I gave up smoking and lost weight and the money saved booked our wedding venue!!! thats one hell of a victory i think!!!

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!

Last summers wardrobe fits me again YAY! BUT its winter now BOOOO :sad:

I fit comfortably into a pair of shorts that I haven't worn since I was pregnant with my last child..

I compared my measurements this morning and realised i have lost 42.5 cm since March!

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'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!

Realising that there was no wobbly tummy bits when doing my cycle tummies at circuit training! Also, and I'm really trying to see this as a positive, I'm feeling the cold a lot more now!

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!

"Games leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering"

Please post your victory!

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 can now run for 25 minutes without stopping.

Besides eating much healthier, I have gone without a soda for over 2 months now!!! I have also been stopped by people at work telling me I look like I have lost weight. When I tell them I have, many have asked how I am doing it and I have actually motivated a few other people to do it too!

I will go to the thrift store with my kids later and now I can just pick vintage stuff from the rack and it fits! Before I didn´t even try on things because they were always too tight.

Had to give away my UK size 14 jeans and a dress that was my favourite - both are now ridiculously loose on me (my mum got them lol) and a friend I hadn't seen in ages told me last night that I'd 'lost loads of weight' - its only 7lbs but nice to be told anyway

Today I’m wearing a skirt that a couple of weeks ago didn’t fit right :-D

I went window shopping the other day (that's my version of trying on clothes, but not buying anything for the day). I haven't done this since summer time. I kept drifting to my old sizes and then realizing.....OH WAIT! I don't fit in these any more! And then skip happily down the rack to the sizes that were two sizes smaller!

Then I had a REALLY good NSV, if that wasn't good enough. I grabbed a 12, thinking that's about where I was and decided to grab a 10.....to see how far I had to go. Not only did I get the 10 ON.....it was comfortable~only a baby muffin top! I grabbed 3 more completely different outfits in a size 10, just to make sure.....all fit!!!! Probably need another 5 pounds to make it a PERFECT fit. I kept holding up those pants and they looked so SMALL! Thinking......no way am I this SMALL! And then they would just slip right on!

That'll put a little hitch in your giddy up!
