1. I bought a pair of size 8 capris.
2. I went and bought size medium scrubs and scrub pants and wore them to work and EVERYONE noticed my weightloss.
3. I woke up at 4:50 AM the other day so that I could go for a run before work.

Funny thing about scrubs- you can wear them for a really long time after they are too big and when You finally get some that fit - it's like holy cow how were you wearing the 3 size bigger ones right?

I get a lot of looks now. Girls actually look up and down my body. I didn't even know they did that. I thought only men were that obvious.

I work on the slope in the oil field ... got my first up and down look this week from a young boy at the camp I live at ..hahaha
(mid 20"s is a young boy to me :blushing: )

Also had lunch with afriend at the camp I used to stay at and had my back to the room and the friend I was eating with said so many of the men were trying to figure out who the "new " sexy woman was .... hahaha I lived there for lika year and a half before moving to the other camp

Noticing my fat clothes are becoming to big for me.

I stuck it out and have done Jillian Michaels "Ripped in 30" every day this week while traveling. (Mixture of levels 1-3)
Now I won't feel like I have to start up the momentum again when I get home on Tuesday.

I fit into a size 15 MISSES capri yesterday. I started out too heavy to fit into a size 26/28 jean from Lane Bryant! WHOO HOO!!

I completed my very first 5K! Ran it in 48 minutes, which may not be a great time, but a 16 minute mile is a major success for me! Can't wait to run my next one!

Today my mom brought to my attention that the shorts I've been wearing the last week and a half are actually size 6, not 8 like I thought. They're half a size too small and I'm still in 8-10 jeans, but I'll take it.

ETA: It has been about 8 years since I've been able to wear these shorts. I don't know why I kept them, or only these two pairs since I bought several more at the time. Glad I did.

ETA again for my dad: Today my dad received an E-mail from his sister on the other side of the country that the new Facebook picture he posted looked like he'd lost some weight and she wondered if it was on purpose or if he was sick. Seeing as the photo was only of his face and neck, she couldn't see that it was proportional and she was concerned because he's had some health scares in the past. He's not actively losing weight but needs to and is getting sucked into my mom's and my weight loss because we're the family cooks. Go Dad!

Mine was catching myself in a full-length mirror while I was getting ready to go for a ride, in just a sports bra and cycling shorts, and saying aloud in my apartment, "Holy s***, girl!" ...I actually surprised myself with how great I look these days!

This is a great thread!

Working on buying new wardrobe for fall! Almost noting fits, from size 16 to a size 8...looking forward to the 8's fitting loosely in a few more weeks.

My NSV this week is sort of silly, but the silly things make life fun. I was one of the parents chaperoning a group of Cub Scouts at a corn maze. There is an area at the back with trampolines, zip lines, pedal go karts and a petting zoo. I rode the tractor out with the boys, but it was full when it was time to leave so I decided to walk back instead. One of the boys said, "bet you can't keep up." Surprise, surprise, I was able to keep up for half the trip. I think I could have done the whole trip in my sneakers, but I was wearing hiking sandals and getting gravel in them. OUCH! (I cut through the field and got back the same time they did. )

Caught an accidental glance of myself doing crunches in those giant gym mirrors and didn't gross myself out anymore. Started working out & weight training a few months before starting MFP so I definitely see a difference. Also same day the gym owner came over to tell me he could tell I'd lost weight. I don't see him that often cuz usually I work out at 4:45 am before work.

Congrats to everyone here reporting. Sometimes an NSV can feel better than the scale!

I can swing a 16kg kettlebell - and it WASN'T insanely difficult for me :noway:

I know that might not sound like very much, but seeing as I was struggling with an 8kg one when I started...:blushing:

I put on a t shirt that I haven't been able to wear for a while, and I didn't have to suck in the gut! :happy:

BoomstickChick

It's been 2 weeks (tomorrow) since I had my baby boy and i'm down 20 lbs out of 24 I gained. I say that's pretty darn awesome =D

Mine is not messing up on the weekend. I haven't had that good of a weekend in MONTHS. Go me!

I tried on some of my NFL t-shirts from the last 2 years over the weekend and I was swimming in all of them! They all are the fitted girly styles and they used to either be a little tight or fit me well. There was so much excess fabric I could have put another person in it! They were size XL and XXL and I wear M now. Time to go shopping again.

pensfan1

Fit into 3 pairs of jeans that were just too small when I bought them. I'm a little sad that my favorite Calvin Klein jeans are now too big...I think I'll get over it though! Haven't gone down a full size yet, but I'm happy to be able to tell that I'm getting smaller.

CaeliGirl11

Trained all summer for a triathlon...finished it this past Saturday...and finished 2nd place Athena division!! Now that was out of 3 Athenas but still...I beat someone out for that 2nd place;)

This really hot mom was walking through our row and was losing her balance and reached up to grab my arm to catch herself and said omg ... nice arms. I admit it, i was totally psyched

My NSV is most importantly feeling more comfortable and confident naked this is a big deal and a great help in my relationship especially because my boyfriend is on this health journey with me and he is looking better and better by the day.

I am learning how to cook awesome healthy meals and enjoying it!

I am more focused

In the past few weeks my skin and hair feel healthy and young and I have not had any break outs, even when my monthly vistitor was here!

I can twice as long as I could 2 weeks. I am staying consistent and I remind myself that "even if I trip a little on one of the steps I shouldn;t throw myself down the whole staircase."

I hadn't been on a bicycle in years!!!!! Mainly because I was too unfit and my legs no longer strong enough to pedal for any length of time. The other weekend I went to the mountains with my bf and we biked 17km in total!!!!. I did get off occasionally to push the bike up some of the hills that my legs just refused to bike up, but I was so proud of myself for completing the trail!!!

I just happened a few minutes ago! A courier who used to deliver to my office but changed routes 6 months ago came in and was visibly surprised when he saw me. He told me how great I look and asked me to have coffee with him sometime (not happening, but nice to have been asked)

I was able to walk/hike for a full hour....without stopping! I give a lot of credit for this to the C25K app, which I don't use for running, but for walking. I just walk faster when it tells me to jog. But, I'd say about two weeks ago, I could barely get through 30 minutes without stopping a few times. This past Sunday, I did the 30 minutes on C25K, PLUS an additional 30 minutes at a moderate pace. My legs were pretty sore when I finished, but I wasn't out of breath or tired.

I'm involved with a social group that had really fabulous - and fattening - morning teas quite regularly. On the past 4 occasions I haven't eaten one thing the whole time I'm there. For me that's a huge victory.

brendywendy

I went to a dance party at the weekend and people didn't recognise me. Loads of people "introduced" themsevles. I've only lost a few lbs since the last party

AbstractAsterism

My NSV was my first ever since starting this journey August 4th... I went clothes shopping and was down a size.
