I went into the office for the first time since march. Someone said "you're TINY!"
I've never been called tiny before!25 -
The second of the three pairs of jeans I bought now fits me, so I have three pairs of jeans now. That makes life a lot easier! Third pair won't even go smoothly up round my hips, though. It's funny, because all three pairs are the same size from the same brand, just different colors.15

I deadlifted 205 today! First time I have broken 200, and I didn't just do it once I did 2 sets of 5. I was on top of the world, I have wanted to get over 200 for so long.
225 here I come

I've been on holiday and doing some hikes with my BF in the Alps. I've been able to complete every single hike within the estimated time given in the official guides, including those with steep inclines.
45lbs ago, I needed at least twice the time estimated.
Not to mention I'm doing hikes now that I wasn't even capable of before (unless 10+ years ago): 500m (1600ft) elevation difference with only a few breaks going up and only slightly painful feet and legs after the descent.

It's not a big deal to anyone else, but you have to understand how certain I was this could never happen. To me, getting bigger was like a law of nature: The sky is blue, water is wet, and I am just going to keep getting fatter till I die. That's how I saw it.
12 weeks ago, I was at the beginning. I decided that 38" waste pants miserable to wear, I put them on the shelf. 36's were comfy and I tried on 35's and found they were snug but wearable. To be honest, it was emotional. I never thought this could happen.
Today my 36's are sagging and uncomfortable to wear, and my 35's are loose but comfy.
After two decades I can fit into 34's. I can't believe it!57 -
This is weight related...but also now I UNDERSTAND why it’s shared so much!
I’m not obese on the BMI chart anymore!!!!!
Holy moly I have been hovering so ridiculously close to this edge I just plain gave up on caring about it.
Then, just for kicks I checked again today.
Yep. Wasn’t expecting to feel this excited and motivated by this! Hahaha37 -
I got dressed today by picking out what I wanted to wear not by just whatever fit. This is HUGE.

My thighs are a bit more defined. Still plenty of work to go but I can feel muscle definition that 20 lbs lighter I have never felt before. Maybe that's why I am angry at my scale....muscle gain18

My bum is shrinking!!!!!
I can fit into my hiking shorts and jeans and they do up and I don’t look stuffed in18 -
My skinny jeans are fitting miles better! There are only 2 kg (ca. 4 1/2 lbs) between these pictures but I can see and feel a difference.

I’m down 25 pounds and while I still have a way to go my knees can touch when I stand up and my lower legs are straightening back out (previously knock kneed from extra weight). I can easily cross my legs at the knee and not be uncomfortable or have my top leg slip down. These have all been slowly changing but I’ve just noticed them al this week.22

There's a gap in the fence surrounding the park my family and I always walk to. Everyone can take the shortcut into the park through that gap... everyone except me, that is. I couldn't do it, not even close. So I always took the long way around.
A few days ago, my husband suggested I try the gap. I shrugged, but to my shock - voila! I could fit through the gap! With a tiny bit of room to spare! It was so exciting! It never even dawned on me to try.
For reference, I've lost about 50lbs during the quarantine/pandemic.62 -

This is so sweet to me. Do you think your hubby notices more of your changes than you do?13 -
Even when I don't feel like working out, I am reminding myself that a run can be as long and as I fast as I want it. Just hitting the pavement is a victory on its own. No need to run hard, just enjoy the outdoors time and your podcast. And still, my "I don't wanna" 5k time is sub 6min/km. This would have just been impossible 6 months ago.
I am beyond grateful to my body and the effortless way it reacts to the, pretty effort-intensive, changes I have made. Thank you for the win body, we might get a cupcake

I had a full weekend of drinking and eating poorly but instead of continuing that into the week, like I normally would have, I got right back on track!33

I just signed up for my first half-marathon! I'm really nervous, but I ran 10 miles 4 separate times in August, so I figured that I'm capable, but perhaps just scared that 13 seems like a lot more than 10. I have a month to finish up my training... Let's do this!26

Garmin has a 300k steps per month challenge badge. For September (@30days) that means 10K steps per day on average, which is my normal minimum. Easy to bag badge for me, but I like a challenge too. So what to do?
I upped the challenge for myself: Get the badge in half the time (15 days). This means 20K steps per day on average. Today I achieved that goal and the badge.
Note that that is an average my lowest day was 10.314 steps my highest 31.12424 -
The weather forecast was nice so I took the day off work and went for a ride.

This past weekend I was hiking with friends, one of whom I haven't seen for two months. As I was changing into my hiking shirt, he looked at me and said, "Kim! You're looking really fit right now!" to which I could honestly respond, "I'm FEELING really fit right now." Sometimes, the changes seem so gradual that it's hard to really see them yourself, so that reflection was a really nice boost. 10lbs down and 5% more muscle than I've had in years is really starting to show up.
Extra bonus: I was also able to keep up with him on most of the hike, which is something I've never been able to do!19
