Completed my first 7 days of using MFP. Walked for at least 45 mins every day and kept my net calories below 1280 every day. All painless so far, hope I can keep it up.

Good job! You can, and you'll feel better for it.

Somewhere in this thread I was keeping track of my milestones....At two weeks you feel it, at four weeks you see it, etc.

I was hitting all those milestones pretty much right on time! I even added...At six weeks your spouse sees it.

I've kept up the exercise and realized I could be eating less. So I adjusted my calories. This week, after 12 weeks, I have reached At eight weeks your friends and family see it. However, it took me 12 weeks. 😉 AND IT HAPPENED REALLY QUICKLY. SUDDENLY EVERYONE HAS BEEN COMMENTING! The original quote continues...In 12 weeks the World will see it. So at least in "my" world, at 12 weeks it has worked!

I've only lost 5 pounds but lost quite a few inches. Dont depend on just the scale. Go by inch loss, your endurance and strength. Try on your clothes...that's a big motivator. And keep going! At five pounds, I've lost as much as a chihuahua 🙃

I was pulling my hoodie over my head at the gym and accidentally took off my T-shirt as well. The NSV is that in the past, I would have been self-conscious of someone seeing me without a shirt. Today, I calmly separated the T-shirt from the hoodie, laid the hoodie down and put my T-shirt back over my head. I don't think anyone noticed and more importantly, I wasn't concerned if they did.

After many months of trying, today i was FINALLY able to do a handstand on my own.

I completed my third week of the stronglifts 5x5 regimen! I haven't worked out in years, so sticking to this for 3 weeks is a big step for me! Ive noticed that i feel "looser". My joints and limbs don't feel as stiff as they once did. I'm 1 pound away from hitting my "50 pounds lost this year" milestone!

Sometimes victories are not that you did something. Sometimes victories are the belief that you can do something.

I took my blood pressure this morning. It was close to reading as normal. Very close.

I believe that soon I will measure blood pressure in the normal range.

Will be the first time since 2016.

Victories can be about believing in yourself.

I wore a pair of jeans I haven't worn in a while today. Some denim "loosens up" throughout the day. By late afternoon, I could feel my hips moving more freely. On a hunch, I tried something...IT WORKED!!! My jeans can now slide right off me....without unfastening my zipper or snap at the waist. They literally pull off and on like SWEATPANTS 👍.

I am logging calories for what I actually eat Easter Sunday.

Ooooo I’ve got a few lately
- wedding ring fell off in the shower (soapy)
- told the wifey “I didn’t want anything at Starbucks”
- have not had any Easter candy today!
- slipping into jeans that are like 10 years old!

Today, I'm the only person who put food in my mouth.

While it's true every day and paradoxically both profound and mundane, I'm going to call it a non-scale victory to admit it!

One of the best NSVs I had was when I was seated and I could easily cross my legs when I couldn't do that before. That's when I knew I was making progress.

I stuck to my meal plan today! Despite many temptations and reasons to go off plan!

My big nsv was that I measured my resting pulse today in the mid 60s! I don't think it has been there for years! Over 400 lb guy.

I'll be crossing over the one month milestone of doing workouts tomorrow, so I'm thrilled about that! Things are going great!
