Walk/ran 3.68 km.

This is a fun thread! I can walk up and down stairs without pulling myself up holding the side rails. I can get out of the tub much easier. I love taking a bath and had thought I would have to shower because it was getting so hard to get out of the tub. I'm getting VERY close to needing to go shopping in my closet!

I'm a contractor and throughout the years, I worked at various projects for the State. When I'm on a State project, I need a picture ID to get into the buildings where my clients are. The way IDs work here, they keep information in a computer and just reissue a new ID when you leave and then come back. Part of the information they keep is the picture they take.

I've started on another project with the state and yesterday, I went to pick up my ID. The gal that was helping me looked at my picture in the computer, looked at me and very politely asked if I would consider having a new picture taken. I kind of gave her a puzzled puppy look and she said, "Maam, you really don't look like the picture we have on file." She turned her computer screen around so I could see.

The picture on file was from 2008 when I weighed quite a bit more then I do now. I had her take a new picture. She then put the pictures up on her screen side by side so I could see. The difference was astounding.

I'm still grinning about it this morning.

Garnet2727...that's a good one! :)

My NSV is that even though my weight loss is super slow, my clothes are fitting so, so much better...and my left knee has stopped "clicking" when I go up stairs!

mine is ......I bought the prettiest red sleeveless blouse ( sometime ago and it would not go over my big belly and I got to wear it yesterday with a white pencil skirt and red wedge high heels and thought I was the victory secret model ! LOL DREAMING... :cloud9:

I packed all the size 18-20's out of my closet yesterday! I found some cute 16W's and 0x's I forgot I had, some were on the floor. All of them fit! I got those all picked up and laundered. I still need to go get some jeans though. This is tax-free weekend here in Texas so I think I'll go buy some 16W jeans this saturday!

For the last 5 or so years, I've bought walking shoes with velcro closures because I could no longer "reach" to tie my shoes. I bought a new pair of walking shoes today, with laces and I could easily bend over to tie them.

I just realized I can cross my legs again!!

I cleaned out my closet again! Size 16's gone now and even some XL tops too big. I'm going shopping for size 14 misses jeans and L tops!

I weigh 191.8 this morning! At 191 I am no longer obese per the charts...merely "overweight".

Its been 12 years since I was a size 14! I feel so much stronger. I am walking treadmill with incline for 45 minutes/2.42 miles 4-5 days per week!

I feel 10-15 years younger!

Nagazim - Crossing your legs is a big one in my mind. Congratulations!

cincorn - Loved reading your post. Your achievements are my goals. :)

I bought goal jeans this weekend - didn't try them on at the store because I knew they wouldn't fit just yet - but when i tried them on at home, they fit!

I went to a fast food place (don't worry I threw away the bun) after a doctor's appointment the other day and a friend didn't recognise me!!

my size 14 pants from the limited that i squeezed into last year. have a big gap in the waist. I could use a belt, but these pants dont have a belt loop!!!

However I feel stalled, as if my upper body is lagging behind. We shall see at todays weight in!

I can get up off the floor without holding on to something.

i feel as if it is easier to cross my legs now. #winning
