Two things:
1. When I first started this, there was a particular pair of pants, black pinstripe always looked good on me, that I could not wear. I kept them out, hanging on the closet door. They are sz 6. I am wearing them now.
2. Last night I re-joined the gym.41 -
I just saw my Doc for annual check up. I promised myself I wanted to be in the 140s when I see her and Goal Met! This morning with my home scale I was 147.5lb without clothes. At my Doc's office I was 147.8lb with clothes. I was really surprised at how close the numbers were. I expected to be 2lbs heavier as usual. I noticed the office had a new scale and even the exam room had new equipment. My doctor was so proud of me for losing 25+ pounds. She asked if I joined weight-watchers. I said nope just counting calories using free MFP and walking.
Another NSV, my doctor checked my blood pressure manually, and it was normal. She was happy. I'm staying on my medication for now until it's low enough for me since I have family history.
Also, I hate receiving shots. I was due for my tetanus vaccine, the nurse gave me the shot and I didn't feel anything!
Next goal, when I see her next year for my annual check up, I'll be in the mid range of my BMI.31 -

@Madwife2009 What bike do you currently ride?
Oh, it's only a little Rayleigh Pioneer Hybrid. Nothing special - I purchased it because I'd tried one for a few sessions and liked it. I grew up with Rayleighs so there was a bit of bias there as well 6 -
I have a Jamis Coda Sport hybrid.4

moved a notch on the belt this week!27

Just completed my first week (again) at TDEE -1000cals every day, after eating at least TDEE +2000 for months. Feeling healthier already and in control at last21

Didn't eat the work cookies.
They were chewy. They were chunky. They kept looking at me, singing my name.
I thought about having one and burning it off on the treadmill. I thought about having a broken off corner of one. I thought about having one and cutting my dinner back. My mind was being creative.
But alas my friends, I didn't do it. I knew the sugar would just make me feel sucky. I told myself No.
Winning.49 -
Also, during the cookie trauma I found a really good way to shush the food pushers.
"Do you want this cookie...? Goooo onnnnn"
"Yes. I do want the cookie. But I want to be skinny more".
Colleagues nod in agreement and wander off.
Worked 3 times!! Whey hey.35 -
TOM for me and I'm retaining water like a leaky boat. Not letting it get me down or knock me off my game. Yes, I've had a couple of indulgences, but nothing to put me over maintenance.20

I unpacked the dresses I had saved from 2010 and sporadically tried on over the past year. Last time I packed them away in March, and today they all fit. Not sure if I should keep them, as I bought them when I was 23 and now I'm 30 (style and all), but dang, it feels good to be able to rock them again!36

I am ridiculously excited about my ParkRun tomorrow
This is totally and completely crazy.
Lovin' it.
Oh, and lazy teenage daughter is still running with me (C25K). Teenage son is still running with me (10k training).
Toddler is desperate to do "mini-runs with you, Mummy!" (she wants to take her dolly in it's pushchair to Junior ParkRuns, bless). Just have to work on encouraging my very lazy 12 year old son (although he has a let-out clause as he's currently receiving physio for feet problems, although this may be more to do with tight muscles than his actual feet) - and all of my children will be running!
Not bad for a family who didn't "do" running unless it was an emergency situation.28 -

Yeah, the only running I did before I took up the C25K was to rescue the kids from imminent danger!8 -

I've been doing this, too!! I'm questioning a few hemlines (did I really wear skirts THAT short?!), but I love that they are fitting again. Some are fitting even better

I walked 45 miles this week. Next week I'm aiming for 50.20

I'm NOT one for selfies at the gym, but a friend snuck up on me while I was doing assisted chin-ups and snapped this. Had no idea I had back muscles! This is from one year working at the gym (joined on my 50th birthday--first time EVER working out or even stepping foot in a gym). I don't have a 'before' picture of my back but will show you my front shot--just assume my back is all soft and doughy-like. (-135 lbs lost--hence the loose skin over my bra).

Your family is just the best possible example of how the model of the parent becomes the pattern for the children, whether it's obesity or fitness. Kudos to you all!17 -

Wow, that's a lot of miles. Congrats!
Thank you. I just love cycling (in case anyone hadn't guessed!)
Just a heads up, with that kind of mileage you may need to change the front chainring, too. If you find the new chain sometimes skips under hard pedaling, that'll be the culprit.
Ah - I will keep an eye on that as I did have a few incidences of the chain slipping/skipping (but not since fitting the new chain, haven't had a chance to get out as the weather has been so awful). Thank you for mentioning that. That's something else I really like about these threads - how much you learn.
And one of my tyres will need replacing again soon. In fact the way I'm going, I will have replaced everything on it except the frame before long . . . better start saving for a new bike
On my road bike, I usually wear out rear tires faster than the front, and rear tires wear differently - they sort of square off, whereas the front tire wears more evenly across the tread side-to-side. So usually I'll get a new tire and put it on the front, then move the old front tire to the rear.
(This doesn't work for my mountain bike, BTW. I run different tires front and rear.)4
