    Monday NSV: well i normally dont think i'm pretty and for once I can actually say I felt pretty today :) and I got through my speech in oral communications and i gave eye contact, which I didn't for my last two speeches (thats not a weight loss victory but it still feels good)

    I agree, eye contact as a victory. lol I get nervous giving speeches and it shows because I look down! Which really messed me up on points in some of my college courses.

    There has been a lot of posts lately on MFP about belly dancing. Really makes me miss it! :sad: Though there is someone teaching a class up here now on Wed. & Fridays. I hope by this time next year I'll be back into, and maybe I can have a figure like this one to go with all the moves! (*sigh* wishful thinking right there!)

    Hi everyone! My beginning weight this week is 232. I pray I can get past this plateau I am on!!!!! lets rock this week :heart:


    Update*** Sorry just wanted to add my NSV for Monday :smooched: I gave away six pair of pants, two skirts, and 5 shirts yesterday to one of my fellow soccer moms who just started a new job and needed office clothes. Most of these were sizes 16-20 clothes! I am proud to say I am wearing a 14 now! Even though all 14's are not the same.

    I've never tried it... always thought I had "too much belly", y'know? It does sound like fun. I'm with you next year! :)

    There's an MMA place near me that offers a "Cage Fitness" class. It looks really interesting. Kind of like kickboxing and Zumba mixed together!

    I know I'm waaaay late, but I had a busy monday! My NSV that happened this weekend was my glasses were falling off my face because I lost weight in my face! I got them tightened and just out of habit I keep pushing them up my nose but I don't have too! :-P Good luck everyone! Get your 30 mins in!!

    I had an awesome day today! met and went over the 30mins of exercise and I drank 10 glasses of water! I have really been trying to up my water intake! I don't have a NSV as I am new at this still, but you are all so inspering and I can't wait to have my own sometime soon!

    My NSV for today was that a top that I love, that was always a little too tight on me, was actually somewhat loose and looked really good on me :)

    Also, belly dancing rocks :) I do it once a week or so, just using a DVD, really gives me a great core workout

    NSV- I have had this pair of jeans forever. I believe I got them about 6 or 7 years ago and have probably only worn them 3 times when I was at my lowest. Every spring/ summer I try them on like they are going to magically fit me and they never do. Yesterday I tried again and they buttoned and zipped right up! I'm still going to wait a few more weeks to wear them because I am rocking a bit of a muffin top which is so not hot.

    I feel bad for all of the horrible things I've called Jillian Michaels over the past week and a half. I guess I should be thanking her instead of cursing her mid-squat!

    I am right there with you on the water! Everytime I think i did it I am always like 3 glasses short and end up drowning myself before bed just to make it up. Then I have to wake up 19 times to pee...

    a better pic of the niece!

    Monday NSV- I was able to wear my husbands boxers last night to bed. When we first got married I couldn't even get them on over my fat belly and thighs!

    So cute!! Congrats!

    And awesome NSV!!
