I completed week 1 of None 2 Run!16

I'd saved a very favorite pair of jeans from about 18 years ago. I haven't been able to squeeze in to them in at least 15 years. A couple of weeks ago I found them in the way back of my closet and thought "what the heck, might as well try them on", just knowing they still wouldn't fit. THEY'RE TOO BIG NOW!! Made my day. ;}
(down 81 lbs and counting--12 more to go!37 -
When my son drives my car, he puts the seat up closer to the steering wheel - and almost always forgets to put it back to where I have it. When that happens and I get in, I nearly die - my fat stomach gets smooshed up against the steering wheel, ugh, it's awful and embarrassing.
THE BATTLE IS OVER! I no longer have to move the seat - and I have at least 2 inches to spare! OMG, this is such an awesome feeling both physically and mentally!44 -
I can put tennis shoes on without having to put my foot up on a chair now and when I sit in the passenger seat in our van, the seatbelt doesn’t lock up on me simply because I moved around a bit: I take up less space! 🎉🎉🎉19

Today I entered the world of selfies. I nearly cried. I took a picture of myself and thought, "She's pretty. The girl in this picture is pretty." Not "as *close* to pretty as I'm ever going to get", not "my hair looks okay I guess" or "this could be worse". I actually feel like, at least in this picture, I'm pretty. I still lack so much confidence in myself but I feel it growing, little by little, and I can't wait to hold my head high.42

I wore a shirt last week that I haven't worn in a year or more because it was too tight. It fits great now.25

I finally fit into something other than my old maternity jeans.17

I'm starting to be more comfortable with being a little hungry at times. That used to be an anxiety/binge trigger for me, so the fact that I can say, "Yes, I'm hungry, but dinner will be ready in forty minutes, I can make it just fine," is a pretty big deal to me. At some point I want to try IF and see how it works for me, but not until I get this hunger/binge trigger sanded down more.29

I had a virtual doctor's appointment today. When I told her how much weight I lost she had me repeat it, then said 'that's a lot of weight to lose in such a short time." For reference, I'd lost just a smidge under 60 pounds since mid-May. I had MFP set for 1 pound per week, but the overachiever in me took the wheel. Slowing it WAY down now, but it's nice to have it reaffirmed that I've come a long way.18

I set up a pull up bar a few months ago. At my heaviest weight @ 250. I could always crank out 2 reps, because my upper body still has decent strength. Today 20.6lbs lighter, I went up to the bar to crank out 2. I tried for 3 like I always do, (and normally fail), and boom. 3 solid pull ups.
I was so excited I went back an hour later and did it again.
After work I went and did it a 3rd time! Now I'm thinking of starting a thing where I add 3 pullups to the amount I did the day before every day.

I got up this morning and walked for 15 minutes first thing! My goal is to eventually wake up earlier & walk/jog longer, but I am a chronic snoozer and have so much trouble getting up early in the mornings, especially working from home. Baby steps!!26

I ate half a donut this morning. That's a big deal! Let me tell you why.
This morning I took my daughter for donuts. It's what she wanted as a reward for a really good report card (we can talk later about using food as a reward!). She got a regular glazed donut and a small kolache. Since I was in the shop, I bought myself a blueberry donut, because that's my favorite. My theory was I could work it into my calorie budget for the day because I'd brought a salad for lunch.
Then I bit into the donut and didn't love it. It just didn't have much taste. I took a second bite, because I'd already started down the path. Then a debate happened in my head with these points:
Pros:
You've already started, so you may as well finish.
It's not that bad to have just one day over calories (Narrator: it's not just one day)
Cons:
It's not really that tasty.
It has a lot of calories with little nutritional value.
Today is a rest day, so there will be no "extra" calories to be consumed.
And then I stopped eating it. I stopped IN THE MIDDLE OF EATING A DONUT. The rest of the donut went back in the bag and into the trash when I got work! Feeling very proud of myself!54 -
I have cured my Obstructive Sleep Apnea.35

Went to the doctor today, my A1c on November 30th was an insane 11.4. After a month and a half it was down to 7.7 today! Doc said I don't know what you're doing, but whatever it is keep doing it. Next appointment is in 3 months. To be continued.....29

About 2 weeks in now and my waking blood sugars are under 95, except for the one morning when I had forgotten to take my insulin (I'm type 2) the night before and it was 120 in the morning. I was consistently over 140 in the mornings and am now at 60% of my former insulin dose.22

This is awesome! I really really want this to happen to me as well. How much weight did you lose? How do you know it's gone Did? Did you get retested?
Iv lost a large amount of weight since I was first diagnosed, but but doctor won't let me get retested. I had it really bad when I was first diagnosed, but iv dropped a bunch of weight.5 -
I bought a new treat from a local bakery, realised I didn’t actually like it that much and threw away the last third without much debate.22

FIt into a Prana XL size top.10

Under calories yesterday, went to a friend’s house and brought my favorite humongous homemade chocolate chip cookies. Had a salad and one small piece of pizza for dinner, and despite maybe a bit too much wine I did not eat a cookie. Not when my husband offered one, not when friend’s adorable little daughter literally handed me one. And just sat in front of all the chips and waited for dinner. After last weekend’s chip and dessert fest, this was huge! I noticed last weekend that alcohol lowers my inhibition on eating all the snacks food in sight, so very pleased I didn’t dive headfirst into the chip bowl this time.
And hopefully the few pounds of bloat I lost this week will be enough for me to fit into my cocktail dress tonight 😊19 -

For me -- and your results are certain to be different -- the 65 pounds that I lost helped, but the half inch off of my neck was probably what did the most of it. I had a really nice CPAP with a companion app that would tell me about how many apnic episodes I had per night. When I noticed that number got down to 3, I asked my doctor for another test. Does your CPAP track that information too? Maybe your doctor's hesitancy is influenced by that data.

Yea mine has that as well. Ever since I got it has always been 1-3 as long as no leaks. Last time I saw them they lowered the pressure slightly but I can't tell the difference.
I love the machine it, it changed/saved my life but its still a nuisance and I hope I can get rid of it eventually.2 -
I tracked for 30 days consistently on MFP today! Just getting back into this accountability has gotten me back on track and getting the scale moving in the right direction.30

I really wanted fast food today. Didn't go for it, ate my meal prep instead.
I really wanted to ask a coworker to grab me some gummy worms or Oreos when he went to the gas station. Didn't do it, had an apple instead.
I really wanted a bottled soda and told myself if I did 50 more squats I could buy it. Did the squats. Didn't buy the soda. Had water instead.34 -
According to BMI, I am now just normal obese not morbidly.35

I can pull my bigger size jeans off without unbuttoning or unzipping them. My next size down jeans are beginning to fit nicely at my waist.16

My hard work paid off this week when I lost 2lbs since last weighing in, making a total weight loss of 58lbs! Even when I logged it and none of MFP friends noticed, not even one like, I didn't let my disappointment or feelings of being let down make me comfort eat to compensate. I have logged it again today and let them know how I felt when they didn't even notice. Just a gentle reminder.22

I took a hike that my husband had said would be a little challenging but not too bad. Well he hadn't hiked it in at least 15 years and it was somewhat more challenging than he remembered. It was tough and tested me but I was able to complete it. I wouldn't have been able to do it ia few months ago.26
