Thank you @mrsfitzyv8! You nearly made me cry!! It's only now I'm losing the baggage (along with the lbs) that I realise how much I was carrying! :)

I had a date with a really cute and lovely guy and I didn't feel like I didn't deserve his attention! :)

Way to go! :)

One of my colleagues complimented my dress today (I've worn it before but not for a long time, I guess it is pretty stretchy).

I think they actually roast faster than fresh veg (something to do with how the freezing affects the cell walls maybe?). I tend to toss in a…

I managed all my reps/sets at the gym today. Last time I could do a full set of everything, but struggled to complete three sets consecutively. Today I did it! :) I love how clearly I can measure my progress, it's so motivating!

This thread is so amazing! I joined a gym last week and have gone pretty regularly since then (whenever I was wavering I read a few pages of this!). My lack of upper body strength in particular surprised me at my assessment. One of the exercises I've been given to do every other session is tricep dips from the bench. I…
