wanna share your latest YAY from your journey?

Have lost around 16 pounds but until now I haven't been able to go down a pants size. Was given a hand me down pair of capris (brand new, person too lazy to return lol yay for me!) 1 size smaller than I normally wear. I exercised twice last week (I think) but that's all I have done in the last 3 weeks (I am embarrassed about that) and I thought 'okay, I will try them on. No way in the world these will fit, nothing else this size has...' but they totally fit! I don't understand it and I'm not sure I really want to I just want it to keep happening!

My 9 year old son hugged me this morning and said "wow mom - you are small and sturdy". . I've never been called those 2 words - I guess dieting and working out is doing the trick.

When I was out delivering catalogues today I had to roll the cuffs of my jeans up because they were dragging on the floor when I walked because they were loose on the hips. These are a pair I couldn't even fit into about 3-4 months ago!!

I was watching TV the other night in shorts and had my feet up on the coffee table (knees bent, but touching each other) and I saw the TV through a gap in my thighs! Never has that happened before! Also, I am only 10 pounds or so away from my goal and I started last November.

Today was my 6th week of going to bar class everyday. Today the instructor told the new girl in class to stand next to me and watch what I'm doing during class. I've not felt so proud of myself in a LONG TIME!

I just hit the 160 mark which now means i'm 40 pounds down since Jan, I havn't been at this weight since I got pregnant with my first in Jan 2010! Also new this week I fit in a size 12:happy:

Past the half-way mark towards my first goal yesterday. I switched my ticker to "Weight Left" from "Weight Loss" now that the number is smaller! More motivation to make that number get smaller than to see the Weight Lost number increase for some reason.

I saw a friend at Costco the other day that I don't think I have seen since I graduated high school (almost 5 years now). He could not stop telling me how great I looked and asking what I was doing, what I ate, etc. It was really sweet and made me feel awesome.

I've gone from a 3X shirt to a XL, from a 24 jeans to a 16, I am 0.4 pounds away from hitting 55 pounds, I can take my kids for a walk and not feel exhausted, and I have so much more energy. Not to mention, I wore shorts for the first time without feeling horrible. People have been noticing my loss and complimenting me on it, and I just all around feel so much better!

Getting on the scale, seeing a 4 pound gain, and not getting upset.

1: Swollen ankles.
2: Skimped on water this weekend.
3: Salty foods this weekend.
4: Knowing my food choices were fine.

Normally I'd be beating myself up and wanting to throw in the towel. This week? I'll just be keepin' on.

I stepped on the scale today after taking the weekend off and got down to my biggest milestone the 150 mark!!!!! Its not my goal but I made it this far I'm no longer considered overweight! I'm normal range now by all medical accounts! WOOHOO!!!!!

My biggest success is that I lost 10 pounds when I weighed today.

I am now in size 10 slacks and fitting in my blouses that was too tight and showed my abdomen.
I bought a new blouse 2 weeks ago, but my belly showed through it.
But I bought it anyway, tried it on this morning, no Bellly Showing.

I can now fit in all of my jeans comfortably and can zip them up, without sucking in.
I have one more pound to go and my Bmi is at normal level, FINALLY

I have lost 1.5 inches off my waist and 1 inch off my hips. I am really pleased today.

My latest YAY moments...playing Sardines (like hide and seek) at the park with my kids last week, had to RUN to hide as they counted to 30 very quickly! Then at the weekend we went to a theme park where I PEDALLED a Go-Kart around all the laps without collapsing and also pedalled a Swan shaped boat around a lake twice, quite hard but I did it!

Today I shocked myself even more, I went to my first Aquafit class (water aerobics) for an hour work out then stayed in the pool and swam for another whole hour!! FIrst time I ever spent TWO HOURS in a pool, amazing!

So excited about all this energy emerging, I have been looking for it for years!!

P.S. Actually starting to enjoy life again and feeling much more like a younger person again.

My biggest success thus far is my size 16's are getting loose on me I spent all day yesterday pulling up my pants :ohwell:

I posted this the other day about my 16's but guess what I got my 14's on today and they are a little tight But man does it feel great to know I am back down to them and cant wait to get down another size or so!!

This past weekend I put on my jeans & realized they are getting too big, the kicker? When I started this journey in Feb, they didn't fit me at all, they were at least a size too small. I couldn't get them done up. Now I will be lucky if I can get the summer out of them! :laugh:

I have had a couple lately.
First, after only losing 5 pounds, I thought I haven't lost any inches because I measured my belly and there was no difference. Later, I was updating measurements I found from my biggest. I realized that I didn't lose on my belly but I have lost about half an inch on unexpected places: my neck, forearms, calves and hips.

Second is today I put on an outfit I haven't wore in a while. I noticed that my belly isn't as pudgy as I last remember it in this outfit. It boosted my spirit quite I bit!

This weekend I was over visiting a friend, sitting on her couch talking, when I all of a sudden realized I had my legs crossed. At the knee!!! Really, One knee over the other! I can't remember the last time I could do that ... it's been years! I lost 57 lbs last year, but have been stalled for about the past 4 months. But recently I have been seeing that I've lost a few more inches even if the scale hasn't moved. Must be why my knees all of a sudden fit together. I've still got a ways to go to get to my goal, but that was definitely a "yay" moment for me!

One of my favorite skirts is half falling off me at work today.

Oh! And one of my coworkers told me she could tell I was losing weight. The first time someone has commented. Yay!

MCAB0011

I've lost 5 pounds in my first week of excerising and eating right, and I can tell I'm getting stronger and faster. Hopefully, I'll be able to keep this up

ExtraAwesome

Fitting back into my size 10 (australian) pants. I'd almost given up on wearing them after a silly shopping spree but they finally fit. And only really a month into my recontinued journey so can't wait to see what happens next.

BlitzClipz

I finally saw the 140s on the scale yesterday for the first time since I gained 20 pounds a year ago!!! I'm 5 -8 pounds away from my pre-weight gain weight, and 15-20 pounds from my goal

Everyone's NSV AND SV are awesome!
Today- I know it's silly, but some days I like to play Dance Dance Revolution to exercise (I play heavy mode, trust me... it's a crazy workout if you do it right),. Well, today I finished a song that normally leaves me panting and needing a break.... but TODAY I ended up getting through the whole song and was ready to do it again, no problem! Woo hoo!!

Ah thats the best feeling isn't it. Which song was it? I've been working on Hot Limit from the 5th mix but still can't get past standard on my home mat. I envy you playing heavy. I'm only just starting to get into it and my feet can't seem to keep up.

Breaking the 170's! even when the scale read 169.5...i was just so excited! 20 more to go, or 19.5!

A week or so ago, I folded up a pair of jeans to be taken to the thrift store. I remember buying them a year or so ago and exulting because they were my new "skinny" jeans. They are/were a 42" Waist. I was happy when I bought them because I'd just come down from a 46" Waist. I'm sitting at my desk, typing this, wearing a 38" Waist (yesterday I wore some 36's. Feels good to be making progress.

This is a great post - yay to celebrating the yay moments!

In February I started working out with a trainer - this week I hit my 6 month weight loss goal 2 months early.
