@bear2303 I can tell you are more confident in your latest picture.:)

Thank you! I really was so much more confident!

Well I'm having issues with loose skin pretty much everywhere but my bingo wings are making me fearful that I may actually take flight.

However... The tops of my 'wings' are starting to show definition. I was entranced as I did resistance training today, looking at the shapes my arm moved into. I have biceps! Actual visible ones!

I know, right?! When I first started training I couldn’t bear to look at myself in the mirror, but now it’s just so fascinating to watch stuff bulge in places it’s supposed to! It’s like a science lesson sometimes!

I have been targeting this NSV for months and here it is:
My standing line/joke leading up to today's doctor appointment was "I want my lab results and visit to be so good that it makes her consider changing professions" 😆 Now, of course that wasn't going to happen, but her telling me that she is "blown away" by what she saw and read today is a very gratifying and very, very suitable substitute! And she got a good laugh out of the line when I told her. BTW, not seen in picture was A1C at 5.8 (6.1 in May) and fasting blood glucose of 100. At my May visit, I weighed 281!
Ain't no stopping me now!!! 🙂

Nice work! (I think the medical-markers improvement posts are my favority ones to see here: So powerful and inspiring.)

Blood pressure is pretty awesome now, too, I see.

Good show, and go, you!

Received my lab results from my 6-month checkup:

Diabetes A1C: From 8.8 (Diabetes level) to 6.1 (Pre-diabetes level). Next goal is below 5.7 (Normal level).

Cholesterol: From 214 to 210. Next goal is below 200 (Normal level).

Triglycerides. From 276 (High Level) to 174 (Borderline Level). Next goal is below 150 (Optimal level).

My doctor was very pleased, said to keep up the good work and shall see me again in 6 months. I hope to lose another 25 pounds by then, and continue with my healthier eating and exercise.

Very good news! It will only get better! Be proud of yourself

I noticed this morning that my capris (16w) were looking pretty terrible, baggy wise, so I tried on a new pair of pants (20 regular) and fit PERFECTLY. 😍😍😍. I'm not sure exactly how sizes go from plus/womens to regular sized but... 16W is the smallest plus size my store carries and 20 is the biggest regular size so that must be the line?


I can honestly remember a time when if I needed jeans I would just go to Walmart and buy the biggest size (28W) and cross my fingers the zipper would zip.

This was a day I was targeting along with yesterday's doctor visit. One year ago, nevermind my poor mobility, the "struggle was real" putting these size 42 jeans on. It took major effort to button, too tight to wear, so I didn't. This morning they are almost too loose! I also tried a pair of nicer slacks I still have, size 40...they fit too. I see a shopping trip in the not too distant future.

WIN!!!! Dinner at my favorite Mexican restaurant and I came out with calories to spare!!!!!!!!

I’m gonna go home and have me a dessert!!!!
