Getting back on the wagon! I fell off early in the year when the app glitched & lost my 400+ day streak, and gained some weight back. Recommitted to my goal, started exercising again & logging again.

It's been such crap re: scale & inches the past few months and I have no one to blame but myself. In my effort to get back on the wagon, I went for several long walks with various dogs this weekend and went back to being strict with logging every bit. Yesterday, I busted out my bike and went for a ride for the first time…

Oddly enough, Key (the dog in my avatar) is the key to keeping me going. We do sheepdog trials together, and since she needs to be in peak physical shape to do it, why shouldn't I be trying to be in the same shape as her? Plus it was really hard & uncomfortable physically to be running around the fields when I was 222+lbs.…

So very much this! I slept on average 4-5 hours a night in February (and not in one block), and my desire for carbs & sweets went through the roof. Instead of baking a treat once or maybe twice a week, it was pretty much each day. I admit, baking for me is a stress relief, but instead of gifting away all or almost all, I…

I haven't had a great Feb/Mar, not eating the best choices, litle sleep, not enough exercise and no gym time due to new puppy, then sick old old and then I got sick. I'm ticked that I've lost a lot of endurance and toning. Plus side to all of this: I maintained weight through out it, up and down a few pounds which actually…

Huh, I've lost an Irish Setter and now I'm working towards losing a gold brick!

I'm finally staying under oneunderland! I hit it before but went right back over it. This week I've managed to stay under it. Come on home stretch, I can do it!

Getting back on the wagon is my current goal. This past month hasn't been all that great with no real weight loss but then no real weight gain either so I have to view that as a positive. I have learned that improper sleep for me leads to improper food choices and a craving for sweets. Thankfully puppy is now sleeping…

I was warned but I hated myself in pictures so never took any at my heaviest. While I'm still not enamored of being photographed, I'm not as freak out about being in them. I even posted a selfie for the first time. Long story short: I really wish I had taken before photos and more in between photos to really see what I've…

I finally caved and bought new jeans yesterday. The size 13/14 ones were becoming ridiculously too big and even though I still have a bum, it isn't doing as well as a speed bump to keep my pants from their rapid downward slump to my ankles. I figure at best I'd be around a size 10 but they were too big! I haven't worn a…

It seems silly, but yesterday for the first time I jogged in my neighbourhood in the day light when people could & did see me! I haven't been comfortable with the idea that people could see all my jiggly bits but my dog really needed to run yesterday and I've missed the gym the past 2 weeks because of the new puppy so off…

I'm almost at my original goal of 150 lbs (0.8lbs to go!). Once there I want to lose another 8 lbs to bring me to 142 lbs, a healthy weight for my height & shape and an even 80 lbs weight from my starting weight. It'll make it easier for my bum knee to carry me around & let me run around to further train my middle dog once…

Is this for real? I swear this past week I could have easily eaten half the planet, I've been so hungry! So many huge salads/stir fries/etc to keep within my calorie allowance but still being able to eat ALL THE THINGS!

Just one more measly pound to be down 70 lbs and into the homestretch of the last 10 lbs to go.

Every couple of weeks I get a treat lunch at the local Greek restaurant. They're really good at giving me lots of salad with only a little rice for my meal. Last week, the woman who serves the food noticed my weight loss & complimented me on it and asked how I did it. I told her about MFP, and now she's going to look into…

To finally get into a healthy BMI, I just hovering outside of it by a point in the overweight category. Also to get 150 lbs. 6 more to go, 6 more to go. I need to break this plateau.

To start losing some weight again! December only had a weight loss of 1.8lbs.

Oh crud. I wrote since May 2015, I meant May 2016.

@nehaad88 61lbs so far. Another 15-20 lbs more to go

I would credit it with being a part of my weight loss. 1. Since May of 2015. Twice a week for 50 minutes. 2. It's at what started as a gym for obese women, which has since grown to be very inclusive of everyone regardless of gender, size, age or physical ability. They tailor each exercise class to have different levels of…

My boss says that to me everyday. I'm finding it really annoying as I'm still working at losing about 20 lbs more. I'm back to the weight I was when I started working for her, but I'm still not at the healthiest weight for my height/body shape. My recent NSV: getting back to the gym/exercising this week, I've missed it and…

Yes, there is one for each additional 5k steps a day up to 100k steps in one day http://www.developgoodhabits.com/fitbit-badge-list/

My mini-goal is to get to 160lbs by the end of the year. It's completely do-able as long as I keep doing the same logging & exercising.
