Blood Pressure & Changing Form
Well, the biggest trigger for me to start this transition had been that at the end of my pregnancy with my son I developed hypertension. There is enough heart disease in my family history that that really worried me. Then, the high BP didn't go down after the pregnancy like it should have. Scary. It got down low enough…

it really isn't too good to be true
Two weeks and seven pounds later, I am in awe at how well this site really works. I tried my best to remain skeptical, and until today I was still a little worried that maybe my scale was tricking me, maybe I had just lost water weight from cutting back on my sodium, etc. etc. But the skinny jeans test does not lie.…

FINALLY!!!!
FINALLY have broken through a decade barrier in weight loss. It's taken AGES to get over this plateau - just about 2 months, really, playing with the same blasted pound or portion thereof. I did note what my change was: I take a 2 hour a day, four days a week intensive ballet class. 2 of those includes mega-conditioning…

When others start to notice your progress...
Seventeen pounds gone since May 28! Unfortunately I'm coming to the realization that shopping for new clothes will soon be necessary and I have...absolutely no money. :sad: Time to start hawking stuff on eBay! I've been finding satisfaction with MFP and my weight loss solely in following the discipline and seeing the…

Hello all, just wanted to share

I am not even sure if my weight…

Couldn't believe I could do it
At 24Hour Fitness today I held a plank position or prone-iso abs position for two whole minutes with my trainer. I was shaking like a leaf, my muscles were soooo spent. When I first started back in December with my first trainer, I could hardly do 15 seconds! This latest one says that he's never trained a woman who could…

Back on track....
I am so excited right now! Since May may food budget has been drastically reduced due to other financial issues so I wasn't spending a lot on healthy items. Well, as of yesterday, I am now able to go and buy all the healthy foods that I want! So this morning I began logging my food again~yea!!! Also, along with my training…

25 Lbs down
Okay this is my second post so here it goes. I am a police officer, who got out of the fitness and healthy eating lifestyle. I grew to a whopping 220 Lbs. One day somebody called me a "fat cop". It cut pretty deep, and from that very second I decided I ws going to do something about it. I started by walking 1 mile everyday…

Six Pounds Down!!!!
YAY! I'm so happy! I feel like I'm going to make it! I've lost 6 pounds (about 2lbs per week) and I still have a month and a half left to lose the other six and keep it off!!!! I know it's still a long way to go but I feel motivated and acheived! I can't believe I'm at my half-point! It would depress me if I gained it back…

Two weeks later...
It has been 2 weeks since I started down the path to losing weight and feeling better. As of this morning, I have lost 10 lbs thanks to a 1200 cal diet and exercise. I think thats a pretty good start! :happy:

At the doctors today it was great!
OK, I have been having to go to the doctors almost every week to every 3 weeks minimum for almost 2 years now. Sometimes I would go a few times in a week and every time I went I slowly saw my weight go up and up from 130 up to as high as 178. Between Stairoids and not being able to run or really work out, I just gave up…

WAHOO! I'm "overweight"!!!
Is this something to celebrate?? TODAY it is! I've officially bumped my BMI out of the "obese" range and into the "overweight" range! MAN that feels good. And I'm feeling confident that I've broken my plateau. Only 2 or 3 more lbs before I hit my first BIG goal - breaking the 200lb mark. Hopefully within the next 2 weeks I…

On My Way!
So today was my first official weigh in...down three pounds in a week! I'm pretty stoked about that! :bigsmile: My first week is done and I'm feeling really good about myself. I am actually looking forward to my workouts instead of trying to come up with excuses to not do them!

Bad Mood broken!
ALERT THE MEDIA! My bad mood is officially broken--even though I haven't lost any in the last 3 days--even though I've only lost 8/10 of a pound in 2 weeks--I'm a dancing fool today! I went to my doc for the first visit face-to-face since I've been on MFP, and she was thrilled to death! She said I'm am doing FANTASTIC!…

Love clothes shopping now!!!!
Ok, last night went out shopping for a new bathing suit and few bras. Came home with three new bras, two bathing suits (one a bikini) and more. I got two skorts, here's the best part- size 10!!!:happy: :happy: I did the happy dance in the dressing room. Last year this time I was in a size 20 and did not enjoy shopping at…

I am getting a lot less hungry
I am 8 lbs down (yea) and I have to honestly admit I havent worked to hard for it. It seems like it should have been a lot harder than it was. I got 20 more to go, but finally my clothes are starting to feel looser. It probably sounds crazy but, am I the only one that doesnt believe the scale when you see it go down? Like…

My encouragement for the week...
This week has been one of the worst weeks at work for me... and by the end of the day yesterday I was really upset and just tired. I went grocery shopping with my mom to pick up a few things... got home and went to exercise and just wasn't feeling it at all. But I stepped on the scale today just to see my progress (i…
