Tuesday Triumphs!

It's Tuesday again - time for more triumphs! Since last Tuesday, I hit a really tough patch for no apparent reason and with no warning. I spent many days feeling like I should give up. I was hit hard by a scale that didn't move for my Friday weigh-in. I was struck by the lack of support I have coming from my husband. BUT I kept at my program, I remembered that I have a routine and a plan, and only once did I eat something I regret (small bowl of Jelly Bellys) and even then I stayed under my calorie goal for the day. Best of all - I reached out to my social networks and asked for support (so huge for this stiff-upper-lip, never let 'em see you cry girl). And yesterday I was able to decide that I was seizing back my optimism and determination - that is my triumph this week.0

New Tuesday Triumph: The cargo pants that didn't come past my thighs in October, slid right on and buttoned right up with room to spare!0

Love this thread! My Tuesday Triumph - this week I met my first goal of 10 lbs gone and I have logged 25 days today! Whooooo Hoooooo!!0
-
Love this! I am so much happier celebrating these little things than the number on the scale. With my weigh in yesterday I have officially lost 20% of my body weight and am down 2 pants sizes! I would never have thought it possible 6 months ago and I am almost teary typing this. So proud of everyone!0

Kept checking the thermostat because I thought "surely the furnace isn't working". It still says 70 but i'm cold and I realized I'm losing my insulation!0

I don't have a Triumph because I am starting over, again. I love this feed, congrats to everyone. It is uplifting to read and I plan on having a triumph next Tuesday.
Starting over is a triumph too! Onward
Thank you for saying that! I didn't feel like I had anything to celebrate for Triumph Tuesday, as i too am starting over!!!! Here is to NEVER GIVING UP!!!0 -
My Mother ask we , "have you lost weight?" I haven't told her I was trying! I am down 21 pounds form my start weight!0

I felt my medium sized running tights were slightly roomy today. Tried my too tight small sized one and it fit perfectly. Now only the slight muffin top left to go and I'm sure it'll go by the time I reach goal weight!!
And best of all, I did the week 7 day 1 of the couch to 5k app and ran an entire 20 mins. When I started this program I was huffing and puffing after the 2-3 minute runs and couldn't wait for the walking breaks. I never though I could do this! I'm so proud of myself.
Nobody IRL seems to be thrilled but I am and I'm sure each of you know what I'm talking about.0 -
I'm using the third belt hole...and it's comfortable.
ME TOO!! Whoo Hoo! :smooched:0 -
Foot hurting from walking on snow and ice and still doing my workouts!0
-
I ate intuitively! Haha this is a HUGE issue for me... but I ate until I was JUST full and then stopped! A giant success when you love to eat!
Plus it's my birthday and I celebrated by getting 8 hours of sleep last night. 0 -
This is a great idea for a thread! My Tuesday triumph is losing 7 inches over my body this week, and squeezing in the gym today even though I thought I had "no time" Those lost inches motivate me to want MORE! Goal is in sight!0

A sales rep brought in Reeses Cup singles to the office today. Before I knew it I had grabbed one and opened it . . . ;. . . looked at it and decided that it was not worth the 80 calories! So I gave it to my coworker! Yay me!
OMG!!!! I don't think I could EVER do this! I mean with the package open and everything!? Holy Moly, that is will power!
My tuesday triumph is that one of my regular customers actually called me "the skinny one" today. Definitely made me smile because I have NEVER been called skinny before. Ever.0 -
I have a pair of pants that I've been holding onto for an entire decade and they have never fit. They're nothing special. Just some sporty kind of track pants. I kept them around thinking, "Someday". I came close to fitting into them in 2006 but didn't quite make it and ended up putting on quite a bit of weight over the next 4 years. Today I tried them on and they fit. Comfortably.0

My Tuesday started rough, with donuts and soda.
Triumph: made better choices and finished under calories!0 -
My husband commented that my jeans look too big. If he notices, they must be really baggy. He isnt always paying attention to fashion ! Lol0

Great tuesday stories!
I left work 3 hrs late and still had a bunch of errands and was starving - I held it together and was able to make it home without grabbing fast food like I was afraid I would - vicotry is mine, greasy yummy burgers!0 -
I'm doing a plank challenge and I had to do two today to catch up. Over a minute each 0
-
Lost my breakfast at work yesterday so came home and went to bed. Friend phoned and said that for sure she was catchng me on my fitbit steps , seeing that I was sick. WRONG! Did my 14,000 steps anyways. Legs were not sick - tummy was.0
-
The other day I decided to wear all white to the gym and take pics, black tends to make you look nuch smaller, oh and I tucked my shirt too, yesterday...lol0
-
It's not Tuesday but oh well.... ! Today I have officially gone down a pant size and I can wear my ring again, and it's kinda loose!0
-
It's Tuesday again folks! What's new with you this week? I tried on pants at a couple stores yesterday - after 10 years in a size 20, it was kind of wild to put on 18s and zip them up (and they were too baggy in the waist too!). Didn't buy anything though - think I'll wait another few weeks and see about a 16 instead!!!0
-
I successfully planned my meals/snacks for this week and know the workout that I am doing everyday! I lacked a little motivation over the weekend and almost let that sabotage everything. Very happy to be determined once again. I just wish that my hubby would be more supportive of my weight loss0
-
Passed up a homemade burger and fries, which were a lot of calories and fat, for a healthier lunch option.0
-
I have gone an entire week keeping my carbs lower to make sure by blood sugar levels stay low and even. Congrats to everyone!0
-
I am wearing a pair of pants today that I bought over a year ago when I was trying to lose wieght, I even had to take the tags off!They were too small then and they are comfortably loose now!0
-
Had a frustrating start to the day and I didn't get the bagel.0
-
My Bridget Jones hold it all in pants are not as restrictive as they were.......either I'm changing shape or the elastic has gone ????0
-
Having a rough day. Wanted to eat all the things...and DID NOT! I took a nice bath and relaxed instead.
Kept enough calories to have a greek yogurt or frozen fruit for dessert too!0
