My journey so far:
- I have continuously logged everything for 60 days
- All my clothes are getting baggy-er and will need new winter clothes at a smaller size ๐
- My fitness is amazing! 3.5km on C25K, 4km hiking in 45mins, I can manage 12 (!!!) assisted pullups ๐ฎ Strength is definitely improving
- Face has thinned down, arms are showing definition, legs are noticeably thinner. Stomach area looking flatter. Bust slightly smaller....
- Right ankle pain GONE, knee pain GONE, lower back issues GONE, ITB much much better.
- I feel more happier, am kinder to myself, sleep a *kitten* load better and feel more focussed.
- I have been logging 1300-1600 net calories, with the exception on some Saturday's, where it's around 1600-2000
I am the most happiest that I can share this with MFP family. Unfortunately, my husband hasn't commented/not shown any care and my sister doesn't react well with anything weightloss or fitness related.
But this community has given me so much support, motivation and love. I thank each one of you ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Awww congratulations on your achievements!!...hopefully the family will come around.8 -
I really didnโt want to go hiking today. I was tired, it was blowing a gale (well, not quite an actual gale, but there was a weather warning of wind throughout the county), my dodgy ankle ached...
I return a conquering hero, having hiked through sun, rain, wind and hail. The hail stung like bullets, the wind whipped me in the face with my own rucksack straps, I realised somewhere in mile 14 that Iโd strained my thigh (probably compensating for that ankle) - and I wouldnโt have missed it for the world.24 -
Beautiful day after weeks (more like months) of rain and gloom, so aired up all the bike tires, convinced the 5 yo to squish in the bike trailer with the 3 yo and took the older boys on a 3 m round trip bike ride to the snow cone shop. I only took about 3 bites of the younger boysโ ice cream, so NSV there too
theyโre excited to try a slightly longer ride to the baseball fields, with a goal of working up to the 3.6 m each way trip to their best friendsโ house. Love seeing them tackle with ease something that last year seemed impossible, and make plans for harder goals. 5 yo is eyeing his older brotherโs bike and wanting to finally be confident without training wheels. Pretty sure the 3 yo just wants the bike trailer to himself to eat snacks in, but hey, theyโve all got goals.
ETA: I can see the gigantisizing of America at work in this shave ice shop. EVERYTHING is huge. There are no kidโs sizes. The smallest cup is what would have been an adult medium when I was a kid. Mine shared two to a cup, but still...nothing smaller??? It would have taken gargantuan will power to eat half of that โsmallโ and throw the rest away (not going to bike it home).12 -
Had to buy my first cocktail dress for my niece's wedding. Even though the scale is not showing a big change I am down one full dress size! Yes indeed!!!25

Thankyou @lleeann2001 ๐๐
I honestly don't care if they come around. I'm doing this for myself and only me. I'm happy to celebrate each goal/milestone on here and with the MFP community. I cannot let my husband or sister bring me down. It's sad, but I'm at peace with it ๐
I only wish I can be an inspiration to my sister - she needs to lose weight before her health suffers.15 -
70 degrees here in Va today. I brought out my shorts and they were loose, no better feeling than that! 30 lb loss since last July so it really makes a difference.13

I bought this belt *years* ago. It has never fit me, yesterday I tried it on again after trying it on and it almost fitting last weekend. I can get it done up! So excited to be able to wear it finally, I have a barrel race this weekend, I think by then the belt will fit even better (it's actually not as tight as I expected it to be)22 -
Oh also- 22 minutes of jogging last night! Turned on Map my walk as I started my jog part of c25k w6d3 (I think) and I jogged 2.97km in that time- so close!16

I miss the gym! I have an 11 week old gorgeous German shepherd puppy who needs lots or attention right now, had her 3 weeks and managed gym once. Iโve been on the puppy diet and lost 5 lbs as no time to eat much lol. Hoping to fit in gym next week or so once can take puppy out for long walks (can gym when she sleeps). I adore her, but never thought Iโd be someone who misses working out lol16

One of the first things I ever wrote on my wall at the beginning of my weight loss journey was a mini-rant about getting emails from UA. Congrats, they said! You have logged for X Days - have a 20% off coupon code! Excellent, for the first time in 20 years I actually needed workout gear, yay!! But when I went to go get some new clothes, they didn't have ANY plus size gear. I was, quite literally, about 14" from being able to fit into their largest available size. Bummer. Yesterday, I got my first order from UA with 2 workout shirts in it - and they fit!! It's the largest size they offer and I just don't care. 340 days into this and I can finally fit into normal-ish size clothes - woot!!!37

I bought several pairs of shoes a few years ago and they were too tight and I never got a chance to wear them. Put them on Friday and they fit perfectly!!!14

That's what i said when i had an epiphany as a health coach/mental health social worker. Clients kept referring people, saying, "She helped me lose 75 more lbs," or "She gave me another way to look at things." Time was my excuse, now I'm running to the third floor 10x day smh. "Practice what you preach" is my new motto. Gained a new client today because of that lol13 -
Packed up the dogs into the truck and my husband and I took a nice long ride Sunday. When we needed a break, we stopped at McD's. I took care of my break, my husband came back to the truck with a double cheeseburger and fries with a soda. I was hungry too but waited until I saw a Subway and got a 6" turkey w/a ton of veggies, it was exactly what I wanted.15

I inspired a friend to start c25k! We finished week 1 day 1 together today! I canโt believe Iโm an inspiration. This time last year I couldnโt run for 30 seconds, and now Iโm training for a half marathon-crazy15

I remember being on a double date when I was 22 (twenty years ago) and thinking the other girl was so lucky she could wear those pants. She wasn't skinny but still looked very good in them and I definitely could not see myself ever being able to wear that (very large fat roll in that area). Yesterday she was my inspiration because I looked just like she did in them, I practically wanted to high-five myself if I'm honest!
#goals! Sailor pants are a biggie for me too! ๐๐ป high five ๐๐ป11 -

Same here. I get mildly agitated when I have to skip a workout. Your puppy, though, will get you plenty of cardio with walks.7 -
Kinda weird NSV but i hadn't run in about a week b/c the weather here has been awful, raining and cold. I had gotten pretty down on myself for skipping my runs.
So, i got out there this morning expecting to be winded and outta shape and it felt amazing.15 -

I was getting annoying because I wanted to wear a body con dress but couldn't find my control top tights, which make the dress way more flattering. It was like all of my tights were just regular tights. Turns out my control top tights are just too big so they don't suck my stomach in anymore.26
