    I built my son a playhouse from a cardboard box - and I fit through that door to play with him inside!!! This would never have happened 6 months ago...

    That is a seriously impressive play house! I'm bet you're glad you didn't miss out on the fun

    I was cleaning out one of my drawers and found a pair of shorts that were too tight for me to wear last summer. Now they're almost too loose B)

    I can do 3 sets of 10-15 leg raises on the parallel bar in the gym. Two months ago I could do 1 set of 6.

    My favorite jeans ALMOST fit! I can button them but it'll take a few more weeks until I can wear them with no muffin top. 5 months ago I couldn't even get them above my knees.

    I just bought a new pair of work pants last week and they are too loose now :D

    Coworker convinced me to order some mediums since we get new work shirts. My current one is a 2XL and was a little big at the beginning of my weight loss journey. I considered going with just large shirts to be on the safe side. Got told I was small enough and needed to go with medium. hehe

    Swam a personal best 2.5 miles in one workout yesterday! Not bad for a 54-year old fat chick!

    Yesterday, I ran 2.5 miles without stopping. Including my warm up and cool down walks, I completed a 5k in 46 minutes. I'm so pleased. A few months ago, running for more than 1/8 of a mile was almost impossible outside. Now I can run a mile regularly. On a treadmill, I couldn't run further than 1/2 a mile. Now, I'm running 5 times that! Without stopping or walking!

    This happened to me. I got my shirt mixed up with my dad's once, which was medium. And it fit very nicely! Great feeling

    This morning, when I was coming back from working out in the pool at the hotel I'm staying at, someone in the elevator blurted out that I was an inspiration to her because she needed to start swimming in order to be able to wear a bikini.

    This is the first summer in over 25 years that I have worn a bikini. And the first time ever I've felt comfortable in one. :)

    BMI down 11%; body fat down 9%.

    Of course, the goal is another 13%. Ouch. But still - progress.

    That's awesome! I'm about to go down a size in work shirts, too. Great feeling, congrats :)

    I have been working on this for a while I can do 3.5 miles easily on the treadmill, and can do a mile outside. When I started walking a mile was a killer.

    I put on the gym shorts and sports bra I used to wear when I used to run and they're not uncomfortably tight...I might actually go for a short run and I never think "hey that sounds fun." I've been taking the dog for walks, but she gets worn out before I do, so I guess it's time to challenge myself a little more.

    Walking around nekkid and realizing that a section of thigh no longer brushes when I walk that used to. Grabbed the measuring tape--sure enough, .5" down!!!!!

    Can also lace my "fat corset" all the way closed now. It goes down to 26"...the size of waist I used to have when I was on the large size. So encouraging/discouraging.

    LOL I have a "Fat corset" and a "Skinny Corset" (my fat corset was a 48. my skinny one is a 38)... I no longer fit into my Fat corset it is WAY to big.. and I finally fit in my skinny corset (i can put it on by myself in the front and then just have someone tighten it)...

    Your response should be: it's called "in shape" - with a sweet smile on your face!

    My pants are starting to get roomy and they are longer! I suppose I'm not filling them out as much. :)

    I noticed that too !! my pants are longer lol...and the crotch is hanging down lower... lol
  • A couple of days ago, I did my longest run so far...I ran 12.7K without stopping! :bigsmile:

    Ran my first half marathon 10 days ago! :drinker:

    I went from "Mom jeans" to my daughter's jeans, literally! I was a size 22 at my heaviest, and today I'm in a size 10. Just a little farther to go to reach my goal!

    My NSV is that I did tumble turns in the pool this morning for my whole main set. I haven't done them since I was a kid in swim squad, and had been a bit nervous about trying to bust them out again. I tested myself the other day as part of my warm down and was a bit all over the place, but this morning the pool was nice and empty (yay!) and I got in my rhythm and nailed like 95% of the turns, and the other 5% werent horribly embarrassing muck ups. I feel like a real swimmer again!

    You've just inspired me. I'm going to try flip turns when I swim tomorrow morning.

    I pulled two shirts out of the back of my closet that fit again. More might follow, but I'll grab them when I get dressed.

    My morning blood sugars have been in my target range (110-120) the past week and a half. Also, my pants are fitting better this week. I'll take both!
