Someone else noticed!
Finally someone else noticed I've lost weight--I was just thinking yesterday that I've lost almost 20% of my original body weight! And yet only 1 person has noticed. But then this morning, we had a church breakfast and a couple people said "you looking really different-have you lost weight?" I was so happy! When I told how…

It has been one month since I started my diet and I have los
...Over twenty pounds! I started out a slight bit over 250lbs (I am a 5'9" male) and weighed 229.8 this morning. I have also lost nearly 4" off my waist and my face looks noticably thinner. My goal is to be 215 by the time I go back to school (August 18th) and under 200 by December. My goal weight is 160lbs.

shed a tear in spin class today.....for good reasons
Never in my life have I ever felt so powerful. I have put in 6 very strenuous workouts this week, eaten my calories (except for spluring last night by about 500), and done this thing to a tee. During spin class today (75 mins) I realized that never in my life have I ever felt a greater sense of accomplishment with…

Forced myself to go for a jog/ walk
I usually like to just jog, but this morning I wasn't feeling like it, my body seemed a little soar and swollen. I did a lot yesturday including a 4 mile jog. So at 5 AM this morning I told my daughter that I wasn't going, but then I turned back around and told her I would give it a try. We jogged a little, but in total we…

Good Morning everyone... I did it.. happy to say I hit the 5 pound mark.. !! Very excited but also will be finding the next 5 pound goal much more of a challenge. In the past when I have tried weight loss, those first 5 pounds always seem to come off ..except I must admit, it took me 6 weeks last time to lost 5 pounds, and…

For the first time I have 434 calories left over. I have no idea how... feel like I ate a lot, and I did my normal workot. I even double checked to make sure I logged everything. So, I must not be as hungry or something YEA!!!:smile:

My first personal victory
Every Friday we have group of friends over. Everybody brings something to the table. We eat, we talk, they talk- I eat... They leave, I still eat something... Today I've decided to be strong: about an hour before gests arrival, I ate a can of "progresso bean soup" (300 cal). I was so stuffed when everybody came, that I was…

Ever have one of the moments.....
....where you just look in the mirror and think, "damn I look good"! I just experienced that and it was quite a good feeling. I've only lost 12 pounds so far (though I am on track with a pound a week) but it has really made a difference. It also helps that I just got an airbrush tan, and I always think a tan makes you look…

what a nice feeling!
So, as of this morning I've lost 9lbs since 16 days ago when I began. Today we went for a picnic date with some friends and their kiddos and the two friends who were there when I showed up made me feel so great! I got off my bike and was getting my children out of the trailer and they started talking about how great I look…

Well, what do you know..
Hard work really does pay off! Hahaha. So after my 12 day vacation to Cali and gaining back 1 lb which put me at 124, I lost the lb! On my frame its really annoying because if I get to about 130 (my ugly number) and then lose say 5 lbs..no one really notices. But, if I lose 2 more lbs..it never ceases to fail..at 123…

Yay me!!
I've been on this site for one month now and I can say that over the past 15 years of trying to become the 'skinny me' that's inside, I have never found something that has helped me SO much!! I've lost 18 pounds and now a pair of pants that I bought but never wore because they were too small, are almost too big!! I really…

Okay, so this may not be a HUGE accomplishment, but my BMI is officially under 40!!!!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: It's 39.8! I started at 44.0, and now it's 39.8! All this in 2 1/2 months!!! Yes, it's still in the obesity spectrum, but slowly but surely, it's coming out of it. I can't wait until I'm just…

10 pounds lighter!
I just had to let everyone know that I am officially 10 pounds lighter than I was a month ago! :noway: For me, I've wanted to focus more on my figure rather than the scale, but this is an achievement I can't deny! I also took measurements today, and I've lost 1 inch in my waist and 1 in in my hips. Not as much as I'd like,…

OH MY GRACIOUS!!!!!
Today on my way home, I figured I am gonna stop at the mall and walk around a lil. So I wonder into Steve and Barry's and they have that line from SJP(sarah jessica parker) called "Bitten". I was there not TOO long ago with my boyfriend basically whining about how those would "never fit" but I was curious. I grabbed up a…

Is losing 7 pounds in 2 weeks unhealthy?

Getting faster
I beat my goal on this morning's walk. I jogged half of my 2.2 mile route and finished in 27 minutes. That may not sound like much to some people, but I am 47 and 30+ pound overweight. It felt so good to reach that number (about 12.5 minute mile). Yeah!:bigsmile:
-
holy guacamole!
I haven't seen much change on the scale for the last couple of weeks, so I decided to take measurements. I don't really have a set measuring day, but it usually happens once a month or so. 27 INCHES OFF MY BODY!!! Including 10 off of my thighs (5'' each) and 7 off of my waist!!! More than 2 feet of surface area is gone!!!…

Just 16lbs to go!
Then I am half way there!! I thought it was more like 20lbs but 16 is so much more motivating! 16lbs more and I will be half way! I can do it! :bigsmile:

Lina's in progress success story!
The day I met my husband was probably the best I have ever looked. I was 138 pounds, working out with a personal trainer, felt so beautiful and confident. You see, I have always struggled with my weight. I have never been obese or anything, but I was surely never skinny. In fact, I always had weight to lose. So for me to…

Down 4 sizes!
After I had my children I was size 18. I bought myself some clothes just last week i tried everything on in my usual sizes, 18 for bottoms and 1X for shirts. They were too big! FOR ONCE!! Usually I have to get a bigger size! When the lady came by I asked her for a size smaller which is 16 and just X. To my surprise they…
