Happy Birthday to Me - From Morbidly Obese to Healthy (Pics)
Well, I was debating whether or not to post yet because I am not at my goal but I am getting so close. But many of my MFP friends told me I should be celebrating and share it with everyone. Today I turned 36 and gave myself the best present a girl could ask for...I am in a healthy bmi range for the first time in my adult…

Ummmm, guess who is a single digit NSV (pictures)
Okay, I had a major NSV today when I was out shopping for some work clothes. Wait for it....YES I am officially in a size 8 with a little room to spare. I did a little happy dance in the change room because I have not been in the single digits for over 18 years (high school). The last month my weight loss has been very…

13 Weeks in 2013 - Change Your Life Challenge!!!
This will be a different sort of group than the standard "weight loss" group because it will not only be centered on weight loss or gain but lifestyle changes. Everyone will choose their own goals (will go over S.M.A.R.T. goal setting) and work towards them and the weekly challenges are just about leading a healthier life…

Post your Christmas Pictures Here (2011/2012)
I thought it might be fun if we could have one thread dedicated to our Christmas transformations. So, if you have them, post a Holiday picture from last year 2011 and one from this year 2012. We can all celebrate how much we have changed and the progress we've made. And if you don't have a picture from last year, just post…

Ready for take-off...NSV
Had the best NSV...fitting into those tiny airplane seats with a bit of room to spare and cinching up the seatbelt, no need for the seatbelt extender anymore!!! And yes, it was nice not to get those dreaded "oh, I hope she doesn't have to squeeze into the seat next to me" glares from other passengers, in fact the man in…

NSV...Who sat on Santa's lap?
Yeah, that's right I sat on Santa's lap last night with my darling daughter. She's 11 now and getting a bit old for this stuff (as per her words) but I told her it would look creepy if I took the picture by myself. So, yes Is I stood in line with all of these very unhappy crying children in shirts buttoned too high and…

Getting frisky with the sales lady... NSV
I had myself a little NSV today. I have officially sized out of my old small clothes from years ago with the exception of 1 skirt. So, I had to go buy 2 new skirts, and wait for it...I used to be a tight 24 and today I bought a size 12 and a size 10 (has a little stretch). I had grabbed size 16s and the sales lady was like…

Ode to Soup...
I just finished a big bowl of soup for breakfast, and it was delicious. I could eat soup for all 3 of my meals and most days I eat at least 2 bowls a day. I make a huge pot every Sunday and we eat it throughout the week. Not only is it healthy, easy, and affordable (great for staying on a budget), but it fills me up…

And for today only there is no cover charge for this party, just be sure to bring your running shoes and be ready for lots of booty shaking and hands in the air. When I first started…
