Its that time again, what little victory have you had today that'll bring you one step closer to your dream body!?!

I resisted buying Halo4 and i'm resisting Call Of Duty later this week. If i buy these games I know i will spend some of my time playing these instead of going to the gym, and then i'll eat some bad food whilst playing them and then i'll play some more.... etc. I know i should learn to control this but i;ve been a gamer since the SNES and i'm completely addicted so the only way i can control it is not buy games whilst im concentrating on something else!

Please post your victory!

    I now run with my dog almost every day. If I don't, I become a little grumpy. So I guess my NSV is that I am physically addicted to excercise!
    (And my dog seems pretty damn happy about it,too!:tongue: )

    That is brilliant! I wish I had the motivation of a wedding to stop me from smoking.

    My NSV is walking to the vending machine to get some nuts for some extra protein and noticed they had none. So I walked away empty handed although there were plenty of other tasty treats! I have overcome a sweet, snacking tooth!

    Some awesome NSVs there everyone.

    Quiting smoking and using that money for a wedding venue is an amazing accomplishment! i love it when moneysaving and health come together.

    Making cookies for the painters is a really nice thing to do and then not eating any is excellent!

    Congrats to all of those fitting into old clothes. This has only happened on a few items for me but its a brilliant feeling when it happens.

    I have this skirt, it's a maternity skirt... you know that kind with the band that fits nice? Well I wore it the day my husband took the photos of me that started me here 9 months ago.... it was THAT photo in THAT skirt that made me cry & get serious. I have not looked back.......


    So come today I'm going through my clothing..... most of it no longer fits & most of it never worn..... I come across the skirt.....I try it on for old times sake..... it falls off.... ok fair enough..... but that band is sooooooooooooo wide....... so I pull it up..... it's a strapless dress now....... sits at the knees (it did when it was a skirt that's how much extra it had to go over..... and now I have a brand new black boob tube dress :)

    So the skirt that started it.... becomes my NSV for the day. Hubby thinks I look great in it & it also means I now need my very 1st strapless bra (never had one before cause they would never stay up)...... YAY.

    I think mine has to be my inch loss since starting this journey. But also the shock that I was actually a bigger size than I thought I was. I have lost 26 inches overall since 1st August, of which 7 inches off my waist at the navel and 5 inches off my hips. Im still trying to come to terms with the inch loss as I cant believe I was that big which means I was a UK 20 not 18 as I thought. I am now 3 inches off becoming a UK size 14 and my now size 16's are slipping down a lot.

    I'm not gay, nor have a problem with gay people, but when I was "out" earlier tonight, I noticed guy's looking at me. They weren't gay, I just was getting a lot of looks. Sometimes this feels normal, but maybe because I was feeling good and knowing I'm losing weight I noticed them sorta staring more tonight, but than again, I haven't been out that often, at night, since starting MFP. Yes, I saw woman checking me out too. Probably sounds like I have a big head, but it's just what I felt/noticed tonight. Thats my NVS today. Good night!

    Isn't it great when you notice others checking you out now? I get that heaps when I'm running..... before people would have just stared like I was a freak. Well done.

    I resisted buying Halo4 and i'm resisting Call Of Duty later this week. If i buy these games I know i will spend some of my time playing these instead of going to the gym, and then i'll eat some bad food whilst playing them and then i'll play some more.... etc. I know i should learn to control this but i;ve been a gamer since the SNES and i'm completely addicted so the only way i can control it is not buy games whilst im concentrating on something else!

    I just got assassins creed the bomb a must play. Halo 4 is kind of w/e i didnt like the anniversary one so lost sight of halo Black ops 2 is going to rock for sure. The way i get around playing video games is when there is a inbetween like a match or down time i will do like situps and pushups, or squats. Sometime I will turn on the treadmill and turn it on 3.5mph and walk and play lol.

    I put on my favourite dress this morning and when I put my waist belt on to go round it I had to cinch it in by 2 holes - and I only wore it a couple of weeks ago!
