Comparison album in the comments :)

My starting weight was 165 lbs so I'm down just over 17 lbs.

I joined a gym, started counting my calories on MFP, and tried to exercise daily. When I first got back into running, I could barely run a mile. I'm not a great runner and I never have been, but earlier this week I ran 4 miles nonstop in 40 minutes and that felt fantastic. I started lifting and feel like I'd like to branch out and try other things too, so I'll be doing a trial membership at a local boxing gym soon.

I dropped from a size 8-10 to a pretty solid 4. I have a l

Mother's day junk food combined with a few days of bad weather pushed me into a few days of missed exercise and overeating. I feel a bit bad I'm up a few lbs, but I'm going to forgive myself and get back to it.

Finding more of the crabs in a bucket mentality and it's a bummer. I get a lot of support too, but I think people are more prone to remembering negative experiences than positive ones.

On a positive note, I encouraged one of my friends to start getting into shape and she's made fantastic progress so far. I'm really excited for her!

It's been a rough day and I just stayed home and ate cereal and chocolate. I'm going to try to make myself go for a run since exercise usually makes me feel better.

I hit another plateau, but I think it's because I'm gaining muscle and losing fat. I mostly use machines at the gym, and for most of them I went up two weights from where I started about a month ago. I hope that makes sense because I'm not really sure how else to describe it.

I have more energy than I used to and am able to run much longer without stopping. I run the same route of about 2 miles as when I started BTFC every other day. I used to take 4 breaks to walk, now I'm down to just one.

Got over a plateau by cutting down on calories. I joined a gym and go every other day, but run cardio in between. I’ve been frustrated lately that my sizes aren’t dropping. My clothes feel more or less the same and it’s a bummer :(

I want to go out to eat sometimes but it’s hard finding options that don’t exceed my calorie limit of roughly 400 calories per meal with snacks in between.

New York has a calorie count law where if a chain restaurant has more than 15 locations, they have to list the calories on the menu. I don’t live in NY anymore but I miss that measure.

I used to sometimes go to the Cheesecake Factory with family and almost always ordered pasta. Now I realize almost every pa

It's difficult for me to constantly be around junk food and ignore it, so while I don't personally buy it, my family does. I went over my MFP calorie limit a few times since my last update. To be honest I'm a little surprised that I lost weight!

I tend to get some resistance from friends and family when I start to focus on getting in shape. Nobody in my family is obese, but we're all varying degrees of overweight.

Within the last few days, one of my uncles told me I'm walking my dog too much (about 2-3 miles a day) and another uncle being insistent that I eat pizza even though I politely said no and explained I'm trying to get fit.

They're great guys, but I've noticed that a lot of people tend to give unsolicited input on your diet and lifestyle when you focus on losing weight. I'm used to it because this isn't my first time trying to get fit, but I admit that I do still find it a bit frustrating, and I think it helps to vent

This is my first day of clean eating and logging my foods in Myfitnesspal again. I've been running daily (though a short distance) for almost a week now, and I'm beginning to feel that I have more energy. I always tend to lose a lot at first before slowing down to more gradual weight loss after a few days, but I guess that's just what tends to happen when you transition from overeating to more reasonable portions.
