    My victory is sprinting up the stairs instead of using the scalator and not getting tired.

    Ok I'm down 5 sizes in pants, 3 sizes in shirts and 2 sizes in shoes. I'm afraid if I keep getting small other things will shrink. I don't have much to lose.
    Amazing!

    Work has free ribs today. I don't like ribs, but normally I would have just eaten them anyway because they were free. Realizing they won't make me happy as a lower calorie, less greasy (but more delicious) choice will was a very special victory to me today.

    The last week has been hell. Like, really, emotional HELL. Family issues have really been keeping me from sticking to my schedule, But I have been to the gym twice through all of this and I have not self medicated with food. I have remained within my calories and made good food choices. This has not derailed me. In the past, it would have. I am stronger than I was.

    This is great! Not the hell week you've had but the fact that you didn't give in. I know it's hard to keep pushing through, and thought I wouldn't wish issues and stress on anyone, it's good to know I'm not alone with that kind of battle. Huge congrats to you and keep it strong!

    I Was getting frustrated over the lack of movement n the scale lately. Measured, and I'd lost 3 more inches from my waist, and 2 more off my hips. That explains why I was literally running my pants off yesterday.-- gotta find $ for a few new pair,

    Great job, everyone!

    I had to toss out my whole closet (even those clothes I was saving until I lost some weight) except for a very, very few really old pieces I couldn't get rid of. I replaced with a small amount a month or two ago, just enough to get me by. Then I realized I needed some jeans so I had casual wear and not just work wear and exercise gear. So this week I went to the Avenue to buy jeans, expecting about a size 24. I fit into a size 20. There's some stretch to them, so a 'real' pair may be a 22, but a 24 damn near fell off my legs! Also, I like my shirts big and oversized, and a 24 did that (a 22 almost did), whereas before I was a 28 or 30. I also wanted a belt so it could 'hang' but also be corralled at the waist to show some shape, and I had to buy that at Target, and I could wear them! Oh, and I can buy 2x tights and such now, instead of ordering 4x or greater from specialty stores.

    I then proceeded to wow my husband when I got dressed up to go to the Fiona Apple concert on Friday -- I'm not very fashionable, but I had a teal shirt with a stretchy black belt and a flowing grey skirt, and I must admit, I looked pretty good, and Mr. Fashion Sense approved (a lot. after. at the hotel. lol).

    Still large, but it's a more convenient large now with lots more options opening up!

    I can't wear all my leather belts now because there's not too much holes on them. And to think I literally couldn't fit in them a year and a half ago!

    I did my measurements today. Down 24.5" in 6 months. I can fit into a size 18, for the first time in a decade! Giving away my clothes that I have been wearing for sooo long felt so good. Nothing like the feeling of just sliding your too big pants off because you don't need to unbutton them......priceless!

    This month, i have started adding INSANITY work outs to my weekly routines... not every day, but one a week... this is AWESOME because i was always too scared if hurt myself trying to do insanity work outs... they kick my *kitten* and i gas out often but I can make it to the end of them!

    Its such a great emotional and physical boost for me!

    No loss on the scale, but lost another inch on my waist and an inch and a half on my hips.

    I can look down and see the #'s on the scale without having to push my stomach in or lean over...

    I have been doing Insanity for the past month like 3 days a week (sometimes only 2) and I had not gone to a gym in over a year.
    Last night my husband said I should join his gym so we can take classes and walk/jog together. (He runs half marathons all the time)
    So I did. I got on the treadmill and for the first time in YEARS I jogged 5.5 miles without stopping. I could have gone more but I have a bad knee and the treadmill makes it worse.

    I would like to thank Shaun T for this!!!

    These are so great to read!!

    The ticker on my phone tells me that it's been 18 days since I've had a cocktail. Wine and weekend social outings were a huge cause for my 10 lb weight gain in the last 6 months, so I decided to cut it out completely for a while. I have so much energy and am sleeping like a baby! It hasn't been nearly as hard as I thought it would be :)
