    I have a few which I'm very happy about.

    Several friends told me I've lost a lot of weight (even though I didn't lose a lot at all).
    I've been exercising for eight full weeks, which is amazing.
    My resting heart rate is down to 50ish. It always used to be around 80ish.
    Yesterday was two months without cigarettes.
    And the biggest one is that my brother told me he was proud of me, out of the blue, for exercising and losing weight. And he's not someone who usually says things like that.

    Last night I climbed on the roof with my daughter to watch all the fireworks going off around us. It's been years since I climbed in the roof.

    After losing a party game last night at a BBQ, an ex-Marine/personal trainer jokingly commands me to "drop and give me 20." Not only did I kill it, but I also I got a round of applause. Thank you body weight strength training.

    I went holiday clothes shopping today and found I have gone from a UK 20-22 to a 16-18 in the last 4 months. Woohoo!

    I started using 15lb free weights in about half of my workout today.

    I felt confident enough to buy a tank top. This way I can become a little less pasty.

    More efficiently sweating during my workouts. I find now that I'm losing weight and increasing my fitness significantly, I sweat a lot more while exercising and secretly (or perhaps, not so secretly now) really like it! I feel strong!

    Oh, my husband walked in the room and went, "Your neck! It's so slim!" :D

    Last night my husband wanted take aways for dinner. I was ok with that since I'd done a big run earlier in the day. But didn't want to go crazy. So we settled on fish from the fish & chip shop, but rldry roasted some potatoes and other veg instead of chips and had heaps of other veg on the side to fill us up. It was delicious, I didn't have regrets, and I didn't feel gross afterwards from too much greasy food. And best of all, our good choices meant I was still within my kj budget for the day. WIN!

    While working on the house, my knee joints (the skin is tender, but that's a different non-weight related thing) didn't bother me while kneeling/crawling around on all fours when cleaning and weeding. I only had to reposition my knee once from pain.

    Went to buy some more gym clothes yesterday and asked the shop assistant to get me a medium and a large in the top I wanted. She looked at me and said "is it for you?" when I said yes she said I would only need a small. I didn't think it would fit but when I tried it on it was perfect :) Made my day!

    For the first time ever, I did my 2 mile run with a pace of under 10 min/mi! :smiley:

    I can fit into the baby doll tees I bought 10 years ago without looking at extra rolls of fat. Yesterday, I wore one of my 7 year old's tees by mistake.

    I injured myself last weekend and gave myself the idiotic opportunity to eat whatever I want for a week. I kept saying "last day today I promise, I might as well enjoy it". I was afraid I'd throw it all away like the first time I lost the 12kg. But today I woke up, weighed myself (didn't lose or gain), had a workout and ate within my calorie limit.

    Yay

    I entered and finished a 4-mile run on Saturday. My time was exactly 1 hour, and I was NOT LAST.jlg2gg346qn5.jpg

    I looked in my closet this morning and realized I love wearing almost everything my wardrobe. (and decided to get rid of the couple of things I don't)

    Why on earth has this never occurred to me? I only want to keep the clothes I love to wear!

    Great job way to go :)

    I just finished week 5 day 2 of couch to 5k and I feel very good. I was not at home when the 5 minute cool down walk was done so I decided to just run back home and added an extra 4-5 minutes to the total run. Today as the first time I felt like could keep going and be able to finish the couch to 5k with no problem, in the past it always was I can't even finish out this week this day.

    I thought it was just me! I sweat so much more now! Hahaha my husband (super fit guy) says he's jealous when I come home from a run soaked because it's like built in air conditioning.

    My NSV is how much more active I've been recently. Especially my c25k. I did week 4 day 2 today and last time, I had to walk a few steps during the last 5 minute run, but today, I put on a good song and ran my heart out... Slow as a turtle, but still running :) Also, I've been taking my dogs on almost daily walks on top of my runs and doing stronglifts. Lotsa exercise for me!

    I haven't gained any during the past two weeks, even though I am two weeks tobacco free.

    When I did my ab exercises this morning, I could isolate my abs and do the exercises using only my core muscles. I hadn't realized before that I wasn't really doing this, but now that I am stronger I can really feel the difference and control those muscles voluntarily.

    I have only lost 14 lbs, but since I have been heavy lifting I noticed that I automatically stand up straighter. Walking up 2-3 flights of stairs does not kill me, and I was able to sit in a cross-legged stretch yesterday at the gym.

    Lifted today for the first time in 2 weeks do to a herniated disc between L4/L5....just that was good enough for me for today.

    This dress! It's from Rent the Runway. I had originally ordered a 2 with a 4 as my backup size. But about a week before this wedding I decided to change the backup size to a 0. And wore it!

    Went shopping on the 4th in just a pair of shorts and a tank top. You wouldn't catch me dead with my arms out before. I'd sooner wear a long sleeve top in the middle of summer. I still have arms that could take flight but I am happy with how they look now.

    It's been 1 year since I started taking my measurements and I've lost 21.5 inches overall. In that time I've only lost 27 lbs so it is so big to me that the number doesn't take the scale into account :D.

    Went with my family to see fireworks on Saturday night. My niece wanted to sit on my lap so I could cover her ears (cute) and I wasn't worried about the weight limit on the camper chair. Before I don't know if I would have been able to do it.
