Small NSV: The Holy Grail Pants
I have a pair of capri pants that I bought in high school; they're a size 8 but they have a little stretch to them. I'm currently 24 and haven't worn them in a few years. The last time I tried them on a couple of months ago, I couldn't even button them. I tried them on this past week, just to see, and lo and behold... THEY…

Just Say No
I posted this in the success category for a reason, yet it may cost me my job. I am a full time radio announcer and a student. Though this takes up more time than I care to admit I have one job that requires even more time and dedication... My health. I became frustrated with my weight in August of 2010. When that happened…

Women's clothing comes in the XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, 1X, 2X, etc. The 1X and up are in the Women's section (I guess only real women ever actually get to learn about the…

finally fitting in...
to new pants is great!!!! I had a girlfriend give me some of her old clothes b/c she had lost some weight. Everything she gave me I could wear no problem...except for 4 pair of slacks size 10.

I'm happy, but....

I do a 25 minute Jillian Michaels workout…

2nd Hand NSV!
The healthy choices we make don't just affect us directly. My husband went to his doctor the other day for a checkup, and she would NOT SHUT UP over how great his cholesterol numbers are. Good went up, bad went down. Everything is perfect. And who gets the credit? Me. :happy: The doc was congratulating him on his food…

I have decided that this is it. I am not going to spend my whole life going through this. I am going to stay healthy. Keep count of my calories and…

Heaviest I remember getting (because I eventually just avoided the scale altogether) was 213lbs. I'm currently 138!! I passed my original goal of 140 but I'm not done yet- not until that "jiggle"…
