I introduced my husband to MFP and guess who did the best?
HE DID! Ugh! He lost 25 pounds. Me? 1 pound. Guess who prepared all the healthy foods? Wiped out the entire kitchen and replenished with healthy foods? ME! I'm happy for him.

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,…

My goal is 4350 calories burned per week, i have not only reached but passed that today and I have two days of the week left to burn burn burn......... Just had to share, feeling good about that, it's been a little while since I have even come close! :wink:

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…

instead of a fatty bbq
I am so proud of myself this 4th of July!! Instead of going to a bbq and eating a cheeseburgers, hot dogs, chips, and dip, I went with my workout pal to the gym and worked my butt off - literally. We did 45 min. on the elliptical and 15 min. on the stairmaster, and worked on our arms strength training. I also went to a…

Ran my first 1/2 marathon!!!
One of my fitness goals was to motivate myself to exercise. So I went crazy and decided to enter a 1/2 marathon. I finished it, running most of time the first 8 miles and then walking/running the other 5 miles. It was fantastic!! I ran it in Anchorage Alaska! The weather was perfect for running....cold. Anyway..if I can do…

Really wanted to snack tonight!
Wanted to snack but I did great, I thought about it long and hard. I even grabbed a hand full of pretzel sticks and started to snack on them when I looked at the calories and put them back. I ate 2. But then I thought about it and grabbed myself a wonderful tomato and sliced it up and mmmmm, it hit the spot. It even had a…

Week 1 check in....down 2.2 pounds
ok..I am amazed. I am eating more than I use to eat. Who would have thunk 1200 calories plus exercise calories would be the answer. I am so tickled that the scale is finally going down. I have not been the bottom side of 155 in FOREVER!! ok..time to go eat again..LOL :glasses:
-
Yeah, on day 5 or 6 and fianlly lost that 2 pound!
I was waiting for it to show on the scale, it toyed with me. Some mornings it would say I was less but then I like to make double sure and even triple sure and then it would come back. Officially this morning after 4 weigh ins in over a 2 hour time, it stayed away and with a .2 clearance! I know some people say you…

fourth day at MFP
So, I'm officially on day four here and I must say that I love it! I don't know if it's just a mind trick, but since I've been cutting calories and eating smaller meals more often, I've noticed a difference in just how full I feel... last night I went out to eat and I had just a turkey club sandwich (no mayo, no french…

The month of June!
Okay, so I started this whole "better life" thing officially on June 1, 2008. I've wrote down everything & just a few minutes ago I compared my lifestyle now, to my lifestyle 30+ days ago. When I was in school, I'd eat out about 4-5 times a week (including weekends) .. So that's approximately 16-20 times eating out a…
