NSV - I was going through an old suitcase a few weeks ago and found an old pair of pants. I haven't gotten any new pants since I started losing weight because I didn't want to spend the money, but I had a goal weight coming up and my prize was a new pair of jeans. I tried to old pants on and they were pretty snug, but like 10 inches below the size I had been wearing. That was a cool feeling. I decided to order a pair 2 inches smaller even though the old pants didn't give much room for anything. The place I order from takes about 3 weeks before you receive them, so I figured this would be a nice goal. They came in today, and they are a little too big lol. Looking forward to the next time I can get new pants.

Awesome job!!👏🏽👏🏽0 -
Hope everyone is doing well!
I pulled it off yall.. did the full 5k today- over 3.12 miles. Over 6707 steps, which is more than 4000 higher than I've done since I started here. My legs are a bit jelly, my backs a little sore, but the rest of my parts held up lol. Might not feel good in the morning, but I feel amazing right now.
Much love.7 -

Great nsv! In my experience it takes ages for your brain to catch up with your actual loss! I can't tell you how many times I've seen clothes, thought they looked the right size, bought them and they were too big!!2 -

Fantastic, those extra steps are a huge number of calories burned and fat lost!(2 -

I didn’t end up going to the pool as my daughter from Scotland called. With the time difference and her running a business it can be hard to connect. I didn’t really eat at the fair. I had a few pieces of the girls popcorn, a taste of their dill pickle cotton candy( 🤮) and split a pop with my husband as my blood sugars went low.
@Megan_smartiepants1970
Is there a conversion for walking while pushing a walker? I was at the fair for 5 hours and it gave me less than 500 steps. Granted all those 5 hours weren’t walking but I estimate it was at least 2 hours of walking.

@lindamtuck2018
Today is my weigh in day but I don't have one to post for today.
I had health problems flare up this week so I have pretty much been house bound and unable to do much.
2 symptoms flared up Tuesday morning and a 3rd flared up Thursday night which was quite brutal.
Last day I was able to be out and about doing "life as normal" was Monday.
Things should turn the corner this coming week so I will weigh in next Saturday.

Nach! That IS amazing! To think not long ago you struggled with much shorter distances... I'm sure three miles would have felt like the ends of the earth!
Hope you can enjoy some recovery time today. 0 -
Sorry - one day I will remember to put everything in a single post, rather than three in a row!
@lindamtuck2018
Dill pickle cotton candy? Really? Obviously I have not been to the fair in decades. I think I would make that face, too!!

Was out of town with work for a couple of days. Made a point of getting my steps and, for the most part, made pretty good food choices. These things are not natural for me yet (if they ever will be - there definitely were cookies calling my name!), so it's one mini-NSV at a time!
Happy Saturdayl3 -

Great job @NachDeezy . Keep up the super work. Love the pants story.
Congratulations @KarlysFreedom . That is super weight loss.
@Megan_smartiepants1970 maybe fitbit didn't recognize the steps because you were holding onto walker. Stick fitbit in sock or wrap it to your leg with stretchy bandage tape. Same thing happens when you push shopping cart. No steps are recognized. Hope this helps.
@inshapeCK I hope you feel better soon 💕
I am off to bed. Enjoy your night.3 -
