    I am up to running 9.5 miles for the week and I have 2 more days of exercising. Pretty nice to know that I will break the 10 mile a week plateau. I haven't ran more than 10 miles in week since the Army. Then is was more like 15-20 miles :noway:

    Someone at work told me my scrubs are way to big on me. That felt pretty dang good. Especially since I am stuck!!

    This happened to me a few weeks ago. Made my day!!!! I may have even skipped (literally skipped) into the next patient exam

    My wife looking at me today and saying "You look like you stole those pants from a fat homeless man. Time for us to buy you some new ones." :flowerforyou:

    I've been wearing them almost everyday since changing my life, eating right, and strength training.

    I felt like a million bucks and realized that my pants felt like a dress and that I looked rediculous wearing them.

    Am I wearing them now! Hell yeah! I want to lose another 10 lbs and then buy a new pair of pants.

    I can't wait for some random person at the office go... "have you lost weight" and I say FUK YEAH I HAVE! :smile:

    Just had one sitting at my desk. Went to scratch my knee and realized it is smaller than usually. I don't usually feel my knees so I never noticed it before. Score

    1) I was able to take the extension out of the back of my bra and just use the regular hooks.
    2) I was able to button a shirt that only a couple of weeks ago wouldn't button around my stomach.

    Small steps but enough to keep me motivated.

    My NSV for this week - have had like four people tell me I have lost weight, when in fact I havent! I have only lost inches. Feels good! A bit frustrating the scale though.

    An entire hour on the elliptical with added resistance (when I started I could only do 10 mins no added resistance) and size 10 Abercrombie and Fitch "Super Skinny" jeans :) 6 months ago I couldn't even shop in that store!

    I hit 15K steps on Sunday and I didn't cry on my daughter's first day of kindergarten (not really health related but a big deal to me!)

    I've done over 300 wall push ups in 2.5 days. I am not strong enough for push ups on the floor yet.

    Even when I was sick with a cold and felt like crap and got kicked out of work I still had a ton of energy to get some cleaning done in the house....keto is great like that.

    I went to the dietitian yesterday ... first visit ... and she told me that I am doing everything right. Gave me a few modifications and told me to keep up the great work.

    the reassurance was much needed! YEAH US!!!:drinker:

    I can see my ankle bones again, and my lower legs are more shapely. No more cankles!

    I've tightened my belt one notch. Some days I can do two. It depends on water retention.

    My stride is normal again. I used to over-pronate because my thighs were so heavy I had to "walk around" them. I noticed my feet are straight again because my thighs are simply rubbing instead of getting in the way. No more waddling!!! It's a HUGE accomplishment for me because I can start walking distances again. I used to have a lot of pain the next day because my gait/stride was off and my feet/ankles were taking impact in the wrong areas.

    I had my first non-scale victory EVER today!

    While cleaning my room, I happened upon a chocolate-bar from before I joined MFP. Feeling that I deserved it (I haven't eaten those types of sweets in a MONTH), and below my calorie limit, I decided to go ahead and eat it anyway. Not only did I only eat two squares, but I realized that it was almost disgustingly sweet! I had no desire to continue.

    As a life-long choco-holic, I've never turned down a candy-bar in my life...especially not partway through it. I know it doesn't seem like much, but to me this is HUGE!

    WELL DONE!!!!

    Speaking as a chocoholic it's the hardest thing to do, only the other day I treated myself to chocolate after a 10K run, then ate nearly all of it, :\, so well done you. X

    I took a bridesmaids dress for my sister's wedding to a tailor today for hem and strap alterations. This dress, which fit like a glove back in May when I ordered it, was definitely roomy and had to be taken in at the waist!

    Thats some extra alterations money I'm happy to pay for!
