My blood pressure had been slowly creeping up. Not enough to need medicine but higher than normal. Now it is normal. I am sure it is because of weight loss

Ten weeks ago, I walked 10 minutes. Afterwards, I was huffing and puffing and felt ready to collapse. This afternoon, I walked for one hour for the first time. Breathing was normal when I finished and my legs still felt great. I'm getting fitter. 48

It’s an amazing feeling isn’t it?Ten weeks ago, I walked 10 minutes. Afterwards, I was huffing and puffing and felt ready to collapse. This afternoon, I walked for one hour for the first time. Breathing was normal when I finished and my legs still felt great. I'm getting fitter.

The hikes and climbing were with my family, which I absolutely love—I never would have gotten to see these waterfalls and swimming holes as a child, bc my parents wouldn’t have been able to hike that far/that strenuous of terrain.
I started running one of the hiking trails and went from getting lost and not finishing, to a 16:33 min/mile over 4.6 miles to 15:22 min/mile (including all the walking up/down slippery parts, stopping at overlooks, and taking pictures). I absolutely love trail running—makes me feel like a kid. I’ll have to search out some trail at home in the flatlands now! I’m also seriously considering helping coach my son’s cross country team, which I never would have thought I could do.
Usually vacation means all the food and alcohol, but this time I felt fine I indulging when we ate out but being more moderate the rest of the time (instead of indulging at every meal because…vacation!). I actually lost a little over a pound, which is not usually my post vacation situation!

Your super fit and beautiful and inspiring, sounds like you had a great time and lots of working out along the trails sounds beautiful and fun. Keep up the great work 8 -

That's an incredible improvement! Such a short time frame too7 -
I fit into a size 12 Black BCBG dress that's been hanging in my closet for years. I can also put on and zip up my birthday jacket in a size large and zip it up, I can button all 3 buttons on a winter coat I've had for years and never been able to button up. Happy dance.
The last time I wore a dress I was a size 18 still had 3 hanging in my closet, now I have to figure what to do with them. 22 -
Went for a walk, 100 degrees by the humidex, was planning for the 4km 'flat' walk and the feet decided to take the hill walk instead!!16

Between asthma and being overweight, stairs are my natural enemy. There is a bridge nearby that stands approximately 150 feet above the river below. There is a stunning stairway/path down to the river and Lake Michigan. Super easy to get down, 270+ steps back up. I've wanted to tackle it for the last few years and finally made it to whole way without an attack! In fact, I had energy to spare when I made it back to the car. It was the most perfect victory. Enjoy these views!

Y'all.
My boobs have shrunk sufficiently that not only can I find my size in every department store ever - I AM WEARING A CAMI with a SHELF BRA and it is sufficiently supportive.

When i got out of the shower this morning I noticed the towel fit a little better

Gorgeous! Congrats on getting to it!3

My pants weren't staying up. I lost 10# and dropped 1 size! I am super motivated!24

Lost 200+ lbs, got all new clothing, then a lockdown happened. By March of this year, I was back at 300 lbs. I had to fix a bad habit of not eating healthy just because I wasn't going to the gym (NSV 1) and now I'm close enough to where I was that I can fit into my newer clothing again (NSV 2).27

Noticing how much my legs are changing this morning. I have lost about 35lbs so far. That's about 11% total, but 4% in last month.20

Today at the lap pool I was FINALLY able to hop out of the pool without using the ladder or the steps. Made me SO happy that I did it TWICE just to make sure it wasn't a fluke!! Once before my laps, and once after---and I did it on my first try BOTH times!!! Happy Dance!!!
See, when I was a kid, we had a pool, and I used to hop in and out of that thing like a little jumping bean. So, it has bugged me no end that I couldn't do it anymore. Made me feel old and weak no matter how many laps I swam. But now I CAN do it!!!! Which means my second childhood is now official.

I accidently brought a medium work shirt instead of a large. I was able to wear it through my shift (though it was a little tight). A year ago I was a XXXL.
It was a great NSV and sets up goal (to make it not tight)30 -
I almost fell off my bike because my leggings are getting looser and the seat of them got caught on the bike seat while pedaling16

I took my wedding band off a year ago because it was cutting off circulation to my finger
Now it's back on and comfortable! 25 -
Standing up on my stationary bike for the first time for 5x15 second intervals of 78 resistance at around 60 cadence, 530 wattage. Brutal. The class crushed me. Such a good feeling.14

I put on a pair of (admittedly loose fitted) size 8 slacks this morning which then promptly fell off! When I started this journey I was a size 16. Time to buy some new clothes!31

Last night, when I put my hands on my hips - they just sort of slid down. And then I realized that my sides have lost fat. Didn't see that coming.23

being a big busted beauty myself, I can relate. Isn't it wonderful wearing a smaller bra!12 -
Got fed up with waiting for my kids this morning, and went out and spent twenty minutes weeding my monsoon-jungle yard. I didn't get done, but I *did* weed for the first time in years, and at least now my neighbors can see that I'm trying.
TL;DR I weeded and i didn't die!21 -
Weeding is a pain, so kudos to you!!4

I have a few:
1. The guy at the running shoe store filmed me running from behind so he could check my gait. I was wearing shorts, and I didn't hate the way I looked in the video. Related NSV--I was IN a RUNNINGSTORE buying real running shoes!
2. My medium size underwear is starting to feel saggy, so today I bought a pack of smalls. I haven't tried them on yet because I still can't believe I would actually need that size, but at least I bought them!
3. My body is starting to crave healthier food. Today after my workout, I was absolutely CRAVING a Chik-fil-A side salad and fruit cup. It wasn't until I was enjoying my snack that it occurred to me that I never even thought about getting waffle fries. I don't think that's ever happened before!
4. The size 8 skinny pants I bought LAST WEEK are already loose in the waist. Fortunately they still fit in the thighs well enough that I should be able to keep wearing them with a belt, but they definitely won't last the Winter. Good thing they were on sale!

Very few people have noticed the 50lbs that are missing, but today, I wore a shirt that I had put in the back of my closet because it was getting a little snug around the mid section. One of my co-workers said I looked homeless because my clothes are baggy and my pants look like they are falling off. I've put off buying new clothes, but maybe it's time?28
