Objectively kind of lame, but progress for this ol' gal: I got a chin-up (palms toward me) then a nose-up (same move, just short 2-3 inches), then repeated the same after a minute. It's short of what I wish I could do, but I'm working on it.32

Today marks 1 year since my a1c was 9.5 and my liver values were through the roof. My a1c was 5.1 today and has been in normal range for 6 months, my liver values have been within normal for nine months, I've logged 355 days on Mfp and yesterday was my biggest step day since starting to use my fitbit at over 16000. (And I've lost 51 lbs so far). I've never stuck with an exercise routine or tried to eat healthier for longer than 6 weeks in my lifetime. I struggle sometimes with missing my old habits but I'm glad I keep coming back to it and am very happy with this past year's results.23

That's not lame at all. Pull-ups (not the same but close enough) are oddly my favorite exercise, probably because I use to rock climb. When I started getting healthy again I couldn't come close do doing a single rep, but I could do negatives. Use a chair or stool to get to the top position and then slowly and with control lower yourself down. Do multiple sets of those with multiple reps and you'll be able to do more of the full movement in no time. That's how I got back into it and now I can do 5 sets of 7 or 8. Still not at my goal but it's a lot better than where I started.
Keep going, you'll get it.10 -

Negatives are how I got this far. 😉5 -

In that case, how will I be able to take credit for any of your future success?
Just kidding. Keep at it and you'll be cranking out reps sooner than you think. I still remember how excited I was when I did 3 clean reps in a row. From 2 to 3 was a hurdle for me, then things started to pick up.6 -
In 2016 I was diagnosed with heart failure.
I was 237kg and the right side of my heart enlarged and wasn't working hard enough.
Its been slowly getting better ever since. With scans every 6-12 months (covid messed things around)
Last week i received a letter from cardiologist, for my second test in a row, my heart is entirely normal in appearance and both sides are functionig within the normal range. So i am discharged from the cardiologist and i dont need to see them any more.
And this is the nsv page but i weigh 114kg now.60 -

I seem to have gone up a grade at bouldering recently. I now flash v3, and my standard project is v4. I have got v5 very occasionally.
My goal is to get to v6 before my birthday - I am 50 in October. (I won't be climbing on the day, as I will be scuba diving in rural Cornwall.)8 -
Mixed emotions NSV. In 2020 when I started this journey I bought a beautiful wedding band and diamond. This week I had to put it away until I feel I am at a stable weight. My husband suggested trying on a pinky ring that I had put away because it did not fit. It now fits my ring finger. It's beautiful so at least I still feel married. 🙂😁😃🥰 I'll get the other sized eventually.19

I looked in the mirror and realized my face is looking thinner/smaller/better defined. Not that I was the Kool-Aid man before, but I definitely was looking...jowly...and now I'm not.19

I got a lovely slinky dress in a medium today which my husband thinks looks great- and another dress I tried was fine over my stomach - but too tight over my boobs. That's the kind of bad fitting that makes you feel great!15

I'm just feeling good today!24

When I went to pick up my mom for lunch today the first thing she said was "you've lost a lot of weight!" I said thank you and that it was only 2 to 3 pounds since I last saw her and she said "no it looks like a lot more than that!" I have a long way to go but it felt great to have her notice! 🙂18

Realized today my arms are now hanging, once again, next to my sides and touching my sides! When I had put on weight during the last year, they kinda stuck out ..like, fat under my arms or from my back made them stick out away from my middle when relaxed. Now..they're back to hanging down where they should be

Today is the first day in a long time I walked more than 30,000 steps22

Not eating any fast food today. It's a huge victory, especially for me, on the weekends to stay away from ff. I've lost 67 lbs since October now. Just have to keep on making the right decisions every day.22

Looking leaner and seeing my abs come in and more definition in my arms.12

I taught the young dog to catch a rigid disc. Look, it's going to lead to human component playing more disc, too, since another dog is now all in. That's fitness related.13 -
I went out in public like this today and felt... perfectly fine and not self-conscious at all. Never thought I'd ever, ever, see the day that happened.

I walked 1.49 miles today. Furthest I've gone all year.
