The small things are so important now. I raised my arms over my head to stretch this a.m and realize I don't feel that padding I carried on my shoulders and neck any longer, it's quite liberating. Reinforces my efforts to keep going!

I was supposed to take a major exam on Monday morning, but spent Sunday night throwing up. I was able to get a new voucher and will reschedule; however, my NSV is that I didn't get all bent out of shape about it. (I also threw up Monday night and was sick all Tuesday). I cancelled/rescheduled my activities, stayed in bed, called the doctor finally and was told BRAT, went in yesterday and had a blood test and X-rays that were clear.

And this morning I woke up hungry! It's a real victory to be comfortable in my own skin no matter what is going on.

TOTALLY relate to that! My office chair has arms that move outward if needed. These days I don't need them in their pushed out position any more! Woo hoo!

After 3 years of crossfit, multiple PRs, about 60lbs lost, 2 crashes were I gained arround 40lbs but never quitted crossfit and lost it all back, I've finally been able to do pull ups in a WOD! I did opened my hand and did singles but hey, that's a start

JustMissTracy

My most recent/current NSV is the fact that I've been wearing real actual "shorts" this summer, and short dresses...for the first time in over 25 years! It's still really out of my comfort zone, but I feel like I've accomplished something huge..lol!

Only ate half my entree at dinner last night, didn't order a beer, and I STILL have ice cream in the freezer that I'm saving for a craving.

Saving for a craving - my new motto!!

Today I was walking to my car and I thought my arm was dirty. When I tried to brush the dirt off, I realized that it wasn't dirt, but the shadow cast by a clearly defined muscle on my forearm.

Went trail running tonight and I guess it was a good thing I hit the trails instead of running the in-town route I usually run because my Running Room leggings fell off...with the internal drawstring done as tight as it could go . Now I have to sell my RR

mccokat

I comfortably fit into a new pair of running shorts that are a large. Not an XL! They fit perfectly.

My most recent NSVs:

I needed a zip front jacket because of some surgery that meant I couldn't wear anything pullover. I consulted the size charts and ordered an XL zip front hoodie... from the youth section!! It was $5 cheaper than the adult version and it fits.

I don't hide from the camera any more. From our daughter's Honor Society induction:
There are so few pictures of me I thought my kids would forget I existed - that has changed!

I realized that I may have to get rid of some favorite white pants. The legs in the pants have lots and lots of room, but I can still wear them. I do have to use the tie strings to keep them up though or they would fall off! These pants are so comfortable. OK, I am not ready to give these pants up! Sorry....

Bought Australian size eight jeans for the first time ever today. Also bought a skipping rope.

Look in a second hand shop. You might find something else that's comfy

Some knickers that I've had in the drawer that were way too tight last year so I never wore them actually fit me! I can't believe it , I honestly thought they'd never fit me as they were so tight

tinypinkfruitbat

Shopping for clothes and being 2 sizes smaller than the last time I went! XD
Had a panicked moment this morning when I couldn't find my engagement ring. It had slipped off during the night...this time last year I had to stop wearing it as it was cutting off the circulation in my finger!
Seeing my collarbone and muscle definition now the fat layer is disappearing

I had some friends over and one brought timbits (the best donut holes in the world). I didn't eat a single one, even when he offered me my favorite kind. It's the first time I've event resisted a timbit! And my husband had popcorn the other night and I didn't have any of it, even though the butter smelled SO good.

The jeans size that had fit me perfectly for the last couple years was 14W, but in some brands I've been a 16 and occasionally an 18.

After my 14W's started falling off me, I bought a pair of size 12 jeans last month. Now the 12's are starting to get a little loose!

Went to a boot camp lastnight and kept up with women half my size.My fiance came to pick me up early and had been watching without me knowing.The look on his face when I got through the class...priceless,he was so proud of me.This made me really happy cause he was with me as I slowly gained a whole person ( about 150 lbs) and it feels really good that he is still here as I slowly lose it.

KareninLux

Worn a new outfit to work everyday for the last two weeks - all from clothes in my closet which haven't fit me for years! Yes!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I added a pushup to my burpee. I still can only go half down in a unmodified pushup but before I couldn't even do that. I the fact that I felt I needed to up the difficulty of my burpee outstands me. Actually even the fact that I do burpees on a regular basis outstands me.

Dawned on me that I haven't needed a tums in over a month now. I used to go through a big jar of them every week or so due to heartburn after pretty much every meal. I literally wouldn't leave home without 4 or 5 in my pocket.

Wynterbourne

Today I dropped below 200 lbs for the first time in five years and only the second time in my adult life.

grburtch

Airplane seat belts fit easily and turnstile bars no longer hit me in the butt.

Being the same size you were at 18 after having had three kids- pure win!

And you look slenderer in the more recent photo.

Got some haters at the gym! One super cute buff guy, was working out in front of me and gave me the "well done" face after he saw my bench press. I said, thanks for giving me your look of approval. He said I did a good job, that he had just gotten to the weight I was lifting not too long ago and it took him a while. The guy that was spotting me was also encouraging me to squeeze out a few more reps. Feeling good, and then some haters had to hate.

There were two guys working out next to me and one of them was talking, possibly on the phone (headphones) and said, "I can't believe it. This fat woman just walked up in here and lift weight most men struggle with. A fat woman......Fat.... liftin weights." They couldn't have been four feet away from me, and felt the need to say, 3 times, "fat woman," knowing full well I could hear them, clearly, talking about me.

I ignored it and started a new set.

Good for you, ignoring those asinine twerps and seeing why they felt the need to be obnoxious.
