    My Acanthosis Nigricans (it's a skin issue relating to insulin-resistance, google it) is noticeably lighter to me after just a week of healthy-eating and exercise!

    pouring a glass of wine and then pouring it down the sink as I realised I didnt want it, so my will power is getting better !

    Oh my goodness. I'm coming to your house, disconnecting your drain, and waiting under it!

    Flexed my ab muscles last night after doing my Insanity workout, and FELT MUSCLES! Then flexed my arms and SAW MUSCLES! Still waiting to see them in my abs, but feeling it felt like progress!

    Mine was bitter sweet. It was on the fourth of july when a friend said to me with kind of a concerned look on her face, "you're not going to lose any more weight, ARE YOU?!" And later, when I was told that my chest plate was crazy and that I should eat another piece of pizza instead of my salad. Oh, and I'm able to wear some workout capris that I was always afraid that I would pop the button on, or that i'd rip the seam, I ran out of laundry and decided to try them and I'm soooo glad they have a drawstring too!

    I accidentally picked up a pair of my jeans that were too tight to button and put them on to find that they fit perfectly! :D

    My pants and belt are on their last legs of me putting off buying smaller clothes.

    I also ate like over half a pound of chicken today with lunch at an Indian buffet.

    Felt pretty f*cking victorious.

    I would say walking 30 minutes to work this morning despite a heat advisory, and not getting Wendy's at lunch even though it smelt so good!!! :)
    Great idea to think about your small victories, instead of looking at the scale all the time - I really haven't lost much "weight" but my clothes are slowly starting to fall off of me, yay!

    I didn't have any clean shirts (long story) so dug around in the closet and found an old one I have not been able to wear in numerous years. Put it on, it fit, looked good and wore it to the restaurant to eat!! yipee!!

    Agreed, I only weigh myself about once a month now. I enjoy seeing the other changes more

    Went to cardio class this morning. On the way out, the instructor told me I did a great job today.

    This particular class is really tough on me and I always feel like quitting half way through. I just keep on truckin'! Really nice to hear that the person in charge noticed.

    Wore shorts I "grew out of.." I needed to wear a belt because they were too loose.

    Weighed in higher (again...grrr...) but my NSV is that I have continued to stick with my set calorie target and exercise plan regardless of what that darn scale says!!

    Great topic --- and I really wish I'd seen it this morning!!! I had a bad day - slogged through my morning walk with the dog, didn't get to my kickboxing workout, had a fruit smoothy at lunch that, come to find out, completely busted my calorie count for the day --- I have 39 left!

    So yeah - this topic probably would have been exactly the motivation I needed this morning. I'll take my NSV from Wednesday, the 4th of July - when not only did I get to the gym, but did kickboxing AND strength training and felt like a superstar!

    Congrats to all of you - and keep up the good work!!!
