This vintage etsy buy came in the mail today, and IT FITS!!
Thanks cblue315! I was so pumped to put it on and have it actually fit. I had taken my measurements, and it should have fit, but when it came out of the package I said “no way!” haha Now I just have to find somewhere to wear it! haha1 -
I've kept my lifting training for 2 1/2 weeks. Looking forward to each lifting day :-)0

And that MFP overestimates calories burned?

Nobody cares for a know it all!
How was I taking away from her treating herself & enjoying her candy?assault wrote:I'm glad someone else picked up on that. This is a 'victories' thread. Please don't bring down someone else's accomplishment regardless of it you think it is a success or not.
She probably only had about 1/2 of those 700 calories, and it sounds like this is a rare thing, which is what I recommended. (Actually, my doctor & dietician said not to eat back ANY exercise calories.)
And I've seen so many people here (usually newbies) who don't understand. Most appreciate knowing how MFP works, including the errors, so they can be successful. Sorry you don't see the value in knowing the truth. Maybe after you've been here a while you might.
BTW, the ad hominems should stop. Attacks are not appropriate.

My victory yesterday was that someone at the family gathering I attended, whom I hadn't seen probably since last DEC, came up & asked if I'd lost weight, was amazed when I told her how much, said I look great, look like a different person.3

I just bought new jeans from the misses section, NOT the plus size section for the first time in 7 years. I am on cloud 9!2

I fit into S/XS scrub tops, depending on the manufacturer's vanity sizing.0

MKEgal. I think your post was right on with the advise of not eating back exercise calories. I also know you did it to be healpful and not rude or mean. I also believe not all calories are equal. If all you eat for one week is 1500 cals a day of birthday cake you will loose weight but not get healthy. Eating back exercise calories, especially in candy, is not a good idea. The problem I think is that this is not a forum for for advise, but rather a place to make people feel better sharing there victories.3

I was able to buy size 12 jeans at Old navy. I remember the last time I bought that size was the weekend before I started high school.0

I ran a 5k turkey trot yesterday.... ran the whole time!1

I purchased a winter coat in a size Medium!1

I just bought some new workout tees from Target in size medium! :-) And I've lost 12.5 percentage points off my body fat% since the first of July. My body fat% and BMI are now in the healthy range. I still have some fat to lose and some muscle to gain, but I'm excited that I am moving in the right direction! Plus I increased my weight on the horizontal bench press to 150 lbs. this week.3

I completed a 1x5 deadlift set 5 pounds below my body weight 2 days ago. Monday, I hope to complete a set at my body weight! Not bad for a 30 something year old mom.2

I think it deserves mentioning that it was 48 degrees outside with a heavy mist and north wind. I don't want inclement weather to be my excuse for not keeping up on my workouts. It started actually raining during mile 6 and I looked up at the sky and told those clouds "you can't stop me or hold me back... I am going to get a new PR today!"
Outstanding! That's some dedication there!!0 -
i just bought a coat in Topshop! size 22 me never thought she'd see this day!0

PR today in a 5k race. Earlier this year, I finished a 5k in 35:48 and today, finished with a time of 33:40. In 2013, I finished in over 40 minutes. Progress!2

I have one, I have one! I'm staying at a hotel, and just realised that the normal sized towels wrap around my body, without showing the world everything! (I normally use a massive bath sheet that is very good at not showing the world my everything!)2

That's awesome, well done, and you just totally made me realise that I've reached this NSV too, it hadn't even crossed my mind!

Some Black Friday shopping…. Ran across a pair shorts that I was looking to use as pajama shorts since my last pair literally fell off of me. They looked a little small. I really didn't want to take the time from my family to go try them on, so I just held them up to me and asked my sister if she thought I could squeeze into them. She replied that even if I couldn't, I probably could in another month and since they were only 3 dollars it would probably be worth it. Later that night as I was getting ready for bed, I finally tried on those shorts. Yeah, they fit. They are far from loose, but they didn't feel squeezed into either. They are a 1x. The size of pants I was wearing 7 months ago? 5x.5

Hooray! I zombie-run too. I actually gave up on the training program but restarting running again with the main app and I've stuck with it and am now on Season 2! It's really motivating.
I also have a new NSV from today. A while ago, I started walking to work every second day. When I first started it was so tough on my super-unfit body that it was quite difficult, I got blisters on my feet, a sore leg... the works. I stuck with it. Today I managed to jog the entire 3.5km without stopping once.

I am not at my goal weight yet (got about 10lbs or so to go), but for the first time in YEARS I feel like I look "normal-sized" and not significantly overweight. Wheeeeeeeeee!!!!
(and my BMI is *this* close to being in the normal range, woohoo!)5 -
Since joining a gym and really starting to work on my weight loss five weeks ago, I've averaged 12+ hours of exercise a week...despite having two broken toes and a broken metatarsal in my right foot. I've had to take care not to do certain movements because I want the breaks to heal properly, but I haven't let it be an excuse to myself not to work hard

Yesterday I went to my first workout class in over 6 weeks after breaking my leg. This morning I feel wonderful! I'm a little sore, but mostly I'm no longer feeling stiff in every joint.0

Went to Chipotle for lunch, and it was super busy. I was leaning against the wall/glass for nearly ten minutes because the line was not moving an inch. After a couple of minutes, I felt something strange in my upper arm. It was starting to hurt because I was leaning directly on it. Then, I realized that I could roll it back, and forth under my skin.
I have a baby tricep muscle.6
