Just chiming in to say, my dog's name is Antigone. I love that name!
Shameless pic of my Antigone, cuz why not?!?
Well done on your run time!
Thanks! I've loved that name ever since high school when I was in the play4 -

I just planned my summer VK (Sturgis! here I come!) and got the motivation to kick back into gear. I knew the first thing I had to do was hit this post to hear all the great things. I've been reading now for four hours (oops... don't tell my boss) and i KNOW that I can get back on track.
My temporary NSV that made me realize that I need to get going again-- my bf made a comment that I only weigh 140lbs. (reality: 165lbs honest; 155 if you ask my DL). I want to hit that weight to show him that I CAN!200 consecutive days of logging today! I love the way it makes me feel in control of my food intake, which is not something I have felt before.Micheller1210 wrote: »I haven't posted in awhile, but since April, I'm down two pant sizes. ....oh yeah!I lost 1.7 lbs since monday.

The run was with a running club I just joined. this is probably the best decision I've made in quite a while as I know they will push me to be a better, faster runner.
Managed to resist coffee cake in the break room yesterday and croissants in the break room today. Why oh why do people insist on bringing that stuff in EVERY.....SINGLE....DAY???!!!!12 -
I wore tights! I have never believed in tights - I thought they were always awful because I looked awful in them.
But this morning I grabbed a pair that my daughter left at my place, pulled them on and got on with my workout in my garage. When I come inside I thought I'd look in the mirror....and I wasn't horrified at what I saw. I was even admiring how my quads and calves are looking.23 -
Today I finished C25k Week 5 Day 3. The 20 minute run. I don't think I have ever run 20 minutes without stopping before. And I have always hated running, but I am honestly enjoying the C25k app24

I was told by the sales girl at Victoria's Secret I have big boobs for such a tiny person. Me! Called tiny!!! And yup...still a 36DD.20

I realized today that I haven't eaten anything from the candy dish at work since March... (it doesn't fit my macros)28

Bought a new sweater yesterday...size "L", after wearing mostly XLs and 2XLs the past few years. Wore it today...my secretary said it looked too big around the waist. Can't get my mind around the idea of possibly buying an "M" the next time...24

\o/ as someone who 'never' ever ever ever runs, i totally get what this means.
i did a gp visit yesterday. i've got a clicky s.i. going on that i don't like the feel of. but anyway . . . last time she saw me was over two years ago, when i needed her signature on a 'learn to lift' class because of rheumatoid arthritis.
they weighed me that day. i weighed myself yesterday. two and a half years apart, and i weigh almost exactly the same, from 60.9 kilos then to 61.3 kilos now. meanwhile today i can bench 85 pounds, deadlift 165 if i really have to, squat 105 or so and press 65 when i'm healthy enough . . . all for 3 - 5 reps.
eta: i guess that's a 'scale' victory except i don't really see it as one, since i grew all that strength without changing the scale.

Today I fit into some jeggings that haven't fit me since 2013.15

Really silly, but.... my trainers are dirty! Like actually used, worn in, dirty. I've had them for a couple of years in my bedroom, looking beautiful and pristine and clean and very clearly never used. Now they're a tribute to all the hard work I'm putting in, the mud, the scratches, and probably the stink35

Yesterday - coworker passed me then stopped "Hey D - yeah man, you're losin' some weight!! I can see it!"
Today getting coffee - another coworker: "Darin - wow, man, you're getting thin!"

Getting into a 14 pant with no W because I started in what should have been a 22w but I decided to diet instaed of buying the 22w.17

I've had a Twix bar in my desk for over a month and have not longer have a strong desire to eat it. I originally bought it thinking I'd have it there if I needed to celebrate something or wanted a quick fix. Been realizing lately that 1) I don't need to celebrate with food... or at least not with candy, and 2) a quick fix is much more likely to be the apple or clementine I carry in my bag.18

Today on my lunch walk, I added in some sprints. I managed to run about 1/4 of the time I spent walking. This is huge because I have always hated running, haven't really done any running in 20 years. I have a goal to actually run a 7k next September, so I am slowly adding the running in. I hadn't planned on adding any running in until I got below 200 pounds. I saw someone else mention they were running 5k and they were over 200 pounds. I figured that meant I probably could too and I was just making excuses up. Go me!24

Great advice on here. For high 40s/low 50s, I wouldn't even need gloves or a hat, but it depends on how warm you get (and how used to the cold you are). I live in Vermont, so I've gone out running in as cold as 15 degrees last January! I wore a long sleeve shirt, a fleece, sweat pants, a scarf, hat and mittens (they warm up your hands better). And I was fine! I went running last night when it was in the 30s and I wore leggings, long sleeve shirt, hat, and gloves. My arms got a bit cold toward the end, but I wouldn't have wanted to wear anything more.
All this to say, remember what you wear when you run and what the temp is. You will find out what works for you People around here like saying that there's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes.
Thank you too! I will definitely make note of what works and what temp it was. I just walked an hour in the rain this morning, and it was fun because what I was wearing kept me warm and dry. Let's hope whatever I wear tomorrow keeps me comfortable and I can have a fun run.3 -
I went out today without lunch Stupid of me but I didn't have time as had to get to the next city 40 miles away for a hospital appointment. Anyway, I got to the appointment early so did a bit of shopping beforehand and I ended up with a load of junk food - impulse purchases as I was hungry, namely a bag of mini-biscuits (15 packs in the bag) plus multi-packs of chocolate (7 large bars).
The NSV is that I did not eat ANY of them. I got home with the packs all intact. They are still intact now and my children were highly amused at my tale of going from shop to shop buying this stuff because I really wanted it but then not eating it. They think that I'm mad (little do they know!).16 -
Today our HR person stopped me and asked me what I was doing to lose so much weight! I"m at thirty pounds lots and I feel/feel like I look exactly the same. It's nice to get some recognition. Yesterday, a co-worker told me I was "melting away". Gotta say, it's getting to my head a little bit.16

I do the same thing! Especially when I see something new I want to try. Sometimes I corner the kids when they have one so I can try a bite to see if a whole piece will be "worth" the calories.2 -
The boy I married 32 years ago drove all the way to my office on a friday in heavy traffic to bring me a new pair of gym shoes he thought I would "dig". If I could explain what a phenom this was....you would not believe me. I think he likes what's happening to this bod.41

I walked out of the gym today and saw that someone had parked their pickup way too close to my car. I thought to myself oh yeh, how am I going to squeeze into my car without smashing my door against the pickup? Guess what....I had no problem getting into my car and didn't even come close to hitting his vehicle with my door!22

Tried out Insanity Asylum today and got through it, haha.11

Been so busy at work this week haven't checked out this thread in about three days! Wonderful, wonderful posts everyone! So motivating!!

I'm on medication for depression and anxiety. My therapist relayed to me yesterday that my doctor, who prescribed these meds, wants me to test my levels because I have lost "such a phenomenal amount of weight." At the time I nodded thinking "okay need to schedule that appointment" but now I'm realizing this may end up being a NSV. Lower med doses! Never never thought that would be a thing.
I love all these posts! I check every day or so and its such a positive thing!26 -
I did it! Ran the 5k this morning in 37:44. Was really happy to have run most of it under 12min/mi pace but the last .5 was all uphill, and I slowed down. Still very happy with 12:09/mi average as it's still faster than anything else I've recorded.
It was 40 degrees and slightly raining and it still felt fantastic.29 -
I had to buy a belt at the beginning of October and was using the notch closest to the end. Well, as of this morning, I'm 3 notches in!14

I couldn't find my house keys. I kept patting down my pockets but couldn't feel them because I'm wearing jeans from March and they are way baggy. Six months ago I couldn't have even fit my house keys in a front pocket of my jeans. Yay me!20

AMEN! Wish I'd stayed in shape, time FLEW. I'm 51. Ack!2 -

LOL - I've found sort of the opposite: My keys used to stay in the capacious pocket of my size 14W (or bigger) jeans. But the pockets in my size 4 misses jeans are so much smaller, even in the same brands, that the keys keep working their way out. I have to attach them to a belt loop, or I lose them!7 -
I can easily wear and remove my Peace Corps ring!! I didn't think that was ever going to happen again!
