    Today, even though I went over my calorie limit last night, I still feel GOOD. I feel strong, like progress is being made and I am not longer beating myself up about a mistake here or there. :DB)

    I can do 30 seconds of jumping jacks with little fatigue. When I started in September, I could barely go 10 without dying.

    My trainer called me a "beast" the other day when I did my first ever "real" deadlift. It was only 155 lbs but he seemed impressed. Probably because I'm almost 65............ :D and just started lifting weights recently although I've been going in that direction for over a year.
    OMG! You are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

    Hah, thanks. I'm having a lot of fun lifting weights and getting a little bit stronger every day. Wish I would have done this years ago.

    I stood up to cook our entire supper. Lots of vegetable chopping about halfway through I thought wow I'm almost finished chopping and I'm standing.

    I had to go by a new smaller belt and a wedding band 3 sizes smaller. Could not keep my old one on.

    Went for my first run of the year, finally breaking the cold winter spell :-)

    Good job! We just got hit with more sub-zero temps for the next couple of days. Spring seems like a million years away :'(

    I have not had a good week as far as working out, due to a bunch of unexpected work/toddler illness issues. But the NSV is that I am not beating myself up about it. I know it doesn't mean I am backsliding. I can hit it hard this weekend and get right back on track. So long as I eat ok, I wont undo everything I have been working so hard for.

    Same here on the work out front and I'm not beating myself up, either. Sometimes life just gets in the way and on those days, I just focus on staying within my calories/macros.

    Ledbetter from Texas? My Librarian in elementary was named Mrs.Ledbetter. Trinity, East Texas. I wonder if you are related? Anyway, I just wanted to say that is a great NSV. B)

    I went in the dressing room with 2 pairs of jeans, size 9/10. Those were too big so I tried a 7/8. Those fit alright but felt a little lose and since I plan on losing about 10 more pounds, I figured I'd TRY the 5/6, just to see how tight they were. The 5/6 fit great so I bought those!

    I asked for an apple with my Panera salad today instead of the bread. Man, is it hard to walk out of Panera with no bread!

    Today I am wearing a skirt that is four sizes smaller than when I started. I have been holding my bottoms up with safety pins, and purchased this skirt and a pair of slacks. I think it is time to hit the thrift store for a few more bottoms. I am not done yet but being in a size I have not been in for a long long time makes me feel like I am walking on air.

    This is one I can relate to strongly! I'm usually fatigued so I have to sit halfway through.

    i have been struggling to visualise how much my body has changed especially around my tummy/hips, so i got out a pair of work pants that was getting a bit snug before I started this process in July, just to see how they would fit now (its been summer, so I have been in dresses for months). I held them up in front of me and I now pretty much fit behind one leg of the pants! Granted, I am not 2-D and so its not like I'm half the size I was, and they are wide-leg pants, but I felt pretty damn good.

    i'm on day #8 of 20 000 or more steps in a day (consecutive days). It's a big deal for me because my husband has been out of town so I haven't been able to go running (I have 2 young kids and it's been too cold to take them outside).

    Also I hit 10 million lifetime steps on my Fitbit earlier this week!

    I can once again grasp my elbows behind my back!!

    8931969.png

    Wait -- that's a thing? Grasp the opposite elbows from behind, both at the same time? I feel super uncoordinated now and apparently still too fat to do this, although it feels like my backbone is in the way, not my fat.

    I honestly can't figure out how to grasp one.

    Can you explain more?

    I started on MFP near the beginning of November, and have lost 25 pounds. I went to Goodwill yesterday to look around (it's a new location) and I grabbed two dresses in a size Large. I typically wear an XL or larger, sometimes. They both fit, and I was inspired to purchase new tights and shoes, which also turned out a size smaller! I'm super pumped, I can't remember the last time I've purposely bought a Large! I still have 75 pounds to go, so I know I'll be in this size for awhile, but at this point, I don't care.

    A month ago I had to buy a new pair of suit pants for an interview because the pants I had were too big. Yesterday I went to a viewing for an old co-worker who had passed away. I had to have that pair of suit pants pinned in the back because they were loose.
