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 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…

-
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…

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...

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…

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…

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…

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,…

Two days into my new resolution...and willpower building mus
Temptation reared its ugly head yet again today. Since my 7-year-old had a playdate, my six year old son decided we were long overdue for a "date". He even told my husband this morning while we were in the car to make sure we went home so my husband could drop himself off, because it was just "Mommy and me". So off to the…

Do you eat your earned food calories?
I'm new here (2nd week) and did not lose last week...actually gained a pound. I'm a little depressed about the gain as I thought I really did pretty good last week. However, I know I didn't drink enough water...would that have made such a big difference? My goal is 1200 calories a day, but of course when I exercise it adds…

"Fat Pants"
So last night I finally went though my closet. This isn't the first time I went though and flug stuff, but it was great to finally get rid of the "fat pants". I've been waiting to get rid of a certain pair of pants that I can remember purchasing that were a little sung in the waist. Now, they are obviously way to big. Even…

Is that willpower peaking out from under there?
Okay I have to write at this late hour because I feel like I overcame a small milestone today. Did I mention I was starting the South Beach diet today…AGAIN. Well, after our bible study meeting that we have on Mondays, we usually go to Friendly’s and get ice cream and a small dinner with the kids. Tonight we even went with…
