Went hiking on Friday and Saturday and averaged 20k steps each day. Then yesterday I went 85 minutes on my gazelle. No pain from any of it so I'm stoked.21

I was doing laundry today, and as I pulled some shirts out of the dryer I was thinking "Whose shirt is this??" Yeah, it is mine. I have been wearing the new $3 tees in a size large for a couple of weeks, but the dryer went out last week, and the hubby fixed it on Sat night. So now I keep looking at the shirts on the hangers like, "no, that is way to small to be mine."23

Congratulations.
I remember doing that same thing with jeans before. Thinking "who do these small jeans belong to?" Thinking they were my sons then realizing they were mine! Can't wait, will soon get back to that again!8 -
Whilst browsing in a shop yesterday their camera TV screen caught my eye.
I had to double take at the woman on the screen that was me.

When I started at the gym again you could see my stomach whenever I did an incline bench exercise. I've lost 23lbs in the last 21 weeks and can no longer see my stomach when doing incline bench exercises! I'm also the strongest I have ever been at 270lb 1rm on the Bench.17

The peoples house, where I went today for Thanksgiving, have a very steep driveway. I've had trouble walking it. Today being 60+ lbs lighter, than when I was there last, it was easy!25

I'm fitting more comfortably into a dress I got myself a few weeks ago 😁15

Since the past couple of weeks I've been doing fasted cardio in the morning!! Me who thinks I'll faint if I don't eat every two hours!! My dinner is done by 7:30-8pm and I walk for 75-80 mins early in the morning without feeling too weak!! I m also trying to adopt "I will eat less" mantra since the past couple of days. So far so good!!✌️✌️🙌💖💓❣️16

Said no to a giant plate of cinnamon rolls my sister brought me without asking if I wanted any. Just.looking at the pile of frosting made my stomach hurt!14

NSV: 3mph! Yeah, I realize everybody else has probably been going this speed forever. But I have been going 2mph for over 2 decades. I literally had to google "how to walk fast". I kept trying to make my stride longer, and I was injuring my hips in the process *doh*. I learned, super short strides = faster person. Now, I am so fast! I can keep up with the hubby! I can keep up with the dog!! Everything is so much easier now!!! Walking did not come with a manual, but if it did I definitely would recommend it.26

Yesterday my 3 year old and I were at the neighborhood playground. There was a big family with lots of kids (brothers, sisters, cousins). They all had to leave just as my daughter was having fun with them. She sat there at the top of the slide and said "Everyone has to leave. I guess I have to play by myself." Being an only child myself, I felt for her. I said "Let's have some fun!" I climbed up the ladder, crawled through the tube, and slid down the slide (fell on my bottom the first time lol). I relish these moments because it's the main reason I've lost weight and hope to keep it off.31

I had a look around the charity shops yesterday for a winter coat as I'm not spending any more money on clothes until I'm in maintenance.
The ones I liked were all too big.
This is a new problem - I liked it - even though I'm cold 😄

I stopped using MFP for a while because I needed a break from tracking every single thing I ate and every single bit of movement. Did I gain weight? Yes. Does it matter? Not really.
During that time off I was able to set some goals for myself that have nothing to do with numbers. Not calories in/out. Not the scale. Not the number on the tag in my pants.
I've been able to remember that I enjoy being active and it doesn't matter how many calories what I'm doing burns. It doesn't matter if I do it for five minutes or an hour. What matters is that I like doing it! The mental and emotional benefits of being active FAR outweigh how many calories it burns!
I'm back on MFP because I truly miss the community and I feel ready to gently make some changes. This is my favorite group and I always feel so encouraged when I read all the posts.
I've had a similar experience. I'm in maintenance (in theory at least), but have been mostly away from mfp since the summer. I've been working out really regularly, but I've also gained weight fairly steadily. Like you, my focus is on activity at present, but I do want to try not to gain my way back out of normal bmi, so I'm back here and logging to lose a couple of kg. For me that's the nsv: realising what I want my limits to be, and really taking maintenance seriously. I'm trying to make my "do something about this" weight 79kg instead of 88kg (which for me according to bmi is borderline obese). I know the issues with bmi, especially as I gain muscle, but I'm hoping this approach might work for me.12 -
After church today, we went to Perkins for brunch, and as we were waiting in the lobby for a table, a couple sitting next to us began to chat with us. The wife asked if I happened to have a sister named Gina. "That's me," I said. She was shocked at my weight loss of almost 80 pounds. Naturally, this conversation made my day!23

On my Elliptical workout, I've noticed I'm not as sweaty as I was when I started. Must be getting in better shape!17

I've been increasing my running volume, in an attempt to improve my performance.
Aside from being able to increase my speed, I ran more than 100km this month, which is definitely a record and allowed me to complete Strava's November running challenge.
Not bad considering I didn't really like running up to a few years ago (completed c25k once but stopped after that).13
