    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!

    Buying a suit this morning and having to go two sizes lower than my old suits and being told I'm slim by the sales guy.

    Now, sales guys will say anything but...I'll take it.

    being able to elliptical for an hour on level 10. not that long ago i could barely go 15 minutes on level 1 :)
    also, here's a sweet story, my son, who is 5, asked me if i wanted to share his cookie. i said no. then in a really cute voice, like he was tempting me, he said are you sure? it has sprinkles. i then told him i was on a diet. he asked what it was, so i told him it was where i couldn't eat anything that tastes good so i could lose weight and be skinny and healthy again. he then looked at me and said, mom, you're not fat, i think you're the most beautiful woman in the world. he made me tear up. i love my sweet boy.

    I have a 5k this sat, called Run for Your Lives. We will be chased by zombies while navigating an obstacle course. I'm hoping to atleast complete the obstacles and the 5k. If the zombies "eat my brains" I'm okay with that.

    I was able to do 40 jumping jacks yesterday without hurting my lower back! I have been working on strengthening my core muscles and it seems to be working! I didn't think I'd be able to do 10!!

    Turned down the option of pizza and coke :) It's tiny, but it's the place to start, right?

    A friend today (who I had not seen in 2 weeks) asked me if I had lost weight as I looked more "compact"! I squealed!

    For me, the scale saying I'd put on 1.6lbs :grumble: but my tape measure showing I'd lost an inch off my thighs, half an inch off my waist and an inch off my hips!! :laugh:

    It took me a long time to stop relying on the scale and it was, for the most part, down to you guys on this site and your NSVs!!

    Cycled up a really steep hill, passing a teenager who had dismounted at the halfway stage and was pushing his bike the rest of the way. :laugh:

    I went out for a friend's birthday party last night to a Mexican restaurant/club, and a stranger came up to me and said he admired my back side, the curve of the lower back, butt, and waist. :blushing: It was a huge compliment. I started with a lotta back fat.

    This is a beautiful topic and truly inspirational thread. Congrats to everyone.
