I wear heels occasionally after losing weight, despite my doctors orders. I actually wore them a lot more before I lost, which resulted in an old knee injury flaring up hahaha. Now I wear them and think "screw you Quong" despite the fact that he was just trying to prevent my knee from dislocating :D I think back to the…

I've been trying to figure out where the 40lbs I've lost since February have gone from since I havent gone down in pant size. After kneeling on a hardwood floor for a couple minutes I've realised it all came from my knees. Ow :D

This morning I finally made it into onederland!! I would've been there sooner but I decided to enjoy a summer with friends and not worry too much about what I was eating hahaha. I also squeezed both of my thunder thighs into one leg in an old pair of size 22 pants :D :D

Thank you! It almost killed me to not be able to exercise for 3 weeks hahaha. Not being able to breathe even while walking will do that to you tho :#

Updaaaaate: I crashed my bike about a month ago and managed to screw myself up pretty good. Nothing like a couple cracked ribs, a concussion, and some serious bruising to knock you off the exercise wagon! Thank god for the helmet that saved me from becoming a vegetable. I've managed to lose a little despite it all (down to…

That your birthmarks might shift. I've had a birthmark in the centre of my elbow my whole life. It's now moved significantly to the left :D

Oh my god. I've found myself actually observing skinny people going "oh! Those weird wrinkly neck rolls when I twist my head aren't from fat, that's just normal!" (Thanks taylor swift for confirming that one for me). Having been overweight my whole life I dont know what's "normal" and what's a result of massive weight…

Just caught a reflection of my legs and thought they belonged to someone else... I have thin-ish (but still muscular) legs! As the lifetime owner of some serious thunder thighs this is a big NSV for me :)

Oh god. My friends stared in horror as a bartender free poured WAY more than the standard amount of liquor into my glass a few weeks ago. They knew they'd have to deal with an intoxicated kalahmarii in a few short minutes :D

I'm very muscular in general (I blame/thank my Russian and Icelandic genes for that) and I've worked throughout this process to make sure that I keep as much muscle mass as possible through regular exercise and lifting. Well! I'm starting to see some muscle definition in my arms where it's never been apparent before! I…

UPDATE YA'LL: I'm down to 216lbs. Not as far as I hoped to be at this point, but hey, s**t happens. And by s**t I mean bread. I've lost quite a few inches around my hips (bye bye bum :'( ) and am down to a 32" waist pant which is cool. Along with that 15lb loss I seem to have gained approximately 127 zits on the face,…

Thanks for all the responses guys! My mom had lost over 100lbs about 10 years ago and I remember her having quite a bit of loose skin. However, 2 kids and being in her late 30's made a difference I'm sure. I suppose only time will tell what my case will be like!

The only thing I've found so far that helps is putting my arm all the way behind my head. Kinda fills it out more I suppose :D

I saw someone comment about their muscular armpits on here awhile back and kinda went "weird, but ok". WELL guess who's now the proud owner of her very own muscular armpits :D

Yes!! I crave so much savoury/salty food, and I never used to, maybe it's all the exercise. Chocolate was my go to, and I now find myself barely wanting it as it just makes me feel gross. Interestingly enough.. if I really want some salt, I'll just have an olive or two straight from the jar :D better than a bag of chips I…

I've totally told her that most of it is food, but I think she sees exercise as easier than counting calories :/ and she asked me to make sure she goes running. I dont think that's going to happen though. Hopefully she realizes how simple it all is! Congrats on your loss!

I totally get this! My best friend has been a lot more withdrawn lately and very catty towards me. She admits that she'd like to lose ~70lbs and that she wants to go running with me. I started texting her when I went out for runs but there was always a new excuse. Idk how to solve it or if it's even possible at this point…

I gave myself permission this weekend to not log anything and to eat (and drink) whatever I wanted at a beerfest in Alaska. I mentally prepared myself to gain a couple pounds and I was totally ok with that! Instead, I ate until I was full (it still wasn't exactly healthy food) and lost 1/2 a pound by the end of the…

I want to stop getting the "you're doing great!"'s when I'm out running. Not because I dont like them - in fact, I appreciate when people recognize how hard I'm working - but because I want to look like someone who doesn't need the extra encouragement :D if that makes sense.. hahaha

I went for my first run in a week and a half today, and it went great! I deliberately took time off from running and filled it with other activities (walking, mtn biking, etc.) because running was starting to feel way more difficult than it had. Rather than push myself and end up with an injury, I listened to my body and…

I cant really say that no one told me this, I just didn't believe it would happen to me for some reason :D Oh my god. People are not joking when they say your body starts to look worse before it looks better. I look like a lumpy sack of potatoes right now :p everything is loose and jiggly and just kinda...ew in general.…

Just tried on my high school grad hoodie from 5 years ago... I probably only weigh 10-20lbs less than I did then, but I'm quite a bit smaller than I was. More muscle mass I suppose!

I dont know about anybody else, but I feel like I'm in a fat suit :D I've lost enough weight (60lbs) that I can see and feel where my bones and muscles are (hips, ribs etc.) But I've still got fat covering them and it's so frustrating! When I was at my HW my body was just my body, and while I was clearly obese, I didn't…

Ugh I honestly feel bad for him, he's had a run of horribly manipulative girlfriends ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ still doesn't excuse his behavior tho!!

Hahahaha I hope to keep the story going! So far so good.. another 5 lbs down sitting at 226 :p

I had a terrible day today. Like, feelings I thought were gone bubbled up to the point where I was close to throwing up from the stress. But! I forced myself to go to zumba and said I'd treat myself to a mcdonalds cheeseburger after. Instead, I went home and made myself a healthy dinner. Bonus: the endorphins from my…

I just realized that I can no longer see my stomach when I sit down! It's boobs and then thighs. I didn't even notice my stomach obstructing my view until it wasn't anymore. Funny how that works :tongue:

The Yukon! Hiking, mountain biking, trail running, kayaking... pretty much every outdoor activity you can think of! :D Granted those are all summer-ish activities. Getting outside in the winter at -35C can be challenging sometimes, but if you dress right you can still take advantage of the outdoors :tongue:

Hahaha definitely! I worked hard for that cake, it's all mine :D

Hahaha, well we're all a part of the same friend group, or "squad" if you please, so I have the pleasure of seeing this little idiot every week. And yes, vengeance is a fabulous motivator but it defs can't be your sole motivator! I imagine eventually I'll feel less spiteful and I'll have to have something to fall back on…
