NSV at Victoria's Secret
After losing over 50 lbs. I decided to treat myself to new underpinnings at Victoria Secret. I haven't been sized for a bra in, well EVER so I wasn't sure what size. I picked up a 38D and went to the fitting room and the girl working back there asked me what size I wore - I said I was trying on a 38D - she tilted her head…

2/3 of the way there! 50 lbs. lost with pic
Here goes nothing. I started out at the beginning of August 2012 weighing 225 lbs. I have lost 50 and would like to lose 25 more.

When it happens it's always on the 2nd run of the day's line up. I just shut it off and used the stopwatch on my iPhone instead. I was…

I picked out a couple of pairs of size 12 skinny jeans and took them into the dressing room. I looked at one of the pairs and knew I might as well not bother trying them on because they were…

What do you know - I'm a third of the way there!
Well for full disclosure my realistic goal weight is 150 but I'd love to be 140 (my stretch goal - I'm 5'7"). I just realized that as of today I've lost 26 pounds so I'm a third of the way to my realistic goal. I feel like with MFP that it has been so much easier to get this far than my other weight loss attempts so this…
