Seriously, there needs to be a LOVE button, because LIKE is just not enough for these!!!
AWESOME!My reticent dad commented on my weight loss! The other day he met me in a parking lot to help with car issues. He said he didn’t even recognize me because he’s not used to seeing me in a smaller size.

-I did a 14 km long run last weekend (the longest I've ran in 9 years).
-My tiny, beautiful friend suggested I borrow clothes from her for my upcoming vacation
-A friend asked me if I'm going to sport a bikini on the trip (nope!)
-My teen aged daughter told me I'm in great shape
YASSSS! So cool that your instructor said something, but also that YOU feel it!!!Yesterday morning, as I was doing BodyPump, I thought to myself 'wow, for some reason I'm looking great this morning'.
After the class, the instructor came up to me to tell me I was looking great.
The freakin' fitness instructor thinks I look great. Let me tell you I am feeling insufferably good about myself right now.8 -
I was later than normal getting to my GRIT class at the gym the other day and I had to stand in the front row right in front of the mirror wall, and it didn't kill me.
I think I'm starting to feel a bit less self-conscious about other people seeing me work out. 24 -
There isn't enough information in her post to calculate her weight.
She pressed 15 pounds more than she thought she could and she is now 5 pounds away from her goal.
100 pounds lifted 45 and another 5 pounds she is half way.
Or 200 pounds lifted 145 and she is 5 pounds away from her goal.See, terrible maths! I read that as the OHP was 15 pounds! It's been a long day...
Big jump in PB, well done!!
And I, not paying attn, first read that she lifted 100lbs and was thinking, dang I wish! No, I lifted 60lbs, so at 129 I need to add about 5 more to hit 50%. That blasted lift stalled forever!6 -
I've not very flexible and it's difficult to get my thighs parallel to the floor when doing barbell squats. Started working on this about 6 months ago. Flexibility is slowly improving. Today I did goblet squats - 3x10 - to a box which puts me below parallel. Touched the box on every one!16

This picture! I can’t believe that my husband took a picture of me that DOESN’T make me want to cry. I’m actually kind of proud.
Especially considering I started here....

Had another bootcamp session yesterday and jogged the full kilometre warm up again 😁 We usually have our sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but because there was a funeral on Tuesday so we made up for our missed session on Wednesday.
I was one of the first few people picked for a team for our relay. From one of the fitter guys. And there were faster people than me! I almost caught my opponent on the second round (both times she got away before me) and had a friend who was there at the end to pick her daughter up tell me she didn't realise I was that fast a d she was glad she wasn't running against me! This is a friend who doesn't pay a lot of compliments so I'm chalking that up!
Went for my morning walk again this morning. I *almost* feel like I'm ready to step up to week 4 of c25k. I jogged for 7 and a half minutes on the bootcamp warm up so I know I would be able turtle pace it, maybe Monday.
On another note- I got to ride this morning! 😁🐴🤠 I've sure missed it.10 -
I've logged everyday this week, and I've had every mug of tea with no sugar

Well done on this, it's quite a habit to break. That first cup with no sugar - bleugh.
Wait until someone accidentally puts sugar in your tea - yuck! First time someone did this to me after I'd stopped putting sugar in my tea, I spat it out everywhere. It was the most disgusting thing ever (both the tea and my reaction!).

Tired of my work wardrobe that consists of about 7 outfits I wear over and over. Finally this morning I fit into a top that I haven't worn in a year. Gives me hope for the rest of my saved clothing!23

This is true. Same with every sweetened coffee drink. It's so funny how taste buds change!7 -
I went for a walk at the mall since the weather's still bad. It's the perfect place because it is so close but I can get some easy exercise and also do some shopping if I need to at Target.12

All day yesterday, there was a little devil sitting on my shoulder, trying to get me to do things that weren't aligned with my goals.
#1 - Go out to lunch. Get that cheeseburger and fries. You can get back on track tomorrow.
#2 - Stop at a convenience store and get a King Size Reese's Outrageous and a Vanilla Coke. You passed up the cheeseburger lunch. It'll be OK.
#3 - You don't need to go to the gym. You could make it a rest day.
#4 - Don't worry about walking during son's practice. It's freaking cold out there. Just sit in the car.
#5 - Just eat the mac n cheese hubby and son are having. It's no big deal.
#6 - Have ice cream instead of your protein shake. The calories will about equal out.
I told that little devil to *kitten* off on every single one of those!
Side note: I'm not against any of these things, per se. But I have to make weight for my powerlifting comp next weekend. After comp? I'm having that cheeseburger, fries, Reese's and ice cream! Then back on track on Tuesday!37 -

OMG... is it even possible? I soooo love my black tea with sugar and it's the one sin I can't overcome. Must be my Russian roots or ... weak self-discipline

The one pair of jeans that fit me while I was losing weight (everything else was huge already) is finally loose. It used to sit like leggings, now it s more like ,laundry day'11

Oh, yes, it's most definitely possible. Takes a while to get used to it, as in a cup of tea is downed very quickly, like a couple of gulps because it tastes so strange (read: bleugh) without sugar for a few days but once you're converted, that's it. You'll never look back.
Go on, try it!8 -
Yesterday, I changed into different boots with my jeans because one pair of boots with those particular jeans was making my legs look "too skinny". For someone who used to only dream of being able to wear skinny jeans tucked into boots because of her big legs, that was a funny thing and definitely a NSV.23

I still find plain black tea not so tasty (tho if it's all all that's available I can drink it without spitting it out!) but I do enjoy black tea flavored with cinnamon and cloves and definitely don't miss the sugar there.6 -
Ok so lying in bed and moisturizing my dry calves(dry hot air heated home) I feel the back of my thighs, behind the knee tendon/ligament connection and realize that I can feel that underlying muscle body structure vs fat thigh casing. Definitively missing knee fat!!! Only I can notice this but it made me very very happy last night before bed. Barbell straight leg deadlifts are my favorite 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻15
