Had my new patient check at the Dr's today. The nurse who took my waist measurement remarked 'I had a waist like that once!'
Cue big grins from me.22 -
I measured my thighs today and I've lost a whole inch off each one just since June 14. This is pretty awesome considering my scale barely moves anymore since I'm 75% to my goal.15

One super cute buff guy, was working out in front of me and gave me the "well done" face after he saw my bench press. I said, thanks for giving me your look of approval. He said I did a good job, that he had just gotten to the weight I was lifting not too long ago and it took him a while. The guy that was spotting me was also encouraging me to squeeze out a few more reps. Feeling good, and then some haters had to hate.
There were two guys working out next to me and one of them was talking, possibly on the phone (headphones) and said, "I can't believe it. This fat woman just walked up in here and lift weight most men struggle with. A fat woman......Fat.... liftin weights." They couldn't have been four feet away from me, and felt the need to say, 3 times, "fat woman," knowing full well I could hear them, clearly, talking about me.
I ignored it and started a new set.
This makes me so mad that those guys were such jerks putting you down rather than complimenting your efforts. I don't understand why anyone would want to make another person feel bad for getting healthy. Good for you for ignoring them!
Thanks. I found it a compliment. If I had picked up a light weight and did some dumbell curls, they probably wouldn't have said anything. But it really got under their craw that I was able to do something their ego couldn't handle.
All of this. You are amazing, and I love your attitude and perspective. We can't change the *kittens* of this world, but we can change our reaction to them. Next time I'm the only girl in the weight lifting area, I'm going to keep this in mind. Wonderful job and thank you for sharing your story.5 -
Leg pressed three sets of 115lbs yesterday. When I started strength training a few weeks ago, I was at 90lbs. I think the combination of running, lifting, Zumba and Tae no is paying off. The scale didn't drop this week (actually went up .4) but feeling strong kind of made up for it.10

My legs have always been hideous to me... always kept them covered. I'm starting to like the way they look! And they feel strong.8

Have a few to share. Was comfortable enough to give my biggest T-Shirts away to my Mother in Law to use as nightgowns. Had enough energy yesterday to clean the entire main floor of my townhouse. In the past I have run out of steam long before I finish (Mother in Law visiting might have inspired some motivation ). Went for a six mile bike ride. Haven't ridden that far in ten years. June has typically been an easy month for me to fall off of my diet - I have a hard time getting used to the heat. But today is June 30th and I noticed I had a 30 day streak this morning! And finally I have spent seven months being consistent with making many more good choices than bad ones concerning food/activities. The longest I had gone before was five months.25

Fitting into a size L shirt and it not being snug. I was wearing 4XL shirts last year.36

After about 6 months of losing weight, this month I've lost the least amount of weight and I was getting a little doscouraged. Did my monthly measurements though and found that I'm still losing inches even if my weight didn't go down much!

I can now literally do sit-ups after losing 25 lbs and gaining strength... Woohoo!
61 more to go...13 -
Can fit into a size 20 and Large shirt, a month ago I was in size 24 and xl-2xl shirt.27

I can fit my 17 year olds skinny jeans yay lol18

I ran a 2 mile fun run yesterday and ran it in 17 minutes and 24 seconds, my fastest 2 mile run and 16 seconds faster than my previous fun run. Now my goal is to complete it in under 17 minutes.11

I've lost 40 pounds and am feeling confident enough to rock red lipstick in my customer service job.24

All of this is great - well done! Keep at it... sounds like you've got this, this time.kyliegoodwin04 wrote: »I've lost 40 pounds and am feeling confident enough to rock red lipstick in my customer service job.
The big health improvements and so on that people make are always awesome, but sometimes it's the 'smaller' things like this that are very special! The way that changing our weight and shape makes us feel, and the confidence it gives us. I'm not ready for red lippy just yet, but one day I will be!
My little NSV for today - I went shopping for some groceries at lunchtime, and although I'd had a mid-morning snack my stomach was growling while I was shopping. I only realised while I was eating my lunch that Old Me would have had no hesitation buying a chocolate bar at the checkout to munch on, but New Me didn't even think about it! It honestly didn't cross my mind once, I was just looking forward to getting home as soon as possible and eating my salad!
I think I was kidnapped by aliens and replaced with a clone.

I have been reading this thread religiously every day. So inspiring!!! I thought that I would post some of my own after I finished reading the entire thread. However, I am only on page 229 of 369, and I simply cannot wait!
My NSV starts with me being in a super grumpy mood. Not once, but twice this week, an underwire has broken on a bra. I LOATHE spending money on underwear, and the construction on the highway between my house and the mall right now is a nightmare. Since I was feeling sorry for myself for having to make this trip to the mall, and I have been eating really well lately, I decided to treat myself to some Aunt Annie's Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel Bites.
First NSV: I logged them before I ever left my house and adjusted my supper plans to make them fit into my calorie allotment. (BTW, they have 490 calories and 99 grams of carbs!!!!) Not so long ago, I would have just decided that the day was a lost cause and not logged for the rest of the day.
Second NSV: As I was at the register to make my purchase, I decided I could live without these luscious pretzel bites that I had been thinking about for over two hours. Maybe it was because I was far away enough from the store that I couldn't actually smell them, but I am going to chalk it up to making a good decision.
Third NSV: Those bras that I didn't want to buy were actually on sale for 60% off. Woo Hoo! Win, Win, Win!!!42 -
Ooh ooh another NSV but annoying one. My fave sunglasses not to mention expensive also are too wide for my head now.10

That's awesome. You should be able to take them to your eye doctor to be resized.4 -
I was feeling irritable this afternoon. Instead of eating or going to bed I decided to take a walk! I'm much more relaxed, and I feel virtuous.19

I had a busy stressful week and instead of turning to eatinf junk I turned to exercise. I love that I pretty much need to workout every weekday in order to feel like myself.13
