Our annual company meeting was this week so I saw remote employees I hadn't seen for about a year. Had to laugh because I got compliments on changing my hair, but not the 85 pounds lost. Lol at least they noticed /something/ was different

Just wanted to say that I love your new profile pic, Leah!

Thank you!! I am always worried that no one will recognize me anymore haha.

I wore a fitted tee yesterday rather than a loose top like I've been sporting since my son was born, and this simplest thing felt amazing!

I also noticed a feeling of confidence in my food choices, with less anxiety about the amounts I have been eating.

Yay!

I bought a new bra last week that had only 3 hooks -- not 4, not 5. My sports bra still has 6, but it's an iron-clad, masterpiece of engineering. I'm now a 36DD, down from 44G.

Ran my 4th 5K today, but this time my husband ran it with me! I'm glad I listened to other MFPers and just led by example. My husband decided on his own to start running since I was loving it so much. I never wanted to pressure him into anything, but he naturally ended up wanting to exercise and eat healthier with me. I feel so blessed to find so many new activities we can do together!

Btw I am 6'1" and 234 pounds, down from 319! Husband is 6'2" and 176.

I finished my Duolingo in French today!

I've had something of a mind shift lately. I've been so focused on what I have achieved, losing weight and getting fit. I'm always going to be proud of what I've achieved and I will willingly share my story with anyone I think I can help.

But I've had a realization of sorts. I'm no longer the former fat man turned slim. I've spent so long with that label in my head. This is my new reality. I'm going to make damn sure I'm never going to gain weight again. We moved to a new town several months ago. The people in this town don't know I used to be heavy. They just know me as they see me now. Unless I choose to tell them my story. They just see me as someone who is not overweight. So that's who I'm going to see myself as from now on. I'm always going to be proud of the way I've turned my health around but from this moment going forward I'm just going to enjoy who I am now. After all, I've worked hard for this. I have literally worked my *kitten* off!

I don't know if this makes sense. It's hard to put into words but this is how I'm feeling now. So this is my NSV. Changing the way I see myself.

So my parents are in town. Mom likes exercise. Today rather then sit around I suggested we go to the waterfront boot camp cardio class. So I visited over boot camp cardio. Mom and I were both tired and sweaty after but such a great way to visit.

I put my jeans in the dryer so that they can shrink and fit better.... Well that's different! I almost always hang to dry my clothes so they keep their shape and won't shrink.... now I NEED them to shrink!!

OMG I've been doing the same thing...I got 3 new pairs of jeans for Christmas and I've been trying to shrink them. It's so frustrating to have to get new clothes, but also so exciting!

I just had to say that I love this photo, you both look really happy. Love the fact that you had consecutive numbers as well. You should frame this and put it where you'll see it every day

Thank you so much! I definitely should frame it we were pretty excited to be numbers 9 and 10 haha. Most people had boring long numbers.

Here's my NSV. Decent time (for me, anyway) and I didn't feel even a twinge in my hamstring!

I was working out and my shorts fell down! I need smaller shorts!

Did my first 20km cycle ride today

This is a total vanity thing, but I've been wearing heels for 2 days in a row. I haven't been able to wear anything but my prescription orthotic athletic shoes for the last *year* because my feet and knees have caused me so much pain (not even able to go barefoot). I haven't been able to wear even the tiniest heel for several years because my center gravity had shifted because of my weight, and again, so much pain in my feet and legs just from standing up.

We've had lots of graduation things going on for the last week, and so I decided to try. No pain, no falling on my face or twisting my ankle.

I felt feminine for the first time in a long, long time.

Wore some very old clothes to do some dirty yard work. Washing/folding them, I realized that they looked just huge to me.

When I first lost weight after 30+ years of being fat, my new clothes looked freakishly tiny to me.

I guess, after a year-plus in maintenance, my brain is finally adjusting a little bit to the new reality.

goldenday

I felt super low but still made my way to the gym regardless, and I wore shorts for the first time there today.

@Madwife2009 here is one for you spotted on a five mile walk the other day. You seem to like the birdies

@Mooma29 - just realised I forgot to say thank you for thinking of me, it's a great photo. And you're right, I do like birds (and other wildlife, including my children).

We live near a nature reserve that has loads of herons (never saw any prior to moving here) and the rangers are more than willing to give talks on them. The herons nest quite early here - we went to a talk in February and they were looking after their chicks at that point. Some of the herons are used to people and don't worry about being near them, so people throw them cooked meat. The funniest thing I saw was a heron walking around in the water with a cooked chicken leg in its beak. The chicken leg was bigger than the heron's head so I have no idea how it was going to be eaten.

I've been fighting the 3 lbs I gained back on vacation in Spain in April. I have a lot more to lose, at least 30 lbs, but the 3 I gained back were NOT leaving! Today I got on the scale and they are gone! I'm back to my pre vacation weight (down 23 from starting weight).

So I pulled out the tape measure and I lost 2" in the waist and 1" in the hips! Previously I hadn't lost an inch in either.

I broke my PR for a 5k!

@Madwife2009 "my" heron lives in the rivelin valley which is a place we love to walk, we saw him again today actually. Only ever see that one though, well I assume it's the same one. we also saw robins and squirrels. Walked 6 miles today in an attempt to undo the damage of a wedding anniversary weekend at the seaside

This morning I cycled 13 miles; my farthest ride to date. Came home to a fist-bump from my son.

Yesterday I shoveled dirt into my new raised strawberry bed and my back doesn't hurt today!

feeling SO ACCOMPLISHED with running! Since starting C25K, I could barely run for 1min, I'm now up to 8min runs at a time!

I signed up for a 1/4 marathon (6.55 miles). I decided I better see if I could run that far since I've previously only run about 5.5 miles at the longest. I crushed my 6.55 goal by running 7.68 miles at a 10:14/mile pace. I think I can handle it

Just took three giant bags of clothes to Goodwill. These are the contractor size, not kitchen size. They are way too big, and I am not keeping them "in case." There will be no "in case," no safety net.
