Just got back from vacation. Threw my swim trunks in my suitcase without thinking. Put them on and they were falling off. Needless to say, I didn't take a dip until I went and got a smaller pair of trunks.

I was delighted this morning to find I have lost an inch off my boobs! Yay- finally they are coming into line with the rest of me

Yay!!! This is one of those NSVs I want so badly to happen to me. I got inches for days. XD

My smallest bra fits again! I was able to slide my engagement ring off for the first time in months - it was actually one of the reasons I started this journey because I didnt want to have to cut it off!

I know this feeling so well. The Christmas before I started weight loss, I was desperate because there was no way I could get my ring off and I was terrified of degloving my finger. I got wire cutters and cut it off my finger. Three months later... I probably could have removed it without cutting it. Luckily, it was easy to repair, so good to start before you get to that point!

Now, my ring is getting too big again. XD

Bench press - 3x5x150 this morning. I haven't stopped grinning yet.

Laying down and not looking like a bakery exploded from my pants!

I started strength training and now I have these little ankle dimples! I know, odd one right? But until I lose weight I won't notice other toned bits so for now it's ankles

It's been a super stressful morning/week/month/year and this morning whilst out shopping, I grabbed a large cafe latte and 3 macarons - that's about a fortnights worth of carbs for this little keto duck (not the NSV, amazingly). The NSV's are actually:

• This is the first time I've turned to food for comfort in months. And, while I enjoyed it, it didn't trigger the 'another one will make me feel even better' switch.
• As soon as I finished, I went "well, back on track as of now". Didn't panic, didn't stress, didn't beat myself up - just went "I can't un-eat them, what's done is done" and moved on. Six months ago, something like this would have caused a spiral for days.

These are MAJOR victories for me, even if the macarons themselves were not.

bought size (UK) 10 skinny jeans yesterday.

I ran for the first time in 16 years. Only managed 2 minutes but I'm very proud of my accomplishment!

JinnBee

After losing only 21 pounds of the 120 I'm hoping to lose, my blood pressure has dropped from "pre-hypertension" down to the "ideal" range! My doctor is so proud!

DreaDarling87

I am finally at a "normal" bmi for the first time in my adult life.

1.5 inches off my chest! woop woop!

glennagael

Second 5k last night, I did NOT run any extra miles (like my first one...) and brought my average mile time down! I'm also less sore this time around, even though I ran more of the course than I did last time. Third and final summer 5k in four weeks!

PCOS_VICTOR

I’ve lost 3 inches in my waist!

Celebrate with me!

In high school I played sports year round, but never did any weight training because the first time I went to the weight room I was told to record my one rep max for the bench press and couldn't even lift the bar (40lbs). I walked out and never went back.

So while it's not a pair of DragonPants it was this DragonWeight 40lbs bench press.

I bought a barbell a few weeks ago and have been adding 5lbs to it every arm day. Today was the day I would go over 40lbs.......

and I did it without a struggle!

Next goal is to bench half my weight!

orangegato

Someone who left work 2 years ago stopped in yesterday, saw me and blurted out, "HOLY *kitten*, how much weight did you lose?!"
Always kinda nice to be acknowledged.

Good job!! Dragons come in all shapes and sizes, but there's always a loot pile of AWESOME they're hoarding. Good job on slaying the dragon!!

Got my first "Don't lose any more" comment yesterday (which is hilarious as I'm still a stone over a healthy BMI, but I'll take it).

And today I've hit my 365 day logging streak.

Oh, and somehow joining a line dancing class 'for fun' a few months back ended up with me (and my friends) taking part in a dance recital this week....... Would NEVER have done that a year ago

A friend told me how to loop the band around the little holders on the uprights to assist with pull ups (so it’s a line you stand on, not the loop hanging from the bar that I’m afraid I’ll end up dangling by one foot from), so I’ve been working on chin ups with the band (pull ups were still embarrassingly hard with the band I had). Today I was doing my thing, thinking it felt easy. Then realized I was doing pull-ups, not chin ups! So maybe I’m ready to go to the thinner band!

I pulled something in my quad (I think?) two Saturdays ago while squatting. It still hurts when I do anything more than a slow walk. But NSV is that is making me really focus on my eating, which had gotten out of hand, and I’m making progress on my OHP and bench after being stalled for forever. Trying to stay active and lose the few pounds that I’d been ignoring while not being able to use my legs for much is definitely a challenge.

This morning I went to have blood drawn for my annual physical. I was talking with the phlebotomist about donating blood and she commented that it always makes her dizzy. I told her that could be because she's so petite, I never get dizzy, probably because I'm "big boned"
She looked at me like I was nutso and told my I'm crazy, that I'm tiny!!!
I looked at her like she was nutso and told her that most of my life I was fat, maxing out at 250 lbs. ( I currently maintain at about 155)
She looked at me again with that nutso look, I kept looking at her with the nutso look, then I my eyes started to water.
I just turned 60 and have never been call tiny, little or small. I know I'm far from tiny, but it still rocked my world to hear it.

It’s my son’s birthday today and I knew we were going to have cake. I carefully budgeted throughout the day for a piece of cake. While eating it, I started to feel guilty, but pushed those feelings back and enjoyed every bite. Didn’t even finish it and then went on a run after the kiddos were in bed, clocking a PB time

GOT_Obsessed

I tried my first ever Crossfit yesterday. I had always thought it was for super fit people. By the way that is not true, everyone starts somewhere. I loved it and am going back Monday!

bufger

I found hip bones for the first time in my life!

And my wife is getting fed up of me taking up the mirror when she's trying to get ready 😁

MessyApron

I had to tighten my belt another notch!

workinonit1956

I need to buy a belt. Getting tired of hiking up my jeans.

I've had some shorts hanging in the back of my closet that made my muffin top seem extra big because they were so tight. They also we're tight on my thighs. Its been a few summers since I've been able to wear them comfortably. Yesterday I slipped them on and felt comfortable all day! No petruding muffin top, no lines on my thighs from being too tight and I was even able to pull them down without unbuttoning them!

I made it to the top of Rough Ridge for a spectacular view from The Blowing Rock. (Actually, probably more impressive is that FOUR of my vacation days required hikes of varying degrees of difficulty. Not my usual "hang out at the beach, try new restaurants, and do some shopping" kind of vacation!)
