I bought a size medium, dress - holy cow!!16

Started week 5 of C25K with no problems even though I was sick.
Totally scale related - while at the doctor's because of said sickness, my new weight triggered a "loss of over 10% since last visit" warning on the doctor's computer. It's cool, doc. It was on purpose.20 -
So I've successfully lost 90+ lbs now by counting calories in the last 18 months. I went to the doctor last week for a checkup and had to report that I'm blacking out when I stand from laying, a problem I haven't had since the last time I was under 180 lbs (when I was 22!)
My resting bp runs around 100/65 now, down from about 120/78 at my heaviest. My pulse is in the low 40s, down from the low 70s.
My doctor told me that these were fantastic numbers, which I knew. But his advice made me laugh. "Eat more salt".
I average around the RDA of salt over any week. Apparently I'm now light enough, and active enough that is not enough for me. And that, I feel, is a big NSV!27 -

I hit "awesome" already but I feel compelled to comment further. Those are some incredifreakable numbers! Nicely done.

My husband told me he hasn't heard me snore at all in two weeks. He's wrong of course, I would never snore. But if I did and had stopped it would be a great sign of improved health!

I've been light headed from low blood pressure too...guess this forum helps. Will see what more salt does for me. 86 Lbs. ago they were thinking I was about ready for med for high blood pressure.10

He also suggested deliberately tightening my muscles before I rise, to stop the pooling of blood in the lower extremities. It seems to be helping.

Down another belt notch. That's three notches since starting in March. My problem part is mostly tummy so I'm pleased to see this tho the scale doesn't show it yet.14

Two for me - on Saturday I ran a 1:33:25 half marathon and on Monday I deadlifted 315lbs for three sets of five. Hit a set of five on Wednesday for 320lbs. Both PRs for me.22

Ha ha ha. Thanks for the chuckle.5 -
knowing I had a busy evening I snuck a walk in at lunch.. And yoga after work.
and a friend out tonight asked the secret of my weightloss. I told her the truth-calories in are less than calories out.
It helped that my size 12 dress is very flattering!14 -
My jeans I bought last sat , fit me much better 10

I used to see mine as watermelons. lol11 -

I've been on vacation all week, so I haven't hit the gym once. Instead, I've gotten up at sunrise and done my C25K on the beach! Couldn't be more proud of myself for my determination.31

I did a ten minute mile this morning. Maybe that's not so good for most people, but I haven't worked up to running 2 miles straight yet...so ten minutes for me is my best!28

I had to buy slacks a size smaller last week. Someone at work mentioned to me yesterday that they can tell that I'm losing weight. 12

Did not touch one cookie,baked good, or treat during a conference that I attended the past 2 days. They were in abundance so it was difficult.
Additionally, breakfast and lunch as well as a social with drinks and passed hors d'oeuvres as well as all types of cheese. I made sure I had a small healthy breakfast at home and ate the fresh fruit provided in the morning. For lunch, asked for and received a healthier option, skipped dessert.
The social was hard but I only had one light calorie drink and crudites.
On top of that, had dinner with friends both evenings after the conference and stayed within my calorie goal and maintenance on both days.
One more day to go!29
