Here's a thread for us to share all of those achievements that have nothing to do with the number on the scale.

Feel free to post goals that were met, new clothing sizes, progress pics, or anything else that you want to celebrate!

    I didn't feel crappy getting dressed this morning. : )
    Also, I moved to heavier weights in most of my 21 Day Fix workout moves.

    Yesterday, I went to a Body Works class at my gym! It's been about 6 months since I participated in that class! I STILL ONLY had to modify a couple move plus keep up with 90%. The beginning, I was kind of loss since it was kick cardio, lol :(

    My posh work trousers need a belt! My posh work trousers need a belt! My posh work trousers need a belt!
    I may be a little over exited but these were hanging in my word robe for years waiting for me to lose some weight and now they are loose

    My jeans fit loose even after being freshly washed! I also have a pair of jeans I bought two years ago, that were going to be my "get into jeans", which I never got into. But I can actually put them on now and zip them up. I think I need to lose about 5 more pounds for them to actually look good enough to wear. Another victory is I am riding the exercise bike at level 3 now instead of 1.

    Such great results, everyone!

    I am beginning to feel my rib cage. I thought perhaps I had discovered a lump on my side just under my armpit in the shower, and then realized it was on both sides. It was somewhat disconcerting. I guess I have had fat padding there for so long I forgot what the rib cage felt like.

    So yesterday I was finally able to string 2 chin-ups together :)
    I was working on this for a while, doing single chin-ups multiple times a day for over 50 days.... I was getting a bit frustrated because I felt like I wasn't making progress. I dropped the 50 daily push-ups I was doing so I have more dedication towards the chin-ups. In my frustration, I reached out to my husband who witnessed my struggle... He said doing a set is harder because you start from a dead hang on the second chin-up. And like that I had a big realization: doing chin-ups while my tippy toes reach the floor = not really a chin-up :(
    So I started doing singles again but this time I made sure no part of the floor was supporting me... And bam: yesterday I did 2 together ... About 4 times :) because it's so much fun now; hard but oh so rewarding

    @nicolejo143 Congrats on the marathon! I'm sure it took a lot of hard work to get there!

    @dhygirl Awesome NSV! I love it when I can see the changes instead of just seeing a number on the scale move.

    Hopefully I can do this picture thing without it being super huge. Earlier this week at work I realized my belt was a little loose and I had to tighten it
