount to a lot of you fitness fanatics and jogging enthusiasts but coming from someone with a serious fear of treadmills and running in general, this is big stuff... I ran non-stop for 30 minutes today. A total distance of 3.3 miles. NON-STOP! I didn't hit the emergency button, I…
