Share share shaaaare! :)

Mine was getting some positive reinforcement from a fellow gym member who asked what I was training for as I was running on the tread and I said a 5k at Thxgiving. He said "You're already at 2.5 miles now (I was running a 5k on the tread at the time), you have great form, and you seem like you're still breathing even- you're gonna kill that 5k!"

That was really nice- a major high point of my day!

    I do Zumba at a dance studio, so of course the wall at the front of the class is mirrors.

    Today, for the first time, I was able to watch myself dance in the mirror and not think I looked like the biggest heifer in the room.

    My Men's 38 waist jeans keep slipping down. I'm going to have to get some 36's.

    I was showing someone, who has only known me the last couple months, a picture of me and my brother from February and he thought that I was someone else.

    Tries on a pair of shorts I bought approximately a moths ago.... it was a size 12 and now it's become way too loose for me? It was high waisted and it kept slipping off!!

    My dad noticed! He is the gruff type. He never notices anything and certainly doesn't give out compliments much. But last night, I was over at my parents' house for his birthday. I hadn't seen him in a couple months (he is always working or napping when I go visit them). He asked me how much weight I had lost. When I told him about 20 lbs, he told me I looked nice. That comment made my night.

    I wasn't embarrassed to take my shirt off in front of my tattoo artist today, not bra btw, but all I had on was a sports bra and half shirt and I wasn't humiliated!!

    I ran my fastest mile yet in 9:35! Just a minute longer than my time in high school:) Finished 3 miles under 30 minutes so I am very happy today!

    I tried on clothes (pants, specifically) and there wasn't one pair in the house that I couldn't get on. A few had to be weeded out because they are too big. This is the second "weeding out" I've done since starting MFP!

    A girl who hasn't seen me in a couple months told me last night that I was looking 'fit' (like MFP fit not the UK version of the word). Much better compliment then being told you've lost weight or look skinny

    For the first time maybe ever, I ran ten minutes in a row. I'm coming from a fitness level of "severe pain in the side when attempting to run," so it's a pretty big deal for me. And onward I go :)

    tried on a shirt that i had in the back of my closet. it was too tight before and i had to stretch it out before i out it on. today it fit perfectly. no stretching required. and i guess that lead to confidence when i went out and had a guy totally "check me out". i've never, ever, ever, ever had that happen to me.

    scale isn't moving but my figure is! :D I may not have "ripped" abs just yet, but I definitely have abs now, it's kind of weird. I've obviously never ran my hands down a fit guys body.... except that one time....anyways, but yeah my abs are becoming increasingly more noticeable week by week and I'm over the moon. I'm still about 4 lbs from my "goal weight" , hoping for even better things over this next month :D

    The rest of you keep up all the great work!

    2 for me today

    A colleague I havent seen in a few months said 'have you lost alot of weight?!'

    Was standing in a meeting with lots of other people, a large tv at the front of the meeting went on to standby and i caught a familiar fat guy looking back at me through the reflection in the black screen. IT WAS THE GUY STANDING NEXT TO ME! I thought it was my reflection but i was the one next to him i didnt recognise. It was such a weird moment and i had a massive smile on my face.

    Yesterday I everything I wore was a UK size 18 and it fitted great. I also bought a tweed jacket which is an 18 and it fits great and looks really good. The last time I bought clothes that were size 18 I was at University 11 years ago.

    In addition, I've not weighed myself since I was 13 and at school, but on Wednesday I realised I wasn't frightened to do so anymore so I went out and bought a scale and hey, now I know how much I weigh (and I guessed exactly right, to within a pound, how weird is that?).

    I went to Walmart yesterday and was looking at some of their cheap sale's racks for clothes (why spend over $5 for something that I'm not going to be able to wear soon?!) and I grabbed a black tee that I thought was a large for $3. When I got home and looked at the tag again, it was a medium... I was like "Crap... I'm going to have to wait awhile to wear this." :ohwell:

    But I tried it on anyways, and it fit. To a tee. I was so very excited! So I can now wear a medium. And my size 10 pants are fitting again! Go me! :happy:
