* I can do 10 leg raises without stopping (when I started, I could barely do 1 and I had to rest before I did another one)

* I can do 35 minutes of kick-*kitten* cardio without needing my inhaler

* I am full and satisfied on my daily calorie goal (maybe time to change it?)

* I can tie my shoes without discomfort and without contorting myself into a funky position so I don't have to bend over

* I can put some of my clothes on without them being tight around the waist

* I can see a difference in the "puffiness" of my face

* I can put my wedding rings on without a struggle

10.5 lbs down and 86.5 lbs to go!!!


What about you??

    Yay You!!!! that's excellent!! I also have noticed the puffiness gone down in my face and fingers and my waist too, lost and inch and a half. and finding it easier to get up and go than the :I don;t feel like doing anything" factor!!! But didn't notice any of that until you posted this so thank you!!! and yay me!!!

    thats great! I'm only almost a week in i think.
    my only big accomplishment so far is that i have given up my pop and been drinking WATER all day long! Someone I NEVER used to do.

    That's fantastic! I've only been "at it" (lol) for just over a week but I managed 2 minutes (not massive but massive for me!) on the cross trainer in the gym - i've NEVER managed to do that piece of equipment before for longer than about 30 seconds...

    I'm more aware of what I'm eating - and yes I do feel a little guilty if I eat something I know I probably shouldn't be eating (like my pasty today) but it's a far cry from sitting on the sofa and polishing off a whole box of cadburys chocolate fingers... which I have discovered contain 30 calories EACH!

    I drink much more water now than I used to and a lot less fizzy pop - even though Pepsi Max counts as 0 cals - it's now a treat to have a can and not my regular drink...

    Can't wait to see what new things I'll be changing and doing over the next few months!

    That is awesome. Congrats. I am down 18 lbs 2-1/2 weeks and I have noticed lots of changes too.

    * My clothes are looser, specifically around my hips and thighs. Waist too, but not as much as the previous two.
    * I don't notice the difference in my face, but other people do, and they are asking me what it is I'm doing to lose weight.
    * Ditto on tying my shoe laces.
    * On the elliptical, I used to barely do 20 minutes and now I'm up to 60 minutes without stopping and with minimal slowing down.
    * Ditto on feeling satisfied with the amount of food I'm eating now. In fact, sometimes I feel that I'm eating way too much because I get so full so fast.
