I'm not quite halfway to my goal, but I'm definitely seeing changes. :blushing:

And the T-shirt I made to fish for compliments. :bigsmile:
I'll update it every 10 lb & plan to wear it to the gym for a week each time.

Feeling good so far, starting to see/feel muscles as the fat goes away.
And there are stupid little victories like being able to cut my toenails so much easier without so much belly & thigh in the way!
Oh, and I took in my uniform pants 8" in the waist! By next boating season I expect to need to buy a smaller size.
I'm beginning to think that this whole "get fit & slim down" program might be possible. :laugh: :happy:

    Fantastic. I am close to 50 myself and I feel good. I know what you mean when you can do simple things like trimming the toenails. You look great. Congrats and love the shirt.

    Brava! Such progress in only 4 months!
    I'm happy. My doctor is pretty happy with my progress too:
    50 lb in 32 weeks, about 1.5 lb per week on average.
    My next little goals are to be 20% down from my starting weight (220.2), then halfway to goal (220.1 lb).
    your shorts are getting longer
    Yeah, there's less for them to cover in the butt & belly! LOL
    I've taken them in too.
    Hoping to make some spandex capri pants (or even bike shorts) before too much longer, once I can unbury the serger.
    I finally found directions on how to draft a pattern, and I have plenty of fabric.

    ETA: The shirt says the same thing on the back.
    Be sure to put a plastic bag or newspaper between front & back before you take a sharpie to it!

    Had to see my regular doctor for something today, and she was happy with my loss so far too.
    :bigsmile:
    The weight record they had in January was 5 lb heavier than what my scale shows (and of course was higher today too) so they think I've lost 52 lb.
    I had started refusing to be weighed, since it usually didn't apply to why I was being seen & I already knew I was fat. :frown:
