The boss ordered pizza for lunch and I changed into my gym clothes drove to the gym and killed leg day! Took all my will power with the smell of pizza wafting through the office but I DID NOT CAVE! Feelin Good!

After reading posts from another topic where posters suggested slowing jogging pace to improve breathing, I tried it myself and had a GREAT workout on the treadmill. I was able to jog 2 minutes/walk 1 minute for a total of 20 minutes jogging. Usually I jog/walk for 1 minute intervals but slowing down from 5 mph to 4.7 was much better!

After 4 months and 20lbs, one of my co-workers asked how much weight I have lost and said I look great! She did not know I have been "dieting"! Yay! Someone who sees me everyday noticed!

Apologies if I am slow but what is NSV?

I broke my foot Saturday night in a completely graceful fall down the stairs. I'm now stuck with a walking boot and crutches for at least six weeks. I was really disappointed because I had been doing so well with my walking. Normally, I would get completely discouraged and just give up, I mean what's the use of eating healthy if I can't even work out? Well I didn't totally break down! I had one crazy indulgent meal and then decided "Hey do I really want to just give up the 20lbs I've already lost? That was freaking hard! I don't want to do it again!". Now I'm right back on track with eating and logging. In the past I never would have been able to stick to my "diet". Hooray!!!

The jeans I bought in the beginning of July (and were a little tight to start) are very saggy on my butt. It's not cute, but it's a good problem to have!

When I go to the gym, I tuck my T-shirt in because I no longer have a huge belly to hide.

Thanks for clarifying!

I picked my diet back up a few weeks ago after having taken a ~6 month hiatus and am starting to fit back into some of the size 6 dresses I had bought when I was in shape before. Feeling good!

An NSV for me last night: I was at the gym last night and had finished my deadlifts. I was putting the plates and bar away when a man a little older than me said, "I hope you don't take this as creepy, but I've noticed you here almost every day for the last few months, and I just wanted to tell you that you've made some great progress. Keep it up!" He went away to go onto his next exercise with a wink. Later as I passed him, heading for the locker room, I overheard him whisper to his workout buddy, "Her *kitten* just gets better and better..." OMG!

My whole belly use to flop over and I could lift it up and shake it. Now it doesn't flop over in the middle. I mean it is sticking out, but not flopping over, if that makes any sense.

I have always- /always/- had to squeeze to close the waistband of my pants. Now I have a few pairs that will slide way down on my hips if I'm not careful. What is this strange new feeling of having to pull /up/ my pants?! What is this "needing a belt"?

I made it under 300 pounds. And I cried.... yes, I'm aware it's a scale victory... but it was huge to me. Please don't be mean.

So you still had a great victory both scale and making a goal that you really wanted. To me it is a double goal victory yes a number from the scale, but better yet the way it made you feel was another victory. It still counts in my book. Way to go.:drinker:

I can’t stop touching my waist because it seem like maybe – just maybe - all those sit-ups might have actually started to pay off and there might actually be some – dare I say it – definition?! It's minor, but I think it might be there! Still have that extra layer on my lower stomach, but my waist area feels somehow different and better!!

My BMI just slipped into the "normal" range!!!!! :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:

I know this is scale-related but still...

I broke up with my shiddy gym and dropped off my plateau.

It's not much, but when I flexed this morning, I could see the hint of a curve from my bicep on my arm. It's there! Just waiting for the fat to get out of the way!
