New guy at the gym hopped off the leg press.
“You done?”
“Yes, ma’am” and he politely started to take the 45 he had on each side off.
“Please leave ‘em”, and I proceeded to add an another 45 to each side. He was looking at me like “yeah, right, lady”.
I saw him furtively side eyeing me as I did my progressive presses and calf lifts. He looked crushed and had dropped all pretense of pretending not to look by the time I had three 45s and a 25 on each side. I could see him shaking his head in disbelief in the mirror.
Never underestimate the little silver haired ladies, gents.
And, as I told my friends this morning, my costume today is thinner me, with a fat lady still hiding inside.
This is still new territory and yeah, I exult in messing with people’s heads. Including my own, lol.47 -

Had dr appt for 1st time since really committing to MFP (in May 2023), and beginning Mounjaro for type 2 diabetes.
-My A1C down from high of 6.6 in Dec 2022, to 4.8 yesterday!
-Also, my kidney function improved, likely due to being adequately hydrated, as I have been really working on drinking more water.
Happy Dance 🕺🏿

I've been walking enough that I can now walk as fast as my body will go, for as long as I want, so I tried jogging for the first time since my 20's. I went for about a minute, It didn't hurt, I didn't get completely burning-lung winded and it felt really good.30

So I’m now 73 days into my journey and have lost 23/30 lbs I had myself a target to lose before the end of the year!
I have been IF and trying to drink at least 2 litres of water. My work uniform trousers are noticeably easier to wear without struggling. A lot of stomach fat has definitely gone.
I’m hoping that by the time I get to 100 days I will have lost the remaining. 7 lbs or more!
I am determined to go into 2024 in the best shape I’ve in for the past 10 years and carry on the healthy habits I’ve learned.28 -
I have a few NSVs, in addition to SV. NSVs first!
- My rings are LOOSE! I told my husband I need to get those squishy things you put on the back side to hold them tight.
- A hoodie I bought five years ago fits MUCH more comfortably this year than last year
- All of my jeans are getting looser
- I went down a size in leggings
- I feel less bloated and have more energy to get through the day (though, it could also be that my diabetes is coming into control)
- My psoriasis flares are less often and not as large
- My moods are more stable
SVs:
- Without realizing how bad of shape I was in, I went from being 225 pounds last year to 197.4 this morning. I didn't even really do anything differently other than become more conscious of what I eat, when I eat, why I eat, and how much I sit on my butt at work during the day (and on the weekends, because let's face it - binge watching TV is everyone's favorite thing)
I'm on my way to being a better version of myself. I'm not in it for vanity, I'm in it to live as long and as happily as I can.

Two related nsv's.
I used to walk to get groceries (about 1/2 mile away) every 3 or 4 days. I sat and rested on the bridge railing 1/2 way, and a few more times on the way home. I switched the groceries from right hand to left hand to carrying like a baby often.
Walked yesterday and today. First time ever two days in a row. I forgot all about stopping to rest.
About 1/2 way home, I realized the groceries weren't heavy (yes, I bought as many as usual) and I hadn't changed hands. That's when I remembered this is where I usually stop and rest. No need.
Right now, I feel like I can do it again tomorrow.30 -
I completed a 30 day squat challenge for the month of October! Key word being COMPLETED… I stayed on track and did the entire month except one day I skipped due to injury. I wasn’t sure I’d be able to stay committed or do that many squats 😮💨😊🤗 but I did it!!!32

My first time being able to post a nsv! I can finally fit behind the steering wheel of my car with extra space! I noticed today, such a great feeling!33

I'm down one notch on my belt and my waist is reappearing. I also realised that I have started looking in the mirror again after months of avoiding it. Just as well because there's a giant one in my hallway that's hard to avoid lol!24

I dressed up for a meeting today. I felt good. New boots, new coat. A couple of friends said I looked good and then asked how much weight I’d lost. I smiled, and crossed my legs comfortably! They crossed easily, and I was a bit shocked at myself. Firstly, I didn’t think people noticed my weight loss of 45 lbs. Secondly, I crossed my legs without thinking.30

On August 29, 2023, I walked (slowly) from my house to the end of my street and back...about six minutes. Yesterday, I walked briskly for 20 minutes.42

Measurement day!
Over the past couple months, I've lost: 1.2" from my neck, 1.4" from my upper arm, 5.2" from my belly/butt, 2.5" from my thigh, and 0.8" from my calf.
Over the past month, I've lost: 1.7" from my waist, and 4.2" from my hips.26 -

A few weeks ago I tried on a bunch of tops and bottoms and none of them fit. Too big for the 12 and too small for the 14 and nothing fit and I left the shop upset about my body.
However, I still desperately need work clothes so yesterday while shopping for other things
I was brave and tried on other things. I’m a 14 in dresses - fit like a glove and a 12 in tops 😊😊😊😊😊21 -
I ate the most delicious half-carrot of my entire life today. Like, seriously. I like veggies very much anyway, but I didn't know a carrot could be this good. Been eating low carb since June and I'm now increasing my carbs a bit again, so eating half a carrot was in the budget. (I've been eating mostly greens and green veggies during the summer/fall.) Yum. It was so sweet, it honestly tasted like dessert to me.21

@takinitalloff
This is a good time for carrots. Some carrots get sweeter after it freezes. We have several organic growers around here, and some grow better carrots than others. If you find a good farm to get them, carrots can be really good. Look for Nantes carrots from a local farm. Try some from several farms and decide which you like.
I think I'll get some carrots today!6 -
I actually entered food into my diary today, after falling off the wagon back in September/October. It isn't the prettiest diary entry for trying to lose weight, but at least I used it.23
-
Had to wear a suit last week and all I had was from 2015 and it still fit!22
-
I’ve logged my food and weighed myself 2 days running. This is the week I get back on that wagon.28
