Last October when I had already lost 125 Lbs, I had to leave a ride at Six Flags (The Joker) because I could not get the lap belt attached. It was probably about 8-10 Inches from locking. Over the weekend, I went to Six Flags again and this time I beat my own personal demon by getting on The Joker and having about an inch to spare on the lap belt. That was the best feeling in the world. I still have about 73 Lbs to go but this is so much better.
Wow that's a huge victory, congratulations @tinamarie6624 !!! This is exactly why I and so many others are on here at all: so our bodies can get to a point where we can DO all the things we want to be able to do. That's much more motivating to me in the long run than just "looking better".
Thank you for the inspiration. Keep up the great work!!!15 -
Mother came for a visit and surprised by my 123lb. weight loss over 10 months took me shopping. Down 8 pants sizes and 2 shirt sizes. Didn't have to go to the big and tall section for the first time in 20 years. Felt really weird to me but put a smile on my face.41

I tried on clothes I haven't fit into comfortably for over a year and a half.
They fit! I'm very excited!23 -
My NSV is that I got back on track. This month I had all deadlines for assignments at uni, so I couldn't be bothered with tracking my food. Then Easter came and I visited my family in another country. I got back and after relaxing for one day (visiting my family is extremely stressful for me) I started tracking again! I gained a bit of weight but I know I'll lose it. I'm 10 pounds away from my ultimate goal and I want to reach it by July!!28

L shirts now fit like XL fit a month ago. This has opened up a lot more of my wardrobe.22

So I wore my pencil skirt last night with my nice polka dot black shirt. When I was done tucking-in my shirt in my skirt, the skirt was still big around my waist so I reached behind my skirt to zip up and well, I forgot it was already zipped up. So yeah, my waist is really getting smaller. I guess this is a good problem to have but it means I have to buy more pencil skirts. I'm pear shape so I usually buy and wear stretchy pants and skirts. Fortunately for me as I lose the weight I can still wear some of my stretchy clothes and which means I can save some money on new clothes or only buy new clothes when I'm super small.
Another NSV and I had mentioned in an earlier post, I gained 2 pounds within 48 hours due to my ovulation. THANKS MOTHER NATURE! Now that I have a better understanding of weight loss, usually I'm discouraged with any weight gain. But the logical side of my brain tells me, unless I ate 7000 calories in 48 which I didn't, the spike in weight gain is all from hormonal changes and definitely all water weight. Also I checked my macros and I've been eating above my daily sodium allowance and drinking more water due to increase thirst- all thanks to my hormones.
Moral of the story, this weight loss journey is teaching me patience.32 -

^^^ Awesome!
.... I gained 2 pounds within 48 hours ....
It really helped when I understood that I did not GAIN two, three, four pounds overnight. I weigh daily (naked, morning, etc). Weighing daily helps me accept the big fluctuations in my weight. Since I see up and down a lot I
- don't freak out
- can often tie it back to what I have eaten - like that sodium laden ham on Easter - or my exercise

I took two semesters at one school, under a different major, then started back up years later at another school with another major. I'm 4 total semesters in and I really only need a Phys Ed class and Composition (which didn't transfer). The Phys Ed, 1 credit, is going to be $88 and the CLEP for Composition is going to be free because I'm a Reserves spouse. By this August, I'll have the necessary credits to get an Associate's of Art and by next August, I'll be ready to start the Coordinated Program in Dietetics at Wayne State University! Projected graduation, May/June-ish 2020!
This is fantastic!6 -
The custom kilt I'd ordered two years ago finally got sent back to the maker to be not altered but completely retailored. Got a "grats on the weight loss" message along with the bill.42

My size 14s are starting to feeling loose. And it's definitely time for a new belt!23

I went through a period of about 3 months this winter in which I was keeping my calories at goal, but was constantly starving. To make matters worse, my weight loss was completely stalled! Although I had been pretty diligent about getting enough protein, I realized I had to look at my carb/fat levels, too. After some experimentation, I realized I just don't do well if my carbs go over about 30% of my calories. Now that I'm keeping that in mind, my hunger has abated and the weight loss continues. My NSV is that I didn't give up, and instead figured out what works for me.44

Today a business associate didn't recognize me, asked who I was, and double taked when I said my name.23

1.The other day my SO commented that he has notice the back of my thighs, and butt are becoming more toned. I now have visible muscle.
2. Today I had to park in a small parking spot, thought I would have trouble getting out of my van. Instead I was able to get out without opening my door all the way, and I was facing forward rather than sideways.

1) My legs really ache tonight. But I'm happy about that
That's because, for the first time in months, I have done a long cycle ride. 35.76 miles. I haven't cycled that far in one ride since October, because of the weather and health problems.
For whatever reason today, I decided to see how far I could get in 90 minutes. I made it to the next county, and ended up closer to where I used to live than where I currently live. I thought that it would take me a good two hours to get back (as it's mostly uphill and into wind) but it didn't, it only took about 100 minutes. So the short, harder rides (up those lovely hills ) over the winter have paid off as I can go further, faster. The last time I did this particular route, it took me 227 minutes. Today it was 190 minutes.
And I hit 39.7 mph going home - slightly disappointed that I didn't hit over 40mph but I'm blaming that on the new tarmac that's been laid. They've clearly altered the slope of the hill .
2) I have also cut the time it takes me to cycle to the gym from 23 minutes to 17 minutes.
3) I have downloaded a C25K app. My son and I are going to try this tomorrow. I have told him that if he doesn't like it after the first session then he doesn't have to continue35 -
I started level 3 of 30 day shred today and traded my maternity shorts for the shorts I wore last summer (im two months postpartum)!27

It is official. My husband and I can not switch drivers when we are out and about without a lot of groaning, complaining, and moving seats and mirrors around. It was convenient to share the same seating position for all those years, but that time in our marriage is over. Back to driving our own respective vehicles with everything adjusted individually.
Also, I'm into size 18's now. The size 20 jeggings I'm wearing look like regular jeans and this XL shirt fits great!30 -
I've been working out recently and today during a PiYo workout (which unfortunately I had to end early due to back pain) I was able to keep up with a lot of the moves AND I was able to do more triceps push ups! I'm already noticing that I'm getting stronger; I'm hoping my doctor will know what my back pain is so I can fix it and continue!!
Thank you everyone for your posts; whenever I'm feeling disheartened by the scale not moving or I've had a rough week, y'all motivate me to keep going ❤️17 -
Ran 2.5 miles straight, for the 3rd time. I know I could have made it the rest of the 0.6 to make it 5K, but my mini was acting like he was going to die for the whole last 1/2 mile. It kinda aggravated just a little because he's 11 and I'm 37. How can I be in that much better shape than him?!?! We are gonna have to work on that this summer!21

Yes. After dinner, on Easter, when we ran some short competitive bits, 61 year old me wasn't out of breath, but 6 year old great grand nephew was. I'm worrying about the boy. Unlike you, I lack routine influence: I live far away.10 -
I saw a video today that I made about a year and a half and 55 pounds ago. I often don't see a huge difference in how I look, especially in my face, but... Wow.20
