I ran a 5k!!!
Definite NSV! Yesterday I ran the Firecracker 5000 5k! It took me 45 minutes but I finished under the cutoff time and I didn't throw upor cry or pass out. MY first ever race and I finished it running!

How do I get my husband moving?
I'm beyond frustrated with my husband right now. I've been focusing on better eating, exercising, and trying to get our family healthy. He's been pretty supportive throughout, but will make no effort on himself! He rides his bike to work most days, a fifteen minute mostly coasting trip, and wonders why he's not losing…

Do you get scared of your weight loss?
I'm really starting to see and feel the changes in my body. I'm at the cusp of 30 pounds lost, and all those lower numbers that seemed so far away when I started seem so much closer now. In a few weeks I'll be in the 170s, which I haven't seen in 2-3 years, and after that is 160s which has been literally 5 years. I was…

Helloooo 180's!!
I finally broke out of my 190's rut this morning and weighed in at 188! I haven't been this weight in years, maybe 2 or even 3. I'm so excited!

NSV! Someone Noticed!
I saw my (oblivious teenaged) brother today for the first time in a few weeks and he asked if I'd lost weight. :D I haven't made much if any progress on the scale lately so it's nice to know something is changing. Just wanted to share.

NSV! Day 4 of 30DS
I did Day 4 of 30DS! I tried 30DS last summer and only made it through day 3 before coming up with some excuse as to why I couldn't do it that day, then the next, then the next. On May 1st I started again and I made it through Day 4 tonight! It was hard, and I didn't want to do it, and I whined on here, but I did it! Now…

Feeding Non-Vegans ;)
We had four very good friends over for dinner tonight. As a Mother's Day gift my partner made vegan chili for the first time. We fed it to our friends without informing them it was meatless. Everyone had seconds and were very surprised when we told them it was vegan. It was really good chili! So it's possible to easily…

Question
If your parents rented a billboard to congratulate you on your wedding, how would you feel? How would you feel as an innocent bystander? Ridiculous? Over the top? Cute?

Tracking B12?
Is there any way to track my B12? Either through MFP or through another site?

I need some motivation
I need to do a round of 30 Day Shred before bed, but I just don't want to. It's day 4, the last time I tried 30DS I only got as far as Day 3. I feel like I've hit the wall again. Help!

Headache after working out?
I'm on Day 3 of the 30 Day Shred and every time after I finish I get a headache. Obviously I am severely out of shape and I understand about shortness of breath and elevated heart rate. But I also get shaky and have a headache and sometimes nauseous. I don't have a history of high blood pressure, I just had a physical…

Just want to say...
I'm loving being vegetarian and almost entirely vegan! I haven't had meat in two weeks, and I've cut all dairy out completely. The only item I've struggled to get rid of is eggs. But regardless, I feel so much better and happier and healthier! I'm loving this new lifestyle and how much better I feel. Yay! My entire family…

Big NSV
I have been cigarette free for six weeks today! After 10 years of smoking on and off, I've kicked the habit and hope to stay quit. I used Chantix to quit initially, but have been off that for three weeks. I've had very few cravings and I barely remember that I used to smoke. lol Smoking was definitely holding me back from…
-
NSV I walked my puppy!
We got a new puppy a week and a half ago, and today I took him for a walk. 1.28 miles. I plan to do it every day from now on, and I'm really looking forward to it! Of all the equipment I've bought over the years to "help" me work out, having someone else rely on you for their health and exercise seems to be the best…

Losing Weight for the Military/AF
My goal for many years, since I was in high school, has been to join the military. There are many reasons, but it is very important to me and I'm determined to do it or die. That said, I'm 5'2" and weigh 200 pounds. I'm 50 pounds away from my max weight (150lbs) to join the Air Force, the branch I'm aiming for. I've…

21 pounds lost and reached another goal!
I had a great week, I lost another 4 pounds and reached another goal, just a week after hitting my goal of Onederland. At 195, I am now at the weight I was the day before my son was born four and a half years ago. I've been lower than this since then, but I'm excited to see that number once more. My next goal is 187, what…
-
Damn I look good today!
Going shopping in your closet is awesome! Was able to wear a really nice button down shirt that has been too small for about 9 months! I am smokin' hot today! :smokin: Just had to share, everyone else is still asleep. :laugh: That is all.
-
Good Morning Onederland!!
Finally! I still can't believe this is working. I haven't been under 200 in...a year? At least. Now on to my next goal! :drinker:

Annoying NSV
The one pair of capris I have are now too big! They're ridiculously baggy, which I finally realized today when I had to cinch my belt so tight to keep them up. Of course, I realized this after I put them on and wore them out in public. Is there a facepalm smiley?? :laugh:
-
What do you measure?
Since I've started this journey, I've only been recording what the scale says. I haven't been doing much exercise so it's mostly been diet, but I'm about to restart 30DS, some walking, and a few strength training exercises. I know the scale won't necesarily reflect my progress because of building muscle. So I want to keep…
-
Someone Noticed! NSV!
I picked up my son from pre-school today, and the principal asked me if I'd been losing weight, because I looked great! :love: :drinker: When I told her how much I'd lost, she began asking me all about MFP and what I was doing and if it was hard and wasn't I STARVING all the time?? :laugh: This is the first person besides…
-
New Friends?
I would love to add some more friends to my support team, and in turn support others. The best thing about MFP is the community, and I'd love to add to mine. :) I'm 25, I've lost 16 pounds so far, have (at least) 70 more pounds to lose, I track every day, and try to leave encouraging messages whenever possible. Nice to…

YES! Scale Victory!
Okay, I've had a rough week. I missed my goal of under 200 on Thursday morning for my 5th wedding anniversary. I've been out a couple of times with friends and had wine and beer. I've been missing my exercise days. I tracked faithfully everyday, but also went over consistently. Basically, the worst week you could think of…
-
I missed my goal
By 3.6 pounds. My first MFP goal was to hit Onederland by today, my fifth wedding anniversary. This morning I weighed in at 203.5. I'm really disappointed and beating myself up for not pushing hard enough to hit this. I also think my splurge over the weekend and my imprecise portion control contributed to my failure. Today…

What Day 1 looks like!
For those wanting to start an exercise program, any one, not just 30DS, here's what Day 1 looks like. 30 Day Shred Day 1 If I can do it, you can do it! Today is the day!

Almost There!!!
I'm only 3 pounds away from meeting my first goal!!! Onederland, here I come!!

Holding feet for Situps
I've been doing a situp program three nights a week, and my husband holds my feet for me. He's gone to bed early tonight, though, so what can I use to keep my feet down?!

Low or Sugar Free Yogurt?
I love having yogurt for breakfast! I stopped buying Yoplait because they use high fructose corn syrup to flavor even their fat-free yogurt. I've been eating organic Stonyfield Farm 0% fat yogurt, but it has 25grams of sugar in it, even if it's "better" sugar! Is there a good, non sugary yogurt out there? Doesn't have to…

NSV for me!
I've been reluctant to post NSV's, because I feel like it should be something really good and unusual. But today I finally have one! I have been tracking everything I eat for 25 days, without missing a single day or meal! I've managed to stick with this even when things have gotten hectic, and even on days when I ate like…

Discouraged
I started the 200 Sit ups program http://www.twohundredsitups.com/ three weeks ago now, on the lowest level. The first two weeks went by quickly and I really seemed to be improving, but on Day 3 of Week 2 I knew I wasn't ready to move on to Week 3, so this week I repeated the last day of Week 2 for the three nights I do…
