I ran my first 5K!
I started my journey to getting healthy on April 1 of 2012. To date I have lost almost 90 pounds. I decided a few months ago I would start running a little bit. This past Saturday the 3rd, a day before I am officially in my mid 40's, I ran my first 5K. My goal was not to win, but to finish and run the entire race. I did…

much needed NSV this morning
I haven't been on the scale since April 1. That was really hard for me as I am a slave to the scale, even though I know better. This morning when I got up I thought well let's just see. I gained two pounds. WHAT?!?!?!?!??! :angry: :mad: So here comes the conversation with myself in the bathroom mirror.... you GAINED? WTF!…

One year and 105 pounds gone forever!
April Fools Day 2012 I decided to try to start eating better. Watch how much I ate, quit snacking so much. Set a better example for my two boys. I was 330 pounds and cringed when I got on the scale that day. I didn't actively exercise, just cut down portions and ate healthier. One month later I got back on that scale and…

I'm in the over 100 lost club!!
11 months and I've lost 101 pounds! If you had told me a year ago that I would be where I am, doing what I'm doing, I would have died laughing. Never exercised, couldn't tell you how many calories per day I ate. I would switch from coffee loaded with french vanilla creamer right to Diet Pepsi for the whole day, never…

NSV this morning :)
I go to the gym pretty much every morning at 4 am. There are a few people there and we have all gotten to know each other a little bit. One lady, Lori, comes in twice a week for a spin class. She is my hero, walks with a cane, but still comes in to do her class and the treadmill beforehand. This morning I was on the…

Jealous friends?
I have a couple of "friends" (and I use that term loosely) that seem to want to sabotage me or have a negative comment on everything I do or say concerning my appearance, eating habits, gym habits, the way I breathe...lol..kidding on the breathing but it's ridiculous! I'm not quite sure how to handle them as I don't want…

84 pounds in 9 months
I started half heartedly watching what I ate on April 1 of this year. I was at 330 pounds. After a month I got on the scale and was surprised to see 20 lbs gone! HUH! So I thought, let me really try and see what I can do. The last few months have been no great in the scale sense, but I wasn't tracking and I think toning…

Running?
This morning I thought I would try to run/jog a bit on my treadmill. After using an elliptical every morning 30 minutes for the past 4 months I thought I could handle it. Yeah right lol. I would run for 1 minute every 5 minutes, only getting up to 4 speed so nothing really trememdous. and I was soooooooooooo winded at the…

Found a really old pic of me
When I started this last time to get healthy I was at 330 and was using that pic as my "before". Cleaning out a cabinet I came across this pic of me from 1999 at my brothers wedding. It is now hanging on my refrigerator as I never want to be that woman again. I have no idea what I weighed in the first pic but I'm guessing…

Treated differently?
I'm curious if anyone is treated differently by the public since their weightloss? I see a difference in how strangers react to me. I don't know if it's because I look better (so many avoid the fat lady) or if it's because my confidence is higher and I'm noticing them? Thoughts?

Cubicle Dweller
I'm looking for some ideas to keep me away from the dreaded office munchies. Funny I have a harder time at work during the week staying away from munching than at night or on weekends. I sit in a cubicle all day. My coworkers all have candy on their desks, there is ALWAYS someone bringing in donuts or cakes or something…

Had no idea this was here...
Hi! I've been using this as an app and had no idea there was a community on here. I've been working towards my goals since April 1 and have so far lost 84 pounds. The last couple months I haven't been logging like I should, and I think not keeping track of my calories has cost me. Although I haven't gained any back, I've…
