I didn't get the dress...
But that's not necessarily a bad thing! I went shopping today over lunch and was checking out the clearance dress rack (like I always do...if it's not on clearance, I don't buy it). I found a really cute dress and as usual, it wasn't my size and it was the only one left. I told my friend that it was a size smaller that…

A few NSVs (kinda)
I'm counting both of these as NSVs even though their directly related to the scale results too. My workplace has implemented their "summer dress code" meaning that we can wear capris, short sleeves and jeans to work. I've never been one to wear capris very much so I had to go shopping and get some (thank goodness for…

Want to lose weight AND tone - What first?
OK, I'm sure this question has been answered ad infinitum but I'm going to ask it again. I want to lose weight and tone up and I realize that the two are not exclusive of each other, but what should I do first? I've started the C25K program and am making some progress and seeing weight loss. I'd like to lose about 50…

The inches say it all...
I am really happy with the pounds I've lost so far but I've been scared to actually look at the measuring tape. I took my measurements today and am astounded by the changes. I knew I'd gone down a pant size or two. I've lost a total of 17.25 inches overall. I'm measuring neck, breast, chest, waist, hips, upper thigh, calf…

I am finally overweight!!
Today's weigh-in proved it... I am overweight. And I couldn't be happier!!!!!! I hit the 26 lb. loss mark today and finally dipped below the "obese" mark on the BMI calculator. I'm so excited and am loving the way my clothes fit now and the new things I have been able to buy. Next stop... "HEALTHY"!!!!:drinker:

Famous Dave's for supper
We're going to Famous Dave's tonight for my husband's birthday. I'm trying to find something somewhat healthy to eat since I have my BL weigh-in tomorrow and don't want to blow it since I did so well last week. After looking at their menu and finding some of the calorie counts... I'm scared!!! What can I eat? I'm not a…

Right now is the hardest time...
I'm working late, haven't had any supper, am running out of "good" snacks and starting to graze on everything. It's a great incentive to work faster, get stuff done and get home to work out! So what am I doing here? EXACTLY!!!! See ya!

Working out stalling the weight loss?
I've done a couple searches on this and found a little information but I just wanted to confirm a couple of things I found. I started on MFP mid-January and changed my eating habits. I lost pounds and have been ecstatic! I recently added working out (two weeks ago) and the weight loss has seemed to stall. I usually work…

So excited...
Ok - a couple of years ago, someone gave me a pair of really cute jeans that I have never been able to wear. They are my size (in number only) but have narrow thighs and they just never fit. They were tight with a capital "T" and forget about wearing them to work. Today is casual day at work (every Friday) and I didn't…

Female "Stuff"
I'm not sure where to ask this but here it goes. Has anyone had changes in their cycles since beginning their weight loss journey? Granted I'm only 9 lbs. into mine but it seems like there's been a "disturbance in the force" so to speak. :blushing: I know I'm not preggo and I've always been super regular. Anyone else had…

Trying not to jinx it...
It's almost too good to be true so I don't want to jinx it but I can't help but be excited. We started a biggest loser contest at my work last Wednesday, Jan. 13. The winner's pot certainly motivated me ($480) but it's been a long time coming. When I stepped on the scale and saw 198 lbs. I just about cried. I changed my…
