Its not all about the scale. 218 to 124 (pictures)
I have posted my full story before when I went from 218 to 118. I was super proud of the 100lbs I lost but I learned a little lesson in the last year. Its not all about the scale. I gain 5lbs this fall and I really didn't mind it. The original goal weight was 127 and I only went to 118 so that my skin would get a chance to…

Gilbert AZ
I have no intention of competing with MFP for page visits (I get nothing from this) but I know for the purpose of arranging workout partners and meal planning, MFP is very global so it is difficult to get local people for IRL contact. Last week I created a new group with the hopes of providing support to people who are…

Super proud momma posting my son's 50lb progress with pics.
This is my son. He is 17 and like most kids spends most of his days playing video games with his friends. 6 months ago he decided he wanted to become a chaplain in the army. He knew he was over the weight cap for his height for military service. At 256 he wouldn't be accepted and in his current shape he wouldn't be able to…

Pre Diabetic
I know that something like 20% of all Type 2 Diabetics are not overweight so perhaps some of you will see this and give me some advise. I am 36yrs old 5'4" and 122lbs. I am fit. I am not skinny on the outside only. I work out 5 days a week for 1.5-2hrs. I have been limiting fast acting carbs as part of my diet since I lost…

High Blood Sugar Rant
I went to the Dr last week for the annual and she recommended I get the basic blood panel done. I did and my results came back with a high A1C, pre diabetic. The DR recommended I cut carbs. I already eat fairly low carb (120-140 per day), I am aiming for high protein. My diet is better than anyone I know (IRL some of the…

Getting weaker
I have been going to the gym for 7 months now. I upped my weights consistently until around May. In May with no change to my diet, supplements, or exercise (I was lifting 4 days a week with 30min cardio before and after and 1 day of pure cardio) I started finding the same weights more difficult to handle. I was doing 3…

Thor needs your opinion!
I am going to PHX comicon this weekend as the Marvel comics version of Thor (who is a female currently). You never see her eyes in the comic so I am considering using sunglass lenses to black out my eyes in the helmet. Not everything that looks cool in a comic translates to a cool costume though and I am a bit worried I…

Correlation between working out and feeling "amorous"
Forgive my euphemisms, but I would prefer to keep this relatively clean so that it doesn't get flagged in the first 5 minutes. I also do not need offers in my in box to "help" with the situation. :-) I have been working out 5 days a week,1-2hrs, for about 6 months and more and more I am noticing an increase in my overall…

Wire cutters
My 3yr old fell on Sat and broke and dislocated his jaw. He is running around acting like it doesn't bother him so I was less nervous about it. They were unable to just adjust him back in place in the surgeon's office yesterday so he has to go under general anesthesia tomorrow and they think they will want to wire his jaw…

A question of grammar
I am attempting to fix this statement in a warning message. DO NOT RUN THIS MIGRATION UNTIL YOU SPOKE AND COORDINATE WITH SOMEONE AT <COMPANY NAME>. The tense is clearly different between spoke and coordinate but no matter how I write it, it just sounds funny. DO NOT RUN THIS MIGRATION UNTIL YOU HAVE SPOKEN AND COORDINATED…

(pics) A little less fuffy Part 2 7weeks
I posted a 3 week progress picture 4 weeks ago so I thought I would give another update. I am including the original weight loss pics for anyone who didn't catch my earlier posts. So 3 years ago this is what I looked like. 218lbs and very fluffy. I lost 100lbs in a little less than a year and looked more like this, still…

A little less fluffy in 20 days (pics)
Those of you who know me know that I really started out like this 3yrs ago: I had a plan though and it started with needing to lose 100lbs, which took me a little under a year to accomplish. That left me with some loose skin and general lumpiness (not that any of it shows in the above picture. I read that it takes up to 2…

Help Valentine's Day!!
I am going on a date with the hubby for Vday and I need to pick a top. I don't have any local girl or guy friends I can ask for an opinion. The hubby tends to like conservative dress and so I am going for something classy. He is also a bit of an *kitten* man so a pencil skirt seems like a good compromise between classy and…

All the normal guys of MFP
I know yall don't like to call yourselves hot but the girls wanna ogle today so here is a space where you can post and they can look. If you happen to have great abs I guess that is a bonus but I like my eye candy a little less chiseled. <3

Sabotage
I am good about finding ways to resist temptation before it presents itself. I have strategies for dealing with tempting foods. One such strategy is I do not bring cash to the grocery store this time of year. Why? GIRL SCOUT COOKIES! I love them. I eat them all. I cannot be trusted with a box of thin mints. I know this…

Question for the costplay crowd
I want to go to PHX comicon this year as the female version of Thor. Now you can agree or disagree with Marvel's decision to allow Mjolnir to pass to a female but she looks bad *kitten*. I am hitting the gym hard to get rid of the giggle on my arms but part of the costume is a bit of an issue for me. That helmet is pretty…

People who lost 80+ and kept it off.
Today is the 3rd anniversary of the day I started my change. I have been wondering a bit lately why it worked this time and not the dozens of times I tried before. I am different now in more than just the amount of air I displace. Once upon a time I would be angry if I got the wrong order at a fast food restaurant but now…

Minding my own business
So I know this woman who is an elementary teacher. Well if she was ever in the classroom that is what she would be doing. Basically I live in an area with several school districts close to each other. She gets hired and is there just long enough to go out on short term disability or has an accident that she sues the…

Too Hot to Ignore
Just a public service reminder. It is hot outside. Do not leave your kids in the car for even a second to run into the store, a friends house, work or school to pick up one thing. It doesn't take long to lose the most precious thing you have and nothing is so important that it cannot wait or be done with the little one in…

Random compliments from strangers
There are a lot of very attractive women on this site, and you all are a particularly chatty group too, so this seems like as good a place as any to ask this question. I am quite accustom to giving and receiving complements online with people I do not know but not strangers in the real world. I am not talking about cat…

I Feel Like Porky Pig Today
Did you ever have one of those days where every time you start to type a message to someone you get to one word and it doesn't look right so you retype it, but it still doesn't look right so you type it again, it still doesn't look right so you go to spell check and spell check looks at it and replies with answers that…

Mental Health and Pioneer Elementary
They are building a behavioral health/drug treatment facility (a 72 bed hospital) on the property adjacent to Pioneer Elementary in Gilbert AZ. It will actually share a back wall with the student drop off zone and at this time does not have a western (the direction of the school) wall at all. What are your thoughts?…

2 Easters in pictures 100lbs difference between them
I have posted before but since it is Easter I pulled up a photo from the Easter before I started this journey. I was at least 218 in the first picture from Easter 2011. I may have been more but I avoided the scale a bit back in those days. This morning I was 117. I usually bounce between 115 and 118.
