NSV! My blood levels are all normal!
I am so psyched! A year ago I had a huge eye-popping moment when I discovered how much I weighed and that I was pre-diabetic, my triglycerides were high and my good cholesterol was too low. A year later my blood results have all come back normal -- and this is without the use of medicine. My triglycerides have dropped so…

Woohooo! No longer in Obese category.
Yipee!!!! It's taken me about 10 months of work, but I have finally made it to the point where I am now listed as overweight in the BMI instead of obese. Considering where I started, I'm thrilled. I know the BMI is an incredibly subjective tool, but it still makes me feel so much better to be on the overweight side of…

Shirataki Noodles
Is anyone familiar with these? I saw them on a list of 6 super foods that you are "probably not eating" on Yahoo. I tried to look them up via the CDC and Mayo Clinic websites to see if the information is true, but I was not able to find anything. It is one of those things that sounds too good to be true. Only 50 calories…

NSV: My family was awesome!
Hi. I promised to follow up on my visit to see my family. They had not seen me since I had lost all the weight and I was nervous about it to see if they would notice or be disappointed in the fact that I still have quite a few curves despite my loss. So for the record: You were all RIGHT. They were amazing. My sister said…

for my MFP friends (pics)
Hi. I finally finished the last of my Christmas projects and figured I'd share a few pictures so you could see what I've been writing about doing. The first two pictures are the quilt I made for my sister for her Christmas present and the last one is the ornaments I made for my sister, brother and parents. The pictures in…

Nervous to have my family see me
In about a week I will be traveling to visit my parents for Christmas. My brother, sister-in-law and sister will be there too. While I know I will have a great time (we always do when we get together), I am very nervous to have them see me. They have all been very sweet and supportive about my weight loss process, but I…

NSV! Smaller clothes
Hi. I am just completely psyched. I just got home from the store and found out that I can now fit into a size 14 petite pant and a medium jacket! Holy cow! I was hoping I would be able to squeeze my behemoth tush into size 14 pants by Christmas. Man, I am more pumped than ever to get these last 30 pounds off. Anyone else…

Anyone else have this happen?
I am a little more than half-way done with my weight loss and have noticed some strange things getting smaller while other stuff isn't. For example, my wrists and fingers and feet are all significantly smaller, but my gut still has a lovely "pooch" to it. I expected my rings would be fitting better, but now they are…

NSV! People are noticing!
Okay, so maybe it took me 40+ pounds, but this last week, I have had a lot of people tell me that I look like I am losing weight and compliment me on my efforts. It feels so good to have people notice. :bigsmile: When did people begin to notice your efforts?

How long does a pie stay good?
I found a really good recipe online this week for a low-carb, sugar-free pumpkin pie. I LOVE pumpkin pie. As far as I am concerned, Thanksgiving was created for pumpkin pie. The idea of getting through Thanksgiving without was making me really sad. Anyway, in case it was awful, I made one this week. Well, now I am trying…
