Thank you! I really was so much more confident!6 -
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.33 -

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!

That is such great news about your a1c! Keep it up! Mine was 11 when I was diagnosed and is consistently under 5 now that I have lost weight and eat within the number of carbs that I can tolerate.12 -
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!!! 🙂

I am equally as excited when I fit chocolate bars into my day’s meals as when I fit tuna in them.
Been working on incorporating every food I like into my weekly budget and never feeling deprived. This has been a new way of life for me and it’s bringing me a lot of joy and confidence. I am soooo very close to maintenance that I have no doubt I will enjoy it as much (if not more) than I am living now.21 -

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!14 -
I had my first person notice my weight loss today! I’m at 39.2lbs lost (17.8kgs) so was wondering if anyone was ever going to notice. I’ve still got about 90lbs to go but I’m feeling so much slimmer and my stomach has gone down so much that it must be noticeable.36

Very good news! It will only get better! Be proud of yourself6 -
Went to visit my 88 yr old Aunt in the hospital and the first thing she said was, "you've lost weight!" and then right after she said, "you've lost enough now, don't lose any more!" haha. it was so sweet and the amazing part is, she has dementia and still remembered!43

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.21 -
I think I need new EMT pants!47 -
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.

Room under my jeans for long underwear just as winter arrives. I feel so much more cosy when everything *isn't* skintight.27

Legs are super sore from last two days of lifting workouts, but I still managed to make time on treadmill, helps me stay on track if I do something.

I have always loved these inexpensive little dresses at thia store near me. They get them in all sorts of colours but the sizes are always super small ( and xl is closer to a m in most stores).
Well not only did I fit in one today but I fit in a Medium.37
