You all should be so proud of your selves.
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.0 -
Not losing weight sadly, but I am getting MUCH stronger - learning how to do pull ups and muscle ups and do olympic lifts. I can suck my tummy in better too ;-)0

I have not lost much weight at all. But, I finally lost some inches. I lost 1 inch off of my hips and idk how much off of my thighs. But now all of my size 6 pants are saggy in the legs and butt. I don't own anything smaller so its time to go shopping! Size 4 here I come!
I also lost back fat.
I have not lost any inches off of my stomach in the past few months so, I'm hoping that it goes away next!0 -
(*) (*) Major NSV Today! (*) (*)
I finished physical therapy today, and I can run again! It has been exactly 6 months and 1 day since my initial ankle sprain! It has been a long and bumpy road to recovery, I even resprained it when it was almost healed. But today I ran for 8 minutes on the treadmill without pain. I haven't ran in months. I had to do modified workouts to avoid hurting my ankle. But now, I can run and jump again! My physical therapist even told me my "bad" ankle actually looked better than the "good" one that wasn't sprained. Haha.
I feel so happy I could almost cry! I miss running so much, running is like a part of me and who I am. I still have to start small, shorter distances on level ground then work my way up. But the main thing is that I can run again! I can jump again! I am free of my injury weighing me down!0 -
Getting back into clothes I haven't been able to wear for months!0

Had 5 pairs of Pants sitting out that i bought last year. (Last year none of them fit) I tired them on today so i could get them hemmed and to my surprise 2 pairs were too big. I went from not being able to button or zipper them to now donated them. What a great feeling. I guess losing 40 inches really makes a difference. Sometimes i forget about the inches because i focus to much on the scale.0

Last night I jogged for one hour, my longest time ever. Speed was slow but I am not worried about speed just building endurance at this point, speed will come later.

The owner of our boot camp instructed a class last night and noticed I am trimmer and my weight loss really shows 0

People have noticed I now own more than one pair of pants and sweat clothes. LOL
Full photo including (including occupant
) to follow – once 38” is reached (or) February 2015 – whichever happens first. I have been forced to buy clothes a couple times and now holding off until final goal is reached. DOWN 151 pounds!

Even though it involves a scale, I'm still going to say it's a nsv.
So on Monday I went to the dr for an appt. You know how they weigh you with one of those tall weight machines that have the weights at the top - a small one that goes to 150 lbs and the large one underneath that has the larger weight and notches at 150lb increments.
Well the nurse obviously has to take a quick guess on what to start with, right? So I was very happy when she assumed that I was under 150 lbs since she didn't even move the big weight to the 150 lb pound notch first but started with the small weight on top.
I ended up being just over 150 lbs (about 154) but was happy to see that she thought I was under 150 lbs.

Is nice to read the changes that everyone is seeing Several nice things for me for this week:
First time under 100kg in 20 years.
Today I hit 99.6kg so I've left the obese bmi now.
Bought new better fitting clothes this week, feel goodin them,some of them don't have any X's on the size labels.0 -
I took photos today that I compared with ones I took in August and I could actually see a big difference which was nice

Having clothing issues, everything now looks too baggy for my taste... and I don't wan't to buy new clothes yet before I reach maintenance weight.
Found an old pair of jeans from a decade ago that fits perfectly though.
I keep punching holes in my belts but have to start over after a few weeks...
Never thought I'd have to complain about weight loss consequences 0 -

I ran into the same thing. I bought "some" clothes...including a suit I didn't want to buy but absolutely needed for one occasion. I only wore it for that occasion and sold it on eBay for a decent price (I still had my receipts etc.). As for belts, I had the local shoe repair place punch addit. holes for me (cost $2.00 for mult. holes in 2 belts) - they also will cut & re-buckle for $10. -- guess it depends on how much your belt cost etc. - just a thought.
Congrats on your success. What a nice complaint to have...:)

Thanks for the tip, it beats pulling out the dremel each time and it probably looks better.
Anyway, I guess I'll have to buy a few "transition" clothes sooner or later...
Congrat's on your weight loss too, pretty impressive!
