I"ve only lost 5 pounds thus far, but at this very moment, I'm wearing a dress that was too tight last summer.

I went to visit my family last weekend and my mum burst out in a massive smile and couldn't stop saying how small I had gotten! I wasn't even in form fitting clothes- a baggy layered top and baggy jeans so how she saw I don't know! She also hugged my waist and said it was tiny

We went out for dinner with my sister (doesn't live with my mum) and I went out in a form fitting dress. I stood up for her to take a picture of me and my fiancé and her mouth dropped when she saw my whole body. She kept saying "oh my God" and saying I had lost a lot of weight.

It made me really happy to hear since while my fiancé does tell me I'm smaller and I know it in my head as my clothes are loose, I just can't see it myself.

My collarbones are beginning to reappear!

I conquered my arch nemesis at the gym! A few weeks ago, my chest muscles were so weak that I couldnt do cable flyes with 5 lbs, which is as low as the cables go.

This morning, though I frequently had to stop between reps after the 1st half of my second set to breathe a few times, I finished 3 sets of 12. At the minimum 5 lbs, but when I stopped to think of what a difference that was, it really blew my mind.

I put on a pair of XL pj bottoms today, I've never been able to wear them, felt like if I moved in them they would of ripped. Today I did my workout in them lol.

I had to move my car seat closer to the steering wheel. Less padding on the butt means more space in the car.

I've been overseas for two weeks and felt a confidence and freedom I haven't really felt before even though I wasn't logging anything while I was away. I've consciously overindulged a few times (staying in places with really good restaurants), but deliberately packed my gym/running gear even though it was a pain in the butt to try to fit everything in when travelling with hand luggage only. The 'old' me would have left running gear at home, the 'now' me had the attitude of 'I'm making it fit in the case and I'm going to get my use out of it', I went running in the streets around hotel #1, running in the fields and tracks around the holiday cottage we stayed in, and used the hotel gym in hotel #2 too, and really enjoyed the exercise as part of the holiday. The scale is showing a few lbs gain but it's highly unlikely to be a *real* gain, so I'm giving it a week to settle before I take any notice.

So very happy as I had a bit of kidney damage last year and just got all my annual tests back and they all were perfect! No diabetes, perfect cholesterol, no kidney damage!

My arms look amazing in my top today and I feel confident because of it! Go weight lifting!

I'm going on a family vacation to Virginia Beach next week and for the first time ever, put workout clothes on my packing list. It's not going to be the main priority but now I can't imagine an entire week without working out at least once.

Jogged for 25 minutes straight today. My tongue was practically dragging on the treadmill the last 5 minutes, but I did it. Longest sustained cardio of my life, I think! Week 7 of C25K.

I did the same while I was on vacation this past weekend! It was nice to run in a new (and very flat!) surrounding. I can't believe I can do 25 minutes.

did a 50lb overhead press today. first time adding weight to the bar. such a big accomplishment lol

Passing the "all-for-looks-cyclists" that are half my age and decked out on $2,500 bikes with another $600 in shoes/clothing/helmet and mirrored Oakleys that have frames that match their helmets ... and watching the surprise on their face when they pull into the parking lot and realize I am the "old dude" that passed them a few miles back.

I remember the first time I passed a decked out runner (coordinated shoes to t shirt, arm band, I phone, lulu lemon everything) in my soccer shorts and Bo Burnham t shirt. It was a great feeling. I know that obviously so long as your running it's good, and your clothes don't dictate anything, but still, it felt good.

Someone at work noticed the weight loss today and said I looked good
