22 pounds!
Woohoo...as of today I am no longer in the "Obese" BMI range. Granted, I am 29.8 and obese is 30, but still....I started out at 33.7 and 22 lbs later...I'm just "Overweight". That is an amazing feeling!

12 lbs down....38 to go!
I'm offically 1/4 of the way to my goal! I want to lose 50 lbs and I'm now down 12 as of this morning (190 to 178 since Jan. 11)! I'm so excited! I started getting compliments this week and people are noticing that I'm slimming down. It fees great to have someone ask "Have you lost weight?" YAY! Now on to the next 12!

My 14's can be taken off and put on without unbuttoning them! Yay for small victories!

Clothes don't fit?!?!
I have a question...probably more for the MFP ladies than guys....about clothes. I'm a CPA and work in a professional office, so I have to dress up each day (dress pants, nice shirt, heels, etc.). I've only been dieting for 2 weeks, but have been exercising and have seen a few pounds drop...but more so I am seeing myself…

Starvation Mode?
I'm really new to the diet world and am curious about what kicks your body into starvation mode. My calories are set at 1200 per day, without exercise. I'm doing the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred and burn around 300 calories during the 30 min workout. I know that allows me to eat a total of 1500 calories a day, but I'm…
