Bear Force One Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 As of this morning, I fit back into a pair of my jeans! I started this challenge not being able to wear any of them (which made casual Fridays frustrating), and decided not to just cave in and buy a bigger size. I'm so excited about this! I'm celebrating by wearing my five finger shoes to work with my jeans. I also received a compliment from a co-worker today saying that it looked like I had been working out. Score! I also broke 100 pounds on my deadlift this week (105# for 5 reps). Considering I started with the bar a few weeks ago, I'm pretty pleased 4 Quote "I am the hero of this story.

SLB Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 You should be more than pretty pleased! Great progress and congrats on fitting into your jeans again, it's one of the best feelings in the world for me! Quote Link to comment

Guzzi Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Woot woot! Good on ya. I've lost quite a bit of weight now, and every time I drop a size, I throw the old stuff away. "Won't be needing *that* anymore" That way I don't have any excuses. If I can't fit these jeans, then I either lose the weight or go naked 1 Quote Make Life Rue The Day Turning back the clock Recipe book 14 Life is far too short to take seriously Link to comment

Guest Dirty Deads Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 WTG! I honestly didn't realize this was in the woot room and thought it was about lifting weights while wearing jeans. I have the unfortunate anecdotal evidence that such concepts are a BAD idea. They don't make crotches that strong... Anyways, good for you! Quote Link to comment

Especially squats...*shudder* Thanks guys Now that I can fit into them, they'll be a pretty good metric for size progress. Quote "I am the hero of this story. I don't need to be saved."

Bear Force One Posted March 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 I think I'm just going to keep this as my general woot thread...it's pretty relevant anyway because my biggest goals are lifting heavier things and fitting into my 15 pairs of beautiful jeans that are currently too small for me. Well, actually, make that 14! Technically they're not jeans (a little stretchier), but I got them on this morning! They're pretty tight still, but I haven't worn these things since last year. I also was able to get my one and only pair of khaki's on, but they wouldn't clasp. Still, progress! I couldn't even do that a few weeks ago. On another note, I deadlifted 115# last night! YES! I was also super close to being able to do the splits, which was very exciting. Thanks for all the support guys, it's really helped me stick to my program for so long 2 Quote "I am the hero of this story. I don't need to be saved."

PaulG Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Congratulations! Hahahaha that would indeed be a TERRIBLE idea. Especially squats...*shudder* I have, on three separate occasions, ripped out the crotch of cargo shorts/pants doing barbell squats. I just never learned... last time I ripped my shorts all the way down one leg. On the bright side, the gym was empty, so I just finished my workout. 1 Quote Cowardly Assassin Training Log | Challenges: Current, 8th, 7th, 6th, 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st Link to comment
Bear Force One Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Guys! Guys! Guess what? I'm down 10 pounds! After a month! And when your 5'2", 10 pounds makes a pretty big difference I tried so hard to stick it out to the end of this challenge to weigh in, but I couldn't contain myself. My curiosity got the better of me, and I'm thrilled. Quote "I am the hero of this story. I don't need to be saved."
