    A doctor casually referred to me as a 'slim person'. An actual doctor said I was slim, I was so chuffed! :p

    I have a few!

    Clothing related:
    I caved and bought new jeans when I put my old pair on and it felt like cinching a potato sack. I went from size 12 to size 8, which is a size I've never been. I'm even wondering if I should have gone for the size 6, instead. I'm also realizing that I need a new belt.

    I pulled out a medium shirt that I haven't fit into for almost 5 years the other day, and wore it to work. I was confronted by a coworker the same day who wanted to know how much weight I'd lost and how I'd done it.

    Exercising:
    I like running now. I realized that I've always pushed myself to go too fast, instead of working up to it. Now I pick a pace (about 11-12 min. miles) that I can keep up for forever and just run most days. I've finally gotten below a 10 minute mile when I do push myself.

    I hosted Christmas this year and ended up with tons of leftover sweets that are past their prime now.
    I threw away cupcakes, cookies, bourbon balls and pie last night that were still sitting around and starting to taste off/stale. Used to be I'd just eat them all right away so they wouldn't be wasted. Last night I decided I wasn't eating it if it wasn't amazing. No stale pie for me! NSV for sure! I also gave a ton of it away to visitors over the weekend and this was just the bits I still had left.

    Going out and walking even in the scorching summer we are having in my country. I feel like I am not longer the person that was always looking for comfort instead of doing what needed to be done! :)

    I can relate. It's amazing what you're willing to do to get the results you desire. Before I joined a gym I was outside walking in the heat, rain, and cold!

    Challenge completed! This year I have cycled, run, walked, rowed and generally shimmied my way across a distance of 10,000km. Last year I managed 3,700km or so in 6 months so I have completely smashed my record. The biggest day was doing 263km on the stationary bike in a row! This I have managed despite illness, moving home, stress with the family, a few holidays and general lazy days! So now out to celebrate italian style :)

    I have a NSV everyday when I manage to roll out of bed 30-45 minutes earlier than I have to in order to work out before work. I hate waking up early and doing it when I get home for work is out of the question.

    I just started back MyFitnessPal and exercising, and while doing my exercise video, I wanted to stop it and sit down so bad (it's been about three months since I've exercised, and I'm out of shape), but I didn't. I pushed through.

    I still don't understand this 100 percent, but here goes.

    I'm a grinder(my teeth when I sleep), my dentist says the worst she's treated. After dropping 50 pounds and adding exercise, I no longer take any meds for BP, GERD and a bunch of other crap, I also grind less. Last I was there the tech mentioned me getting a new splint(nightguard to prevent grinding) for my mouth. I didn't question it until they wanted me to come in to fit the split, then I questioned who was paying $500.00 for the split. The girl at the desk said "no charge, DR. X wanted you to try this, your bite has likely changed and she thought you'll like this better". I knew there was a chance that some of my medical conditions were due to weight, but my dental, I would not have expected that.

    NSV Alert: I went shopping yesterday. My Guess size 11AU /7US jeans have become very unattractive in the butt & belly, adding unnecessary bulk to my frame.

    Yesterday I braved a shop I haven't been in for 6.5 years. It was a very emotional thing for me as I last went in there just after moving to Australia & being at my highest weight (97kg/213lb). At just 5'3 and a dress size 18AU/14US, there was nothing in this entire store for me.

    It hurt me so badly because I hadn't really realised until then just how bad everything had gotten.

    To make matters more confronting was the fact that I was this store's key demographic. At 20 years of age with disposable income and a love of style, I was their target market completely if it were not for the fact that their clothes stopped 2 sizes below my needs.

    I was still squeezing myself into 14s then so technically they carried my size. I tried things on. I fit nothing. I was embarrassed. I was confused. I told myself they were a small fit. I went home and cried.

    Yesterday, I purchased 2 pairs of size 10AU/6US jeans and size Small top from this store.

    It has taken 6.5 years, numerous tears, endless sweat, several tantrums, plenty of restarts, 4 fad diets and lots of personal growth. I had a little joyful cry in the changing rooms, handed over my card and left feeling like I did 20-year-old-me proud.

    So happy for you!!

    My thighs don't rub together when I walk! Yes!! I have been able to take clothes out of the "clothes that don't fit me because they are too small" basket and have had to start a donation bag for "clothes that don't fit me because they are too big"!

    Today my best friend and I went shopping for a dress for me to wear in her wedding, A year ago, I would have dreaded trying on dresses since I could never find anything that was pretty and fit. Today, I would start with size and she would keep bringing me smaller ones in the same dress. I finally left the store with a pretty dress in a size 8!!!!!

    I haven't been eating very healthy the last week or so, but am back at healthy eating and exercising. I came down stairs in my work out clothes this morning and added 5 minutes to my usual time on the eliptical. I even put on my shoes on the stairs didn't sit on the recliner or anywhere else to get me side tracked. I am back at it.

    I keep a mileage journal and I have reached each goal that I set this year. I just finished a 6 mile power walk and I managed to end this year walking 1700.20 miles. I am feeling pretty damn proud of myself. My total walking miles since joining MFP is 2700.20 miles. Looking forward to 2017 and wishing you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

    This is a mixed victory, but here goes: I've been in a plateau for the last month or so, due to poor eating choices and just generally overdoing it on the junky holiday food over the holidays.
    However, I've only gained half a pound and once the barrage of holiday shenanigans has ended I think I'll be able to bust right through this plateau and continue on to my goal. No freak outs, no giving up, no extreme tactics- I'm losing weight like a damned adult.

    Made three batches of peanut butter cookies for family and friends (parties) and didn't even have a bite! (And I LOVE peanut butter cookies!!)
