Tried on my wedding dress this weekend (which I ordered in a size 14), and it zipped up all the way and fit nicely. When I was trying dresses on, the 16W could not zip fully, but I knew I was going to lose some poundage so I ordered it in a 14 and it now fits!17

Bought shorts this weekend...size smaller than I normally buy!10

I did 100Km ride yesterday with some friends. It was a blast as an experience and as a challenging ride. There was over 3500 feet of climbing so it was a bit of work for 62 miles.

I did my measurements and I lost a whole inch off my chest (under my breasts) so I believe it was some back fat! I also lost 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch here and there in various other places i.e. thighs, upper arms.....but my belly was 1/2 inch bigger...bloat? Not sure, but not letting it get me down!12

Starting to notice more definition in my arms, one of my main problem areas. They've been flab bags for years, and for the first time in my adult life, I can see and feel muscle. Really encouraging.9

Trying to keep perspective as I round a milestone corner tomorrow... Ten years older, but still looking healthier, at least to me. Purple shirt was today, 7/12/16. Coral shirt is sometime in June or July of 2006...

Plus the kids and I must eat gluten free due to celiac so there are very very few restaurants or relatives who can cook safely for us. I have to cook and bake while we travel, plus all the packing and cleaning before we go. A vacation is usually MORE work. LOL
I hear you! Husband and I eat gluten free, plus I eat LCHF (and am just beginning a dairy elimination as a test) - traveling or even just eating out can be a real pain sometimes because of the food prep that goes into it. We'll be traveling for several days with teen & pre-teen grandkids in a couple of weeks. Should be a riot, except for the food part - they usually eat SAD except when with us.
LOL Teens eating GF who normally don't... That will be fun.
Have a good trip. 0 -
After my 2.25hr yoga workout yesterday where I lay on the mat and tried to decide if I was dying or not, I noticed some abs coming in. I can't see them, because I still have some belly fat, but I sure could feel them. My obliques are awesome. Now to lose the belly so I can see them. Patience.8

Such great work everyone!
My latest NSVs have been trying on two pairs of pants I've been saving for years in the hopes of fitting in...only to find I missed my window of opportunity and they are now too big! I've also became confident enough to go on trail runs in shorts instead of capris. I'm also much less self conscious in sleeveless tops. Another fun thing is that I found some dresses my daughter used to wear to church and they fit me nicely! 9 -
NSV: I was doing bicep curls at the gym yesterday and when I saw myself in the mirror I thought, "Dammmn look how jacked my traps, shoulders, and arms look" In fact, I actually thought I looked pretty good in general at the gym yesterday. It's been a while since I've had that feeling. 11

I bought smaller bras today. Some may not see that as a victory but anyone Very well endowed knows I'm ecstatic!21
-
I got my hair done today and my stylist kept gushing about how long and healthy it has grown in such a short amount of time. I got comments from random, new stylists at the salon who were walking by, and a couple of them mentioned how it's so hard to achieve "lustrous, healthy-looking blonde hair."
Winner winner! Keto is the best11 -
A pair of brand new slacks and new bra that sat in my drawer of clothes that I bought too small now fit! if this keeps up I'll have a whole new wardrobe in a couple of months. (I was in denial of my true size for a long time lol)10
-
I tried on some of my dress pants today (I normally wear skirts/dresses to work in the summer) and they are all too big. Looks like I'll have to buy some new pants for this fall/winter for work! And I think I'll need a new bra soon as well! Woohoo!11

I started a keto diet 3 months ago as a tight size 24 (I think I really was an in denial size 26). After loosing 53.4 lbs and 40 inches, I am now wearing a size 20/2x outfit to work today!26

My favorite donuts are on the table.
Let me reiterate... they are ON THE TABLE, not in my tummy.16 -

I fit into size 10 jeans at Gap today!! I can't even remember the last time I fit into a 10!

I have a few!!!
I didn't buy any carb filled foods at the store. Aside from the healthy fruits and veggies of course.
Soda has been a huge weakness for me. I've been battling for months!! Tea isn't enough of a deterrent especially cause I end up drinking more than is healthy (I think I'm suffering consequences now).
Diet sodas have been a challenge cause I don't much like the aftertaste (I've bought smaller bottles of a few kinds to try). Now the victory part! I tried diet cherry Pepsi and fell in love. I don't even miss normal soda.
Lastly, my eating was extremely well done today. My macros were close to goal! Carbs nice and low, even though I splurged on some cocktail sauce with my shrimp heh.
None of these are body wise, but the kinds of foods I eat and the balance has been my more recent struggle.9 -
Awesome!! Congrats to you all.
@MyriiStorm Those numbers are going the right directio now!...

Have you tried carboanted water? I find carbonated water with some lime and a dash of salt helps with the pop cravings.... Somewhat. 4 -
Total NSV: I am apparently fully "indoctrinated" to this WOE. Even my "cheat meal" yesterday ended up low carb: I had half a sweet potato with butter alongside dinner last night (Uncle Chris prepared his famous barbecued chicken thighs). Even with the non-LC barbecue sauce AND the sweet potato, I came in under my carb goal for the day! I hadn't even planned ahead, as I'd not known in advance what dinner was planned to be! I wanted the sweet potato and decided that it was worth it, and to not be rude I did not pull out my phone and enter it to check prior to eating it - I just ate it and enjoyed it, and when I entered it later (even being generous in my guess of the serving size I had) my dinner still came in at only 37g carbs. Higher than 90% of my dinners, for sure, but since my daily goal is 65g at the moment and my day's total came in at 61, I call it a win. Plus I slept better last night than I have in many, many, many nights.9

@Phrick That's one of the things I've read lately about carb management - that if you're going to do a higher carb meal (like yours, for us) to do it at night when you'll have the most intelligent insulin response AND it will help sleep quality!!!6 -
They had this jalapeño cheddar popcorn that I love on sale at the store I was at yesterday. Guess who didn't buy any.... That's right THIS GIRL12

Try finding a jalapeno cheddar popcorn seasoning and sprinkling it onto microwave cheese crisps or pork rinds! Bet you'll be in heaven, @TishaGettinFit !5

My NSV this week is that I am on vacation in Florida... My kids have had ice cream, cake for my son's birthday, fried, breaded fish and not only have I had zero problem passing on those things (honestly it's not even an effort after over a year of this) but my husband passed too! He did eat French fries and bread on his burger though... Lol
Anyway, my only indiscretions have been alcohol, which I haven't ever eliminated but usually limit.
In other NSV news, my daughter (T1D) had a check up at the Endo and her A1c was 6.9. Down from 7 a couple months ago even though she's been a big cheater ever since getting that good report last time! As a Type 1 diabetic, that's a pretty awesome number! I know it would've been even lower if she stayed consistently on plan, but she's 21 and honestly, after how sick she was for the last few years, I'm thrilled that she still eats low carb even half the time and getting those results! I'll take it!
I don't ever want to see her weighing 98 pounds at 5'6" and an A1c of "greater than 14"!!!
I had to edit to add this photo.
On the right she was sick and underweight with out of control blood sugars.
You can see that bottle of Bai in her back pocket is about half the size as one of her thighs!
On the left, though you can't see much, her eyes aren't sunken and her cheeks are full and she's back to health and about 30 pounds heavier!25 -
My NSV this week is my shorts are loose!! Lol.6
