I ran into a lovely old neighbor and colleague today. I haven't seen her in about twelve months. "Where on earth did you go?" she asked me. "We moved to the country, remember!" I replied. Turns out she meant where did my fat go, which I thought was hilarious
I love this! And every word on your profile page could be me:) Well said.6 -
I did my first parkrun! And I set a PB for a 5km walk/run! AND that makes 3 runs this week! YAAAAAAAY! My only issue is that I did a run yesterday too and my shins hurt :-( (I try to have an active rest day in between runs).
BUT I will rest up, stretch, rest some more and hopefully get a run in on Tuesday.14 -
I am really frustrated with my husband right now, the kind of frustration that would have had me reaching for a candy bar a month ago.
Today, it was more like "Well, what are you going to do about?" "Well, I am not going to eat because of it!"
Even after he turned down my inspired compromise.24 -
Goal that I wrote in my "Just-For-Today" thread post was to run 15 minutes on the treadmill at 5.5 m/h. DID NOT WANT TO GO at all. I warmed up at 3.5 m/h for 4 minutes and told myself I could count it against the 15 if needed. Got to 7 minutes and was like "I... don't feel any more tired than I did 3 minutes go. Weird."
Ended up stopping when the timer got to 30 minutes because I've got a Zumba class tomorrow morning and want to be able to do at least some of it!29 -
I have a new boss at work and we were doing my annual review, note: we now use our ID badges to log into the computer. My boss takes mine, looks at the photo and looks in shock. I've lost almost 60 lbs since that ID badge photo was taken. Needless to say, that made my day.27

I'm home alone, husband took kids on an outing. I was dreaming of the peanut m&ms I have hidden in my room (so my kids don't eat them all). Got on MFP and entered my supper and just over my allowance and knew to stay on track ---NO m&ms for me today. Still thinking of them, but not gonna eat them!34

About twice a day a healthcare vendor will bring in doughnuts, cookies, etc. Sometimes it's even "healthy" stuff like fruit or vegetables dipped in high fat ranch dressing. For the past week I've told each vendor, "Thanks but I don't eat anything I didn't bring." One became pretty insistent ("But just a bite won't hurt!") Anyway, I stood strong and made it through the entire week without eating anything I hadn't packed (which means it was measured and logged into MFP).
Also for the past week I've kept to my resolve to drink 3 bottles of water (about 54 oz) of water every day.
My reward? Bragging rights AND my fasting blood sugar going from 180+ in the morning to 148 this morning!35 -
Saw my trainer yesterday. I was telling her about how I struggled to bench the bar (45 lbs) when I was lifting on my own last week, and thought I might need to start with one of the smaller bars. She wanted us to just try it. I benched the bar x10 easy. She laughed and said I was crazy for thinking I needed to go lighter. Then we added 5 lbs, then 10 lbs.
Every day I am learning to stop underestimating myself when it comes to fitness -- a huge mindset change.32 -
Returning to work after 5 weeks off and my work shirts being way too big, soon will be needing new ones!21

Got another "have you lost some weight?" Comment at work yesterday lol and just walking in front of the mirror and thinking that I look good instead of noticing negatives. It's awesome!19

This is a definite win! Personally, I can't have dates in the house. If I'm making something that requires them I buy just the right amount I need. I once bought a big bag at Costco and ate through it within a few days. Which I guess is still better than the old me who would have eaten through it in one sitting LOL15 -
Fit into my size 32 Silver Jeans this morning. My size 33 were getting loose. Working towards my size 30 next.16

See, I'm the opposite - I love dates but more than one at a time is too much, so they are a perfect food to have around since I have to limit sweets after getting diabetes. More evidence that there's no such thing as one diet fits all! Congrats both of you on learning more about what is a good decision for you!16 -
I just walked 8km rather than doing usual thing of getting a taxi or a lift to pick the van up from where i left it last night after a boozy night out with the husband. I’m currently top of our Fitbit challenge, I enjoyed it and I know I need to keep moving to really see results.16

I went shopping at Macy's yesterday and while I was changing I noticed my stomach looks alot smaller. I then was able to fit into a pair or high waisted jeans Size 32 which I swore were going to be too big just based on how they looked. It just felt good to not hate what I saw in the mirror!13

I used to drink a Diet Coke every single day. It's officially been three weeks since my last one, and I haven't even craved it! Water and zero calorie teas are my new best friends. I perform better at the gym now, too, and I'd like to think this has a lot to do with it.23

That's awesome. I always lie about my weight when I have to get my license. [/quote]
I always have too, and have lied by a LOT. In fact, the first time I did it, the DMV clerk - herself a plus-sized woman - gave me a skeptical look. I said “that’s my story and I’m sticking with it.” She said she understood.
In reading original post, I realized that today, after 14 months of MFP and exercising, I’m only 7 pounds away from my DL weight. Unbelievable!21 -
The scale hasn’t moved in awhile but my husband wrapped his arms around me for a hug today and says, “you’re so little, I can really tell you’ve lost a lot!” That was a good feeling!26

I am suddenly back to 'normal' rather than overweight.
I saved some pants despite them not fitting for a year. . .and they fit again! In fact, they are becoming a bit loose. I am waiting until I am closer to my goal to go shopping though, stretchy pants and skirts will suffice until then.
I can now do more full form pushups as I could do on my knees one month ago.
Havent been going to the gym, been having beer and treats, and still staying within my calorie plan with no guilt whatsoever
Congrats everyone on your personal wins !!16 -
I bought a trench coat today. It's too small for me right now, I'm determined to fit into it by Autumn. The NSV is that it's beige. I shy away from light colours and tend to mostly wear black clothing which is more slimming and makes me feel less noticeable, so for me to buy a beige coat it must be a sign that I'm starting to grow more confident in my appearance, Also, I suppose just the act of buying a coat that is too small is an NSV too because it shows deep down that I must actually believe I can achieve my goal!22
