Unexpected 'woosh'; need help!
I have been on a break from my calorie cut this summer to work on my fitness levels. My goal was to maintain my weight, firm up some muscles, and improve my fitness and endurance with the plan of heading back into a calorie cut in the fall. Between 7-28 and 8-7 I've dropped 3 lbs unexpectedly while trying to eat at…

One Year Later . . .
I've been on MFP for a year this month. I've had a lot of NSVs in that time and am down from a size 20 to a 12.

Keep in mind that this is…

I've been taking in waists with safety pins. :laugh: Her daughter recently lost weight and she had me try on a pair of discarded jeans. I was size 20 and the cast off…

NSV!
I started working on my weight loss around May of 2012. By August, I had lost some weight, but changed jobs and was working with new people. I've only been in this new job since August, but in the past week three people have complimented me on my weight loss and ask what I'm doing. They seem a bit skeptical that all I'm…
