YOU KNOW HOW IT HITS YOU THAT YOU LOST WEIGHT WHEN YOU TRY ON AN AWESOME PAIR OF OLD JEANS (that you could never let go). THIS WAS MY MOMENT :D BUT DIFFERENT. 15 minutes of my daily cardio consist of walking my dogs they're both german shepards & the male is HUGE. its sometimes really difficult because they get so hyper. So its hard enough to simply walk them .today they decided to race and before i knew it. the three of us were running down the block. I could have never done that before and it felt GREAT!!! So instead of walks we might just start taking runs :) AWESOME MOMENT!! TOOT YOUR HORN AND SHARE YOUR MOMENT OF TRUE GRATIFICATION :)

    Keep up the good work! Congratulations on getting back into those old jeans. I Was in 40 size waist three months ago down to 36's. I know it isn't much but shoot it's something:)

    I know I'm in shape and all cause people tell me all the time, but I never feel in shape or in shape enough. It does feel pretty good when people you don't know stop you to compliment you though lol

    I haven't been losing the weight the last few weeks like I had been the first month, but I still felt like I was making stides. I still get stuck in my head sometimes that losing weigh = success. However, yesterday in three different situations I had people mention how amazing (their word, not mine) I've looked lately. I don't think I look that much different, but I had the confidence to wear some tighter, form fitting clothes because of this journey. So really, even though I haven't changed my shape to what I want, my "in shape" is all about the confidence I gain from this.

    I knew I was in shape when I could wear a party dress without wearing support underwear. Amazingly this happened when I was still a UK size 16 (currently a 12). The benefits of lifting weights :drinker:

    Not only did i notice in my jean getting loose but my 13 y.o. said, "dad, you have lost a lot of weight." That made me feel good and better about myself.

    Today when my husband asked if I was wearing his jeans because they look massive and for the first time in our 11 year marriage I realised I have a smaller waist than him now :love:

    I ran 3 miles today. And I walked home. I feel fine Lol. Any other time I would have died at mile 1 or better yet 0.5.. My endurance is incomparable to what it was even a month from now, I feel very proud to know the hard work that I have put into my cardio training is paying off, my legs look and feel awesome too :P

    Went out for cycle with OH. Last year he left me in the dust going up the hills, this time it was me shooting ahead. Granted it was a combination of me being a lot fitter than last year and him being less fit. Felt great, only because I was afraid after all my work that he'd still end up leaving me behind. Now cycles are just for cycling together, and opportunity for exercising together and motivating each other. I go lift weights or do some HIIT when I want to push myself.

    I got two separate compliments today. Not sure if that is wardrobe or weightloss related, but I will take it. :)

    Awesome, congrats! Love the story about running with your dogs.

    April 1st ago I walked 4 miles (rested in the middle for an hour) and it almost killed me. Yesterday I walked 7 miles with no problem. Something has changed.
