I've been lifting weights for several years now. I'm pretty happy with how I look in general, although my abs could be improved, but I thought I had been pretty much stagnating for the past year. I didn't really realize how much I've progressed in certain areas until today. I was trying on swimsuits in a dressing room and they had one of those mirrors that shows off every angle. That's when I saw the back end. I couldn't stop staring (and flexing) at my amazing back and shoulders...and everything! I didn't even know they looked like that. I looked like Wonder Woman up in that dressing room. For all I know, I've had this nice muscle definition back there for awhile now and I just never noticed. Huge ego boost! I gotta start wearing backless tops.41

Went too a Zumba class today...was high steppin' when I recalled that 4 years ago I thought about selling my home because (due to chronic injuries) I could barely walk up the stairs in my home! My weight has been steady for some time now...and that's where I need to be...increased intensity in terms of weight training plus other exercises that I enjoy (Zumba/walking/other) continue to pay off!37

I have a belt that I added an extra hole to when I was at my heaviest because it was too small. That belt no longer fits me now at my smallest, even after adding a hole because it was too big. I bought that belt when I was 15 or 16.
My wife says I should buy a new belt, but I hate to let this one go. Maybe I'll add another hole.31 -
My 14s are getting loose. It's almost time to move comfortably into the 12s I've been flirting with.
I consistently run 2-3 miles 3x per week.
I stared down the longest weight stall and summer eating challenges since
I started losing, and busted through with a nice whoosh.
We booked the 5 day kayak trip I have been wanting to take as a reward for losing the weight (80lbs lost and 20 to go).
Loving my new life so much.43 -

Take me with you! It's gonna be so much fun! (I have kayaking planned for this summer, but only short, day trips. A long, multi-day trip sounds amazing.)12 -
I successfully tried on some UK size 10 trousers on the weekend, for the first time in my adult life.27

My husband and I are currently on a 4-day trip to visit family out of state. He told me yesterday that he misses eating at home. What a change! We used to love getting free unhealthy food from family haha. But now both of us could just use a home cooked meal instead of pizzas or burgers.
NSV: I've been logging everything to the best of my ability. I have gotten a lot better at eating "off-book" in the year I've used MFP.26 -
I have 2 from this weekend. I got told I could squeeze by the luggage cart in the elevator. The other was more of a reaffirmation of the good that has come of losing some weight even though I've been stalled for a long time. We went offroading with the Jeep which also involves in and out of the jeep and walking around the rocks and mud and whatnot to go watch. I really enjoyed the improved coordination, balance, ease of moving, and less joint pain. That was even with having mildly tweaked my ankle at the beginning of the week, but no pain or honestly real worry of rolling it again.19

1) My son and I actually ran 3 miles today, in 43 minutes. Major achievement as that's almost the 5km! Our last run, we only did 4km in 42 minutes, so I don't know what's happened to up our speed as it didn't seem to be any faster than the usual plod. It did seem a lot further though Actually, it may have been a slightly more level run than the last one that took in a few slopes.
Had I known that we were a mere 171.78 metres from a 5km, we'd have kept on going. So, for our next run on Wednesday, we are just going to keep on running until we hit that 5km I'm going to alter my distance tracker from miles to km so that we can be certain of the distance.
2) We have registered with the "ParkRun" programme and want to do our first (timed) run a week Saturday. That gives us almost two weeks to get used to the distance before being "officially" timed.
Happy days!44 -
It's official!!! My size 4 shorts are too big!!! I am now at my goal pants size...the size I was almost 3 years ago, pre-prego, pre-depression (after 2 miscarriages) and pre-knee pain! I'm still slightly too big in my chest and arms for a size 6 dress (my old dress size, but I think that might because of the way my posture has changed and also the fact that it's more fat than muscle there, so I'm working on it). And...and...and... I know it's an SV but I'm 4.4 lbs away from my GW, and then it's time to really focus on toning and definition. Every day it's a new thing. Most people don't notice because in their words, "I've never been overweight." But a) you'd be surprised what you can hide with the right outfit. And b) even if I didn't look unhealthy I was a size 10/12, which is still overweight for a 5'4 woman. We are used to hearing that since that is the average size and so we assume it must be healthy. Not only that but I lived on a strict diet of bean burritos and chocolate, so it was only a matter of time.31

So much awesome in one post that you deserve an extra atta-boy beyond the awesome button! Good stuff.8 -
Had been gaining the last week or two and finally saw the scale til back down today, which is a scale victory. But as for non-scale, I stayed under my calories yesterday, made a plan for the week, and wore a two piece to the lake yesterday in front of people!18

The gym clothes that i bought 6 months ago are too big now; so much so that my leggings keep sliding down. I am giving them to my sister who has just started working out again.26

I'm a former lifeguard/swimming instructor (but 35-40 years ago, yikes!), and after basically not having done ANY swimming for the past 12 years, I decided to bite the bullet and try to get back into swimming for exercise. Yesterday was my first attempt. I actually was able to do about 30 minutes of laps without feeling like I was going to drown. Granted, they were slow laps with a bunch of rests in between, but things went much better than expected! I am a bit sore today, however.27

Bought a UK size 10 evening dress with an extremely fitted bust this week and it looks fan-bloody-tastic on me. I can even sit down and eat in it without a single issue!
Only problem is that the sleeves feel slightly too tight around my biceps. It's almost as if I've gained in my arms at the same time as dropping dress sizes. How... peculiar.32 -
This is a hard thing for me to share and sort of an emotional thing, but I think it needs to be said. I was letting my weight ruin my life.
As the days pass and I get smaller and smaller, there are so many NSVs it's ridiculous. I realize now that being overweight/obese was seeping into everything. No matter how happy I tried to be there were just certain problems the weight was causing that weren't going to go away until I lost the weight.
I'm never going back to that. Never. I love myself too much. I know now and fully believe that I can do this. I can be a healthy weight and I can be happy. I don't have to be fat. And that realization is today's NSV.52 -
Update: I'm back to my pre-vacation weight Not bad after all that eating. It tool me 6 days to loose 2.5Lbs of water weight. I'm surprised i'm losing the water weight because I'm dealing with PMS and my TOM starts end of this week.MrsPinterest34 wrote: »I just came back from my vacation. I didn't measure any food, I just eyeballed everything. While I did sort of watch what I ate, I still ate anything I want but in moderation. Prior to my trip I was eating on average 1300 to 1400 calories daily but while I was on vacation for 4-5 days I estimated about 2000-2500 calories daily. My highest caloric meal was the pasta dinner at Maggiano's Little Italy, it was absolutely worth every calorie! I did continue to count my steps. I maintained on average 12,000- 13,000 steps daily which is lower than my usual 15,000-18,000 daily. Upon returning I stepped on the scale and I was up 2.5lbs, but for the past 2 days I've been back to my routine and dropping 0.5lbs daily. This means my weight gain was just water weight. Moral of the story if you gain 2-3lbs while on vacation, don't freak-out. It really is just water weight and it will drop back as you get back to your fitness routine.
NSV- I spent all this money on new Victoria Secret bra and the band size is getting bigger. I guess it's a good problem to have since I am losing. Still, it's a lot of money I'm not getting rid of these bras until they start to fall off

I've stopped referring to my running as "plodding".48

The scale lies. I'm up 2 lbs from Saturday AM but my waist is down an inch and so is my bust. Decided to try out the blouse that has been hanging in my closet since March and it fits!
(On the other hand, omg am I retaining water right now. Bloaty fingers FTL...)19
