edited September 21 in Success Stories
I have had MFP for a while on my iPhone. I casually used it to log food in my phone when I was on my latest weight loss kick but never lasted too long and I NEVER got into the website. Now that I utilize the site via phone and web, I LOVE IT.

I have always had the notion that the "Gym Sucks" even though I have had a membership with my Hubby for years and years. Well finally I said to myself put up or shut up about the thickness. I then deceided to stop being lazy and do what needs to be done. That means putting in some work on the body as well as feeding it better.

I finally started working hard at the begining of August. Started going to the gym 3 to 4 days a week and tracking my eating ( I do still cheat a little but not too bad). I play on an adult kickball league on Wednesday evenings. I also am starting another bowling league this September. I volunteered myself for a 5k run in October that I am trying to prepare for (I didn't mention that I hate to run too huh, lol). I am picking up an active lifestyle with some things that I like to do and others that I just have to suck up in the name of fitness.

This Tuesday is my 11year Anniversay so this weekend will be a free weekend for me and the hubby, in moderation of course but I will be back on the grind starting Wednesday and the pics below have me motivated enough to follow through. Wish me luck :)

Here are a few pics to show a small progess of sucking it up and doing what needs to be done (and it really wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, I just like to whine a little every now and again.) I love the fact that I am getting toned and that is showing much more progress visually than the scale is showing me whooooo hoooooo. I am excited.


PS: I hope I figured out how to load the pics right, lol.

    Fantastic! I wouldn't think 9 lbs would make that much of an impact, you must have lost some inches. You look great!

    I forgot to weigh myself in the beginning of August, I had to go by what was already logged in from when I wasn't serious yet. And then guess. I adjusted numbers, so I really don't have a true count of what I have lost. But my jeans are giving me saggy butt syndrome and as bad as it sound, I am loving that. For now I am not putting too much stock in the number lost as in the way I am looking.

    Yeah, the scale can lie especially if you are working out. Muscle weighs more then fat! You are doing GREAT! There is a real difference. I just started this week and stories like yours give me the encouragement to keep at it!

    HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

    wow well done you are looking great. you can tell in your face as well. I have lost 7lbs and i can notice a lot more than the scales show - i think with exercising a lot the scales hold weight which is now muscle and so we look slimmer as the inches are coming off - which is all that matters. I have checked inches and they are melting away far quicker than the weight loss is showing.

    You look great and v healthy - keep it up :)
