Share a triumph!

I grabbed a pair of tights today, and just pulled them up. No struggling to get them over my hips, no pulling in the "rise". Trust me, this is big.

Pizza at work today. Couldn't resist so I grabbed a slice. Had one bite and realized I didn't really want it. All I wanted was the toppings so I scraped them off and threw the rest in the trash. I know it's a small victory but a victory non the less.

Might be small,,,,, but TASTY! :) The bread is just the conduit.

Lost 24 pounds, got off of all prescriptions (for anxiety/panic attacks), quit smoking, graduated from college (finally), and fit into jeans I haven't worn in about 5 years :) And all in the last 5 months!

Ha, thanks! But after effing off for the last 14 years I am pretty sure I am barely breaking even at best. It still feels pretty damn good though ;)

Love waking up and thinking, "Which of my pants that fit me (again) do I want to wear today, and what belt should I use because of course I'll be tucking in my shirt?" I'm four months in, looking and feeling better and better little by little. I'm no longer on the "inflexible metabolism/accelerated aging" train that's been proposed as an alternative term for metabolic syndrome, which is the real win here.

It's so encouraging to read you all and so inspiring.
Thanks !

My pants keep getting looser and looser too and I can finally sleep a whole night now.
I ordered belts online and when they arrived I had to return them and change for smaller ones.
I can manage to deny breakfast's croissants when we spent a night elsewhere and just skip the meal sometimes.
No more migraines or joint paint...
We're 4 eating Primal at work and everyday at lunch, it's often about Primal/paleo at the cafeteria. Other colleagues are eyeing our plates to see what we have "it smells/looks so good".

New Facebook profile picture from a recent vacation. One of the comments: "You're so skinny!"

Today at the gym I deadlifted 40kg - thats 4/5 of my bodyweight. Chuffed!
