I went canoeing for the first time with my husband today. I'm not a great swimmer so don't do a lot of water activities, but finally felt "balanced" enough to do it. Maybe that doesn't make sense but after losing weight and building strength, I feel more in control of my body.

Last night I ate and drank (hello whisky & coke) triple my calories, played video games with friends until midnight. I don't feel like sabotaging myself today. In fact I'm cooking spag squash for lunch and getting ready to take the kids hiking with those same friends. Last night happened, and I logged it and now I'm relieved to be back to normal. And it feels good that my normal now does NOT look like 3,000 plus calories

I used to mess up once and quit or beat myself up for days. Now I'm just thankful that's not my regular diet anymore and ready to smash my goals!

Just finished the entire Focus T25 program!!! Even both Gamma phases! WOT?! Time does fly and I'm still wrapping my head around it! It wasn't long ago when I started and I'm just super excited 'cause I've never finished an entire program. I've read about you guys finishing but I just didn't know I would be one of those "super humans" lol It's just me and I did it!!! I swear it's starting to sink in and I wanna run and jump like a crazy person 'cause I DID finish!!!
My friends and this thread really kept me going and I just can't thank you enough!!

When kayaking yesterday in the ocean. I could get in and out of the kayak with no problem had no back issues and there was a nice wind and a strong current. I wasn't even tired after I did it.

I need new glasses.

They once looked small on my face but after losing 135lbs, they now look huge on my face.

Shame, because I really liked them . . .

There was a picture of me taken at an even at school and I don't hate myself in it!!!

Edit: it's actually my display picture now.

THIS. I was a BBQ last night with all of my friends and for the first time I didn't hide from them taking pics. My friends take a crazy amount of photos, it's actually quite amazing how I've managed to avoid being in the majority. But last night not only did I embrace it I didn't cringe when I seen them on FB. Go me.

Cleaned out my garage this weekend and am organizing a group of women to lift at my house two nights a week, starting tomorrow. Excited to up my training and to help other ladies get into lifting!

I must say, I love this thread!! Great job everybody. We all deserve some praise and recognition once in awhile.

Love this! Last time I went kayaking, I was 83 lbs heavier and I humiliated myself by announcing "I'm going in now!" I meant going in to shore, but of course I went in the drink instead and bobbed there upside down till I eventually popped out of the kayak. Until I read your post, I hadn't even thought about kayaking again...but maybe I should consider it. :-)

I have kept a pair of pants for 33 years because I've always hoped that one day I'd be in shape again like I was when I was 24. Even when I weighed 232 pounds I didnt give them away. I kept them on the top shelf in my closet as a reminder of who I once was. That person was lost, but never forgotten. I tried them on this morning and they fit.

YESSS!!! You must post a pic. We all want to see these pants. (Or maybe it's just me)

Just tonight, could wrap my towel around my body again.

I was admiring my bronzer application in the elevator today...and then remembered I wasn't wearing any! I finally have cheekbones

I have a box of clothes like that in the attic - from the mid-1970's. I am waiting until I'm at goal to get them but I'm very curious to see how those size 7's compare to today's size 7's. I was 110 lbs then and from what I'm reading about vanity sizing, those clothes won't even been close to today's sizes.

I ran a Spartan Sprint yesterday. It was my first one, and I did better than the guy that talked me into doing it. I only failed two obstacles. The spear throw, and some goofy hand over hand monkey-bar-like thing at the end when my body was rubberized misery.

I just love reading this thread: the physical milestones but esp the mental ones!! Kudos to everybody!!

I've got a several. I ran for 15 mins straight!! I couldnt even do 1 min 6 months ago. I played sports in my spandex pants in front of people for the first time and DIDN'T feel self conscious! (actually, I kinda rocked them imho). People are coming to me for weight loss advice.

And lastly (I didnt expect this at all!) I love my newfound curves! Before I had fat curves and resented them, but now I have a defined waist and hips and womanly curves... and I love them! I have an hourglass figure (me!!).

I went to the Fair yesterday, a September tradition. Usually I look forward all year to eating all the totally unique fair foods - maple cotton candy, maple fudge, nacho french fries, funnel cake with fruit and sugar, roasted corn, cream puffs and eclairs, build-your-own burritos...you get the idea.

I went with my husband and daughter and they both indulged, but I ate lunch before we left and didn't eat anything while we were there.

I was feeling hangry and sorry for myself and was generally in a bad mood by the time we got home. Instead of blowing it though, I made a high protein snack and then indulged in some homemade baked fries instead. It wasn't fair food, but I made it through the day.

I did go over my calorie goal that day by just a little, but weighed in today and managed to lose weight this week anyway!

I too am very curious to see what size I am at goal compared to 20 years ago.

Sadly I don't have this issue as I've been overweight/obese my whole life. I don't ever remember being a normal weight and there are no photos of me as a normal weight child, just a fat one.

However, I am now a lot smaller than I was 20 years ago, heck I'm a lot smaller than when I met my husband 28 years ago. He now comments every time I announce a weight loss that he's never known me so small (love him

)

Anyway, today's NSV (I try to find one every day; not always successful) - I'd done a long cycle ride this morning and burned off loads of calories so thought that I'd treat myself to a small packet of crisps (18g, less than 100 calories) with my lunch. Except when I went to eat them I realised that actually, I didn't want them so I put them back and had an apple instead.

When I started my new lifestyle, end of July 2015, I'd have scoffed two big packets and thought nothing of it
