Good morning MFPals! Sorry for being MIA over the weekend. I went outside the city and my phone's connection was crappy! And yeah, I ate crappy too.
Although, I am actually surprised to see that I lost .6pounds from my last weight in, considering I consumed LOTS of sodium over the weekend and TOM is slowly creeping in. Hoping to see a better loss on Wednesday though. *fingers crossed*

Week two: I managed to move everyday! Yay me! This has motivated me to exercise and now I am ready to see more results! If they are anything like this week woot! woot! Shopping is in my future!
Ok so the weight wasn’t that great but I am stinkin amazed at the inches lost in a week! Wow!!! Makes me want to dance. No wonder the pants I just brought home last week (from layaway, they were too tight to even button up last month when I the layaway started) fit and were even loose! Amazing!!!

You all are so inspiring! Everyone is doing great! The sugar thing did not go as planned this week. I did much better than usual, but will have to continue working on it. I worked out only 5 times this week, life got in the way. This week can only get better! My weigh in started things off with a bang, 3.4 pounds!

Finally off that stinking plateau! And with the working out so much I truly believe I built a lot of muscle, so I think the scale lies in that way. haha. =]
I had a couple bad days, but majority I did okay! Joined a gym in this week, and LOVE it! It's an easy walk/drive from my work, so no excuses for me!
I've either been doing the zumba class, zumba on my XBOX Kinect, or 20 minutes on the treadmill and 30 on the circuit.
NSV!!! : Even at the beginning of this week, I can not run very long at all, Maybe 2 minutes out of the 20.
Yesterday I ran 1/2 of it! (well jogged)0 -

I haven't lost much weight despite working out about 4-5x/wk. but there's definately a reduction in size, all my pants are lose, and my belt is finally too big for me. yayyyy!0 -
Hi everyone!
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and great start to a new week. I have had a great Monday. Dallas Mavericks won their first NBA Championship last night (yeehaw!) and I had a wonderful weekend with family from out of town. I have not been totally in control of the kitchen/meals so I was curious about what my weight would be this morning. Thankfully my family and you guys have been wonderful and I am down another 2 pounds.
So excited to see other's results.

haha almost forgot to weigh in. This weekend didn't go as planned I spent so much time watching my other nutrients that i completely forgot my sodium. Before i knew it, i was at 2700 on saturday and 3400 on sunday *sigh* and was retaining water like crazy. Will do better next week....

THE RESULTS ARE IN!!!!
This week was an amazing week for weigh loss ladies! As a group, we lost 60lbs! WOW!
So proud of all of you! Last week challenge to watch our sugar was.... challenging, but you all pulled through! :happy:
Congratulations to jltodd99 who lost a whopping 5.4lbs! She is our biggest losers this week! :flowerforyou:
THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE!
We are all about ourselves this week. This is a week of support and encouragement.
I want all of us to give a little about ourselves this week. Start with:
- Your name
- Something you've learnt during your weigh loss journey. Could be something about yourself. food, exercise, anything...
- What do you still struggle with/find difficult as you lose weight.
- A recent NSV you've experienced.
- What motivates you to keep going.
You don't have to answer all of them, but this is to encourage you to remove you mind from the scale and the numbers and focus on 'YOU'
Also!
I bet you thought I forgot, but we will be watching our SODIUM intake this week. To challenge ourselves we will try to stay under our sodium level EVERYDAY. :noway:
If you find yourself going over, you should drink 2 MORE GLASSES OF WATER to make up for it. :drinker:
GOOD LUCK LADIES! LOOKING FORWARD TO ANOTHER AMAZING WEEK!0 -
I'll go first:
- Your name
Max, but my friends call me Maxy.
- Something you've learnt during your weigh loss journey. Could be something about yourself. food, exercise, anything...
I've learnt that i will not bulk up like Arnold Schwarzenegger if i lift weights. Weights are my friend....lol.
- What do you still struggle with/find difficult as you lose weight.
Eating. When i was younger and i needed to lose a few lbs, i would just starve myself for days until i was happy. The weight would come back and i would do it all over again. I formed such a bad habit that now I'm trying to lose weight the healthy way, its sometimes difficult to convince myself that eating the right foods actually supports weight loss.
- A recent NSV you've experienced.
I can finally fit into most of the clothes i wore freshman year of college before i started packing on the extra weight :bigsmile:
- What motivates you to keep going.
I HATE BEING FAT. Its that simple. Every moment i spent overweight at 240lbs i hated it. I was miserable and withdrawn from the world. Losing weight has helped me get some of my confidence back. I'm starting to like myself again, and that alone keeps me going each and every day.0 -
My name is Laura
I have learned and continue to learn more and more everyday about nutrition and fitness and how my body reacts to the things I put into it and what I do to it.
A couple of my nsv this last week were the loss of inches in my hips waist and bust 2 inches! and inch and a half on my thighs and 3/4 of an inch in my arms! I love that, my husband is finally noticing that I am losing weight (after 57 lbs).
I also was able to do 22 minutes on the elliptical Sunday. When I started I could not even do 5 minutes.
Another thing I have learned is that I am more motovated and could not do any of this without the support of my MFP Family. I am forever grateful for the kind words, inspiration and motovation each one of you have given me.
Thank you all for this and I hope you all have an amazing week!0 -
my name is heather.
i have learned that i can actually eat lots of food (as long as i stay within my bounderies) and lose weight.
i still find it difficult to get myself up sometimes to go workout.
a recent nsv i have had recently is that i can fit into some of my clothes from before i was pregnant.
what motivates me to keep going is that i want to fit in a bikini this summer and look HOT!!!!!
Hope everyone is doing good this week so far. We can do this!!!0 -
Hi there! My name is Jaq.
I have learned a lot about nutrition and weight loss, thanks to this website and the amazing people I met. I learned that I don't have to limit myself with food and I can eat what I love and still lose weight. I learned that I can exercise at least 5x/weekly and follow a routine. I learned that moderation is indeed the key.
Having said that though, that is one of my main challenge. I can eat "properly" at home where I can control what is served on the table. However, when I go out to a family gathering or in a restaurant, I lose control and over-eat. I am trying my best to learn how to listen to my body and stop when I am full. Not stuffed. Another struggle for me is relying too much on what the scale says. I am working on it as well.
NSVs. I have started from a loose size 18 and I am down to size 12. I have gone from a XXL to a L-M. I can finally go to stores that only offers small sizes and manage to fit in them. I am wearing dresses! My family, friends and colleagues admire what I do and I am loving it!
I started this journey when I decided to visit my home country after 8 years. See, I have always been the fat girl and I hate it. My self esteem is the lowest when I am around them friends. I want to show them who the real me is, the one with the self-confidence. I don't want to get laughed at again, especially not because I am fat. November 18, 2011. That is the day I will make their jaw drop after the seeing the newly improved self!
Thanks everyone for pushing me beyond my limit. We can definitely do this!!! Fighting!

- Your name
Well my name is Bethany most people call me Betha including myself it's a name from high school, or bethabee
- Something you've learnt during your weigh loss journey. Could be something about yourself. food, exercise, anything...
I've learned that I have to do this for myself. I may start with people who are willing to help me on my journey but it's me who will do the final watching of calories training and so forth. It's a constant battle but when I'm in the mood of health I look at those I love around me and don't want to have the same issues they face now later on down the road.
- What do you still struggle with/find difficult as you lose weight.
I crave sweets once in a while and to curb it or forget about it is the thing I struggle with most. At first it was the french fries now it's sweets... but I seem to do okay somedays and horrible others...
- A recent NSV you've experienced.
I bought a size 13 pants from a rummage sale and they were too big!!! I loved that feeling going from a tight 18 down to a 13 is a blessing that I've been trying to reach for years now.
- What motivates you to keep going.
Right now it's to fit into my goal jeans... in a few months it's to fit into my wedding dress (they ordered a size smaller because i was rocking and rolling the weight loss about 3 months ago)... my soon to be hubby's chickpeas. Kobey is autistic and I want to be there for him as long as a I can even after joe dies (whom is 20 years older than me)... also to be a healthy weight to concieve our own child... and just to be happy again0 -
- Your name
Bethany. =]
- Something you've learnt during your weigh loss journey. Could be something about yourself. food, exercise, anything...
That my excuse of asthma was always just a stupid excuse, and by working hard, i'm starting to overcome it!
- What do you still struggle with/find difficult as you lose weight.
Not being hungry all the time... work at taco bell and controlling how much I eat.
- A recent NSV you've experienced.
I bought size 15 pants about a month ago and they were TIGHT! They now fit! (waist is a LITTLE loose!)
- What motivates you to keep going.
My family.. I want to be able to keep up with my 2 year old..
I want to be hot for myself and my husband!0 -
Great job everyone! So motivating to hear about everyone's success!
Your name - Chris
Something you've learnt during your weigh loss journey. - I can do anything if I put my mind to it. Not succeeding or not even trying is just lazy on my part. And that I am the only one who can do it for me.
What do you still struggle with/find difficult as you lose weight - I resent counting calories. I feel like life is too short to be studying the fine print on food I like. I'm not a huge eater so I much prefer to focus on the exercise component.
A recent NSV you've experienced. - Last week I ran for 25mins straight for the 1st time in my lifetime. This week I purged my closet of oversized clothes and was able to fit in a size 6 jean I found lurking in the back. And yesterday, I played tag with my kids at the playground and was able to run around as long as them!
What motivates you to keep going - Being a healthy role model for my family. I want my kids to be proud of me. I want my husband to have a hot wife. I want to eventually be that old lady who goes everywhere on her bike, practices yoga in the park and wears out her grandchildren. I want to enjoy and experience life...not sit through it!0 -
you can do it.0
-
Your name - Marine
Something you've learnt during your weigh loss journey. - excuses are your worse enemy
What do you still struggle with/find difficult as you lose weight - the acceptation that this is really something you are doing for yourself. I know it but I have a harder time to put it in practice consistently.
A recent NSV you've experienced. - Being on top of the mountain with a 360 view of the Valley, breeze in my face, 104 degrees, nobody around - complete peace in my mind.
What motivates you to keep going - feeling good in my own skin!0 -
This morning, I officially lost my 50th pound, and then some! I am very happy!!! Thank you all for the motivation! I'll see you tomorrow! 0

Hi girls,
I have been out of touch for 2 days due to a medical issue, but I am finally at home and on MFP again. I think I missed logging my meals and checking in with you guys the most. Lol. Congrats on everyone's achievements last week, ya'll did great!!
Your name
Vicki
Something you've learned during your weigh loss journey. Could be something about yourself. food, exercise, anything...
That I am an emotional eater and food addict.
What do you still struggle with/find difficult as you lose weight.
I get overwhelmed when I think how much weight I need to lose. Short term, and non weight based, goals are very important to help me stay in 'today'.
A recent NSV you've experienced.
I have 3 pairs of work slacks that are so big they fall off. My mother (an excellent seamstress) will be re-sizing them tomorrow!
What motivates you to keep going.
My family...I want to be there to see my niece (no kids for me) graduate college, get married, have children...0 -
Just checking in and wanted to say that staying under sodium is easier that staying under in sugar...at least for me : )
I hope your all encouraged and doing well for yourself!0 -
vrags2 I hope everything is going well for you! :flowerforyou:0
-
Things are good! Feeling better. I have been struggling with some vitamin deficiencies that have caused other issues (stress fracture in my foot) and I had to slow down a bit for a procedure. Still doing well though. Everyone on MFP has given me such a sense of support that it makes this process easier.
Hope you have a great Friday!

I'm Julie and I've learned that if I add a 20 minute workout in the late afternoon or early evening to my regular workout schedule it has helped me to drop a bit more weight. I don't know if it's the extra workout, the time of day, the 30DS tape I'm using or if it's something else, but it all seems to help drop the weight.
This past week I've been hungry more than usual and I find I'm eating the wrong things this week. Trying to stay motivated and not give in to defeat/depression over this bit of backpedaling I seem to be doing. Besides that, my knee has not been cooperating so I tend to back off exercises that might make it hurt more. Gotta change that mindset NOW.
My recent NSV was fitting into my husband's band shirt and not the one I used to wear that was two full sizes larger.
My motivation is the rest of my life. I have five kids and the first three are out of the home. My fourth child will be in 10th grade this fall and I want to be able to do fun things with her during her high school years (nothing like being the FUN mom!) My fifth child will be in 5th grade this fall and he is so smart and so much fun that I truly enjoy spending time with him. Ultimate motivation is that I need to get in shape for ME - to make ME happy - and to feel good about ME!0
