in Introduce Yourself
Hello

This is the first time I'm posting here. I usually don't post on sites because no one usually wants to actually discuss losing weight. I find people on MFP actually discussing weight loss. So here I am.

I just turned 35 at the end of Nov and was completely grossed out with myself. I literally cried all day because I couldn't fit into a nice outfit to wear to dinner. The next day I started MFP at 162.4 at 5'3". I knew I wanted to be at my all time goal of 125-130 by my next birthday.

Fastforward almost 7 weeks and as if yesterday I was 151.4. That's 11 lbs in 7 weeks which also includes a 3 week stall. But I stuck it out and the scale is moving again.

This week I've started carlorie cycling and I'm aiming to exercise 3 days a week. I'm done having kids and I'm finally in the mind set to get my body back and at some point fit into those size 7 jeans again.

I'm very excited and really enjoy everyone's motivational posts. Please add me as a friend for motivation.

    Great job. My nadir was when I had to wear a suit for a nice function and I found that I had outgrown all my fat suits. Now I'm too slender to fit into my previous "average" suits :-) I'm so happy to hear about your success and especially your stick-to-it-iveness.

    A three week stall is a pretty demoralizing skid and to have it so prolonged, so early in your attempt . . . that's what makes most people give up.

    Unfortunately, I'm sorry to say, I think you're doomed to be a major success! You have no choice at this point but to keep heading in the direction you've gone, and hit your goals. I know it's a bummer but pretty soon you won't have a weight loss goal to shoot for. :happy:

    Sticking out plateaus is hard, and not doing it is what made me backslide, so congratulations! If you've gotten this far, you can make it to the end, I'm sure :)
