As Ive said before, theres always more than the # on the scale to use as feedback on your weightloss journey. So what has made you proud over this past weekend??

For me:

1) Beating my 5K PR by over 7 minutes!
2) Fitting into a size L jacket
3) Being able to do 20 minutes on the elliptical (I never was able to get past 5-7 minutes without my knee hurting)

    First- congrats on your amazing weight loss!

    I went camping this weekend and was not logging or exercising, but what I am proud of is only 1 s'more :)

    Went to a BBQ and didn't "pig out" or drink any alcohol.

    Lets see I lost the few lbs I gained during my trip last week plus another 1.4 lbs, my size 16s I noticed this weekend seemed to feel alot looser(14s here I come), and yesterday I was bored out of my mind so I took my dog for a walk and for the first time ran quite a bit of the way, then while watching my favorite show last night I used my aerobic step for 30 min just up and down watching my show and exercising

    After being outside in 102 heat helping my hubby with the airconditioner, I still completed Power 90 Day 6!

    Not only survived, but enjoyed a hilly 10-mile bike ride on my new (to me) mountain bike yesterday!

    I made it to the gym Sunday and had a good day eating Saturday. For me this is good. Weekends are hard for me!

    Did a practice 5K before I sign up for one at the end of September and did a time of 27:16 Min to try to improve on. BTW great job on your 5K this past weekend.

    *first time poster!

    I am proud that I ran 10.24Km yesterday but then disapointed that somehow I have put on 2lb! How??

    Does anyone know if it's true that if i'm putting on muscle I won't lose much actual weight?

    1. That I actually bought healthy food at the store, rather than the junk food I'm accustomed to.
    2. I passed on a slice of cake at my grandma's birthday party, but did allow myself a spoonful.
    3. I went on a date with a great guy instead of taking myself to the movies alone to inhale a huge bucket of popcorn!

    Great job! Not only did I run a full 5K without stopping (a first for me!) I also went to the town pool with my family and did not wear a shirt while swimming. I don't think I made any heads turn, but I was not embarrassed either. Still a long way to go, but we all need these small achievements along our journey to better health to help make sure we get there. Keep up the fantastic work!!

    - Taking apples and low fat snacks to the music festival
    - Choosing a falafel over the high fat fried food on offer at the festie
    - Choosing a veggie burger the next day instead of a big beefburger
    - Not having chips just for the sake of it
    - Stopping drinking when I knew I'd had enough rather than carry on because everyone else is.
    - My friends saying how the weight I have lost is so noticeable now

    GOOD POST!

    Did a practice run on the C25K on Saturday (officially started this morning) and went to the movies and only ate a little popcorn.

    Im glad you chose my thread for your first post :) Great job on the 10K!!!

    The weight gain could be several things, could be water retention, you wouldnt have added that much muscle mass that would cause a weight gain though.

    I noticed that my size 18 jeans were barely hanging on to my hips. If I lose another inch or so, they'll fall right down to the ground!

    I was curious and pulled an old pair of size 16 jeans out of my closet and tried them on. THEY FIT! I haven't been able to wear those pants in almost 2 years :D:D:D
