80 lbs in 8.5 months. (pic heavy)
I posted a similar story at 70 lbs lost, but I like to share because I've found something that works for me. I would love to help any of my fellow MFPers in anyway possible so I thought I'd update you all on my progress. I started this journey as a 5'6 27 yr old weight 336 lbs on November 7, 2012. Today I am a 256 lb 28 yr…

One Year and 97 pounds in...
Ok, so I shared a photo a couple weeks ago, but I had a little anniversary last weekend. It is one year from when I took this photo. It was a Zumba costume party. I had such a good time that year, but About 2 weeks later i joined Curves and logged my weight at 336 pounds. I used this year's Zumba party as a celebration of…

As I approach 100 lbs lost
I feel myself slipping off the band wagon. Why? WHY? I don't want to sabotage myself or my hard work. I'm posting this here for accountability and celebration. I started at 336. I am at 239. My goal was 100 pounds by my start date November 6. So close!

On Tuesday I changed courses for a new path, ended up running past a chick fil a and an Ihop instead of my usual wild flowers and…

From Shirt to Dress.
I put this shirt on yesterday fully expecting to be able to wear it as a shirt.... It ended up being more like a dress. I wore it anyway to remind me of how far I've come.

Down 70 pounds in 6.5 months.
6.5 months ago I would have thought that getting this far was an impossibility. I have never been so motivated for so long. I have never seen such great results so fast.

I Have Caught the RUNNING BUG
I'm on Week 5 Day 3 of C25k. Friday, I'm supposed to have my first 20 minute run. Today was intervals of 8 minutes running and 5 minutes walking. I'm nervous!! Let me ask you all something. Does speed come with more and more training? Right now I weigh 268 pounds (down from a high of 336) and I just feel like I'm going so…

How many calories should I be eating?
Okay, my diary is public. Someone please take a look and tell me what I should be eating. I have BodyMedia so it logs all my activity and calorie burn through the day. As a result MFP gives me TONS of calories to eat in a day. I rarely if ever go above 1500 calories a day. I'm confused. I'm still losing, but I want to lose…
