I haven’t been doing great the last week or two. The chocolate stash and cheese drawer have been dipped into way more than intended and I’ve felt bad about it even while trying to kee my spirits up by the fact that I’ve entered week 4 of C25K (a win in itself).
Today I met a friend for lunch who I haven’t seen for 2 months.
First words out of his mouth was “wow, a lot has happened (gestures), you look really well”. Such great validation that my progress is noticeable! He hasn’t seen me in about 10kg, and likely his mental image of me is even heavier since I’ve lost around 35kg since last summer and he used to see me almost daily until mid February.
It made me feel really good and motivated, this is the first clearly articulated reaction I’ve received!
I will persevere.28 -
For the first time EVER, I was able to get into the Wheel position in my yoga class!22

Put my husbands mens medium jacket on to run out for the bins, and it felt weird, got in, looked in the mirror and realised it's now massive around my shoulders. We're the same height, only he's about 20lb lighter so this maybe the first time I've felt feminine grabbing some of his clothes.20

I was making dinner tonight and felt like I was starving, which I wasn’t. I decided to drink some water and eat a healthy snack, log it, then read about your successes on MFP. I no longer want to open the bag of chocolate chips in the pantry. My snack was 100 calories and I think it will help me keep my portion size at dinner under control. So I think it was a wise choice.25

Once or twice a year, we indulge in "junk food pizza" (Pizza Hut). So yesterday I ate half of a large pan pizza and still managed to stay in a deficit, thanks to smart choices earlier in the day and a high step count. Usually high calorie meals at the end of the day send me over my goal, but I'm getting the hang of anticipating and planning for treats!21

My weight has been fluctuating for the past month so I started working out daily to try and see some progress, but I only lost 1lb on my weigh in so ive been disheartened...But then today i've tried on a top that was tight and unwearable a few months ago and it fits fine now! Must have lost some inches25

Had a stressful couple weeks but managed to keep my gain to 0.5 lb and have started back logging and exercising today!17

I haven’t posted here in awhile but I’ve been reading y’all’s successes! It’s been fun to see the group members change over the last several years. I’m down nearly 150 lbs in 4+ years and I’ve been able to cut 10+ lbs since corona quarantine began. I recently passed my previous low.
My NSV is that my wife with tears in her eyes looked at me and put her hands on my wife and told me how proud she was on me. The love I felt from her at that moment was overwhelming. It’s great to have that in your corner27 -
I don't weigh myself, I have starting measuring instead with a tape measure.
My first measurements was on the 17/4/20 so 8 days ago and I have lost....
1/2 inch off my waist,
boobies the same,
1/2 inch off my hips,
3/4 inch off my right leg,
1 1/4 inchs off my left led
arms are the same
A total of 3 inches.
If I had weighed I would have probably given up if I had of seen a weight I wasn't happy with but when I see inches dropping I can see what I am doing IS working.23 -
I just beat my mom in a 7-day activity challenge (through Apple watch) even though she's a beast and currently training for a tri. I was so pumped!20

I have a few...
1.) Yesterday was one of my son's birthday, he asked me if he could pick me up and carry me upstairs...I said yes and he did. He was soooooo happy that he could not only pick me up, but carry me upstairs with NO problem at all. He said him being able to pick me up and carry me is one of the best birthday presents he's ever had. Note: none of my many children EVER saw me slim, in all of their lives...they grew up only seeing me obese and overweight. Also, ALL of my entire family is slim and trim, I was the ONLY obese/overweight person in my entire family. Now we all "match" and they are so glad and me too!
2.) I was in Target the other day and two people told me they LOVE my haircut!
3.) My husband told me I'm looking younger and younger everyday--he said I look like a teenager or young woman. I'm a senior citizen!
4.) I no longer have dark circles under my eyes.
5.) When I went for a walk the other day...I started "skipping"...I have NOT skipped in many, many, MANY moons!25 -
I've been able to keep to my deficit for the past week despite a knee injury. I've been a little bit more strict because I knew it was going to be a sedentary week, and was successful.21
-
I did that Tom Holland handstand challenge today.10
-
Im here and still trying! Stress eating was the name of the game the first three weeks of the quarantine but the last two have brought back my focus to a degree and I feel more energy around getting stronger again.19
-
I somehow missed the last walk interval of C25K Week 4 Day 2. I kept waiting for the bell, so when I heard it I about $h!t when I had to keep running. Steep hill still conquered. I'm going to wear that sucker down.14
-
I've been doing PT exercises for back and knee, and my abs are sore. It's a victory to discover I still have abs12

I'm about a third of the way on my weight loss journey and I've just realised I'm starting to feel good about myself. So much happier, enjoying find old clothes that fit, window shopping online at cute outfits and not hating the idea of showing my body off. I've still got a huge way to go to my 100 pound target loss but the mental shift has definitely started.21

Today is my Mom's birthday. She passed away in 2018. I talk to her every day and as I pass by her photo, I give her the thumbs up after my workouts. I know she would be proud of me, and also telling me to take my vitamins haha. Miss you Mom!35

This scene is a huge nsv for someone like me as I've only experienced this watching movies not real life...
I was so unbelievably flattered this morning...
I went to pick up my free birthday latte at Starbucks but wasn't ready yet so walked away. Behind me was a handsome tall young man with blue eyes at least 10 years younger than me, when I turned back around to check my order I caught him at a total frozen pause at the doorway threshold holding door open staring at me unabashedly with a huge smile even boldly did the slow once over body scan. I NEVER got that kind of attention when I was obese... I'm so motivated now to stay at my high school weight and keep my girlish figure...20 -
The last 6 months have been a struggle for me. Broken arm, surgery, cancelled trips and running events due to broken arm, holiday and vacation weight gain, illness, family emergency travel, mother's death, pandemic. It all seems to be running together lately.
My NSV came today when I finished a nice long 90 minute run and realized I ran over 100 miles in April! Goal for May? Do it again!35
