I managed to drink 64+ oz of water every day for the last 30 days. That's the first time in my entire life. I'm in my 40s. Now to work on getting in more than the bare minimum!

What benefits did you feel?

My belt has to be tighter!

savagegirl316 · April 2018

I wore a dress that I have not been able to wear in well over 1 year!!!

CarvedTones · April 2018

I did the klutzy slurp of coffee and spilled a little on the floor. It missed my shirt!

Ran a 12K (7.6 mile) leg of our city's marathon yesterday. Ran it in 1:16:38 (about 10 minute mile pace). My goal was 1:20 so I'm pretty happy with that.

I haven't really noticed much if I am completely honest - But I also have several other health issues going on that are impeding my perception of what benefits all these lifestyle changes might be having on me. I am hopeful that my story will be a lot different when I am more than a month into making changes!

Aah! I finished Week 5 Day 3 (the doozy) of c25k... that's 20 straight minutes of running. I didn't think I would do it on the first go but I made it all the way through and only the last 3 minutes or so felt unbearable.

On top of that, I hooked c25k up to MFP (just learned you could do that!) and it registered my jog as 11.5 min mile. I have felt this whole time like I'm painfully slow so anything under 12 feels amazing! I have about 1.5 months until my first 5k and it feels so doable now. 3 days ago I was beginning to doubt I could finish at all!

My husband and I RAN A MILE as a WARM UP to our 5 mile bicycle ride yesterday. How is this my life????

A year ago I could literally jog for one minute straight and was completely winded. I worked myself up to running for 20 minutes straight, a 10-12 minute mile.

I think I heard a little voice in my head yesterday at the gym telling me...."go ahead add more weight...what are you waiting for...."sometimes I look at my 53 year old self standing in front of that DL bar wondering wtf are you thinking.... Yesterday I listened to the voice and I did it. 210 pounds.....off the ground. Who am I? There was a day I could barely lift my 267 pound self off the sofa. Joy. Pure joy.

acbraswell · April 2018

Over the weekend, I completed my first 4.5 mile run in 2 years. I was sidelined with ankle injury and surgery and the comeback has been slow.

kdbulger · April 2018

I ran my first continuous 5 kilometers on Friday. Today's run (25 minutes) was less mileage but it was just for fun. FOR FUN. Who even am I?

seltzermint555 · April 2018

I felt like I went pretty crazy with my eating on Saturday, spending time with friends and dining out 3 times in the same day, and just for fun I did an honest logging of the day (after the fact) and I'm pretty sure I was only about 400 calories over, and got in a little exercise that I didn't even log, to boot. I could have also had beer and more sweets but I didn't, and I was more than satisfied with what I did have. This is a big deal for me because even years into this stuff I sometimes lack hunger/satiety cues.

Tisha247 · April 2018

A friend complimented me on my high cheekbones, I guess you couldn't see them before weight loss.

workinonit1956 · April 2018

I hope this isn’t tmi but I bought a sports bra for the very first time over the weekend. It’s a victory for me just for the fact that I need one with how fast and far I’m walking now.

AwesomeSquirrel · April 2018

I had pizza tonight and I only had 2/3 whereas before I would have had the whole. Saving the rest for dinner tomorrow.

SamSam194 · April 2018

I started in January of this year and I have surprisingly kept up with my goals! All my clothes from before my weight gain fit! I can also run a solid 20 minutes without dying..(this one is huge for me since I’ve never been able to run longer than 5 minutes) and I’m still able to do the rest of my 1hr workout.

IILikeToMoveItMoveIt · April 2018

I checked a mark on my bucket list. Always wanted to run and after 5 months of training finished my first 5k! Very proud of myself!

concordancia · May 2018

I skipped a size in Costco's travel pants. Mostly. I mean, the 12s probably fit as well as the 16s did when I bought them, but I think I will keep wearing the 16s a little while yet.

KnitterNotAQuitter · May 2018

I visited Pier 39 and Alcatraz in San Francisco Saturday and climbed hills equivalent of 22 floors and walked more than 5 miles! (And I’ve logged 9K+ steps Sunday and Monday this week.) I never would have been able to do that before I started getting healthy, and if I can do that now at ~290, just thinking about what I’ll be able to do in the future is mind-blowing!

jefamer2017 · May 2018

Wearing a pair of pants that I bought 4 years ago and never wore. I bought them when I lost weight before and could almost fit then. I never fit into them. I also did 8 pushups with proper form. 2 months ago I couldn't do one.

KcRavassa · May 2018

I woke up and decided today is the day I bike to work. I haven't been on a bike in at least two years... I did 16 miles this morning, didn't take as long as I thought I would, and arrived at about the same time I would normally. Victory for sure!

For the first time in over 2 years, I finally fit back into my size 32 jeans. They are a little snug still, but I'm getting closer to being where I used to be.

drkuhl2017 · May 2018

I'm overcoming my eating disorder, today I am 9 days binge free! This is huge for me because before I was binging multiple times every day.

NewBetterBest18 · May 2018

I'm always in those non-form fitting scrubs so when I stopped into my job at the hospital wearing street clothes, I had co-workers complimenting me and even hugging me saying how "great" I looked. One guy confessed that he didn't even recognize me. He hadn't seen me in a while. That made my day!

kalahmarii · May 2018

Just tried on my high school grad hoodie from 5 years ago... I probably only weigh 10-20lbs less than I did then, but I'm quite a bit smaller than I was. More muscle mass I suppose!

guy_1987 · May 2018

I'm getting quite good on the rower.

2000 meters in 08:22.

About 3 years ago I once did it under 8 minutes which is really fast but 08:22 is my quickest since then which I completed last week.
