I bought a new dress on the weekend... a UK size 12!28

Swam for an hour this morning. 3km. Only one stop of around 10 seconds to let someone pass me.
Shoulders were feeling it at the end but fine now!
been feeling a bit bleh recently what with all the bank holidays and now being back into full work mode so this was a good morning!23 -
I was very upset last night. (read: want to cry myself to sleep, stuff my face until I threw up.) I didn't eat my feelings, which is normally my go to reaction. Instead, I finished my walk, laid on the couch and told myself it was okay to feel this way, that eating wouldn't make that feeling go away, and it wasn't worth letting someone else upset me so much that I undo all of my hard work this week. I made it last night. Now just trying to make it through today.61

Was out shopping this weekend and saw a really great price on jeans but I wasn't in a situation where I could try them on. I was waffling between getting the 12 or the 14. I would have usually grabbed a 16, hoping they would fit but I have made weight loss progress this year and I know that is too big now. I went with the 12 telling myself that I could either bring them back and exchange them or hang on to them until they fit. I tried them on when I got home and they fit!! Comfortably!!!37

Good for you @jdelaroy! I have to remind myself about the bolded part quite often.
Don't give other people that much power over me!12 -

@lucy1752 Thank you. I am still fighting it today. It is so hard to not let your emotions rule your world. BTW I loved your post about your trip for donuts. It was very thoughtful, and I loved seeing how you thought your way out of it. Ooh and one of our vendors brought in donuts for us this morning. So far so good. Day is still far from over though.10

Sorry to hear that. I lost a very valued ring too. I suspect it came off while drying my hands in the work bathroom and by the time I realized it was gone it was too late. Very upsetting but accepting the fact as there is nothing that can be done.0 -
I was able to do a quad stretch. I have huge thighs and being able to do it (even if I did have to lean to the side first) felt amazing

I am currently on chemical relaxation (i.e. xanax). I realized I needed to do this before I reached for food, and it helped me from going home and eating away all my anxiety.15

A personal trainer didn't recognize me and was shy about asking if I was the same person....

Completed Week 2 of C25K
With my son, of course. He was struggling a little bit on the last run but we made it. Perhaps because he was showing off on the earlier part of the run by walking faster than I was plodding running?
He also says that his chest feels better as a result of the training - as a baby he had bronchiolitis and it's affected his respiratory system, occasionally causing a tight feeling in his chest, especially after exercise - but he's not had that feeling at all over the last two weeks.
My lovely toddler wanted to go with us as well, bless. I'd have taken her in the buggy but it was too cold and windy. She was mollified by the promise of a visit to the swans tomorrow 22 -
I was able to put on, button AND zip a pair of my teen daughter's jeans! They were like a second skin and they are not at all flattering yet, but....soon :-D26

Today is 1601 days logged
A few days ago i went to the gym after a bit of time off. I had way too much preworkout and managed to go harder on every machine. Also could do the highest weight on the hip thrusting machine. Think it's 138. Cool to know how strong my thighs can be.
I've been swimming consistently and notice a lot of changes with my body from that. Mostly the shoulders, rib fat going down and more leaner arms.25 -
Twice within the last four days someone has commented on my face looking slimmer and having a more defined jawline. I'm close to goal now with 10 or fewer to go -- I figured my face was just my face and that the last I need to lose would come from other places. So, that's pretty cool ... A nice surprise.20

I love this. I am doing C25K with my son as well; he's 11. I have a 5 year old, too, and he goes most of the time and rides his bike. It was a lot easier to keep reigns on him when he still needed training wheels, but now that he has a big boys bike, I can't keep up with him and have to constantly yell for him to slow down and/or stop. It's not been too cold for is to go, it's been too rainy. Our running trail has been completely flooded out, and we've had a lot of lightning, not just rain.

I do not like tea or coffee and usually my go to for caffeine is a soda in the morning. I have not had a soda in 4 days and no longer really crave it! Fingers crossed I can finally kick the habit with out relapsing again.29

My most recent NSV, I had my dominos order on the phone screen in front of me for lunch, I was just about to press the confirm button, and "treat myself" then I saw the little "nutrition" button at the bottom of the screen, so I thought oh go on then, I'll have a quick look. My meal (I can eat a lot of dominos!) would have come to 2789 calories plus however many Calories in the dip! Oh my god!!!! So I quickly closed the screen and had eggs on toast instead!!!! That for me is a HUGE victory. I have no willpower normally when it comes to take out food. Added to that, I worked out this evening. Yay70

I woke up this morning at about 4am. Rather then relaxing watching tv or play on internet I went to the gym. Did a bit of weights and rowed for 10 minutes now on stationary bike for an easy 15 minutes. Not the hardest workout but much better then tv.22

I can do up the trousers! the trousers that sparked my weight loss.
Gothy and jingly and covered in buckles and keychain type things and skulls haha
kinda like this
I no longer need to hold my breath, stand on tiptoes, use all my strength to get the zipper up - and forget about the button.
All does up, still a tad tight and I have muffin top over them of about half an inch. But they fit - I can even sit in them!!
(slightly miffed by the fact that they are way too big now around hips - but that is just how I am built apparently, maybe my stomach will eventually catch up with leg losses haha)
but I finally have my pair of trousers to go with my new rocks!! and a night out planned 27th May to show it all off!! woohooo!!!28
