The superfood side (small) is pretty good too if you have room in your food plan.
I saw that but I'm deathly allergic to nuts, so I had to go with the fruit. ;-)-2 -
I ran for 2hrs24mins. Covered 12.39 miles and am feeling much more confident about my half marathon in July.
More confident in general too. Applied for a new job, got my hair cut shorter than ever before.
After the run today I was totally strutting round the supermarket wanting to tell complete strangers what I had just done! (I didn't....cos that'd be weird lol)
Got in from run, stretched and then washed up and mowed the lawn! Now my hips, knees and feet are a tad achey but nothing serious. Very happy!!
Holy Crap! That’s amazing!! Love your confidence and your spunk! No wonder you’re so happy. You have every right to celebrate. Btw, I wish I had been in the store. I would have jumped for joy with you! (Weird or not. LOL)13 -
For the first time in years, I was able to buy leggings in a large. No more XL for me!27

The nuts come is a separate package. I believe you can simply not add them. Ask them to bring you one to examine before you choose should you want to try.

My powerlifting meet went amazing! PRed all my lifts. 242.5 lbs (110 kgs) on squat. 170.9 lbs (77.5 kgs) on bench (no video). And broke state record with my deadlift, 385.8 lbs (180 kgs)! And I qualified for Nationals in October.

On a cruise this week, I rode the Skyride into the wind. It’s a frame hanging from a track and you pedal around the outside of the ship, way up in the air. The wind blew me backwards (pedals going backwards). I refused to think they might have to haul me back to base, dug in and pedaled to the end. I can’t believe I could do it.24

Happy to have had a few NSVs over the last week or so...
- Fit into a pair of 14 jeans that I was sure would be another month before I could wear them. (down from an 18)
- Bought a bike and have actually ridden it each day since. (even if my legs are jello after only 10 mins, I'll get there)
- Took my son to iHop this morning with every intention of having an 'over' day. Ate exactly what I wanted this morning at late breakfast, then what I wanted at dinner. Still have 400+ calories left for the day.
- Went from being winded walking 0.2 miles to the mail box (about a month ago) to my first 2.5 mile walk last night without a break.

Last weekend I beat my parkrun pb by 2 minutes and this weekend I climb Snowdon
My legs feel rubbish this morning but I'm so happy that we made it to the top 25 -
Ran my longest run today. 4.8 miles. Working my way up to that 10k. A year ago I couldn't run 1 full minute. Feeling pretty good about myself.26

@tammierlewis - Well done!2 -
Not sure if I have posted this one before as it has happened a few times and I have very mixed feelings about it. I have had people share snide remarks with me about others who are overweight. Depending on the situation, I do sometimes let people know that used to be me and I don't appreciate that kind of denigration. But it is an indicator that I am seen as one of the fit people by other fit people.22

@quiksylver296 - you are totally beyond awesome.

I don't like this at all. It happens to me all of the time, even though I am still technically a little overweight myself, I suppose I am seen as "average" (not in plus clothing and pretty active). I don't take it as a compliment though as that isn't a "club" I want to be in, the mocking & shaming of heavier people. No thanks.
The worst (for whatever reason) is when it's people who knew me when I was at my heaviest. I don't know how they can do this when they remember how big I was. It really bugs me. Most of the time though it's people who didn't know the heavier me and just assume I have always been my current size.
I usually just ignore the rude comments on other people or say something positive. For example my 72 year old father made a snide remark about our server in a restaurant who was very big and I said "she's so young & pretty, are you serious?" and he was totally embarrassed as he should be.

It really surprises me also when it is someone who knew me heavy. I called out someone on that no long ago and he said that at least I realized it was a problem and fixed it. Until I maintain this a whole lot longer, I am not sure I fixed anything and it still doesn't make comments like that any more acceptable. Don't they realize that I now assume they talked like that about me?16 -
I just got back from shopping for a shirt and belt to go to a couple of graduations. I have pants that are passable; a little big but okay. I had trouble finding a belt. At one store, 32-36 was the smallest men's belt. At another, they had very few 30" belts, but at least they had them. I bought a medium dress shirt. I tried a medium fitted and was able to button it over a T shirt, but it was a little too tight. The large shirts in my closet are way too obviously the wrong size. I can get away with large casual and especially my island shirts but an oversized dress shirt looks bad.11

It's a little thing but it feel so much bigger so I wanted to share.
I'm not afraid of stairs anymore
I used to go out of my way to find escalators and elevators (lifts) because I dreaded taking stairs. Not anymore. 32 -
I gave myself permission this weekend to not log anything and to eat (and drink) whatever I wanted at a beerfest in Alaska. I mentally prepared myself to gain a couple pounds and I was totally ok with that! Instead, I ate until I was full (it still wasn't exactly healthy food) and lost 1/2 a pound by the end of the weekend! I think I've finally re-wired my brain so that I'm happy eating because I'm hungry, not because I'm bored/food is within reach, which is a HUGE deal for me.36
