5'9"...50lbs down!!
I started my journey in September of 2010. I found MFP in February after I had lost nearly 20lbs on my own. It is with sheer joy that I have lost another 30+lbs since then. I am so thankful for the chance to lose the weight, make an impact with my friends and family, and pay it forward to the community. I started out…

Newbies!!!
I started this journey September 2010. Since then have lost 48lbs. My biggest regret? I didn't take "before" pictures or measurements. I have now before starting 30DS. I learned my lesson. My advice to you: TAKE MEASUREMENTS AND PHOTOS. You will regret it if you don't. Yes, they are intimidating if you hate your…

If money were no issue.....
So, I was showering and I got bored....which I tend to do from time to time. Got me to thinking about conversations I have had lately. Mostly about the stuff you would/wouldn't do if money were not issue. I don't mean the obvious things that you might think.....like buying things you have always wanted. I'm talking about…

Another before and during :)
Started this journey of mine in September of 2010 and since, have lost 45lbs. I ran across a picture of myself from August 2010 and thought I needed another comparison photo :happy: I have gotten here by eating less, exercising more, and lots of encouragement from all the wonderful people I have met since I joined here in…

Big Brother
Anyone watch Big Brother? I live for summertime just to watch this show! :happy: Who do you think will be going home this week? Who do you want to see win? Who is your favorite/least favorite player? I love Jeff and Jordan. I really liked them the first go round and like them just as much now. My least favorite would have…

Divorced with Children?????
So, lots of drama and wanted to see if it is just me being unreasonable or if I have room to be displeased. (to put it nicely) My ex-husband and his wife carry insurance on my son. I took him to the doctor yesterday and they gave me a check for 2 copays that I have paid while visiting. They said there is no copay since the…

Before and (Almost) after :)
So, I found a snapshot from one of my heighest weights. Was almost embarassed when I ran across it, but it does show how far I have come and serves as a great reminder to NEVER return to where I came from. Just thought I would share :happy:

self image books????
Ok, I am about 5lbs away from goal and want to focus on some toning from there. My main problem has become my self image. I was always the overweight black sheep of the family. My sisters once called me the "ugly duckling" and said I turned into the swan. I was made fun of a lot when I was younger. The fat kid with…

old vs new ME :)
Hopefully this will work. This is me at nearly my highest (which was 210) and me this morning (at 170). I am not done, but am getting close. I have gone from 16/18 to a 12. I have a pair of size 10s too and they fit, but I am not comfortable enough to call myself a 10 :wink: In this photo, the old me is facing off with the…

And I though NEVER (pic)
I have tried many times to lose weight and had come to the conclusion I was destined to just be fat. Well, that all changed in September 2010. I decided that would be the last time I would start a weightloss journey, because this time I would finish. Never again would I have to start over!! Every other time, seemed like…

Getting there (pic)
Hope this works, never done it before. I have worked really hard to get this far, and will continue until I am happy with what I see......hopefully soon! :happy:

Pet Peeve
Anyone have a pet peeve that almost seems to control you? I try so hard not to be anal about it, but I absolutely cannot stand mouth noises. When I am around people and they are eating, I cringe if they make noises. If I am at home and my boyfriend is eating, I go to youtube and put in my earphones until he is done eating.…

Step it Up!!
I am currently doing Zumba 4-5 days a week. I also have the old Winsor Pilates dvd that I started doing 2-3 times/week for core strength. I do the dvds.....Cardio Party on MWF and Sculpt and Tone on TTh. I am looking to start more toning, since I am approaching goal and am not at all happy with the firmness of my…

S-U-C-C-E-S-S!!!!
I started this journey (without MFP) on Sept 8th 2010. I knew then that this time I was serious!! Since then I have lost 28lbs, quickly approaching my 30 mark. I, in the last 10 days or so, have noticed so many changes in my body! I can flex now and see a bicep :) I can lay flat on my bed and my stomach is flat My thigh…

Jazzercise???
Has anyone done jazzercise? My sister and I are looking for some more routines to keep us active. We are currently doing the zumba dvds, but are curious what else out there that people are really into. I am not the most coordinated person, so it is hard for me to do a lot of feet and hand things while moving around in…

Special K Cracker Chips
Saw a commercial on television the other day for some new Special K cracker chips. Thought they looked delicious and they advertised that they only have 110 calories in a serving. Much to my surprise, their serving size is 27 chips!! I was amazed. I don't usually let my snacks be that large, so figured that is just…

GOAL SHORTS
The warmer weather had gotten me curious. At the end of last summer, I bought a pair of "goal shorts." I have been a size 16..... probably pushing 18 at times, for 9 years since I had my son. I bought the shorts at a garage sale because I had started working on my transformation. My goal shorts were a size 12!! I was…
