My calorie levels are starting to drop now that my appetite has leveled out.1

My husband, Bless him, brought not one, but TWO bars of the hand made turkish delight in milk chocolate that he knows I love. I looked at them and said, "I just joined the April challenge. It was a lovely thought. How about we put them away until May?" Which he did.
The biggest victory: I didn't even want to eat them. In the past, I would have had them out of his hands faster than the Flash and eaten an entire bar in one sitting.3 -
The current blood pressure thread on this forum reminds me of a recent trip i had to the cardiologist. It was my annual visit with my longtime doctor. His nurse took my vitals and then she took them again - with a worried look on her face. My resting heart rate was in the 40's (about 20 BPM less than last year)! Something must be wrong!
Well, it turns out that all of my hard work and clean living was the cause. I have been working out with increasing intensity for over 3 years. I guess the results are materializing. A resting heart rate in the 40s is normal for a fit athlete - two words I haven't been able to use to describe myself before this point. All is well. I have no physical ailment causing this low heart rate. I am just, finally, in pretty good shape.
That's awesome!!!0 -

i posted these on the april challenge thread too but:
walked out of the panadería today with a box full of pastry (for my students) and hadn't the slightest urge to take a bite!
same with my kiddo's easter basket from our landlords - gave her one piece of chocolate, put the rest in the cupboard and carried on.
freedom!1 -

This morning as my wife was taking my donated clothes to her hospital's "emergency closet" I said I would do the same thing with warm weather clothes if it ever warms up. She said good she had seen some cute clothes in the men's sections this spring. Clothes are not really my thing but I don't recall cute, clothes and me used in the same sentence before.
that's pretty dang adorable.0 -

You wouldn't faze the crowd at Whole Foods. They are too busy reading labels, drinking wine/beer samples, and arguing with the deli lady.

Just LOL'd and the people in the hall outside my office are looking at me. Great job on the blood work, though.1 -
For Christmas my grandmother bought me two pairs of jeans that fit like they were a size smaller, so they didn't fit. I've been trying them on for the last few weeks and today, they fit! The scale hasn't moved in the last week, but apparently my body has, I'll measure tomorrow, but the jeans fit!5

I think my most noteworthy NSV is that for the first time in 5 years I can slip on and off my wedding rings! Haven't worn them all that time because had to take them off (big problem and had to get another ring cut off) for oral surgery and couldn't get them back on.3

Similar thing here. My wife and I had to switch our rings to our middle fingers and when someone notices they think we're having marital difficulties.0 -
Finally got my VAP (lipid panel) results (after 2 friggin weeks): I no longer have any of the markers for metabolic syndrome. HDL is up, TG is down, and my LDL looks fine (big and fluffy).

I can relate. I switched my ring to the other hand so it would stay on. That seemed to bother my wife. I switched it back and started lifting weights so I have a callous right by my ring that keeps it on.1 -
Wabmester--Excellent! It's so great to get good news.0

Thanks! It's good to be normal. Now the hard part -- keeping the numbers in the normal range long term. 0

Just had a big NSV. Last night, I went to Walmart, I was wanting to see what size shirt I could fit in. Last Dec 20th, I went to Texas to visit my adult children and we went to a store and was hoping to purchase a 2X shirt.
I outlined it here on the Keto group.
2X wouldn't fit!
For the last 13 years I was a 3X. I had to buy them online, because it was hard to find stores that had that size (its easier now, because of the fat epidemic, and stores finally wised up to it).
Fast forward to last night: I bought a 2X, and a couple 1X (extra large) shirts and tried them on at home. I figured if the 1X was too small, I could wear them in another couple months. The 2X fit really easy, which, I wondered, can I get into an extra large?
Well, lets see:
YAHOOO! It wasn't tight! Down 2 shirt sizes since last year!

Twice in the last two days friends have made comments on the weight I have lost. I still don't see it much, so it's nice to hear that something must be happening!2

For the first time in forever I didn't stress eat. I have a major test coming up tomorrow, and my boyfriend of over a year just broke up with me, still didn't reach for the food, in fact I couldn't eat at all.2
