Mine has been throwing out the pants I had to buy when I was getting too fat. They were officially too big and looked terrible on me. Threw them out so there's no chance I'll wear "fat pants" again :)

    Rolling through the McDonalds drivethru with my kids after their practices and not only not ordering anything for myself even though it smelled soooooooooooo good and I was starving, but also not scavenging any fries out of their bag. Woop!

    Mowing almost our entire acre of (steep, hilly) yard for 100 minutes straight without stopping. I might not have finished, but I usually have to break it up into 3 parts and this time I just went and went and went and went... :):):)

    Just the solid fact that I kept my deficit this week. Sometimes I'm tempted to just eat and eat and then I erase it. :smile:

    Did four workouts! I always say I will, but often stop after 3. So yay for actually reaching my goal

    Yesterday a Victoria's Secret commercial came on and for the first time I did not feel envious of their bodies, I actually prefer my own body to theirs. My ideals have changed and that is a win in my books!

    I'm back on here! I'd been sulking after a scales error (I hadn't instantly lost the huge lump of weight I thought I had).

    Didn't let a busy day throw me off, instead planned and packed lunches for my daughter and myself for both lunch and dinner, instead of using busyness as an excuse to eat out or over eat. Planning works!

    went to a quilt show all by myself. (and realized that i can have fun alone.) although i was annoyed that parking cost me $8 and wished i had someone along to make it worth the cost.

    Got through two Max Insanity Cardio videos this week. Had a PR on the treadmill of 7.5 mph for three minutes. Ran 2.5 miles on the treadmill in 23 minutes. Threw away ALL of my fat clothes (except for one pair of my jeans that I am saving for comparison when I have met my weight goal). Realized I am no longer a fatty during a 6 mile run outside. Tracked my calories accurately all week by measuring and using my food scale religiously. Lost five pounds of water weight from eating like *kitten* the week prior. Learned to accept the fact that I may need a tummy tuck/skin removal to be able to see the abs that are hiding under 10 lbs of loose skin.

    Enjoyed every mile of my 6 mile run on a gorgeous nature trail. It had been a really long time since I truly enjoyed running.

    Last thing: Started lifting. Time to shock my body so I can get rid of the last 23 pounds and so I can mold my body to the shape that I desire.

    Reached my target today!

    My husband described me as skinny.

    I feel like I have incredible energy levels. I love exercise.

    Booked some family activities that I physically wouldn't have been able to do 10 months ago.

    Family event today, and I had lots of "you look really well" comments ( which means not fat anymore...)

    Reached my goal weight today! 30 pounds lost. It took me two years but I knew when I started that I was going to take it slow. I took a few months off in the middle of the year and ate at maintenance. Now I've set a new goal of another 5 pounds. Maybe I can hit that by the new year but I'm not giving myself a deadline.

    Monday I set my goal to maintenance because I was struggling and didn't feel I was "in the zone" any longer. I just didn't want to gain. This morning I woke up and realized I'm back in the zone. I'm glad that I still tracked and maintained instead of gaining or throwing in the towel completely. And this morning I reset my goal to lose 1.8 pounds/week.

    Cleaned out my closet of all the XXL shirts...hello XL. Felt so good. Also today was the first time I could fit into my old waist size 40 pants. Happy day indeed.

    I can do most of the jumpkicks in les mills combat <3 when I first started the program I figured I'd have to finish the first 2 programs before I could even attempt it but now I know I can do it! I'm so proud of myself dor being able to get my feet (and my bum) out of the floor!

    Bought a large symphony chocolate bar because, well, 1) I love chocolate and 2) I crave it at a certain time of the month; AND ate ONLY four squares of it and logged it. Rest is in the freezer to be nibbled bit by bit throughout the week, because my husband doesn't like chocolate, bwahahahaha. In the past I would have finished the whole thing in an hour.

    I have not had any Pepsi Max for 2 whole days! I used to EASILY go through 2 or 3 big bottles a day, so this is a really big thing for me :)

    a suggestion was given to me by the guy that does my workout classes (that also was given to him by his nutritionalist) it was
    Vegetables and meat Only!
    NO bread,
    NO Pasta,
    NO Rice,
    NO sugar,
    No flour products
    I stuck with it which was suprisingly easy as much as i love subway and pasta lol and to my suprise I lost 5 pounds this week!!
    woo hoo!! :)
    yes i KNOW that its not good to lose that fast BUT after I have been in a plateau for about a month i am pretty excited lol

    Sometimes, I think changing it up a little can help get you over a plateau :D You might find that you put a couple back, but overall I think you will be in deficit :) WELL DONE YOU! :D

    I got in to my Primark size 16 Jeggings, which I am happy about as size 16 in Primark is a 14 everywhere else :)

    Make sure you take mints regularly, low carb gave me bad breath, think it's called ketosis, I wasn't even trying to be low carb, I was just preferring salad at the time..
