I thought I was in relatively good shape for my age . .
. . . until I started doing lunges. Good gravy, I can hardly throw my leg over the seat of my motorcycle. :-)

Before/After and maintenance *Pic*
After a trip to New Orleans in March 2012 for vacation, I looked at some of the pictures that were taken of me while there and was appalled at what I saw. It was apparent that I needed to do something about my weight, so on the recommendation of a friend I signed up for MFP. Below are my results. Before: ~230 pounds After:…

New pants, new pics.
I finally went and bought some clothes that fit me a little better. I've lost over 30 pounds but had not updated my wardrobe. I'm close enough to goal weight now that I thought it was time for new pants. I've only eight or nine pounds to go to reach goal, but my loss has kind of stalled right now - partly because my…

Feeling fat today - pic for reinforcement
Like the subject says, I'm having a 'fat' day today (does that happen to anyone else?). My head knows that I have come SO FAR with my 30 pound loss, but there are days that I feel really fat. Today is one of those days. It could be the clothes that I'm wearing . . . I don't know. However, a before picture compared with a…

I guess they call this "onederland"?
This morning I am under 200 pounds for the second time in 4 days. Let me explain that. I was right around 202 on Thursday morning - the day I had to start preparing for a colonoscopy. Now for all of the youngsters who may read this, a colonoscopy is one of those medical procedures that "old" people get every 5 or 10 years.…

Before and during pic
I'm hoping that I can get my photo to work the first time. We'll see. Today, I celebrate my 9 week anniversary on MFP. I have resisted taking pictures over the couple of months, but out of pure curiosity, I stepped into the restroom here at work and took a quick picture in the mirror. Then I matched it up with a picture of…

NSV Underwear - don't worry, no pics.
A wonderful NSV for me. My underwear no longer fit. They slide down on me under my pants. The elastic is fine in around the top, they are just too big! I have to go get new underwear and new belts, because none of my belts will cinch up tight enough. I am so happy!

First 10# gone
I reached a milestone this morning - 10.6 pounds gone since April 4th, the day that I joined MFP. A colleague told me about this site and it's one of the best tips I've ever gotten. I eat all of my calories, including my workout calories. At my age and weight (I started at 230 pounds and am just shy of my 55th birthday),…

Very small NSV
I've only been around here for a couple of weeks. I lost about 5 pounds very quickly and have now leveled off to what I hope will be a steady, consistent weight loss. But as a number of people have told me, the scale doesn't tell the whole story. This morning while putting on my shoes, I realized that I can put my foot up…
