Nova have you ever thought that you may be gaining some muscle in there somewhere? How do your cloths feel? Muscle weighs much more than fat and although you will have an increase at first in weight with muscle gain it should start to go down after. Just a thought

My clothes feel about the same. It's hard to tell. I don't really have a good pair of diagnostic pants right now. My favorite jeans are fairly loose, but it seems they've always been a little loose. I feel better, physically. More solid. I'm taking the mindset that this is maintenance. I'm eating correctly and exercising, so it's time to stop obsessing about it so much. Or rather, I'm going to work on obsessing about exercise. It's healthier. :)

I'm still here. Been crazy busy lately. I get about 4-5 hours/week in my office to do stuff, and at home, been even busier. Thankfully, I get a whole 3-day weekend to goof off!

Hanging steady around 168, and I'm keeping up with my diet and exercise plan, with a planned cheat meal last night (chocolate fondue, strawberries and SF angel food cake. Yum!).

Some nice NSVs this week. For the very first time since I started losing weight, I had someone comment on my loss when they looked at my driver's license when I bought something. it was the guy at the nutrition/supplement store, so we got into a big discussion about weight loss, lifting, diet and so forth. Then my physical therapist said she thought I had lost weight even from the last time she saw me 4 or 5 weeks ago. I think I'm shifting some weight into muscle and away from fat.

Finally, I ran for 32.5 minutes straight today!!!! I made my first couch-to-5K running goal of running for 30 minutes. now I need to increase my speed so I can get up to 5K in 30 minutes. Right now, I think I'm around 4K. Yay me!

Nova, I am happy you posted in because I was just wondering about you and how you are doing and was about to come bother your thread :-P. It sounds like you are doing really, really great !! I can "hear" it in your "voice" ... something's different for you.

Cheers to you,
Karli

Nova,

Way to go on the running! I have a 5k goal in mind, but all I've done so far is sign up for a class at the Y they're offering for beginning runners. That class doesn't start for another 2 weeks. Have I started a little bit on my own? Nope! I could, and I think I will, but I don't. I suck.

Laugh. That's what I said to another friend yesterday. I said, "I can actually run away from something now if I had to."

I had no idea I was so exhausted. Slept until almost noon today. I think that was about 11 hours. I slept so much, I'm sore. But I feel good.
