Aw, I’m so happy for you! What a fabulous nsv! Glad you’re doing wellHad tummy-tuck surgery 5 days ago. Went to Dr today and had pump removed, finally able to remove compression garment and take a shower. Dried off and sat on bed to dress. Looked down and for the first time in about 20 years my stomach did not roll over covering my groin and half my thighs. I cried happy tears for about 15 minutes.

Just talked a co-worker off the "ledge" she was ready to cave in on our pact and go to the cafe at work to buy lunch (typically pizza or nasty fried food) which we swore off of doing together because we make bad decisions. Normally I would have just agreed and walked down with her, but instead encouraged her to eat what she brought for lunch first and then see how she feels.38

Last year when I hiked it, I had to stop frequently to catch my breath and get my heart rate down. I had to take my inhaler even though I had already taken it before beginning the hike. I was miserable for most of the hike.
This year: I was able to keep up with my husband and friend. They didn't have to wait on me all the time to rest before I could continue. Most rest breaks involved hydrating myself or the dogs. Not because I couldn't walk another step. I decided not to take the long loop, because it would add another hour to a 3 hour hike. But I could have. We completed the short loop in 2 hours! I hiked the whole thing, without really stopping. My lungs protested a bit, but I did not need the 2nd puff on my inhaler. I hiked this year. Did not die. Fitness goal accomplished! (sort of)
The sort of part: In preparation for hiking comfortably this year I have been working my whole body towards that goal. Especially a focus on my glutes, quads, and hamstrings & the like to propel me up the mountain. I kind of left those tiny little muscles on my hips behind though. (hip flexors). I spent the good part of yesterday hobbling around like I was 80 because they were so sore! Apparently Pilates leg lifts needs to be part of my routine now.
Fantastic improvemet in your fitness level. Very inspiring for me. Hiking is one of my goals too.5 -

You SHOULD be proud!!! Peach pie is my favorite pie...no way I would have turned it down.I turned down peach pie tonight after checking the nutrition information and seeing it was 310 calories a slice! This was at a family dinner, which is usually tougher for me. So I’m pretty proud. 😊 5 -
Slipped my jeans down over my hips without unzipping, today... Think it's time for some smaller ones...25

I started weight training a month or two ago. Up until now, I’ve either trained with a friend or used free PT sessions from signing up to the gym. Today was the first time I went alone. To the scary free weights section of the gym, where I was the only woman. 8 months ago I couldn’t even go to the supermarket alone as I was in the grips of severe depression, and I would have laughed if you had told me what I would have done today. I’m actually proud of myself!65

One of the instructors at my gym is blatantly trying to poach me from another instructor's classes.
I mean, I don't know why she's trying to poach me, it may be that all the errors in my technique are killing her and she just wants to get her hands on me to fix it. But it's nice to feel wanted 27 -
I've had two people in the past two weeks (in an office of only 12!) compliment this one skirt I have. It's not a new skirt. I've worn this skirt probably once a week for MONTHS. The only thing that's changed is my weight. My skirt looks better on me now, I think, and it's drawn out the compliments!26

@IremiaRe
That's awesome! And, yes when pants can come on and off without undoing them, time to go down a bit. From someone that has lost substantial weight, I recommend buying pants that are slightly snug (will last longer as you continue to shrink), and a belt. Preferably a belt that is adjusted via clips/the strap and not belt holes (if you still have more than 50lbs to go) or you'll find yourself needing to make new belt holes as well.8 -

This just made me go look at my DL. As of today, my weight actually matches what is says on my DL. I haven't weighed that in a while, but never bothered to change it while updating my license!
That is kind of exciting! 13 -
Today's NSV - stopped eating when almost full, and didn't feel like I needed to finish the whole meal and then add a pudding on top like I would have done two months ago 18

I looked at mine today, too (because I got a ticket
). Our weights aren't printed on our licenses in Texas, but my weight was printed on my ticket. It's the first time I think that I've weighed less than what my license says. (And I lied about my weight at the time it was issued because I was so heavy!)

My weight is printed on my Oklahoma DL. It shows about 20 or 25 lbs less than I actually weighed at the time (2017), but 55 lbs more than current weight. But I have to wait almost 3 years to renew unless I pay a reissue fee...

I am confused, they weighed you before issuing you a ticket?
