53 lbs lost (with pics)
So I decided that since I’m home sick today and actually have time, I’d post this now. I’ve been overweight my whole life; with a few exceptions almost everyone in my family is overweight so I didn’t see much of a problem. My husband met and married me when I was very close to my heaviest and never once complained about my…

Weight loss = hair loss?
For the past few months my hair has been falling out. I’m not saying that I have bald patches or anything like that, but my once really thick hair is now very thin. And every morning in the shower there is a big clump of hair in the drain. I’ve already been to the doctor and she said that there is nothing medically wrong…

halfway picture
I know I'm losing weight becuase of how my clothes fit, but when I look in the mirror I still can't see it. Then I looked at pictures of myself taken at the beginning of the year and compared it to one taken last week. I was so happy at the difference that I had to share. It was hard to find a "before" picture of me…

Was I really like that????
I have to apologize in advance for the long post and thank you if you make it all the way through. I don’t know if this is considered a success story but this is where I thought it fit. So I read of lot of posts about how a person’s mental and emotional health has changed once they started losing weight. I decided to ask…

Olive Garden?
I am taking my mom out to lunch at Olive Garden for mothers day next weekend. This has been our tradition for as long as I can remember, but I've never paid attention attention to the nutritional values before. I haven't gone out to eat much since I've changed my eating habits, because I know it's much easier to eat…

dress shopping
I HATE getting measured for bridesmaid dresses. I put of getting measured until today - the last possible day to order the dress and get it in time for my friends wedding in October. The last time I get measured for a bridesmaid dress last December I had to order a size 22. I know the dresses run small but I was so upset…

sick
I ate a piece of tiramisu today. I knew before hand I was going to have it, so I was extra careful to plan healthy meals today and am going to extend my workout tonight to burn off the extra calories, so I’ll still be within my limit today. The only problem I have now is that I feel so sick! I only had a small piece and…

little milestone
I’ve been walking 2 miles almost ever day and little by little I’ve been adding jogging to my walk. I’m still not able to jog the whole 2 miles, but today I was able to jog for a full mile without stopping! That may not be a big deal for a lot of people, but that’s huge for me considering that a few months ago I couldn’t…

Pineapple sweet and sour chicken
Sorry if this is a repeat. I made this for the first time last night and it was great! (My husband who doesn’t like peppers, mushrooms, onions or pineapple ate 2 servings last night. This morning he asked if we could have leftovers instead of me cooking an new meal tonight! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: ) 1 can (20oz) of Dole…

it fit!!!
So this morning I was searching for something to wear (I need to do laundry so my choices are limited). I found a shirt in the back of my closet that I have not worn since last November. It was WAY too form fitting and showed more of my curves than necessary. I figured I'd try it on to see how much more I have to lose…

off topic
So this has nothing to do with weight loss, but I'm so mad that I had to vent. My brother-in-law told my husband today that he's too nice to me. His exact words were " Stop being so nice, you need to step up and show her who's the man." Are you kidding me???? This from a man who has 2 children from 2 different women and is…

30 Day Shred
Is anyone else doing the 30 day shred and logging it in their MFP exercise diary? I’m trying to keep track of all my workouts and calories burned, but I can’t find all the exercises I do in the video listed in the diary. Is there an easier way to do this? Thanks!

New to this site
I’ve been up and down with my weight my whole life and pretty much accepted that I would always be overweight. I’ve started and stopped diets for a long as I can remember with no lasting results. But hey, I have a husband who loves me so it’s not that bad, right? Wrong. I had a doctor appointment last December and wanted…
