As i got back to the house at the end of my run today, my wife didn't recognise me. She said my body shape and gait have completely changed

I ran a half marathon a week and a half ago. It was the second I've done in my life, the first being in 2013. I had hoped to do 2 or 3 in 2014 but fell off the training wagon and put on some pounds.

Getting this first one done so early in 2015 has given me the desire to hammer out a couple more this year and to improve my time in each one. Already looking at dates in April and October.

This isn't a weight related one because I just started...BUT...my mom (God love her) has always been borderline verbally abusive when it comes to my weight. So I told her my daughter was thinking of stopping dancing because she wanted to concentrate on singing, swimming, and other pursuits. To which my mother replied "Don't let her stop dancing or she's going to get fat, like you are. Remember how pretty you were?"...and off she went on her usual weight related rant.

Now in the past that would've sent me into tears and in search of the nearest bottle of alcohol or a big huge popcorn size bowl of ice cream.

Not today. Today I felt more in control. I rolled my eyes, changed the subject, and here I am.

For the first time in a long time I didn't reach for a bottle, didn't reach for comfort food. I felt like I'm taking steps to deal with the weight (as frustrating as they are from my other posts), but I'm doing something.

So yeah, not really a physical thing/weight thing...but the idea that I actually felt in control and not destroyed yet again by what she was saying...this was huge for me.

Hardest lesson (in life, not just fitness/weight loss) for me to learn: You can't control other people's behavior; you can only control the way you react to it. Good for you.

I bought this dress around the end of March last year. I haven't worn it since June so I wore it yesterday for a work event. I happened to take a picture in the dressing room and text it to my boyfriend when I bought it, so I found that photo on my phone and had to compare. It's weird that the dress is longer now? It wasn't a bad fit then because it is a flattering style but I just feel like it fits so much better now. So yeah, 25 lbs is the scale victory, but being able to compare like this? Such a bigger victory for me.

I can climb a tree again! We had about 8 inches of snow last week and the trees were so pretty. I decided to see if I could climb up so my husband could a pic of me and I did it! I want to see if I can climb with spikes and a lanyard now!

Being able to go back to my doctor for a 6 month checkup and NOT being given the "you must lose weight" speech and pamphlet.

Cannot wait for this. Congrats!

Third month in a row that I've gotten my lady time after a 6 month hiatus. Take that PCOS.

Yesterday I hit 100lbs on my squat and 135 on my deadlift!

Its only been 2 weeks, but I have a noticeable bit more room in my jeans and a pair of grappling shorts that used to fit rather snugly.

Last night getting ready for bed I looked in the mirror and noticed my face isn't as round as it was when I started - cheek bones and chin are more noticeable! Also - my too small sports bra now goes on easily without sounding like it's going to rip in half!

Im back to my size 7 jeans that I havent worn in 3 years!

liekewheeless

The first pair of pants I bought when I first started gaining weight (10 years ago) are loose on me. I don't think they fit this well when I bought them. I'm really starting to notice I'm in that last stretch getting to my goal weight. (11 lb to go!)

I am 100% an emotional eater. Since using MFP I've been able to put a stop to this because taking the time to enter the food in I want to eat and seeing what it would do to my calories is enough to make me really think about what I'm doing.

Last night though a big wave of anger and sadness hit me out of nowhere. I really wasn't expecting it as I've been feeling better and suffering less depression since starting my weight loss journey. Not having planned anything for dinner I grumpily drove out to a fast food place with every intention of burning through all 1000+ calories I had left for the day and then some.

I'm proud to say though that by the time I got to the window to order I had (begrudgingly) talked myself out of buying a burger, and loaded fries, and a soda, and an Apple pie. I only got the fries and drank water which was actually more than enough to fill me up completely AND I finished well under my calorie goal!!

I got to wear an older pair of pants who used to be HUGE on me... 6 months ago I tried them on and wouldn't fit pass my knee... Yesterday tried them on and fit close to perfect!!! (A bit small around the hips but hell I wore them all day!!) I felt SO GOOD !

Good for you. Also, shame on your mom for being terrible to you. That isn't borderline abusive, that's super [expletive redacted]ty.

I've got 2.

1) I don't own a coat because I have my grandfather's shoulders (even at my football weight, I didn't have the shape for women's coats, so I don't buy them). Had to do work outside today so I borrow a roommate's jacket (thinking it was my (male) roommate's. Turns out it wasn't a guy's medium, but a ladies' medium jacket. Didn't fit right at the hips or shoulders, but it zipped! Wow.

2) My spouse spent a good portion of this morning biting my ribcage in bed, telling me how much he likes the muscle on my back and the shape of my torso. Given all my surgeries (and how far I still have to go) I was very pleased.

I did not let hunger win last night. I told it to go to bed!

I can climb a tree again!

Same here! I was surprised when I was faced with climbing a tree a few months ago and when I started to climb, I was just like a monkey. So much more flexible and, of course, less weight to haul up with me. Now I'm like you...sometimes I climb a tree for no real reason other than to climb it.

I met a woman waiting for the bus who was letting her all one color turquoise hair grow out. After I commented on the color I took off my hat to show her my turquoise and magenta highlights and she said that's what she wanted to do next.

I'm on the next link down on my charm bracelet. I didn't realise my wrist would lose weight too

I've become that person in the gym. I working on my arms yesterday...and looked in the mirror and couldn't stop staring because OMG I HAVE MUSCLES IN MY ARMS! I probably looked pretty vain, but I really don't care

chatterbox3110

Bought a new top today in a size 20, first one in that size, from a 32/34!!!

I also had my ring finger measured and it's dropped 6 sizes, no wonder my rings are loose!

That's what 117lbs loss does!!!

twrobbel

I got a workout in at the gym before work. I'm not a morning person and was exhausted from my late night return from a work trip, but still did. First time evah!

To women with a normal reproductive system it probably seems like a really strange thing to call an NSV, but for me it's a pretty big deal...I'm ovulating now that I've lost weight. I'm nowhere NEAR where I should be, but I will get there....and this was a huge motivation. 53 lb and counting (wish I had joined MFP before I started losing, that ticker is frustrating me).

If you know how much you used to weigh, go to My Home - Check in - Edit Previous Measurements

Select weight (if it isn't already selected) and once it reloads the page, enter the date and weight, and Add New Entry. If you have multiple weights to record, just keep adding them until you're done (I actually started on FatSecret, and didn't join MFP until almost a month later, so I added in the older info so my ticker would be correct.)

Good luck.

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for telling us how to do that. I had just been doing the correct math in my head every tune I wanted to know how much I'd lost cuz I entered my beginning weight a bit lower than it really was by mistake. This makes things so much simpler!

Last night did some walking lunges for the first time in a while. In the past I've always hated them, felt like I couldn't do them well with a full range of motion. Last night, I got my down knee all the way down to almost touching the floor. Felt like an accomplishment.

I have to wear my wedding ring on my middle finger. Too big for my ring finger, and it can't be resized due to how its made from 2 different types of gold. But wearing it on the wrong finger is better than not being able to wear it.

hojo94

It isn't a huge one, but after two years of not being able to put my wedding ring on... I got it back on again! Yes it is a TIGHT fit, but I got it over my "finger fat"! AND, my fat pants, that changed to my "suck it in sister, or you will NEVER get these zipped" are now my fat pants, that are about at the point of being big enough that they look bad! I AM EXCITED TO LOOK BAD IN MY PANTS!
