1 Year, 121 lbs gone. PICS!
iamuniqueiam has logged in for 365 days in a row! I can't believe a year has passed since I joined MFP! And I really can't believe I've lost 121 lbs in the past year! I didn't take an official "starting" pic because...well....because I didn't think I would be successful. I figured I'd fail just like every other time I…

The great candy cane debate
A broken candy cane only has half the calories of an unbroken one. Santa makes it so. If he doesn't bestow this lower calorie incentive the world would be full of lonely, unloved and uneaten broken candy canes. True, yes?

Don't you just hate it when...

I Ran!
OMG!! I just did Week 4 Day 1 on C25K. I mean, I DID IT!! There are 2 5-minute run sections in my version for week 4 along with 2 3-minute ones and I actually did it without stopping or anything! I have NEVER run for 5 minutes in my life, much less doing it twice in a 20 minute span. Unfrigginbelievable. Sorry to be…

My journey so far....100 lbs down.
I reached a milestone today. I've officially lost 100 lbs. 101.5 actually. As a dear MFP friend pointed out, I didn't just hit the 100 lb lost mark, I blew right past it. I'm not gonna bore anyone with my life story or the excuses I used to justify why I weighed over 300 lbs. Eventually I saw my life for what it was and…

You know it's time for smaller workout clothes when...
...you are doing a downward dog and one of your puppies slips out and whaps you in the nose. I really should have been completely mortified, but strangely enough I wasn't. I just thought to myself "well... there's a NSV for the world to see", re-harnessed the wayward pup and soldiered on. But please tell me I'm not the…

Looking for friends who are also in it for the long haul!
I'm a married mom with 2 university age sons. I lost a ton of weight 2 years ago and then slammed it all back on again. I've always had a fairly healthy diet...I don't buy stuff in boxes or cans or eat at fast food places, but I do overeat, A LOT. I'm also an emotional eater when I'm under stress. I cook well, bake well…
