awesome, awesome, awesome! keep it up!

I'm in!

I gave up fast food completely.. and drastically reduced eating out to once a week.. working on giving up coffee (day 3) and diet soda with lunch.. cut back on beer consumption. I have added way more veggies to my meals and trying to get adventurous with flavors. I find that onions, tomatoes, lime and some basil and garlic…

Hi all!! I love NSV threads!! It’s a great way to share success even if the scale reflects otherwise! And really, only people who are trying to lose weight appreciate NSV’s.. So here are a few of mine since I started.. 1. I’m finally comfortable in my own skin. 2. Three women from my weight training class that I go to in…

1/1- 2.18 miles with elliptical 1/1- 1.70 miles running/walking 1/4- 2.17 miles with elliptical 1/8- 2.05 miles with running/walking 1/10- 2.19 miles with elliptical 1/10- 1.63 miles with running/walking Slow going due to knee problems from running.. But still doing it!

Slow to start but better than nothing! 1/1- 2.18 miles with elliptical 1/1- 1.70 miles running/walking 1/4- 2.17 miles with elliptical

This sounds like fun.. Starting the couch to 5k program tomorrow so this will be perfect.. I am shooting for 50! Not sure if I am doing the whole ticker thing right.. Can't get my ticker to show.. *sad face*

Thank you for posting this.. I am someone who is focused on the number.. I am slowly turning away from that though.. I live on the bottom floor and have to walk up a flight of stairs to get to the car and one day, my husband said.. "You don't complain about the steps anymore.." which made me realize my body is changing and…

I went to the gym this morning.. Even though I was dog tired and wanted to stay in my nice, warm bed.. woohoo!

I think many times, people don't want to say anything, even though they notice. I had a coworker ask if I was losing weight and when I said yes, he was like.. I thought so but didn't want to say anything.. you know.. Also, if we are wearing the same clothes because we are at that awkward stage where we can't go down a size…

That is probably the best feeling.. putting on clothes that used to be too small but now fit.. its better than watching that number on the scale drop.. *high five*

Thank you for posting this topic! I am seeing everything else shrink but my arms, which I can't stand.. Even though I feel muscle they are still pretty fatty.. Thanks to all who posted! Very inspirational!

Complete inspiration!! Great job! I have about 90 lbs left to lose to be at my goal weight and had one of those mornings where I want to scream F this and give up.. Your story has re-inspired me! Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend!

AWESOME!! Its a good feeling when our bodies exceed what our minds think we are capable of doing.. Keep it up!

Congrats on the pregnancy and weight loss! Very motivating to see someone do it with hard work!

I read this.. thought about how horrible it would be to get stuck in a turnstile.. and recommitted to losing weight.. Back on the wagon!

GREAT JOB!! I was going to skip the gym tomorrow because of the holiday and give myself a break, but after seeing your pics, I am so going! Keep up the good work!

4:20 5 days a week my alarm goes off.. In the beginning it was tough but I love having 2 hours to myself.. And when I get home from work, I don't have to sacrifice my family time.. Cheers!

Hi there, I would eat chocolate frosting straight from the container.. I am completely addicted to sugar.. specifically chocolate.. If I could bathe in chocolate, I probably would! Here's to quitting chocolate!

I work for a college and my business card said "Acdemic Adivsor" instead of "Academic Advisor".. the thing is, the cards go through THREE, count 'em, THREE, people before they are sent to the printer..

HAHAHA.. I was reading this and was like "I wonder what really annoys me" and then I read this and I have a friend who says this and I have to bite my tongue all the time! She sounds like a 5 year old!! I always type my posts in a word document and then cut and paste so I don't make mistakes..

Celery with natural peanut butter and raisins is a good snack for me.. it mixes the crunchy with the sweet and salty.. laughing cow cheese is also good..use the natural pb sparingly though because it can be high in calories..

Just say you are doing a health and wellness program that guarantees you will be a happier, more productive employee!!!

glad to know that i am not the only one with a weakness for the weekends.. weekends are awful for me too! just stay positive and like a lot of people stated, today is a new day. hit the reset button and dont get stuck in the "i'm a failure" mindset.. i would suggest writing down what triggers this behavior and try to avoid…

funny you mention this because i now change the channel when a fast food commercial comes on.. I have been doing this for a couple of weeks.. and what do you know!! i havent had fast food in a couple of weeks..

WOOHOO!! the hard work and effort is paying off.. no better feeling!

Thank you!! I just keep reminding myself its about how I feel, not what the scale says.. I know I will have my challenges but a positive attitude is what its all about.. that and a supportive community like mfp!

giving up is not an option for me.. i know that if i give up, then i eventually have to start over and this cycle has been going on for almost 10 years.. losing, not losing, getting discouraged and giving up.. so on and so forth.. time flies so before i know it, it will be a year from now and i will be posting my before…

Normally I would hop right on the bus to negative town and that is what has killed my motivation and ultimately led to me quitting so many times before. I figured if I focus on the things I am doing right, with the things I can change, then I will be successfully. I know I will have my days where I will want to throw in…

See.. this is what I am talking about! Such support! Thank you! Its nice to know that I am going into battle with some backup!
