SHRINKAGE!
:tongue: I knew that would get at least SoupNazi's attention! :tongue: anyway--I do have shrinkage--just not "that kind." MY SCALE FINALLY MOVED! After 11 days of nada, zip, bumpkiss, it moved! I lost 8/10 of a pound overnight I figure either my scale heard my threats from yesterday or my body finally took my threats…

comparison time!
I'm posting two pictures. The first one was taken in March 2007 at the Grand Canyon and the second one was taken just a few days ago at a fair in Kentucky - July 2008. It's my sister and me. My sister has lost about 20 pounds since the first picture, and I have lost 45. Aren't we hot hot hot HOT???

Just a nice Milestone reached
OK, I reached 39 pounds to go. I was in the 40's for so long (even before MFP) that I feel this is a good accomplishement! Even though it is only 4 pounds since I started, it seems like more. And I finally got some pics back on the computer and posted some. No Pug as my main pic anymore, at least for now. SM

Lost 14.5 cm in four months!
I'M SO HAPPY!! I have lost 9cm on my hips in less than 4 months and 5.5cm off my waist in the same time!! Never would have thought I could lose that many cms in so short a time! Only lost 6 kilos though which is less good but still, better than nothing! :love:

Changed to low GI Diet
Hi everyone, I did change over to the lower GI from being on Atkins for a year and it is ok. I like it because i can have more grains, etc. and at 1200 calories I am having a hard time getting UP TO 1200 because I am used to not eating so many things. This week I am not having that problem after the 4th of July and family…

9 more lbs. Can I make it by September?
I start school back in Sept. and I'm going to be one of the new kids at school so I'd like to go to school being and feeling confident (I'm really self-concious), not conceited though. I want to be fit and so far I think I'm doing okay. I've been on this "diet" (lifestyle choice) for one week exactly and I've lost 2-3lbs.…

Big Workout!
So today I really didn't feel like working out and i kept coming up with excuses why not to. It’s too hot I’m too tired the usual but I actually did it! I got on the Elliptical and burned 700 calories! I was only going to work out for like 10 minutes but instead I stayed on for like 45 to 50 minutes it was great!!!

Goodbye to 9 pounds!
:happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: I know that it's probably mostly water weight, and I probably won't lose as rapidly next week, but I lost 9 pounds this week! I definitely did a happy dance this morning after stepping off the scale! (Does that count as exercise for the day? Ha!) I am amazed at how much easier it is…

Am I doing ok?
I've lost 2-3lbs in 6days by walking 2.5mph for one hour a day and eating portioned meals (1000 calories a day; sometimes going over) and trying not to drink coke though I drank one today. How's that? Anything I need to change or improve on? By the way, I'm 12 going to seventh grade (please, please, please don't say I'm…

How I lost 24 lbs
I just wanted to say I had lost about 24 pounds since I started this website. I believe what I did worked because of various reasons. It wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. I DO NOT exercise regularly I probably only did once or twice in that time period which was about 4 months or so. I made small changes,…

So close but no cigar....
I did a weigh in this morn and I figured an attainable goal was 125 by 25 and I was two and a half pounds away. I figured I should be happy with that. There is no way I am losing 2 and a half pounds in under 24 hours but that is close enough for government work!!!!!:drinker:

First month with MFP!
This Saturday will mark my first full month using MFP and I'm already down ten pounds! A much more accelerated weight loss than I was seeing with excercise and an improved but vague diet plan. I really can't believe that a free site (with a great support system) could work so well! The first week was a bit rough but its…
