    I've always had chubby fingers and never liked them because of that. On Wednesday I realized that they've slimmed down!

    A couple years ago when I was trying to figure out my bra size... the information that I found told me that I didn't need to wear one. Perhaps my rib cage was to large for my bust. I would always buy any bra at that point that seemed to "fit". Today I measured myself again and got an actual size. I went to the store to try one on even though I was highly doubting that the size I was given was correct. It fit amazingly well. I'm still excited!

    I also bought scrub tops in a smaller size today. :D

    Well mine was that when I went out to the shops last night I was crossing the road and there were a few people on the pavement in front of a shop. Having been in this fitness/health path for so long and constantly thinking about how my body should look I appraise most people that walk past to see how their body compares to mine. Anyway, I got to the pavement and looked up and thought, hmm... that girl has a pretty good body... nicely in proportion, not too big, not too small - then I realised it was ME in the reflection of the floor-length shop window!

    I smiled from there all the way home! XX

    This could be seen as a little to much! but my NSV of this week was to attend to a friend's farewell party. Thats not the NSV, the NSV was that the, believe me, sexiest girl in the party tried to flirt with me all the night, thats the NSV when in the same party you have a handful of other nice guys, good jobs, pilots, etc... and no, a party is not a place to discover the inner side of anybody, so people there hunt by your image!
    The true true NSV is that I paid attention to her, of course, but didnt even try to be "receptive"...
    NSV for me! haha!
    Pretencious..i know it..

    Inspirational thread, fantastic NSVs

    Me, well Tuesday, balanced on two swiss balls (hands on one, knees on the other) managed to deadlift 50kg on Wednesday, Thursday got through a kettlebell circuit class without feeling like I would die. Finally feeling like I'm getting fit

    Have a great Friday everyone.

    Today is a good day. This morning I:

    1. Finally saw enough of a difference between my 'before' and 'nearly there' pics to put them into a profile pic.

    2. Tried on almost everything in my wardrobe to find something to wear to work and realised it is ALL too big for me. Time to go shopping again........

    I was selected to participate in the 'Curvy and Fit' celebration video for my country! :-) They taped my workouts and interviewed me! Woohoo. I am curvy and fit, working towards being less curvy and more fit!

    Buying Size 14 (UK Sizing) jeans and not knowing whether or not they'll fit, and having them fit like a glove.

    When I was out walking the other day, a guy looked at me as he drove past. I glanced back, and he'd stuck his head out the window and smiled. I am taking it as a positive, as that's never happened to me before.

    :blushing:

    i sent a photo of myself in the gown that i will be wearing to my bro's wedding in a month to a friend of mine (who hasn't seen me in 3 months) and before even commenting on the dress she couldn't stop talking about how small i looked!

    validation from other people is so gratifying, especially since it's hard for me to see the weight loss myself!

    Running my first half-marathon. Before the start of the race a guy said to me "this is your FIRST half marathon?!? Did you even READ the web site?" (He meant this: "Riley's Rumble is the evil half that your mother warned you about. Don't be seduced by the lush bucolic countryside of rural Montgomery County. This race will challenge the best runners. If you want the 3 H's (hills, heat, and humidity), this is the race for you. It is a good workout if you're preparing for a fall marathon but Riley's is not a good idea for your first half marathon.") "Yes I did, and no I can't do the one in September because it is the day after tough mudder." This guy, who is 5 years younger than I am, and has been running 6 years, finished in 2:06:41. I finished in 2:07:05. Take THAT, young runner dude! This is definitely one of the top nsv's of the year for me, not just for the week. :-)

    This week was two things actually. I went on a boat and wasn't ashamed to take my shirt off and I had bought 3 shirts a few months back that were too small but now they fit perfectly.

    LAst night I stepped on the scale and realized I had lost 2 lbs. I had not worked out since Monday and so I didnt believe it and got back on.
    Sure enough 2 lbs down. Guess all those veggies I ate this week paid off.
    I love the small things in life.

    Last week I set a deadlift PR at 105 pounds and thought it might have been too much.

    This week I did a set of 9 with that weight and Im gonna go for 125 next week :D

    I was able to get my daughter to work out with me. It may not sound like much, but just getting her to walk with me is a fight, so getting her to do an actual workout video is a huge deal. I am happy, soon I may get her on the health bandwagon.

    Yesterday, I wore a pair of 9/10 pants that when purchased were no where near fitting. :)

    Also, ran three times this week... my longest distance was 2.5 miles :)

    I'll start.

    My 25 year old daughter came to visit after not seeing me for about 6 months and called me a "health nut" and "fitness finatic".....big change since I lost the 32 lbs!!!:blushing: Hopefully will be an inspiration for her!
    LOL that sounds familiar! My 'kids' are about the same age, 23, 28, 29, and have been telling my husband and me that we are health nuts and that this is our midlife crisis! I told them if it was, it would be something that was a lot more fun than logging food and exercising! lol

    My NSV of the week is... my knees and ankles are so skinny now that there is no padding on them and it hurts to sleep on my side because the bones touch!
