When I started, the baggy tshirts I wore to bed was a sixe 2XL. Last night, I put on a size Large shirt, just to see.. I'm still wearing it, and I don't look like a stuffed sausage!! haha it fits like a baggy tshirt should!0

My best small win is having a healthier heart. My resting heart rate has dropped to 53!!! Fantastic but it took some adjusting to having to workout harder/longer to burn the same calories.
I have a lap!
I'm no longer morbidly obese!
I can run, bike, climb......
I'm 3 pounds away from my halfway point!
Well done everybody!0 -
Eric just reminded me about the whole seatbelt thing, being so big, I was always removing the seat belt strap from my neck and holding it in place over my chest the way it's supposed to. I finally don't have to do that, it stays in place! However, we all know bad habits die hard and I still find myself holding the seat belt strap, lol0

I'm so happy for you all!
I can totally relate to the feeling when you run for your first 2 minutes without stopping
My first 20 mins running I had tears in my eyes I was so happy
Now I try to run 5 miles at least once a week which takes around an hour and working on running a 10k.. I know I'm going to be a mess of emotions and tears when I cross the finish line haha0 -

Let us know when you are going to run it so we can give you some mental support0 -
Well, I'm pretty happy that I lost a pound in a week. I know that probably doesn't seem like much, but I have pretty much maintained within a 2 pound range, and I haven't really put in the diligence and effort to track food and exercise like I have this last 10 days. I have just winged it. I felt like I could eat like a pig or eat super good, but my weight just wouldn't move because it has stayed mostly pretty steady (other than this last holiday gaining 4 lbs). Being shorter, 3 lbs can change a pant size. So, I worked hard last week, and I lost a pound. That just tells me I can keep doing this and lose 6 more pounds for my first goal.
Keep up the good work everyone.0 -
So, my last "official" weigh in on the site was back at the end of November. And then I really fell off the wagon in December with all the Christmas parties and what have you. When I stepped back on the scale at the beginning of January, I was up nearly 6 pounds.
I finally got my act together this past week and a half and really got my eating back on track. And I've been back at exercising as well. So I was super pleased that I'm only one pound off that last November weigh in number. I'm so close! And it's only downhill from there!
I'm so excited. I feel like I've weighed 250lbs FOREVER. I can't wait to break into the 240s.0 -
i put a lot of the resistance and weights up at the gym today, and ran consistently for 2 mins at a time at 9kph- starting to notice an improvement now. well done to all of you on your victories, i love this thread and reading about your successes and it's a great inspiration and motivator.
also, feel free to add me, always looking to share my journey and yours, love giving support and all that.
:happy:0 -
I ran for 2 whole minutes on the.treadmill today!!
I think that's a huge success! Getting started on running is such an achievement. Congratulations!0 -
I'm finally the weight I say I am on my driver's license!0

Well done guys
I got accused of being on steroids yesterday, felt like giving that person a hug. Pretty much spent the last 6 months hiding away in the gym and avoiding my regular booze buddies, so comments like that make it all worth it! Stay strong people. D0 -
At my 2 week weigh in today I was disappointed that the scale had not budged, not even an ounce. But then I did my measurements and found I had lost 1.5 inches on my waist and 2 inches on my thighs. So win win for me.0

Mine was today when I bent over in front of my sister in law to change my sons nappy and she said "you must have had to buy loads of new clothes" when I asked why she replied " well surely none of your old ones fit you now, you look great"
On a stranger note my brother (who truly speaks his mind no matter what) said to my other brother "she's dissapearing, she used to be a REALLY fat b*****d, now she is just a fat b*****d! :huh: he means well! :laugh:0 -
I fit into the shirt that I started this diet to fit back into!!!! Giddy up! Now to fit into the jeans i bought when I was the thinnest i've ever been...almost there...although I think I popped out of the womb at 220.

I actually had three small victories today that made me happy!
1. The pea coat I have had for a few years now (and which started out rather snug on me) is now so loose that it's time to get a smaller one.
2. When I first bought the belt that I'm currently wearing, I was on the 8th notch in. I only noticed like 20 minutes ago that I'm comfortably on the 13th notch.
3. My favorite ring that I nearly always wear on my right index finger nearly flew off my hand while I was talking to someone earlier.0 -

Awesome thread!
A month in, the scale is not budging... but today someone noticed for the first time that I was loosing weight.
yeah!!!0 -
I'm in one more notch on my belt0

I've had a few that really get me jazzed!
- our manager at work told me it looked like I was losing weight (yay! because I never see the physical changes in myself)
- A patient at work last night asked me why I was wearing someone else's name badge because I didn't look like the person in my badge picture anymore (a photo that was taken 25 pounds ago)
- I kept up with both a fitness boot camp last week and our attempt at an Insanity workout last night during our break at work.0 -
My mom bought me size L work out pants because she said I looked "homeless" in my XL and to my surprise they FIT!! I couldn't believe it! I can't remember the last time I wore Large size anything0
