My face! Pics :)
I just thought I would post some pics here. I'm about halfway to my goal of 140. I started at 204 last July. I've gotten some compliments recently from friends on Facebook. Since I don't live near them anymore they haven't been able to see my progress & I sometimes forget that there's much of a difference. I'm just so…

No meat food ideas
I have a 7 year old daughter that has recently decided she doesn't want to eat meat. She will eat some but most of the time I have to beg and plead with her to eat her meat. She started this fairly recently, about a couple weeks to a month ago. Now, I usually just say this is what is for dinner so eat it. If I want to make…

Vintage Style?
I've never really had much of a "style"- I have always pretty much just worn t-shirts & jeans. I still always tried to look presentable & wore make up and stuff but I was always pretty plain. I've been thinking about how I want to present myself when I'm done losing weight. I have found myself leaning towards more vintage…

Red hair
I don't dye my hair much and was wondering if anyone had some opinions on me going red. I have naturally brown hair with a bit of auburn. I have read that red can be harder to take care of but I have kind of always wanted to try it at least once. I'm adding pics for a better visual. Here are some pictures of me: Here is…

Hell on Wheels
Just heard a commercial for this new show & was just wondering- Am I the only one that hears Ted Levine: But sees THIS: It doesn't matter who he is playing (I used to watch Monk too) all I can think of is "It rubs the lotion on its skin."

Halfway there- 27lbs gone! (pics)
I started MFP on July 17th. I've lost almost 30 lbs so far and have 30 more to go! I am so excited with the changes that I have seen in me. I know that at many times in my life I had decided I was just going to be fat & I needed to come to terms with that. I am so glad I didn't listen to that little voice. :smile: I weigh…

Supinator/ weak ankles
I have been doing some reading on why I have troubles with my knees. They pop & crack all the time & I often have pain when I am bending them a lot (up & down stairs etc.) I have found that I supinate. I have had problems with my ankle since I was young. I know that since I was in middle school every so often I would fall…

Bubble Gum in a Jug
I haven't had it since I was really little & I just got the strongest craving for this stuff: Just thought it was a weird craving & where the heck did it come from... :laugh:

Changing Faces June '11 to Oct. '11
Even though I have lost over 20lbs since June I still tend to scrutinize myself in the mirror. One of my absolutely BIGGEST issues is my double chin. I could swear that even though my clothes sizes have went down my double chin has not budged. So, I decided to compare some pictures. The first one is from June 27, 2011- the…

My most recent NSVs
I bought the smallest pair of pants I have had since at least 2007- I actually don't even remember the last time I wore this size. Yay! & a kind of funny one. I usually try to avoid public restrooms at all costs, but tonight I had had so much water I couldn't help it. I was at Walmart & can never bring myself to sit fully…

Good Mood!
I am listening to some 80s music on Pandora & I'm in such a good mood. I have so much energy & I just want to turn up my music & dance for no reason! I'm so hyper!:laugh: I don't get like this often & I just wanted to share! :happy:

Getting old?
A news channel website that I "like" updated their Facebook page with this: Lunchtime Laughs: Feeling old every time you look in the mirror? Well, feel better about yourself after you take a look at some celebs who are looking a lot worse. And THEY had access to surgery, make-up artists, personal trainers, private chefs...…

20lbs down in 11 weeks (pic)
I started on June 24th at 204lbs, BMI 32.9 (obese). I weighed in today and am now 183.8lbs, BMI 29.7 (overweight). I haven't weighed this in at least 3 years. I never thought I would be so happy to be overweight! Now, I just can't wait for what the next 3 months will bring!!:happy:

You know what I just realized?
I haven't been getting bloated. Before I started making healthier choices nearly every time I ate I got bloated. It was so bad that I could go into the bathroom, look in the mirror & swear I looked pregnant. My portion sizes were out of control. I don't immediately feel like taking a nap after eating either. It's a small…

How much should I lose
I need help. I am trying to make some goals for myself other than just the main big number on the scale. I can't really decide what is best. I was going to make my goal to lose 25 lbs by the end of December. I started at 204 & am now at 192. I was planning on writing down my goal as losing 5 lbs a month to put me down to…

Deep fried....butter?
I just read this article: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/32665106/ns/today-food/t/move-over-twinkies-deep-fried-butter-here/#.Tj1eO4J6MxE and it kind of just grosses me out..a lot. I know that there are plenty of people that love all of these deep fried thing (cookies, candy bars, kool-aid, etc.) I just wonder if there is…

Why can't everyone decide to be healthy when I do?
OK, so I know that's NOT going to happen. I have been doing really good eating lately and tonight my fiance asks me to make him something for dessert. (I love baking & cake decorating although I haven't been doing it lately.) So, I just figured I'd look for some recipes that I can make with ingredients that we have here. I…

A 5K....really?
Ok, I just decided to do C25K. I did my first day yesterday. When I started I had not even been thinking about doing an ACTUAL 5K it was mainly just to get into running for weight loss. Then someone asked me if I was going to sign up for a race & I thought that's crazy. But, now I'm beginning to think that it's not so…

C25K
Hi! I am new to this site and very new to just exercising in general. I started 30DS in June but I keep seeing people talk about this Couch to 5K and was just wondering what's it about and how it's worked for people who have tried it. I have always wanted to be a "runner" and haven't been able to keep any kind of jogging…

My pop (soda) doesn't taste the same anymore?
When I made the decision to start losing weight I decided that I needed to start drinking my daily water intake before any other beverage. It was hard to get used to at first because I used to do good to get 30-40 oz of anything daily let alone water. Last week I had all of my water and had decided to drink some coke with…
