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…

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,…

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…

May I please have your attention...
Ahem... As of today, I, Mary (name withheld), can wrap a bath towel around herself (not a bath sheet, a bath towel), and NOT flash all her naughty bits to everyone in the house. It's been a long time coming, but it sure feels good. I think I'll wear just a towel all day. Maybe even to the store. Thank you. :bigsmile:…

....and still losing!
Hi everyone! I have to say I am in aw and kind of floating at this moment. I am still on a high from this weekend and to top it all off I weighed myself this morning and lost another 2.6 pounds. Which brings me to a grand total of 20 pounds since I started on MFP in mid Jan. I went from a size 10-12 to a size 6-8 depending…
-
FINALY...!!!!!
I was getting down in the dumps about not losing. But I tend to expect miracles and as many on here want to start seeing results ASAP. I was dedicated to the diet this week. I didn't excercise, I'm trying to slowly work my way in as to not overwhelm myself. I LOST 4 LBS! So now I just pray I lose a pound a week as a…
-
Wow!...I'm kinda in shock.
I gotta say first that I love MFP. My husband is always bugging me because I can't eat without running to my computer to input my calories. It's so accessible and definitely has made me responsible about what I put in my mouth. I reached my first goal of losing 11 lbs and reaching my pre-pregnancy weight, about 5 weeks ago…

Pool open today
Today the city pools opened and I was ALL EXCITED!!! It broke me out of my blah blah blah sad slump(also you guys all helped). But round lunchtime it started POURING and STORMING!!!! I was saddened by that but it cleared up quickly leaving for intense humidity so I knew I needed to hit the pool. I also never have a gym day…

What a long, strange trip it's been...
My battle with the bulge has been on since I hit puberty :blushing: many, many, oh so many years ago. In the 1st grade, I was diagnosed with a duodenal (sp) ulcer and put on a restrictive diet...(no grease, spice, limited dairy)...the family doctor referred to me as the "string bean" during these years. Unfortunately, once…

My First Pound
OMG! I lost my first pound!! I am so excited. I guess its kind of dorky to be ranting over 1 measly pound, but whatever...it feels glorious - and I know my fellow MFPers can understand the sensation. :happy: :smooched: :drinker: :wink: :laugh: :smile: :glasses: :blushing: :flowerforyou: Today is a great day!!!

Day at the beach
Yesterday my boyfriend and I drove 2 hours to spend a day at the beach. It was wonderful and beautiful. The best part...I was wearing size 12 Old Navy shorts (which seem to be smaller than other stores size 12) and a strapless shirt! No fat was hanging out and I was totally comfortable. It's been a long time since I've…
