500 Days on MFP - 86 pounds lost - pic heavy!
Today I celebrate my 500th day anniversary of joining MFP. In retrospect, this journey has been much easier than I thought. I was not overweight my whole life. After high school, I let myself go, and although I thought I was happy even though I was fat - that's possible, you know! - I know now that I never really was.…

2 Years and still going - a new perspective
OK, so I'm six weeks short of two years, but this was too good to pass up. I was asked by a former professor of mine to come speak to her undergraduate health class about my weight loss. She has another woman come every semester and talk about her experience with gastric bypass, and thought it would be great for me to come…

Lunch choices...
So, since I had to leave work at lunch to go pick up my husband and take him to work, I decided I was going to run to the local grocery store and get some chinese take-out. It tastes good, and the nutrition info is online since it's a chain store (Hy-vee) so I know it's not too horrific calorie-wise. After I dropped him…

Force Feeding the Former Fatty
Does anyone else have problems with your coworkers, friends, and family constantly trying to tell you (in that condescending tone) that "you can HAVE one piece of cake"? I swear, I'm about ready to flip my lid at the next person that pulls this!!! I guess I just feel like when I was fatter, they agreed that I should lose…

One year = 75 pounds lighter
One year ago today I came home from a routine doctor's appointment with the highest recorded weight ever. I had gone to the appointment thinking I must have lost some weight since my previous appointment just 4 months prior because I FELT skinnier. Boy, was I wrong. I had gained another 15 pounds. My husband was playing…

Motivation in the strangest places....
There is nothing like walking around your local Wal-Mart at 8pm on a Wednesday night to get you back on track. With so many women walking around(or better yet, riding around on a scooter), bulging out of their stretch pants, with their stomachs hanging out, in their pjs, with labored breathing as they reach for the frozen…

HELP!!! I've hit a wall!!!
OK, so I've been going GREAT for 5 months now and I've lost 50 pounds!!! But idk if it's the weather (I'm in the midwest US), or the changes in daylight, the yummy foods all over tv, or what, but I've hit a MAJOR motivational wall. It's as if I have completely forgotten what losing 50 pounds feels like and I just want to…
