A Re-Introduction and Friends
I'm "re-introducing" myself to you all. I feel like this last year, I Lost me. At least I lost who I was becoming as I lost my weight. As of just over a year ago, I had lost 140 lbs. I was doing good, had settled into losing about 4 lbs a month or so, things were good. I was about 40-50 lbs to my goal and looking forward…

I have failed, Again - A Vent. =(
So, to my extreme disappointment in myself, I am once again having to start over in my weight loss journey. I'm posting this to somehow try to feel accountable. I feel like I need to get this out and with everyone here trying to be healthier in general, it's a good venue to do it in. And I pray and hope this is the last…

A Vent! How can someone be so un-supportive!!?
Truly feel for my hubby right now....My husband is overweight and he's never had the motivation since we've been married to change it. And nothing I've said or tried to do, has done much because when I know YOU have to get tired of the weight before you do anything. Nothing others say usually can force you into it. That…

Mini NSV for Me
....I officially have NO rings that fit me!!! I've been recycling rings to use as my wedding ring for months, but it's no use now - My smallest rings, all size 6's, are just way too loose to wear comfortably. Guess the few special rings I have that are 7's are going to have to be re-sized and hubby and I are going to have…

Me...In a DRESS! A little Before and During! (130 lbs lost)
Let's see if I can get the pic to work first of all...haha. Here's me back in November...I'd lost 8 lbs, so I was 361. And then..... Today in a size 22 dress (that is baggy in my chest area and that I can put on without unzipping!!) 230's. (not weighing in for August, so I can only give a roundabout number!) Still far too…

Needing some encouragement and pushing!
I've been on this journey since October and I've lost about 2/3 of the weight I want to lose. The last 70 lbs now feels like a "homestretch" to me and I'm just flat out anxious to get it off, to get this 42 lbs off and finally be under 200 lbs (for the first time in like 8 years!)....But I've been doing the weeble wobble…

I fit in ONE leg of the pants!
Weeee! Hope I get the pic to work! I'm about 125 lbs down all total right now...and I took some before and during pics to show my brother and tried on some pants I bought in Sept of '10 that FIT at the time. Now, I can stand in one leg! Can't wait to see what it'll be like with another 70 lbs gone! :)

104 lbs down....More to go, but I'll keep truckin'!
I got about 10 lbs heavier than the before picture before I started seriously changing things. And the after is 104 lbs down! I've still got a long way to go, but I'm keeping on going and doing the best I can. :) The weight is coming off much slower now than it did at the start (I started losing in October) but I'm just…

Stairmaster vs. Elliptical?
I have a Q for all the wiser than I people here. :) I have been working on both a stairmaster and an elliptical machine during my workout sessions. I can't help but see a HUGE difference in the calories burned count on either. Now, I know neither is probably totally accurate, but I'm curious as to if it's probably accurate…
-
NSV for Me :)
Just gotta get it out!! A few months ago I couldn't get through but about 5 minutes on the stairclimber....I'd go for 1 minute intervals, pause it and rest for 30 seconds and start going again. And by the time those 5 minutes were up I was huffin' and puffin! So pitiful. I just did 18 minutes without stopping, and without…
-
A Little NSV for Me!!!
I'm trying to break my habit of hopping on the scale so much because I know where I've been doing some weights and such, I might not be losing and might even be gaining as far as weight, but losing size anyway. So when I feel the thought to scale hop come on, I've been trying on clothes I haven't been able to wear in 2…

But a drop in the bucket...but a drop nonetheless! (before a
Let's see if I can make the pics work! haha.... The before collage is self explained...I was a bit heavier than the first pic when I started. This is today...65 lbs down - I was going to wait until I got to 70 lbs, but I'm impatient. haha. Granted, there's not much difference...when you're this heavy, it's just not super…

Calories burned Q -
I'm just generally curious....Is there a certain number of calories I should be trying to focus on burning during my exercise per day? Should I be trying to burn the amount of Calories I'm eating, or what? And does it matter if I split my workouts into a couple a day? 30 here, 30 later when I can? Just wondering because…

Don't you love it!!
When someone sees you and knows you've lost weight and they ask how much and you tell them and then they say..... "Wow! __ Lbs! That's great....I can really see it in your FACE!" lol Sorry, had to mention it. We went to lunch with my MIL today and she mentioned how good I'm doing and did that very thing. Cracks me up. I…

Having a "I just feel like eating" day. =(
It's just one of those days. I've been stuck at the same weight just about (give or take a pound or two) for a few weeks and a couple weeks ago I started making myself try to work out everyday that I can...at least 3-4 days a week. I've been doing 30 minutes of Elliptical, 20-40 minutes of walking on the treadmill and then…

New - obviously ;)
Hi all! I'm Jen - 26 years old, from Colorado. My younger brother directed me to the site for the many tools here on it, during my journey to getting healthy. :) I've already lost 54 pounds since October, just changing my diet and recently starting to exercise. (23 of those since I signed up on here and have been…
