    Breaking my state's deadlifting record for my age/weight.

    that's amazing. I remember in the days when I could dead 300+ no problem, now I think my arms would fall off.

    I just restarted my fitness regimen. Five weeks ago, I had to take a break after walking 2 mph for ten minutes. Now I can walk 3.2 mph for an hour without wanting to die/being in pain.

    I'm really cheap...so I love the closet shopping. Yesterday I realized that I might have some old clothes I can fit now in a bag of stuff I'd shoved aside for charity/rummage sales/etc. a while back to get it out of my closet. Found a pair of practically brand new jeans (I bet I didn't wear them 10 times) that fit me perfectly! I was planning on going out and buying some this week! No need now! :smiley:

    I think my best NSV was when I ran my first 5k and was the first woman back and the third person overall.
    I had not run for a month at the time and I have COPD, so 65% lung function.
    It showed me how much the mind can overcome.

    I finally broke down and brought a bigger size pants at the beginning on the month. My old ones were to snug to be comfy, like unbutton when sitting snug. This morning I put on my too small pants and they we just a little snug. Something must be working.

    I've lost around 50lbs in a little over 4 months so I have a lot. At the beginning of April, I was slightly over 250lbs
    Seeing people I haven't seen in a while and having them say, "OMG you look great!".
    Putting on pants that were snug 3 weeks ago and discovering they are no longer snug
    Having my husband call me "skinny".
    I just bought 2 cardigans in a size medium. Not XXL. not XL. Not even L... MEDIUM.
    I can cross my arms. :)

    I love this! Cant wait to say the same! so far I've gone form a 2x to a xl right now :)
