Non-scale victories, extra small size
Not me. I'm still very extra large (it's only been three weeks). But I can fasten my watchband a notch tighter than I could last week!
a nonscale victory
Finally, I fit into this cute, fitted, red blouse & skirt, size small. I've been saving them for the last two years. Almost gave up fitting back into it, but kept at it. I wore it the this weekend. My husband LOVES it!
running
Starting running(walking/jogging/running) about 3 months ago. On Fridays I run a 5k course through my neighborhood. I ran my first under 34 minute 5k, down from 50 minutes plus when I started.

The idea made me really uncomfortable, going somewhere to exercise made me anxious, I was super self-conscious people were going to be looking at me and judging me. I have always been a big person and have had very negative experiences…
Warning this is about sex!!!!
Lately we've (my husband and I) have been getting crazy. Trying new things etc I have more energy and clearly want to get it on all the time now that i've been losing weight. Last night was a lapdance on my husband kinda night Lol. Oh I can't wait for the rest of the weight to fall off!
Challenges
I was toying with the idea of posting challenges (other people could post too!) they could be a daily, weekly, monthly, whatever...you just post what it is in the post.
