    I actually have a progress pic comparison for the first time! Also today, I got to rack the (gasp) 45 pound plates!!!! Have never been able to play with those before! @shadow2soul GO YOU! I was just able to bump up to 40lbs and I felt all badass even though I know that's nothing compared to most people LOL

    I had only walked 4,000 steps today when I got home, but despite being tired and went to the park and made my 10k. Now I have my energy back again!

    How can the world cope with so much awesome?

    I'm loving the Jaffa cake portioning and the personal best records

    Oh and thanks @dufus12 ...my trainer put me through 3 sets of 12 assisted chin-ups, deadlifts, chest press, assisted pull-ups then into jumping press-ups and TRX last night before legs and I felt slightly less awesome ;)

    However I am intensely jealous of @sabrinalina pull-ups (takes a moment for hero worship)

    And now In my head I have the Lego song "Everything is awesome" going round and round (you are welcome for the earworm)

    Today will be day 9 straight of 30DS, I'm so proud of myself for not throwing in the towel due to poor scheduling, and even working out over last weekend ( which has never happened before)

    I ran 1.28 miles (short run) at a 9:21 pace! I'm working toward getting my 5k pace to a 10:00 min/mile or less.

    I haven't throat-punched anyone today...yet.

    And I also got my size 8 jeans buttoned and zipped this weekend, while still breathing :)

    Yesterday was my 60th day on MFP, and I'm down 37 pounds. SW 315, scale this morning 278. I'm aware many will consider this too rapid, but I'm feeling great.

    Walking 20-30 miles/week. Strength training 3x/week. Just swapped out about 6 shirts that were too big for some I haven't worn in 4 years. Switched to the smaller belt and needed the 2nd notch already. Weight belt fits without needing the extra holes I made a few months ago.

    Finally accepting this is my new lifestyle, and NO MORE EXCUSES!

    I have been told my several people this week that I inspired them to hit the gym. I also was able inspire a social group I belong to change some of our social events from drinking/food events to doing a few fun 5k's.

    You are awesome. After working at this for years and giving up often I finally went from being 199 to 140 and I will not quit until I am done.

    I can now do 5 proper pushups. This may not seem like a lot for many people, but for someone with spaghetti arms, it's a major accomplishment.

    Everyone is so amazing- way to go!

    I went to the gym for my 3 month fitness test for the program I am in and last time, I leg pressed 190lbs for 6 reps. This time? 510lbs for 6 reps. What the hey- this is just from walking and bodyweight exercises. Now I know why my weight has not been changing much recently...lol.

    And my bench press changed from 45lbs to 65lbs for 6 reps. Woot!
