I know this may sound silly, but I went from morbidly obese to in the obese category today. One step closer!!

Not silly at all!!! I don't even know you and I'm so so happy for you!!!

I took a picture with my husband and my double chin is gone!

@ExistingFish @Evelyn_Gorfram @AnnPT77. Thanks for the ideas and for taking the time to write such detailed replies. Here's what a did. I was at the thrift store with my son (he likes to buy old movies there). I looked for something denim that I could cut up to make belt loops and bought a pair of toddler jeans for $2. When I got home I realized I could use the belt loops from those jeans. I have stitched them down by oversewing the top and bottom with waxed button thread. Now to see how well they hold up

Another Saturday in China with nothing but time. So I pushed my swimming distance record a little further.
17.6km (11 miles). It took 6:25:37. My wife got mad when I told her. She's worried that I'd have a heart attack over 7k miles from home.

Holy Moly! You are seriously amazing! Way to go!

I ate 1/2 a large peach for dessert tonight even though my husband bought chocolate ice cream. I resisted.

After seeing my cardiologist this week, he attested that my extra systoles are almost completely gone (not through something I did), and that my shortness of breath when doing even the slightest exercise (walking up one flight of stairs, trying to chat with friends while walking etc.) is probably not heart related at all but might instead be exercise-induced asthma, which is easily fixable. I consider that a major win, as it gives me hope that exercise could be fun for me again, and that I might actually have a chance to build stamina again.

I heard about thigh gaps. But not toe gaps! I was sitting and looked down at my bare feet and noticed gaps between each of my toes. Where did those come from!?

There's also finger gaps. Usually discovered trying to catch crumbs swept off the table or while getting ready to shampoo and everything slips through your fingers .

I felt like crap all week, but stuck to my goal of at least 30 minutes of exercise 5x a week! It's true that motivation does NOT last, but discipline and good habits will. I would have much rather stayed in bed all weekend. I think the fresh air and getting out of bed did me some good because I feel almost at 100%... almost.

Road my bike 53 miles yesterday. I felt good and probably could have gone more relatively easily.

Didn't feel my legs as much as I had from previous rides hours to the next day after when going downstairs in my home.

Just might get a century ride in before the end of the season this year.
