My Story with an NSV
I'm posting this more to get it out in the open and to make myself feel good. I've been off for a few days with everything and I felt like I threw everything off. I'm 21, I'll be 22 May 18. Ever since at least 8th grade I can remember being bigger, no huge, but I wasn't as little as other girls my age or size. In high…

My first NSV!!!
Last year I had my fourth child. A few weeks after giving birth, I weighed 243 lbs and did not recognize myself- last summer's clothes were all purchased at a plus sized store and I just wanted to cry... Fast forward to today- it's hot here so I put on my khakis- they are HUGE! I can pull them off and on without…

Small but Huge NSV - Avoided the coke!
Okay.. this may not seem like the most exciting victory to some, but for a recovering coke-aholic.. this was HUGE!! I was sitting at my desk, my food diary completed and it looked great, under my calories, under my SODIUM!! and way under my sugar... so I thought to myself (just for the slightest moment) I should get a coke…

Latest small NSV
I've been feeling kinda bummed that, although the scales say I've lost about 20 lbs, I don't notice much reduction in the size of my belly. Then, yesterday, I noticed that my favorite jacket is starting to feel quite loose! A few months back, the jacket was starting get a bit "snug" (think wetsuit) when I zipped it up -…

20kg down (44lbs)
I wen't to visit the doctor last year in July and that made me aware of my actual weight. It was an astounding 100kg (220lbs). He also told me I was 183cm long and 24 years old (no surprise there tough). 100kg was some kind of psychological limit for me. I realized I was fat. I decided I had to do something about it. I…

NSV I never expected
I have been really sick since Sunday. I called in sick yesterday and am still feeling quite under the weather today. But I can't stand that I haven't worked out since Saturday. Me - anxious to work out? ME!! A couple of months ago I could barely drag myself to exercise and now I feel like doing it even though I am sick!…

NSV (first)
I just threw out a chocolate cake that I made for easter my mother gave back to me. I told her to keep it (she is a size 5 literally) but she gave it back. So instead of eating it I tossed it. CHOCOLATE CAKE BE GONE FROM HERE!

First NSV
Chatting with a co-worker today and she stops and says "You're getting skinny..." I have NEVER been called skinny in my life! I've not lost that much weight, but have been working out and must be firming up, more than I can see. That def motivated me to hit the gym tonight! :bigsmile:

First Week and 4lbs down!!!
YESYESYESYES!!! Finally some results that I can see on the scale!!!!!! 2 months of working out for at least 5 days a week toned my body and got it acclimated to the changes I have been making, but I wasn't seeing any results on the scale. I could see a little difference in my jeans, but it wasn't a lot and it wasn't enough…

50 down (pics)
Okay, so this is my first time posting on MFP. I started my journey at 294 pounds back in October. I've lost 50 pounds but I struggle to see a difference in myself (maybe it's because I see myself every day?). The first pic is from July of last year around my heaviest weight and the last pic is from this month, 49 pounds…

Well I just took my kids to school and their teacher walks in and says " So, how much weight have you lost? You are looking really skinny. " Oh how I love that woman !!!! Thank you Mrs. W , I needed…

20lbs gone in just over 3 months!!
Hello MFP! I've lost 20lbs in 106 days just by changing my diet and light exercise. I wasn't that big to begin with but I was definitely overweight!! I still would like to lose 5 more lbs but when I set out on this journey my goal was 140lbs. I'm happy to say I've reached that goal, as well as being in a size 2/4! Here is…

My first NSV
I have to toot my own horn here -- bear with me! :blushing: I just finished the 2-mile "Walk Away the Pounds" workout! That's a HUGE deal because I haven't even *looked* at that DVD (or any other exercise DVD!) for at least five years. Must admit I shed a little tear when the presenter said we'd finished! So proud of me…

NSV and Chocolate Cake :-)
I didn't give in! This might sound like an extremely small NSV, but for me it's kind of an exciting thing. I work at a school and there are birthday parties all the time. Teachers always get a piece of cake and I always eat it then feel frustrated with myself for doing so. Today, I said no. And left it there. When I got…

TELLING MY STORY...*Because I know someone needs it*
So I thought that this would be an awesome place to share my story and hopefully inspire someone who may need it today!

I was an…

NSV -30 minute run
On Feb 1, I started attending a local boot camp and could not make it around the park (.3 miles) without stopping halfway to walk. Last night I ran 2.4 miles in 29.32 minutes without stopping. I still can't believe it! I am quite a happy camper :)
