    Bought a nice dress in 2013, a nice little black leather dress. Never fit me. Today for the first time, it fit me. Hard a hard time getting it would off because the zip stuck but managed to unstick it. Three months ago in the doctors surgery I weighed 95 kg(209 lb+), was angry, frustrated and upset at myself. Lost a little weight on my own and got to 91 kg (200 lb+). Met with my consultant and now today weigh 82.3kg (181 lb+). Total loss so far 12.7 kg (27 lb +). BMI is now 31.5. No more obese me now I'm just overweight.

    I didn't late night snack at all this week. Started IF and it is really making a difference!

    This might not seem like a success, but for me it actually is. A coworker gave me a fun size snickers today and I ate it! I sat there and stared at it for about 10 minutes, thinking about giving it away like I normally would with sweets, as it made me hungrier and hungrier just having it in my presence.
    I have a pretty unhealthy relationship with food and for a long time I've basically cut out all sweets and desserts (other than fruit and yogurt, maybe some granola now and again). I have convinced myself that I can't control myself around sweets, so I just avoid them at all costs... All the while knowing in my mind I don't want to go the rest of my life without ever having Ben & Jerry's or Haagen Dazs again.
    Just reading what everyone has to say on the forums, and how a lot of people treat themselves often as long as it fits in their calorie allotment, that really made me think that maybe I can just have a small portion of something I love and it won't kill me or ruin everything I've worked so hard for!
    So yep, I ate the snickers! And I enjoyed it!

    I started using a Fitbit on Tuesday and blew all of my coworkers out of the water in the workday challenge. Even the fit, athletic and in shape and much younger girl who is very active is finding it difficult to keep up with me. And I am down another half pound since Monday. D

    Weight training 3 days this week, managed to increase the load. Substituted elliptical for treadmill for the intervals today and my knee does not want to take me out and shoot me.

    Last month I bought two pairs of size 14 jeans and have been too afraid to try them on. I wore them both this week.

    Worked out all five days of the workweek, bought a swimsuit and didn't worry too much about it (who's signed up for summer water aerobics and has two thumbs? THIS GAL), have logged every single thing I ate or drank even when it put me way over my goal, replaced my food scale and have used it religiously since it arrived, planned a 5K with a couple friends for tomorrow.

    If I eat nothing but what I've pre-logged for today and tomorrow and don't work out, I'll be 297 calories over my goal for the week, which means my deficit will still be large enough to lose a little more than a pound. (Doing the 5K will actually put me spang on target to lose 1.5 pounds.) I don't expect to actually see that loss on the scale given that I've just started lifting, but hot damn, I'll take it by the numbers anyway!

    I had to tighten my bra to the last clasp today. I realized all week it was sliding up because it is now loose.

    I got outside today anyway, despite the fact that the weather was crap and I wasn't even sure if I wanted to go.

    Almost repped 225 lbs 4x8, came up with 8,8,7,7. Regardless, since the year plus I've gotten back into the gym and since re-starting barbell work, I've added +135 lbs to my bench since last April.

    My weight loss surgeon told me he was excited when he saw my weight written down in the chart. :)

    Chaperoned a sleepover field trip where there was pizza, ice cream, sodas, and all sorts of goodies. Thought ahead and packed myself a solid lunch and dinner the night before and stuck with it.
