    Today it was a little slow at work so I slide out to Old Navy to try on some jeans. When I started this journey I wearing a 42 inch waist. I've now gotten down to a 36 so I thought I would try on a 34. To my surprise I was able to do them up. They were just a wee bit tight but I got them on and they felt comfortable! I left the store with a huge smile on my face and had to race back to work so that I could share this NSV with my MFP family!

    At my job, we have to get lab work and our waist & weight measured every year. I'm proud to say that within a year, I have lost an inch around my waist and weigh around the same (I weigh 1/2lb less this year lol) as I did this time last year. Looks like I'm doing pretty great maintaining this healthy lifestyle. :smile:

    I had some friends come over and they commented on how good I looked and that my loss was definitely noticeable. I personally cannot see it myself, but it was so nice to have all my hard work noticed :D

    Alright. Mine was: refusing to let myself break off a square off the numerous bars of chocolate brought into our office today...while everyone else was rhapsodising about how yummy it was. Especially this afternoon when I was sooooo hungry!

    I did a 60 minute Zumba class without being breathless and without feeling self conscious about how I looked! I can't wait to do that again!

    Tried on two different pairs of khakis that I have avoided for the last couple of months because they were uncomfortably tight. This morning, both of them fit comfortably and I ended wearing a pair of them to work today. No problem!

    I've already posted on this thread today, but I was just looking at some photos of me and saw a difference and feel really encouraged.

    I started losing weight because my boyfriend broke up with me and I basically didn't eat for a week or so. Having lost what felt like a fair bit of weight (I don't weigh myself, so I can't tell you how much), I thought I might as well continue. I've been feeling like it's working some of the time and not at others, so I wasn't sure how I felt about it all and whether any weight i'd lost was just from that original loss or whether I was still losing or what...

    Today I was looking at photos of myself and I compared these two photos of myself wearing the same waistcoat:

    http://photos.myfitnesspalllc.netdna-cdn.com/images/photos/362/816/31362816_4525.jpg

    and realised that I do look a bit slimmer in the right hand photo. The left hand photo was taken on 9th October, the right hand photo was taken on 6th November. I think my boobs look a bit smaller and my waist looks slimmer and maybe my face looks a little thinner too. It's hard to tell because i'm stood at a slightly different angle, but still, i'm counting it as a small victory and confirmation that things are going ok... I'm having a (non diet-related) crappy horrible day today, so a little victory like that feels good.

    I got up this morning feeling very unmotivated and wanting to drag through the day. But despite that ,I have eaten fantastically, ridden the recumbent stationary bike for 25 minutes, and walked 4 miles!

    Pants I just purchased two weeks ago are a little baggy on me today.

    I ran into a co-worker I haven't seen in awhile (big building!) and she commented on my weight loss in a "Whoa!" tone of voice. :)

    I guess I could call this a NSV.. my teenage son (13), whom hugs me every morning before he walks out the door, says to me this morning, " your getting skinnier and skinner everyday, look I can wrap one arm all the way around you waist now mom !!" I was sorta speechless as not really knowing if he meant that in a good/bad way and he caught on and quickly said " that's a good thing mom, just don't get too skinny." .. love that boy!!

    My daughter gave me a hug this morning and said, "Wow! I can hug more of you because there is less of you!"

    Yes, I cried!!
