NSV - with pics
I have been swimming in my size 18 and 18W pants but too afraid to try a 16. This morning i pulled out a pair of shorts i have not worn in over 4 years (prior to kids and pregnancy). They were size 16, not only did they fit, they were a little loose. I went to the mall today and decided to try a lee jean size 14......…

Very first ever NSV!!
Okay so it may not be much but...I was able to walk over 3 miles today on a nature trail near where I live without stopping or getting short of breath. In fact, I was able to talk to my trainer throughout the ENTIRE walk!! A month ago I'd have barely been able to walk one whole mile, and I would've had to stop halfway on…

I've Run 100 Miles!!!
Today I ran my 100th mile! It was supposed to be my day off, but I just couldn't wait to reach this goal so I just ran one mile in 11 minutes! I started walk/jogging in Sept 2010 and started running Jan 2011 and logged 100 miles in three months. Not bad for a pear-shaped, 40 year old mom of two who had never really ran for…

sitting here as proud as a peacock
Oh I am a proud one today! This may not seem much to you runners out there, but for someone just getting started again, it's alot! I have been getting more and more inspired to start running. I gotta tell ya, I do not like running, and running does not like me. I always joke, "I don't run, unless something is chasing me!"…

My NSV
I pulled my jeans out of the dryer yesterday, and could put them on and do them up without any stretching, grunting, or uncomfortableness. These jeans, (which didn't even fit me when I started this journey) went on without complaint. Now they don't fit perfectly yet, but I am pretty pleased.

35 pounds down pics
Finally feeling like the difference is noticeable. My highest weight was 196, first picture here was when I had lost 5 pounds. I lost 5 more then fell off the wagon over the holidays and gained back 3. Then February came and something clicked and made me see I had to change my life. Found this site and I am taking care of…

NSV today!
I went to Red Robin today with my family for lunch. I went with the grilled teriyaki chicken sandwich but took off the mayo and cheese. Just calculated the calories on their website and the calories dropped from 898 calories down to 413 calories! I couldn't believe the difference those two items made!

If I can do it, ANYONE can do it .............
I love my two adorable little nieces. After having a huge revelation that I was terribly fat and out of shape over Christmas 2009 when I discovered that I could barely play with adn enjoy the cuties, I resolved to get off my fat *kitten* and get my body back into shape. My initial weigh-in was 305 lbs, which was very…

2 NSV's by 9:00am!!!
Well, today I went to get dressed and my size 18 jeans were falling off me so bad they looked terrible even cinched with a belt, so I grabbed another pair of jeans from the back of the closet and THEY DID UP. I looked afterwards and they are missy 12's!!! I can even sit in them:laugh: Then when I was standing at the copier…

Conquering pushups! One.. pushup at a time..?
Okay so I was doing the hundredpushups.com program which I think is GREAT.. BUT.. I have an AF PT test coming up soon, and I would like to be able to max out my pushups to receive as many points as I can from that category (that would be 47 pushups). So, I decided to start doing three sets of max pushups (until muscle…

I did the unthinkable!
So a big NSV for me today. DH and I went to Chili's for lunch because we got a giftcard from our class last night.. and man oh man did I want something greasy and tasty. When we used to go to Chili's before we stopped eating out so much, I would pretty much get whatever I wanted and we would split an order of Texas Cheese…

Feeling sexy..do you?
Ok guys, since i started this journey, starting weight was 140llbs, and being only 5 foot tall i felt horrible, ugly, and had no confidence. I used to have sex with the light off and had to breath in all the time, never wore short tops always hid my *kitten* and hated looking in the mirror. I am not 8llbs from my target…

great to be self aware
Most people consider me skinny already, but I've never been completely satisfied with my body so I decided to try and make small changes that would help me attain my goal look. Anyway, I've only lost 2 lbs so far (really only aiming for ~7), but the best thing about the experience for me has been the nutritional…

I just needed to remind myself of how far I've come...
I've been stuck on a stupid plateau for about 2 weeks now, so before I throw my scale and my new healthy lifestyle out of the window...I decided to remind myself of how far I've come. I had lost about 40 lbs before I joined MFP and met you fine people and it has helped me get off my former plateau and lose about 12 more…

I have…

HUGE personal NSV
Ah! I had such a great surprise from myself today :) I had a dress from last spring that I ended up never wearing. Still had the tags on and everything. I suddenly realized I was going to need a nice dress to wear at Easter and thought of that one....not even close. How depressing.... So I made a new small goal for myself…

XL NSV
I went into the local Menswear store today to buy some polypropylene tops so I can carry on walking thru winter. The store owner looks me up & down and announces "XL". The last time I bought tops, they were 3XL! Very happy.:smile:

I took the pictures down because people were making rude comments about them where I had them posted. I will find somewhere else to post them that you can make your profile private if you want to. stupid snobbish photographers!

Airplanes
I'm a frequent flyer for my job. I've noticed over the past few years, as I've gained weight, that the seats were getting narrower and the seatbelts shorter. Yesterday, I noticed the seats have gotten wider and the seatbelt longer. After buckling up, I had a fairly substantial tail left on the seatbelt. I almost showed it…
