It's a small one, but I'm still proud
I took my first walk outside today (a walk that didn't include going to class or getting errands done). I've been youtubing exercise videos since the weekend and I felt daring this morning. I even kept going when it started to rain.

It really is possible. Thank you MPF.
Hi everyone, it's been a while since I've posted, but I just wanted to tell everyone out there it is possible to lose the weight and keep it off. It's been just a little over a month and I've been able to keep everything off. If anything MFP has taught me how to make better food choices and it's really been a life change.…

wHOO HOO!!!
This morning I put on my old SIZE 12 JEANS!!! I know that's not a huge deal to some people, but to me it is enormous!!!! I have been in the 14's for a really flippin' long time and I was talking to my husband this morning about how I was so frustrated and I just said I was going to try them on and I did and they fit!!!!

MAJOR GOAL ACHIEVED!!
I'm in my prepregnancy uniform. Nomex (firefighting clothing) is great for many things, but no stretchy. It's like wearing duct tape if it's too small, and I end up looking like the stay-puft marshmallow man (or the michelin man). I just needed to share. Thank you all for your motivation and support.

It MUst Be The Sparkle KIlt ;p
OK, so last weekend I went camping with the guyz for a "Men's Weekend". This involved consuming massive amounts of alcohol, and really good, cooked outdoors food, yum. We also did a lot of Frisbee Golf, Horseshoes, and paddling. So it wasn't *all* consume calories. I did make it a point to try and burn a few more calories…

I put on my prom dress today...and it fit! I was very heavyset in high school, so my prom dress is a plus sized dress...I graduated in 2002, and a few years ago I tried on my prom dress in the hopes of wearing it to a military ball with my then husband...but it didn't fit...not even close...with the 25 pounds that I've…

Afraid of fast and/or fried foods
I used to be a fried food junkie and would stop for fast food at least once a week if not more for the convenience. After my healthy style life style I started about a month and half ago, I am afraid to eat it because of what it would do to my digestive system. This is a huge feat for me since it used to be such a regular…

Well this last weekend I guess I watched a little better than usual and even though I ate some things I shouldn't,…

New Motivation
:smile: I went today to get my hair cut and my hairdresser, which I haven't seen for about 8 weeks, says,"How much weight have you lost"? That was so encouraging...I know I'm losing weight but I just don't see it when I look in the mirror. It was nice for someone to actually notice that I've lost more weight. This is going…

I Survived Poker Night
I wanted my post subject to be "I survived poker night and all I got was this FANTASTIC body and increased motivation" but that wouldn't fit ;) I know this may seem silly, but last night was our August Poker night at our place and we had all of our friends over. Typically we have loads of potato chips and snacks available,…

My first milestone
Ohmigosh!!! I said that I would stay out of my fave clothing stores, but I just couldn't resist! I went into to Sears last night and just had to try some stuff on. Well guess what! I am a size 16 now! Can you believe it?! And a sz.16 was really comfortable. I haven't been in a size 16 since 2002! You have no idea what this…
