Took the kids down to the park today and was making laps around it. Our local pastor and his family were out for a walk. They told me how they think it is just great that I am that I am out getting healthy They said they have seen me down at the park at night and how they think its a huge accomplishment for me to start running. Just the right NSV to get me back on board with the C25K. Week 4 is so hard for me! 0

when I'm lying in bed on my side or laying on the sofa watching tele, I can feel my hip bone jutting out! I'm sure it was never there before!
Also, being able to say no to things like cakes and biscuits. Generally all shop bought so I just tell myself the next time I fancy them I can hop on my bike and do the 10 minute journey myself.0 -
i have not seen a dramatic weight loss, but yesterday i was able to fit into a dress i have been trying to get back into for 6 years now. then realized that i was down to sizes. this dress has been hanging in my bedroom for about 3 years now just waiting for me to fit into it again. i never really got the whole exercise thing till now. i was almost in tears.0

All along the way, my 14 year old son has measured my weight loss and body transformation by hugging me...he tries to see how far he can wrap his arms around my waist and touch his wrists, elbows, etc.. He doesn't get excited anymore though because the other day he said, "Mom, I can always wrap my arms around you and grab past my elbows and half way up my bicep...so it's no big deal to me that your waist is so small now."
LOL...it sure is a BIG deal to me!

Had a couple of people tell me that I look taller, my mum said that it's like I'm standing taller. Shoulders back instead of slouched. Also told my arms and chest are looking nicer and more firm. Happy dayze0

The pants that were too snug to wear when I first bought them a month ago are now almost too big to wear.0

Collarbones... Hip bones.... I have muscles in my legs.... Flex my arms and actually see muscle, not fat.
Having some body builder type flirt shamelessly with me last night at the gym.... while my fiancee was standing nearby.
My fiancee being able to literally pick me up and walk around and toss me on the bed.
Piggy back rides!
Smaller clothes of course! 24W? No way! 12-14 please. 3X tops? Nu Uh! Large!
Seeing my toes, and polishing them myself.
Being able to sit Indian style in my work chair.
Drawing my knees up to my chin0 -

I actually kept up with the FRB's (Front Running Btards) in my bike hash group on Sunday. It was a 20 mile course and up until now, I've been toward the back of the pack. I was so stoked!0

So far my NSV's come from the measuring tape! I've lost 13 inches in the past 4 weeks.
And people are noticing! Huge motivational boost!
Plus, I pick yummy nutritious foods that I won't hate. :laugh:0 -
Giving my former skinny clothes away because they were to big too!0
