I graduated in 1990 at 202. I got all the way up to 320 by age 31, but I weigh less now than I did senior year (about 20-lb difference).
-
Treating myself to a designer bag that I have had my eye on for years. I didn't get it the first time I made goal because I started regaining almost immediately.

The good -- I was able to maintain my weight within a few pounds but have more weight to lose (see below) Became certfied to teach Turbo Kick Taught my first Zumba class Kept up an exercise routine most days of the week I joined MFP -- made new friends and rekindled with old friends One relative and one good friend…

Had a friend mention that she is combining her allotment for the 31st and the 1st so she doesn't have to watch the clock so carefully. Personally, I plan to weigh in on New Year's Day so I will be buckling down from here on out.

Awesome job! Last summer I cut my hair short so I wouldn't have the issues with sweating. This year I go to the gym in the mornings in my hard rollers or I just deal. Please add me if you like! Also, I belong to a FB group called Black Women Do Workout.

I am doing this also, however cumbersome, because I have been on WW for more than six years and have kept most of the weight off. I am enjoying MFP because when I did only WW I had no idea what my daily intake was/should be.

Absolutely. My DH was at his heaviest before we married -- my organization used to have live entertainment at its annual fundraiser and for a couple of years the entertainment (a woman) flirted with him shamelessly. "Hey, big daddy ..." :mad:
-
I haven't seen mine in almost seven years and I was at the very beginning of my journey. He probably wouldn't recognize me now. Good thing I know where he lives ... :devil:
-
Yes, usually two glasses a day -- although I sometimes replace the morning serving with fat-free yogurt.
-
My hair is relaxed too but am considering going natural. My last touch-up was on Sunday and I went to the gym several times this week (AM) in my scarf and hard rollers. I have no shame, LOL!

This was one of my favorites -- a KFC Original Recipe four piece meal: Wing, 140 Breast, 320 Drumstick, 120 Thigh, 220 Biscuit, 180 Mashed Potatoes with Gravy, 130 Baked Beans, 200 Total calories for one meal (not including a drink, which was usually Pepsi back in the day): 1,310, only 90 calories less than my current…

"I'm big-boned." My dad is still trying to sell me this bill of goods. :cry:

While I didn't lose as much weight as I wanted to this year, I have continued to do the right thing most of the time, and I am still losing. I have made new friends here at MFP and rebonded with old ones. I became licensed to teach Turbo Kick and taught my first Zumba class. I fell in love, and I fell hard. :love: I've…

Want to lose about 30 ... will turn 40 in 2013 and I want to look fabulous! THIS. I need to have several "crucial confrontations" (at least three) in 2012.

I am also a Lifetime Member who is doing both concurrently. I am enjoying MFP but I try not to use all the exercise calories I am given as I find the estimates high. I was feeling some kind of way about PointsPlus but now that they have adjusted the daily target for short, stout people lke myself, I am seeing losses and…

Let's see ... Having to buy a size 32 gown for my wedding (and driving to another state to buy it!) Having people ask me when I was due when I wasn't pregnant Getting checked by sorors for "making them look bad" Breaking my back for the first of many public events at work and being relegated to the office to answer phones…
-
Ugh! I feel for all, have been there too.
-
There are a few I'd like to know better, but it probably wouldn't be a good look. :sad:
-
Yes, planning to track.
-
Only one ex ... nosireebob! Not only does he have problems with telling the truth, I don't think he likes women very much! Saw some recent photos ... don't recognize him and realize I don't really know him. Never did.

Hands down, the girls! I just tried on a dress that wouldn't zip all the way up (I was wearing a sports bra and hadn't planned on buying anything). I bought it anyway as motivation.

Hit an LV boutique and get a handbag!

Once a week -- any more often would drive me crazy!

A dress at Lord & Taylor -- no idea where I'll wear it: http://www.dillards.com/product/Lauren-by-Ralph-Lauren-Stretch-Satin-Dress_301_-1_301_502805494

From the "Monday's Child" nursery rhyme: I was born on a Sunday and my birthday is the 4th -- "But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day/Is bonny and blithe and good and gay."

Nice job! Congrats!

Exactly. In the end, it isn't the food or even MFP that will keep the weight off -- it is how we incorporate crucial skills into our daily habits.
