  • I went to the store to buy jeans and grabbed what I thought was a 10 (US), and the third pair I tried on. They were a little tight but only in the way that they will loosen up after wearing for a while. So, I decided to get them anyway because I liked how they looked. It wasn't until after I took them off I noticed that they were actually a size 8!!! I haven't been that small since high school. I was a 12 a year ago.

    I just posted a photo of myself in my profile. This is a big deal for me. Not since gaining all of the weight have I willingly had a photo of myself taken, let alone posted for the world to see. I'm so happy to be able to have photos taken of myself with my family again.

    I walked 6 miles today. I haven't walked that far in a very long time. And it felt AWESOME!

    I got a workout on the weekend. I don't like to exercise around my husband, but I found a way to get in a quick round. We have gone for walks before, but the dumbbell routine is not something he's seen me do. I loose that momentum on the weekend when he's home. Not today! I think I might even get some cardio in while he sleeps!

    I wanted to get back into tennis after buying two racquets during a sale - played games on Saturday and Sunday. Talk about major calorie burning too! Feel like 2016 is on track after bingey holiday madness. Good luck everyone!

    Last night, my bath towel wrapped around my body completely! It usually gapes at the hips, but I had at leas an inch of overlap :)
    THIS feels amazing. Well done!

    My daughter and I were having a "dance party" last night and I took my sweatshirt off and was just in a tank top and she asked me where my stomach went! Lol!

    I only drank a fraction of the alcohol I usually do on some weekends. I have been struggling since Aug. to regulate myself as I seem to go all out and eat so much fast food as a result of drinking. I'm trying to find balance between 1 glass of wine or a couple of beers instead of a whole bottle of wine or a six pack+. I feel like I made great progress today.

    I was able to eat enough to get to over 1200 calories yesterday - NSV because I had dental surgery last week and am only allowed mushy foods (see profile)

    My husband and I went away on a holiday. The place we went to had a 25m pool. I do do aqaurobics, but have not been swimming lanes since 2007.
    Both of us swam 1km (40 lanes) on day 1. Not only that but it was relatively easy to do. I was not tired and not sore. Best part was; we did it again the day after, (still not sore then)

    It made me realise that I am in so much better shape that I can pick up something like that and just do it and not having to pay with muscle soreness and feeling massively tired.

    Another NSV today!

    I bought some running tights online (I use them for cycling), both size Medium. They arrived today and I tried them on, whilst being a little intimidated by them too. One was good to wear and I rock it. The second I looked at it and thought. No way they are going to fit, but with a little jiggle I got them on. Not looking very nice but it fit.
    Husband and I agreed that the first pair was for now and the second one to work into my new goal pants.
    So I took off the labels. Only then I noticed that the second one was not an M at all, but an XS. Sure it was too tight for comfort, but OMG I got into an XS!!!!! Never fitted on one that size and now it is my maybe within 6 months goal. Really having trouble taking that in :-)

    I worked out 5x this week using my new heart-rate monitor, I stuck (95%) to my diet (I can't just eat straight egg whites, so I put them on ONE eggo! and I was craving some fat on Thursday, but all I had in my desk was chocolate-covered almonds...I stuck to 11! lol), and I haven't had any alcohol since Saturday, January 2...even while watching the last Sunday of NFL games and playoff games this weekend! I prepared a week's worth of meals for myself and my husband last Sunday, and I'm doing it again today.

    Tomorrow morning will tell me what kind of ON-SCALE Victory I had ;)

    I found a very old designer dress that I got for my 30th birthday. I am now 51. I had it cleaned and tried it on last night. It's stupidly big on me! Now wondering if I should have it altered or give it away...

    If you love it, have it altered. Otherwise, give it away and treat yourself to something fabulous.

    Get something new.

    Thanks guys!

    edited January 2016
    This morning my husband kept following me around the kitchen saying how good I looked. Then he made a comment about how two of his friends "can't get a girl between the two of them" and how he's sitting at home with such a pretty wife. It made my day. He's also been much more physically affectionate lately >:) .

    Also, he was recently diagnosed as pre-diabetic and has been making significant changes in his diet. He recently complained because someone threw away a wrapper and he didn't have a chance to check the carbs/sugars. HA!! Now he knows how I've felt for the past 10 months when I was working on losing weight and he was continuing life (ie eating) as usual.
