After 2 decades of weighing in the 250-300+lb range, I am back to my wedding day weight. My grown daughters have rejected my wedding dress that I have saved for 30 years in case they wanted it (it's TOO 80's, Mom!) So before I sent it off to Goodwill, I thought I would see if I could fit back into it. Success!

You are amazing! You look absolutely beautiful - then and now.

I just bought a pair of size 8 high waisted jeggings! My size 10s at home still fit fine but I'm guilty of washing and drying them so maybe they've shrunk a bit. 🤷 I got them from the same store, but the size 10s in the store were too big!!!

Oh my. I have had THE most stressful day. Trying to navigate the education system in the UK is a nightmare at times. I have spent way too much time over the last week trying to sort things out for my son, just because the college likes to prevent people from achieving too much.

Normally stress = chocolate. Excessive chocolate

Today, stress = four tiny pieces of chocolate plus an 8-mile walk. Which I was actually able to do without to much discomfort (apart from aching feet. Tomorrow will probably tell a different story though!).

Progress!

Hit 100lbs on my bench! I’m about to be out for 3 weeks for surgery/recovery, so happy to go out on a high note

I just won $600 for reaching 2nd place in a fitness challenge ! Not only did I reach my weight goals, but I’ve remembered who I am again, a healthy, fit woman and a fierce competitor😁

My blood sugars are normal, I am officially off Metformin (although I actually stopped taking it 2 months ago), my liver tests came back normal and I am only slightly aghast at sharing this:

Cute suit!!! Way to go!

1) My health insurance came to my office yesterday and offered $50 to do a biometric screening. It also offered another $50 for hitting key targets for health like blood sugar, cholesterol levels, BMI, etc. My employer offered to match. I'm $200 richer today.

2) Today I hit a new PR* for my 200 IM.

*Not actually a PR because I'm sure I went faster in high school, but 20 years removed from that time, it feels pretty good to go 2:45

that suit is amazing!!!!

Got in my cycle trousers that I haven't been able to wear. This is truly an NSV as my bottom really can tell the difference after the ride to work

I was shopping with a friend and found a blazer I really liked but they did not have a Large. So I though well I will try a medium and use it for a goal. It fit. I have not worn a medium since High school!

Although the skin around my jawline and neck is not as taut as I would like it to be (or as it was the last time I was this weight), my weight-loss turkey waddle seems finally to have dissipated. You know that one where there is just a flap dragging down directly from the point of your chin?

I can do chores around the house instead of having to depend on others to do them. Including lifting and carrying!

Went on a power walk yesterday. I've been working to get my pace below 15:30 per mile. Got three miles at 15:11 or less. GPS glitched on the fourth mile, although the pace was in the same neighborhood.

Now for four miles under 15:00 per mile!

Great work Steve! You will get there!!!!!

Yay! You are well on your way to taming them dragonpants, @hobbitses333! Congrats!

Last winter, I was able to wear my knee-high boots again and I was SO HAPPY! I tried them on (as Fall is right around the corner!!) and they fit even better now. No longer snausage squeezing my calves and turns out, one of them was more of an over-the-knee boot that never had enough give to get that high. Who'd've thought?!

While I don't yet quite want summer to go (swimming season!!), I am getting excited about Fall!

Since I had lost some weight recently, this morning I decided to try on some of the shirts I couldn't previously wear in my closet. I was able to add one shirt to the 'wear everyday' side and 3 were moved to the 'almost there, but not quite' section of the closet.

Knocked another two minutes off my "walking" parkrun time.

This was an interesting outing as my 6-year old and husband went with me and my son. There were also some very nasty hills, so I am very pleased with our time.

I also managed to run some small sections, very slowly, without causing any additional pain or head/brain issues.

Am going to see my doctor this week, just for clarification that it's okay to start running again. Once I have that, I'm going to start running from scratch, with the C25K programme again.

It's good to have goals again.
