Feel like a fraud?
I don't know why it is but often I feel like a fraud. Like I haven't really lost 70 pounds.... It doesn't make sense really. I've dropped 5 pants sizes...but I keep thinking maybe the clothes are just different, maybe it is the way they are made, maybe they were never really tight to begin with..... I'm justifying why I…

Want to reach your goal?
I just read this in an article by Jenny Schroedel and loved its simplicity..... "If a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, then your job is just to start walking. Don't worry about how quickly or smoothly you'll complete the journey; just put one foot in front of the other and keep moving"

MY way is the ONLY way and other ridiculous thoughts
I really enjoy coming here and reading about the success and struggles of others. I enjoy sharing what works for me and will give my opinion, based on my experiences, when I am asked. I get very frustrated sometimes at the abundance of JUDGEMENT you can find on any weight loss site. Whether or not to eat sugar, meat, or…

NSV down a size
I wore a size 18 jeans to a cookout yesterday (down from size 28). I vividly remember buying my first size 18 jeans on my way UP the scale....it was at the end of my first year of college. So happy to be going back down again!! Only problem is my size 18 dress pants that I've been trying to get into are now so huge…

Next step...breathing!
I bought a few new items of clothing recently because my old size 28 were falling off. But I don't want to buy too much because I'm still losing. :) I recently celebrated my 40th birthday and I got a gift card for clothes. SO I decided I won't go shopping again until I am comfortably in an 18. I'm wearing 22 right now and…

what's your excuse?
I recently switched to morning workouts and as much as I hate getting up in the morning I find I have less time to argue with myself and make up excuses for why I can't go to the gym than I do when I went in the evening and had all day to come up with arguments. There are two main things that get me up and moving... 1. I…

Just a small pet peeve
You lose weight. :smile: Your pants are getting loose because you are losing weight. :happy: You want your fat to loosen up so you can lose it :tongue: Stop loosing weight! That just makes you saggy :wink:

Dog eats owner's toes
Just saw an article at snopes that had that headline....it seems dogs have been known to eat dying/decaying flesh even if they aren't dangerous. The man was diabetic with numb feet......poof three toes gone. And.....we're done with the hummus

Went shopping :)
I went shopping last night and got my hair cut. I bought pants and underwear 4 sizes smaller....wow, boy shorts are comfy!!! I bought shirts 3 sizes smaller. :) And if you look at my profile and wonder how that is possible with only 17 pounds lost....I've lost 17 since joining MFP in January. I've lost 67 since last year.…

High Fives and butt smacks

The next poster should leave an encouraging note on their post about the person above them (a high five/butt smack lol) My one thing I did well today..... I tried interval training in the pool today. It was…

dropping your pants in public
Okay this is not a NSV......because not eating isn't really part of my weight loss plan! My underwear has been getting a little big lately and I knew I needed to buy new ones soon. I've lost 63 pounds in the past year...it is past time. Well this week I've been sick and haven't eaten much of anything. Woopsie! I went to…

New old pants NSV
I couple of weeks ago I went shopping in my closet for clothes I had saved from when I was smaller. I found some pants that were already to big, some that fit, and some I had yet to get into. One pair in particular was a pair I wanted to wear to work....black pin striped pants. They didn't fit yet. I couldn't get them…

Hard week
I've had a hard time this week. I stopped dating a guy a really like. The weather was crummy and I got a leak in the kitchen from the ice melting on the roof.....no money to pay for repairs of course. Then I had a really horrible day at work today where I felt completely worthless and devalued. I'm honestly shocked that my…
