NSV
Well despite having a gain in weight while away in AFrica to get married, I did have a NSV while there. I got on the plane and I didn't have to ask for a seat belt extension!! It was great. The arms weren't digging into my legs (I used to be bruised afterwards!). The table tray was able to come all the way down and slide…

Today I reached my first goal....20 pounds GONE!
Many moons ago my wife was doing Weight Watchers and I decided to do it with her and just didn't go to meetings or any of that stuff. I lost 20 pounds and it was absolutely miserable. I was eating crap I didn't like and always felt hungry and once I hit 20 pounds my points dropped again and I just said "forget it". That…

Made It To One-derland!!!
This morning I weighed in and the scale said 199.8!!! So far, seven months of paying attention to what I put in my mouth, (less carbs, more protein for me) and at least 30 minutes of exercise a day (I found a love for running! Unimaginable!!)has helped me to lose 32 pounds! Getting back up and dusting myself off when I…

A NSV to start my morning :-)
So, this morning when I was trying to pick out what to wear, I saw this shirt set hanging in the back of my closet that I've been ignoring for a while. It's a cute white, long-sleeved with one of those jersey vests that goes over it that are really popular right now. My bf's stepmother bought them for me for Christmas, and…

I am not only wearing a dress to work....but I am wearing size C tights (that are pulled up to my bra)....usually the size letter is much further down the alphabet and they would…

So far I've lost 15lbs in 15 weeks. I still have about another 10 to go, but I think I'm finally starting to see a difference. The last few pounds…

Big NSV for me
NSV! After trying to run my first 5k on Saturday, and mind you we ran most of it ~ actually 2.4 miles of it to be exact, I really wanted to say I could do the whole thing. Well tonight I did! Without stopping! Super excited and soooo motivated to do more. Even researching local races to see what is out there. Big bucket…

Day 3 and a NSV for me =)
We are having mid-terms at school today. Hence, too many hours of down time for me as the students only have a half-day and I'm completely caught up on lesson plans. Thus, the boredom set in after I proctored 2 exams this morning and that was 6 hours ago. Ever since then I have had a box of Choco-Pies (chocolate,…

Running Success
Hi All! I hadn't run since high school, so the thought of starting to run again was terrifying, if not unappealing...but I really wanted to do it! I started with the couch to 5K program, completed it, and ran my 1st 5K in November 2010! After taking a brief "winter break" from running, I was ready to get back into it…

A small victory
I've been using MFP for the past month, and have been studious for about a month previous to watch what I eat and to get exercise. Saturday I got to wear a shirt that I really like and it was just a bit loose. So that felt good. I've lost 10% of the weight I need to lose. So - maybe in 18 more months I'll to where I should…

Today working out I did 175+ pushups in an hour and close to 100 pull ups. I havent lost more than about 2-3 lbs in the last 5 weeks but my muscle mass is shooting through the roof, but have lost about 4% body fat in that time. Im at the lowest body fat Ive been in well over two years. A few more months and I feel ill be…

My favorite NSV so far.
Bought a pair of size 9 jeans this weekend, thinking they wouldn't really be comfortable for another few weeks. But I'm wearing them today. :D I don't have an actual memory of ever being a size 9--ever. The lowest has been a size 11, at the age of 11 and then again from 17-19. Woohoo. (:

Kinda lame but
today after I had already gone on the elliptical and did weights, I was going to leave, then noticed there wasn't anyone on the treadmills...so I decided to give it a try. I usually stay away from these and I've never been a runner. Today, I finally did some running! I started off walking, then ran, then did some fast…

Yay! Finally a NSV moment!
Last friday went out to eat with my daughter, we were seated in a booth and it was NOT a tight fit! In fact I had quiet a bit of room to move! This is one of my favorite restaurants so I have been here a lot of times before so was not my first time to sit in one of their booths! I actually prefer booths but before I…
