7 Pounds in 2 weeks
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:

BIG Step reached towards final goal!!
Can I get a "WOOHOO" here.. As of this morning, I now have lost 40 pounds. That's great but even better is that means I now have less than 100 pounds to lose! I now have 99 pounds to go to my goal!!

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…

Wedding Dress
I just put on my wedding dress to see what I would look like in it after losing 25 pounds and its huge on me. They had to take out some of the side so I could fit in it and it was still so tight that I could breath the right way. I've been married for 5 years in November. I'm thinking about maybe new 5 th year pic with me…

30 pounds gone!!!!!!!!!!
I stepped on the scale this morning and I have lost a total of 30 pounds. I can't believe that I have lost so much weight. I'm so excited. :tongue:

I must be "lady luck"
I know I posted a couple weeks ago about winning a fitness gift and work. Which I was ecstatic about it has been the greatest prize ever, perhaps until.....NOW!!!!!! I went to a county fair car cruise type thing today in a burb near where I live and I was mozzeying(I have no idea how to spell that) around the booths. I…

Very big goal reached.
Had an official weight in today at the Veteran’s hospital for my move program. I have finally broke the 300lb barrier with a weigh in of 297.3 which gives me a 53 lb loss.
-
I can't believe it!!
I stepped on the scale this morning only to find that I have lost 5 lbs this week!:drinker: Woo Hoo!!!! Only 12 lbs to go!:bigsmile:
-
40 miles! Oh Yeah!!!
Gotta crow here--did 40 mile ride today and did it in 3 hours and 30 minutes--just under 12 mph average! New distance record for me--1/2 century (50 miles) here I come! I'm even thinking now that I might try for a 100 mile charity ride in October instead of the 60 miler I had thought about but will have to see how things…

Greatest Shopping Day
Today was the greatest shopping day ever and I didn't buy a thing. I tried on a pair of jeans in (what used to be) the perfect size for me. The greatest thing happened... they didn't fit! I would say they were about 1 size too big. In 3 months I have lost 10lbs... (6 of which were before MFP) and one jean size. I can…

Drum roll please...
...I, Steph, the laziest, greediest student in the world is now officially a healthy weight for her height, according to the MFP BMI calculator. YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA :happy: :happy:

-
YAY!!! Another two pounds!!
Ok... so I guess I've been at it for two weeks so far and already lost 7 pounds:bigsmile: :drinker: . I think, rather I'm sure, the first 5 pounds had to be water weight because I used to consume unholy:devil: amounts of sodium but these second two better be due to the cut in cals! I'm not a big exerciser but I've stuck to…
-
wow.. we did it....
My husband and I have been riding our bikes for a few weeks now.. trying to work up to riding to Lantana Lodge.. its is about 3.5 miles out of town, right by the lake.. The big thing is THE HILLS... OMG... on the main road you have two very large hills.. It was very hard and I think I almost died...:sick: BUT WE DID IT....…
-
Whoo hoo!
I did my measurments yesterday (it's been 2 weeks since the first ones) And I've lost 12.5 inches all together! No pounds lost yet though, but it's the inches that I'm more concerned about anyway. :) My hard work is paying off! It was great to see that, because it will keep me motivated to keep going now. I can't wait to…
-
Wow!!!
Ok this might be nothing to some but it is a big one for me....... I actually went bathing suit shopping.......and fit into a size 8 two piece!! ( Granted it covers all..thanks to my kids..... but still!!) Very excited about that one and couldn't do it without MFP!!!:heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

I can do 2 songs
When I first started to exerfcise I could barely walk a mile. Now I am up to 10 miles once a week, 6 miles twice a week and 3 miles 3 times a week. Great accomplishment but the scale wasn't moving so much. Someone told me to add hills and try to jog. The hills were easy but I could only jog maybe 10 to 20 seconds every 10…

Good afternoon!
Well after my post this morning and with all my excitement my daughter and 2 grandkids went to breakfast & for the first time in at least 10+ years I was able to fit into a booth and I started to tear up :cry: ! I first felt panic and then shock:noway: ! Also I had bought a shirt about 5 yrs ago and it finally fit! This…

love it here!
I just have to say how much I love this board.:happy: Never have I kept with a healthy eating and exercise plan so well before. I am going on month 3 and I still love it. I had two weeks of staying the same weight, but I upped my walks each day and finally the following week I lost 3 pounds! So I am actually right back on…

Good morning!
Well I started my journey Jan 7th and it has been a wonderful experience. Advice you get from people is after you lose 10lb is go to the store and carry two 5lb bags of potatoes and walk a little bit to see how heavy it is. Then you hit 20lb and now pick up two 10lb bags of potatoes and walk a bit and oh my!! After 23…

Slowly getting better...
I know when I first started working out a year back, I did the elliptical first and 7 minutes hurt! But then I got to the point where I was doing an hour! Now I took it outside on the actual track and that was a challenge at first too, I could hardly jog even a mile Now I'm up to 3 miles and still able to walk the next…

I passed a test!
Tonight we went to our neighbourhood fair and I am so proud of myself!! We got all of these tickets for activities but they were also good for cotton candy and so forth. My two kids and I shared three sample size bags of popcorn and we shared two dinners of veggie burgers and salad w/ a side of chocolate milk (would never…

I made the whole family go for a walk with me last night! 12yr old complained .. couldn't help it when baby said... "i go byby Momma"... when he seen me putting my shoes on. So we strolled around town for an hour..…

Someone noticed!
I walked into work this morning and the receptionist mentioned something about my weight! It's the first comment outside of my family/girlfriend and I feel great. It definitely helps to keep me motivated. I've lost about 20 pounds in a month! My ticker is a little inaccurate because I thought I started out at 245 pounds,…
