Congrats to the both of ya!
Happy kidney birthdays to you all!! |

Rep Power: 7 | | At work, we wear these completely unflattering dark blue polos. A co-worker today asked me if I had been losing weight  It made me SO happy...I haven't noticed much change at all, but for someone to be able to notice weight loss despite the fact that I'm wearing something that isn't flattering at all is awesome!! |

Amazing job Wishes!!!!!
But I have two things that I just kinda had to brag about that really cheered me up!
1. I went back to a run/walk/biking trail I hadn't visited since the fall. I had ran this trail many different times in my struggles to loose weight and would always go a little over halfway and turn around. I would always take a few walking breaks between the run too. This time when I went back.... I jogged the whole trail! there and back! about 6 miles with only stopping once for about 3 minutes. I'm still amazed at the new things I can do.
2. I had a score to settle with "Hollister" the clothing store. About a two months ago I had already lost a significant amount of weight and was really excited that I was fitting into Large sized shirts and even some medium shirts at most of the places I went to (American Eagle, Aeropostale, Gap, Old Navy... etc). Then I went to Hollister and I was pretty angry when I tried on a few XL shirts and they were way too tight. (What is up with their sizes). So I went back recently and was shocked! I could fit into a size 31 shorts comfortably and finally fit into their medium/large shirts! It felt great. TAKE THAT HOLLISTER   |

Rep Power: 7 | | | First 10% gone!
I've hit my first milestone! I started at 360 and weighed in yesterday morning at 324, for a loss of 10% of total body weight! (36 lbs) If I repeat the feat 5 more times, I'll be under 200lbs for the first time since I was very, very young! |

Rep Power: 46 | | Well, I have a few things I'd like to share.
1. I've been keeping on track with my lifestyle change for 3 months. I feel that it is a good start.
2. In that time, I have lost 39 pounds, going from 311 to 272.
3. I've lost 6 inches from my chest, 6.5" from my waist, and 3" off my hips (guess that means I still have a huge butt)
4. My fitness has improved quite a bit. That part is harder to quantify, but I was quite proud of myself yesterday for being able to go up - and down - 300 flights of stairs in an hour, and even better not being totally dead afterwards. I can swim for 45 minutes, walk a 10k in an hour and a half, and lift more weight than I could 3 months ago. It's all good. |
