Goodbye 40 pounds! ~Almost~ halfway with pics :-)
Hey Friends! Just recently got off a long plateau so I took some pics to encourage myself. I started in January at 235 pounds. This morning I am 195 (after sticking around 200 for about 6 weeks!). I still have 45 pounds to go but that seems like nothing now. I love MFP! Thanks everyone for helping me! I will try to post a…

My 30 Day Shred Before and After
Hi Everyone! When I started 30 Day Shred I couldn't get enough of other people's before and after pictures--they were great motivation for me! So I wanted to make sure I took some as well. I started 30DS on February 11th and finished yesterday (March 17th). I took I believe 4 rest days spread out in there, and did each…

Back to it for the New Year
Hello MFP Friends! I have been here on MFP for awhile, but for the last half of this year I have pretty much just been treading water and hanging under the radar. I'd like to apologize to all my MFP friends that I haven't been very active or supportive for you lately! I'm taking the start of 2013 as an opportunity to get…

NSV--pictures/videos :-)
Last night I got to perform at the fair with the country band I sing with at church. I had a great time, but the best part was looking at the pictures and videos that were taken of our performance. (One of those pics is my profile pic.) I started with MFP on January 1st and have lost 50 pounds. Looking at these pictures…

HELLO Diet Soda Cake!!!
Hey Guys, I just learned a new cake recipe. Take your favorite dry cake mix and, instead of mixing with the eggs, oil, etc. that it says on the box, just mix it with one can of your favorite diet soda. Then bake as listed! Mine took a little less time then the box said so I just kept an eye on it. I made chocolate cake…

Any Ladies on Seasonique BC?
Alright Ladies, I've been on Seasonique birth control for a few years now. I LOVE only having 4 periods a year. However, I have a question for you. Does it make you go completely will-power-less in the week to ten days before your period??? Now, I know what a lot of people would say...that's an excuse, I'm imagining it,…

I'm Glad I Tracked My Binge
Today I went on a huge binge. I've been under my calories every day for a month, and today I gave into my hated food weakness and ate a ton of really unhealthy stuff. My first instinct was to hide this fact. I didn't want to put it in my journal because that meant I had to face it. Then I thought, who is it helping if I…
