    My son asked me how in the world I gained back all of the weight I've recently lost. Then he stopped and said, oh, wait, you're just wearing really baggy clothes!

    These clothes are my husband's shorts that used to be way too small for me and a tank top that is now apparently too baggy as well.

    Even though he didn't word it quite the way I'd have liked to have heard it, I know what he meant and how proud he is of me! Can't beat that from a (nearly) 17 year old boy! :D

    I worked a night shift last night, drove four hours to get home with zero sleep. Was going to go to sleep when I got home but couldn't so I got up and started watching TV and snacking and messing around on MYFITNESSPAL when I decided instead to get my a** up and workout. I did 70 minutes on the elliptical at a 15 resistance. Woot!

    I didn't make the best decisions for lunch today, and in the past while trying so hard to be on "diets", I would've completely blown the rest of my day. However, I stopped mid-way through what I was doing and realized that I was eating based on boredom. Then got my son in his stroller and we went for a walk to burn off 200+ calories. Old me NEVER would've done that and I didn't realize how big it was for me until I completed today's entry :)

    Earlier today the doctor told me, "You've lost weight, haven't you?" and it wasn't even my appointment. :-) My partner (whose appointment it was) then chimed in about how hard I've been working. That makes it a double NSV!

    Love your pillbug avatar, GormanGhaste.

    A tiny NSV for me today, and actually my first NSV that I can think of: I'm going to my mom's for a couple of days tonight, and for the first time since I can remember I'm actually packing workout clothes so that I can continue my C25K program while I'm there :) I'm a little proud of myself for sticking with it!

    Yesterday a friend said 'your jeans are getting all baggy at the back' . I realised I had to keep hitching them up as they were sagging. They are my newish size 14 UK skinny jeans!

    I bought a weight set today and pretty sure I've found my calling. I cannot weight (lol see what I did there) until my next weight session :happy:

    This is yesterday's, but I'll post it anyway. The stats for the sprint triathlon I was in Sunday were posted. I cut 30 seconds of my time for the 1/3- mile swim and 6.5 minutes off the 9-mile bike ride compared to when I did this race in 2011. Same bike- it's the heart rate monitor I use that motivates me to step up my workout pace when I'm getting lazy. Can't compare the 5K time with 2011 since the last part was a 3K last year, but my total time was only 3 minutes slower despite the extra 2K on the last leg.

    Even better, this is for a local competition among companies and I was just hired by this company late last year, at age 59. I told 'em I'd get into all the distance events (mile run, half-mile run, 5K, 200 meter swim). You can rack up massive points in this age group even with moderate times because there's so little competition. And I delivered!

    My father died Tuesday. No, I did not worry about my calories. But I did log. It made me feel better to keep up my normal routine. That was a huge victory for me personally.

    I'd like to extend my deep condolences for you and your family's loss and pain.
    Blessings and strength to you and yours.

    Yeah, that's happened to me. I joked to DH that I had to take my pants to the tailor for a butt-lift!

    I was able to put a size 6 on. I couldn't button them but the fact that I could even get them up that far was exciting. lol

    I have definition, and *gasp* even a muscle, in my biceps! Don't remember the last time I've had definition anywhere on my body! :happy:

    I sewed a sundress a month or so ago. I've already altered it once. I'm wearing it at work today...I need to alter it again.

    I have short legs and when you combined that with my fat waist, I always had to buy pants that were 2 to 4" too long and then have them hemmed.

    This past weekend I was able to buy pants that fit right off the rack! I know, not such a big deal for some of you but it's probably the first time for me since I was a teen.

    My NSV today is that my co-worker had to pin the back of my pants so they won't fall down :laugh:

    My kids are in a band and have been making the "open mic" circuit this week... I've sat in restaurants for 4 hours, two nights in a row ordering nothing but an unsweetened iced tea one night and a diet Pepsi the next. I had to stand a menu up so I wouldn't have these lovely buttery garlic bread slices staring up at me. I chewed gum until my jaws hurt! I even had calories left over so I could have eaten something, but chose not to. That's huge for me.

    i was coming down the steps of my front porch to get to my car this morning wearing denim shorts and i kid you not, the shorts are so big on me they slid down my bum until i must've looked like some straight thuggin' gangster.

    guess it's time for a belt!

    Today, I am officially too small to wear the jeans I had been hoarding in my closet and thought I may never get back into, turn outs I got into them and back out of them.... I need all new ones :)

    I've been wearing size 8 pants for a long time, which I realize isn't an awful thing, but today I put on a size 6 for the first time in months and they fit! In fact, instead of being tight like they used to be, they're actually kind of loose! I've had to pull them up a bit a few times today, whereas before they we uncomfortable to sit in at all. I'm super excited about it since the past few weeks have been less than perfect in terms of what I've been eating due to family gatherings and whatnot, so I'm happy I haven't gained anything back. I'm also excited because while I don't think I look any smaller than when I started, this proves that I definitely am!

  • Someone at work told me they can tell I've lost weight. That is the first time someone outside of my parents has made a comment. Made me feel good.
