I was wandering in my yard today, and decided I'd better prune the 20 foot or so row of spirea shrubs *now*. I usually cut them back to short nubs as soon as there's a bit of green leaf showing.
While doing it, I had a flashback: I remembered that there had been a time when doing this quickly/energetically would have me breathing hard, and my arm muscles would start getting tired part way through.
Apparently, Mr. Bob Dylan had a point: "I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now." Today, it was not even a thing; just kind of unconsiderably trivial.
I don't remember how long ago that was: I starting improving fitness long before losing weight. But today I remembered that feeling vividly, as having happened sometime back there a few years.23 -
One thing I'm noticing is a higher amount of energy. I live in a house with a lot of stairs, and before I started consciously losing weight, I'd often avoid doing little tasks around the house because it required me to get something from another level... now I just bound up or down and get it done. Makes me feel great.20

I can take my watch off without undoing the buckle. I'm also feeling taller and can squeeze through gaps easier.9

Yesterday morning I woke up 3 pounds heavier than usual. In the past I would have panicked. I would have gotten frustrated. I would have gone hog wild on the holiday foods. Instead I thought rationally, knew there was no way I had eaten enough to gain 3 pounds overnight, and went on with my day. Today my weight is right where I would have expected it to be. It feels good to be in control.

My labs came back great! (Except for b-12.. ugh)16

I do workouts by fitness blender and they have a lot of floor exercises too so previously I had to take support of the wooden desk next to my PC to get up and because of my weight I could easily move the desk while trying to get up but now it doesn't move when I take support maybe coz I'm also 4 kgs lighter ππ
From 85 kgs in Nov 2020 to 81 kgs as of now!13 -
I look forward to going to the gym.
(I still have trouble getting there but that's the ADHD, and no worse than anything else; I just get easily distracted.)6 -
I rolled out of bed at 5:45 this morning to make it to a 6:15 class at the gym.17

People are starting to notice my weight loss (95 lbs. since 7/16/20). Yesterday the cashier at the convenience store where I get gasoline looked at me with a concerned look on her face. She commented "I haven't seen you around for a while, have you been ill, you look very thin". I told her I stopped eating fast food and carbonated beverages. I informed her that I now eat using IF and MFP logging to intentionally lose weight. I thanked her for her concern and enjoyed/savored her observation.18

Took this photo today and realized the features in my face are returning instead of just being a round blob.
You look great5 -
Just switched out my winter and summer clothes. My shorts that were too small last year fit now!12

Today I went to the gym and lifted weights.
Then I made lunch (quesadillas) which requires a lot of standing and watching over them.
Ate lunch, didn't want anything else.
Went to the home improvement store. Bought two potted roses and some annuals for a container, plus a bag of grass seed and a bag of mulch. Immediately when I came home I planted the annuals in their container, planted canna lily bulbs in another container, and planted the roses, which meant I had to walk up and down the hill to get the shovel and rake and then back again to put them away....
And I came in and my bad foot was sore from being used on the shovel (oops) but otherwise...I'm okay. I'm happy to sit down and have a lot of water, but I'm not needing a nap or so worn out I won't be able to cook later. This is AMAZING. I feel almost like I'm normal.28 -
This is my virgin post, been using MFP off and on for years, had scale shock during the pandemic. Weighed 450 a month ago, 1.5 months later I am 50-50lbs lighter and ready for permanent change! 30m walk a day, 2600cal or less (sometimes a bit more if I walk extra).
My first non scale victory? Going to the grocery store, not looking for closest spot, and doing a light skip/jog to the door to allow a car to pass faster!
Could really use some fellow (morbidly) obese in my friend circle if anyone wants to add. I'm 34M/IN39 -
I can now wrap a bath sheet around my waist without having to suck my stomach in first and I can see my toes again.
Hopefully I'll be able to see my feet soon and not just my toes!16 -
Using the skills I learnt through weight loss in other aspects of my life. Starting with super small goals to make things achievable and taking care of myself. I haven't just lost 20 lbs (so far), I now have a good skin care routine and created a plan at work to make me a little more productive each day. Just realising these skills are for life and are interchangeable - so you always realise you don't have to live a certain way if you don't want to.
Oh and being able to do 5 push ups without stopping (hoping to get to 10). This may sound tiny to some people but when I started I began with one of the semi push ups (on your knees) and ripped a muscle in my back because I was so weak. So yeah that's pretty awesome.20 -
This sounda stupid but I'm pretty codependent and most of my office works from home now. That means all of my walking buddies aren't there anymore. It's taken a long time but I finally have gotten myself to take walks alone during my breaks. It's perfect because I'm getting out the office, I can go at my own speed, and I'm getting extra calories burned. π31

I just got back on my weight loss wagon. It's been a month and I've lost 16lbs... that being said you know how it goes we never see it coming off! Well my recent NSV was using a belt. I can see where I've worn the holes. The other day I was able to pull my belt two holes tighter! The holes are 1 inch apart, that means I've lose 2 inches around my waist! I'll take that!20

My NSV to today was going to the Spa my birthday present to me from me. And being able and not ashamed to get a massage. Before the idea of taking my clothes off and having someone rub my fat around was appalling to me. Instead of going to dinner tonight I went to the spa this morning for a spa, manicure and pedicure it was awesome. A combination reward for reaching goal by my birthday and birthday present rolled into one. This was my first massage EVER in my life it was amazing.26

When it's warm enough I fly fish at a local park with river access. Yesterday evening I walked further than I have in over a year (even after a 30 minute run at lunch on the treadmill). I ended up catching more fish because of it!13
