I finished a half marathon
Yesterday I completed a half marathon. I have been steadily using MFP to keep my eating under control, and my Garmin 645/Music to train. The preparation, and the actual event all went really well. I want to keep making progress, but I also want to dial it down for a little while. Briefly 'dial down' not 'stop, and…

Made It to Goal Weight!
It took 22 weeks, and I’m here. Yes! I’m 49, 5’5”. Starting weight was 146, at the very top of my healthy BMI range. So while the situation wasn’t dire, all my clothes (U.S. size 10/medium) were very tight and I wasn’t happy with the way I looked or felt. My goal weight was 129. I started with 1200 calories per day, but…

I won my work's Biggest Loser Challenge again :D
Last year I started at 208 and got down to 183 and won super easily. Nobody even came close. I gained 5 lbs of that back because I wasn't really trying to maintain or lose anymore. Everybody wanted to do it again this year. I lost another 18 lbs. I'm now down to 170. The competition was A LOT closer this year but I still…

Never give up.
I was going through my brothers photos and found a photo of I think my heaviest. It was about this time I went to the doctor and looked into weight loss surgery. I was sure I couldn't do it myself. You have to follow a pre surgery diet and to my surprise I lost 56 pounds, surgery was on according to my doctor. According to…

60lbs down
I still have a long way to go, but this is 60lbs down with a TOTAL NSV. My last motorcycle jacket was a men's jacket. They tend to run small and short (to keep the armor where it's supposed to be and so you don't get caught up in it). My new one is a ladies size (and not a plus size, either). So...gratuitous picture…

Gone below 300 pounds.
Started 425 days ago on 375 pounds - this morning my weight dropped under the 300 pound marker. Thanks to MFP and all those supportive members. Weight loss - like weight gain - takes its time. Just listen to MFP, let them do the calculations, prepare a decent meal plan for yourself and take it day by day, meal by meal.…
