2 interesting facts first: I just googled "NSV" yesterday to figure out what the heck it meant lol, and I didn't feel like I had any real success to show since I started on here (*really* started) July 25th...but I decided it wouldn't hurt to share :)

I participated in my first 5k today (woot!). I still have a little over 100 lbs to lose so I'm not exactly speedy....but 49 minutes is good enough for me :)

The other NSV is that I just confirmed that I can put both pairs of jeans on/take them off without touching the zipper or button now. Woot! (Now to wear a belt until I can officially start buying the next size down).

Repeated small victories are what large victories are made of :)

    Congrats on the 5K, that's a great achievement! I can't run, so always in awe of those that can!!

    Make sure you got that belt on in public, you don't need those jeans falling down!

    Great NSVs.

    Good job on the NSV! I totally understand about the pants. I have had to go ahead & buy new pants. Mine were just too big and looked ridiculous!
    Keep up the good work!! :happy:

    Well...it was a lot of speed walking with spurts of jogging. I have to learn how to jog properly though...my brother kinda laughed and commented on how I only have 2 speeds (he said my jogging spurts were a little fast...I thought if I jogged any slower I might as well walk or I'd be jogging in place lol).

    Wtg on the 5K!!! Very impressive!! As for the pants...gonna say definitely wear a belt...I'm occasionally still wearing jeans from when I was bigger because my hips are still wide and able to hold them up...well..I was dancing the other night at a bar..and when the song said jump, on the part where you come down...well the pants tried to do the same thing...so finished the song holding my jeans up...LOL Definitely wear the belt!!! Gravity will pants you!!! LOL
