Ran my first marathon
A year and a half after I started running, I have finally finished my first ever marathon. I started at 236lb in April last year, and took around a year bringing my weight down by 63lb. Recent events in my life have seen the focus slip more than once, and my weight has threatened to creep back up, but I have managed for…

I was offered a job as a male escort this week
A few days ago, I replied to a job listing for bar work. Oddly, the ad requested a photo and said the job offered "great money". A couple of days later I received a phone call asking how old I am and what I do for a living. All became clear when the nice chap admitted that he runs not a bar but an escort service. I…

Photo: trying on my old fat jeans
I found an old pair of jeans from before I started on MFP (38 inch waist; I'm now down to 32 inches). I couldn't believe how roomy they were considering *they actually used to be tight on me!* Also, why not show you guys how P90X has been treating me for the last couple of months (I don't follow the nutrition plan because…

Reached my target! Down 61lbs
Today I reached my target! I started 236.2 pounds and I am now 174.2 pounds. I finished a half marathon distance run and came home to this lovely surprise. My waist also came down from 38" to 32". MyFitnessPal has been AWESOME in helping. I also used Couch to 5K, EA Sports Active 2 and I am 2/3rds through P90X. My thanks…

Finished my first 10K Race! (with pictures)

If you're even considering something like this, just go for it. I've gone from chunky cake-fiend to running 10K in a few short months. Here are both my…

Some progress pics to celebrate my upcoming 10K race!
I'm running my first charity 10K race this weekend. This is something of a milestone for me since I only started c25k in May this year. That plus this site has led to some awesome weight loss progress. Go on, have a stare: Larger: http://i.imgur.com/GGztE.jpg Edit: sorted the pic size!

25 lbs shed with photos
Today I reached my first mini goal by getting down to less than 15 stone (I am now at 209.2lbs). Here is me, at the beginning at the year and now. Even though the "before" pics are dated February, it would be another couple of months before I started my new regime so results so far have been surprisingly quick. The biggest…

Newbie from Edinburgh
Howdy, peoples I've been using MFP for a month and feel I ought to say hello. So far I've lost 11lbs and it's been much, much easier than I thought it would be. For anyone looking to start from scratch (and I mean from scratch; my activity level before MFP was "comatose") I can vouch for 3 things: 1. MFP, obviously. It's…
