6 lbs from now, I'll have lost 10% of my original weight. That will be awesome

Something strange is happening. When I first joined MFP 6 years ago, I lost 25 pounds and got down to a size 18 from 22. Then I put all the weight back on + another 10. Now I'm down 18 pounds (still 15 off from where I was 6 years ago) and I'm down to a size 16! I bought two new pairs of work pants yesterday - my first…

I've started fastening my bra on the second hook and I'm almost to the third! I wouldn't be sad AT ALL to also lose a cup size, but I'm happy with smaller chest :)

Today, I gave my body a break. I'm in a lot of pain (ToM) and I feel nauseous all the time. So, no workout and not feeling guilty about it. Still staying under calorie and will try to get back to it tomorrow

I'm aiming to get to 212. That's the weight I was when I stopped logging and my life fell apart 7 years ago. I'm currently at 230, hoping to make it by end of year. I'll still have many pounds to go, but first I need to get back to where I once was :)

That's incredible!! How awesome! I'm also 5'0 and I'll be very happy if I can get to 150. Getting to a normal BMI range would be amazing! Go You!

Well, I had a semi-frustrating NSV today :) I went clothes shopping because I'm leaving for vacation on Friday and I was trying to wait as long as possible to get my body wherever it will be before vacation. Found out I'm TWO dress sizes down on tops and 1.5 down in pants :\ I tried on one size down and they were HUGE! I…

I'm focused on losing 10% of my original starting weight. I'm currently 10 lbs away

I have two today - 1 - A t-shirt I have that was tight when I got it is now loose :smiley: 2 - I touched my elbow to the same side knee! I have never even been close before, but today, I could do it!! I'm so excited!

Doc reduced my BP medicine and said if I continue to lose weight, I may get off them altogether! W00T!

Congratulations!! You look marvelous!

I took my wedding band off a year ago because it was cutting off circulation to my finger :( Now it's back on and comfortable!

I just hit the 100 day mark on here and I'm almost 15 pounds down, but not quite. I eat around 1500 calories a day and exercise daily, but my exercise would be considered very light to most people. There is a YouTube instructor that I really like, she does 20-25 min low impact workouts. I have found that it's something I…

Wow, congratulations! What a transformation!

That's fantastic!! And such a great mindset! I think that's the biggest challenge to overcome - getting in the right headspace. Once you do that, the rest can follow. Well done!

That's wonderful! I have one hanging in my closet that still doesn't fit. But, I'm gonna get to a point where it does :)

I had a couple yesterday. First, I got takeout for breakfast and they included a "bonus item" because it's Wednesday! WTF? So, instead of one chicken biscuit, I had two. In old times, I would've scarfed both down. Instead, I put one in the fridge for breakfast today. Then, I went to work but forgot to pack a lunch. *sigh*…

To enter the 220s. Each new decade is exciting and I"m a little over 2 pounds away right now, and I seem to have plateaued. But, I"m confident I'll break through it eventually :)

1703+13 = 1716

I was able to put on a shirt and have it be loose! It's a shirt I picked up years ago and I've gone through stages with it from it being loose, to too tight to imagine wearing. It's just a t-shirt, nothing special. But, feeling comfortable in it and comfortable enough to wear it OUTSIDE where people might SEE me is a good…
