So much for taking it easy until the end of the year :smiley: Last week was a roller coaster, Austin Monday & Tuesday, Houston Tuesday night, Wednesday & Thursday. My grades were posted this week, and I still maintain my 4.0 GPA and this next semester I'm planning on taking 4 1/4 classes - I may end up having to drop one,…

@Mel – thank you for such a great and inspirational post. Even after just a 23 pound loss I find that I am more likely to be photographed now. I generally try to avoid photographers at ALL cost. @zbc – welcome to the thread, are you taking your classes online? @Grandma – don’t beat yourself up. Sunday share – I’m a 45 year…

Had a fantabulous Thanksgiving!!! Regardless of the political aspect of the holiday, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. It's a time when your entire family gets together and no thoughts are given to what you're going to get, or what you're going to give it's a holiday all about giving thanks. So, this year I'm thankful…

@Skinnyjeanz We’re going to the Quachita Trail up in Oklahoma, the weather will be “brisk” but it’s the way I like it when I have a 40 pound pack on my back. My hubs and I have figured out that we’re too old to sleep on the ground too, and normally hammock camp but we’re taking the dogs and I don’t know how they’re going…

Busiest day of my work month is over, bring on the Holiday!!!! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because I get to see all my family in one spot at one time - LOVE IT!!!! I'm not travelling until Monday, and I actually get 1/2 day off tomorrow, all day Thursday, and all day on Friday. So, plenty of time to finish strong…

It’s been a normal week in my life, I got a call on Wednesday that I needed to be somewhere out of town on Wednesday, woke up at 2:30 am to make my flight. Tiring week – and when I’m tired I don’t exactly have the will power to do what I’m supposed to. I went over calories on Thursday, but I hit the gym at the hotel this…

I’m still here, lurking about – watching people post :) I took a day off from working out yesterday, and plan on having my first cheat day food wise in 24 days – just can’t go one more day without some pizza…I feel a little guilty about it, but I’ll make it up on the treadmill. This week has been good, I haven’t weighed…

I have been building up to 60 minutes, started at 30 with almost no incline and slowly inched my way up to 3% incline to start and 60 minutes - all the way up to the max the machine will go, I alternate every 2.5 ish minutes at 3%, 5%, 7%, 8% & 12% and I'm still only at 2.5 MPH, I will inch that up when I'm happy with the…

My goals for this week: Treadmill 60 minutes 5 times this week Log all food intake

Returning to MFP after a long hiatus. Need to lose a bunch ;)

I also have over 100 pounds to lose. I've seen MFP work for others and I'm hoping for the same.

Ok - it's a waist trimmer but it would work to harness those girls :) It's velcro so you can make it as tight as you need it to be. http://www.amazon.com/Everlast-Slimmer-Belt-Fits-Waist/dp/B001NCDC4K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1377486762&sr=8-2&keywords=everlast+waist+trimmer

1st generation Texan, and proud of it!!!

I give a friendly nod, or a half wave. My half wave would turning my hand up :)

You're amazing, that's awesome!

My abs were already sore, and this just KILLLLLLLLLED me :D Awesome story.

I really can relate to this. I know MANY MANY times my hubby and I have said, we're going to start our diet tomorrow so we're going to pig out today. Yeah, that happened all the way until I was 130 pounds overweight. So, just for today I'm going to make healthy food choices and go to the gym.

I had a health adviser at the gym I go to tell me the same thing. I went from 1200 to 1600 calories, we'll see how it goes, this is my first week. She said if I eat at 1200 my body will think that's all it needs to survive and slow down to that. I'm eating fairly clean, lots of fruits and veggies. She also upped my protein.

The ultimate little black dress. Think Audrey Hepburn style.

Your NSV just made me cry. Congrats you!!! The things we give up because we're overweight..... I'm so happy for you!

Good job!!!!

Sent a request!

I feel the same way.... I WANT people to notice I've lost weight, but they're just NOT..... oh well, I can AND I feel better.

Being a size 11 I feel your pain..... interested in finding out more about this myself :) And I TOTALLY agree..... the cute shoes stop at a size 10.

I started my fitness journey on 5/10/2013 at 260 pounds, I'm down 22 pounds from there. So in 3 months I would like to be 24 pounds lighter, in a year I'd like to be at my goal weight. In 3 months, I'd like to be able to go hiking for extended periods of time w/out getting too terribly winded. I'd like to be able to do my…
