Back to Business
I'm back and starting fresh. I've got 100 pounds to go and I'm one week into healthy eating and exercise. I lost 110 pounds a couple of years ago with the great support of myfitnesspal...but unfortunately, I left the community and have since gained most of it back. So, here I am, back with a new start, new account, and new…

Doing the Seattle to Portland Bicycle Ride Tomorrow!
I am so excited AND nervous to head out on my very first organized bicycle ride tomorrow! I'll be doing the Seattle to Portland (STP), which is a 2-day, 202 mile event! Last year, when I was 245 pounds, I never even dreamed that someday I would participate in an event like this. Now, I feel so proud of myself for taking on…

Fat to Fit to Future Figure Competitor- Lots 'O' Photos
Okay, hopefully this works....not sure on the sizing of the photos! I have lost approximately 85-90 pounds (81 since I started with MFP) since April of 2012. My weight loss has resulted from a combination of very healthy eating, logging all of my foods and calories, and working out in a variety of ways including weight…

I've Got a Tape Worm
No, not a real tape worm! I have been sticking with a set calorie range and usually feel great on a day to day basis. I have plenty of energy for my workouts, my skin is clear, don't feel hungry, and I generally feel great......BUT.....I have noticed that every 2-3 weeks or so I will have a day where I am just plain…

NSV - Made a Sizeable Donation
So I went through my very overloaded closet this past weekend. Because of the weight I'd gained, I had a huge amount of clothing in a variety of sizes all stuffed into my poor closet. I was so happy to be able to fit back into a lot of my favorite clothing from previous lighter years, but that's not my NSV. My NSV is that…

NSV
My morning started out like most other mornings. I got up, got dressed and ready for work, ate breakfast, etc. My husband got home from his work (he works overnight shifts) just as I was headed out the door. I gave him a quick kiss goodbye and got into my car. I received a phone call from him about five minutes later. He…

ONEderland! My Story So Far.....and Pics.
I'm so happy today.....I have made it to ONEderland! My weightloss began after a trip to my doctor's office in April of this year. I was feeling down, my body was achy and I was constantly tired. I knew I had gained a lot of weight over the past few years, but I avoided stepping on the scale so I really didn't know just…

What 38 Pounds Lost Looks Like for Me
Hi Everyone! I wanted to post a couple of photos to show what 38 pounds lost looks like for me. This is the first time I am trying to post photos, so I'm not sure if I am doing it correctly or not. I began with MFP at the very end of April 2012 and have been going non-stop ever since. I still have a long way to go to meet…

NSV - I'm So Grateful
It seems like I often focus so much on what is wrong with my body- aching knees or back, foot pain, etc...... but not today. Today I completed my June goal to do a 50 mile bicycle ride and now I just want to say thank you to my body. I am overwhelmed with gladness and gratitude that I can get outside and move! I think…

Hi Everyone- I'm New and So Excited to Start this Journey
Hi, I'm brand new to MFP and really looking forward to making some new friends who are on a similar journey to lose weight and get physically fit! I'm 43, a working mom with two teen aged kids, and have a closet full of cute clothes that don't fit anymore. :sick: I started eating healthy and working out regularly about two…
