First NSVs

So I've been waiting for something special to happen so I could share. I've lost 26 pouns but when you have as much to lose as I do it's hard to tell (IMO). I am a teacher and by the end of the school year i was able to "SQUEEZE" into 3 pairs of pants and I had to buy a pair which was 2 sizes larger than I had been wearing just to to attend a special function. So one of my goals is to fit back into those clothers by the start of this school year 2 weeks ago I tried them oin and I was able to fit comfortably into 9 pairs of pants and button/zip 8 more. Next Monday is the day to comfy fit into them all. Ihaven't tried them back on again. I'm waiting until this weekend.

BUT

I had a few other things happen one after the other.

1. I had to stop wearing my great grandmother's wedding band because it was getting tight and I was greatly afraid that if I didn't take it off it might have to be cut off if I gained anymore weight or if my hand swelled which has been known to happen. So I took it off as well as another ring I always wear. This past weekend I tried them both on and I can wearing them again with out any fear!!

2. I went out to dinner with a friend and I hadnt seen her in a coupld of weeks. She knew I was changing things to get back on track so she asked me how much lost and how was it going. So I told her and she immediately said Wow! I can see it in your face!

3. I've noticed this weekend that my workout capris keep sliding down at the waist - just enough to annoy while exercising but also enough to know that something is getting smaller even if the scale isn't moving as fast as I'ld like it to

4. Today was the first day of preplanning, so I saw coworkers I haven't seen in months. And immediately 2 told me how great I'm looking. I'm still almost 100 pounds over weight but it felt really good to hear that they can see it because I have a hard time seeing it since i live with myself

Just thought I would share. 26 down.... 95 to go!
