Holiday weekend
I was just thinking about the weekend and how this weekend differed from normal weekend. I was also thinking about past 4th of July weekends and how this year was different. In years past it was a free pass to eat and eat and eat. This year I made a pact with myself to only eat what I needed and not as much as I wanted. I…

4th of July
I'll be honest. I'm a little scared. My family does cookouts for the 4th. I have two planned that will be huge. And who knows how many impromptu ones will just happen. There will be food. Lots and lots of food. I have learned to take things that I am more comfortable eating. I don't care for the potato salad and macaroni…

Introduce yourself...
My name is Becky. I have been doing this for almost a year. I lost 97 pounds and then hit a wall. I gained back about 30 pounds and decided that was unacceptable. I was struggling. Unfortunately I thought I could fix it on my own. Boy was I wrong. I have learned the importance of having people to help pick you back up,…

June 20, 2013
Ok folks!! What did you do to make today a good day? Was it diet and nutrition? Did you kill it in the gym? Did you do some fun activity? Here's what I did...I ate well and was way under calories (but still ate plenty!), went for a two mile bike ride with my daughter. Then we went to a local fair and did a half hour of…

I'm Shrinking!!
So I was just flipping through the book I record my measurements in. I first measured myself on July 31, 2012. I last measured on Jan 3, 2013. In that time I have lost a total of 46 inches off of my body. That's 3.8 feet. Really puts things in perspective for me!!

This is what 90 pounds looks like!!
I started this in July of 2012. I have currently shed 90 pounds. I say shed, because it's gone forever! I'm not gonna find it, gain it or tolerate it anymore!! I have changed just about everything in my life as far as food and exercise go and it has been life changing. I have many goals for 2013. Some are competing in some…

My NSV Day!!
A couple of things to share...I finally fit into a pair of real jeans. You know, the kind that button and zip! I have worn elastic waists for over 10 years. I noticed that eating is a little harder without the built in expansion!! This is good!! I saw two of my sisters today and one said "Wow! You look smaller! You should…

COLD!!
Is anyone else cold now that they've lost weight? I was always way to warm and even in the dead of winter would sleep with the window open a bit and a fan on. I rarely wore a winter coat. Now it's in the 50's and I'm freezing!!! I'm gonna need a snowsuit this winter!! LOL Has anyone else noticed this? Just curious.

Question about Calories Burned
I look up exercise on MFP and I also have an app on my phone that let's me input exercise, intensity and length of time and gives a caloric burn. Usually they are pretty close. Today I put in my water exercise and there was about a 1000 calorie difference. I have seen several posts that say MFP overestimates exercise…

Hello
Hello, I'm a new MFP user and I'm loving the site. I've lost weight and my energy level is through the roof! I'm feeling so good. I think I am annoying my family! I'm looking for people to share encouragement with! I love meeting new people and getting to know them.
