I planned my birthday weekend. I'm cooking the three of us a large Indian meal on the 17th, and then on the 18th I'm going to go see my mother and get my birthday present from her and from my sons, who live with her since Dad died, and then watch them open their Christmas presents from me. Lunch will also happen.
How is this an NSV, you ask? Because for the last ten years at least, my chronic pain has been so bad that the day after cooking an elaborate meal, I couldn't contemplate socializing with anyone. I would have a hard time walking to the bathroom that day, let alone cooking anything, let alone using the worst of the two feet to drive somewhere any distance at all.
And now I'm fifty pounds lighter, and enough pain reduction has happened that I can plan that with confidence that I'll be physically able to go, and I won't be so sore that I can't enjoy it.20 -
All my jeans from last year look like clown pants on me so I’m getting rid of them.
I was feeling good on my walk today and I broke into a light jog and it didn’t feel like I was dying.
I pre-logged chocolate for myself (trying to figure out how to treat myself in moderation) but I managed to forget??? To eat them??? And I already brushed my teeth for the night!25 -
Normally during TOM my bigger clothes fit about right. This month they're still big and my middle size clothes fit well! Also went down two bra sizes.20

I made a homemade pizza last night, and it had Italian sausage and cheese. It was hearty! I limited myself to one moderately sized piece! My hunger was quite satisfied with that, plus a salad. It really was enough.18

Rode my bike to the bike shop to get a back rack and basket for errands. The man who installed my rack commented, “you’re livin that bike life, huh?” Well, not yet but I’m trying! Two Target pickups, one wine shop trip, and a donut store trip so far this week thanks to new basket! So much more pleasant than riding with a giant backpack.19

I tried on new shoes. I stood on one leg, took out one shoe, put the shoe on the floor, took out wool sock (Finnish winter, can´t do without), put on the new shoe, fastened it, then put my foot back down. Stood on one leg for the whole procedure, with ease.19

I'm officially fitting comfortably into a size smaller for my jeans!13

My non scale victory is finally fitting in the dress I wore to my wedding dress rehearsal 13+ years ago. I’ve kept it all these years, dispute almost giving up hope. But I refused to get rid of it.
I did it!
And it feels so freaking good smashing this goal!

Shoveling heavy snow and not breaking a sweat or breathing heavy like I used too. proving that losing 100 lbs and exercising every day, does the heart and lungs good.23

I entered two runs for yesterday. A 5km and a 2.5km, back to back, thus adding up to 7.5km. The farthest I've ever run is 5km. I completed both runs back to back and was only 3 minutes slower overall than my last 5km run time.17

I'm in the elderly category at 67. Losing considerable weight means that my wrinkles become more pronounced and that there are more of them. In the sunlight today I saw the lovely pattern of geometric crinkles up and down my arms. I see my face losing its wrinkle-defying plumpness, in the morning my eyes are double-lidded. My thighs are muscular, but over the muscles there is a whole lot of saggy baggy skin.
I embrace all of this, reminding myself that I had ovarian cancer 6 years ago and survived it, and had a thyroid lobe removed 3 months ago, the scar has healed wonderfully, and I can breathe and swallow without obstruction now. I have been so lucky in this skin, so I embrace it in all of its changes with all my heart!44 -

I am seeing this as well. But it's still better than the exta weight. I can move around better and feel more energetic and confident. My goal is to live a long happy healthy life. Wrinkles don't affect that but the extra weight does. So, I am right there with you!14 -
My boss (the managing director) just now: "ehm, I hope this is not inappropriate but did you lose weight, you look fantastic".
Yay, thank you for noticing!!20 -
I was taking a bath and when I looked at my legs I was like, "Wait, that's cute. My legs are cute."25

I have had some hardcore struggle days when it comes to eating, to the point of binge eating. I went through a depressive period and the transitional period coming out of it made eating a big struggle. I'm doing better though, and I'm hoping being back here will help me be more consistent!35
