    I got new pants for work with a 38" waist. I measured my waist at home and it was 39", but the 38" fit comfortably.

    At work I needed to go up to the 2nd floor. I walked up 3 steps and I felt as light as air... I was so excited, I ran all the way up the flight of stairs and wasn't even winded when I got to the top! I used to take the elevator.

    I normally take of my wedding and engagement ring when I do my exercise each night. I take them off because my fingers swell from water and they get really tight and hurt. I was 1/2 way through my exercise tonight when I noticed I forgot to take them off. So i finished the exercise with them on and they never got tight. :smile:

    My boobs are now bigger than my belly! Looked down today and said "omg I have boobs! Where did my stomach go!" I'm so glad the weight I have lost is going from the tummy first!

    I successfully overcame the urge to binge by writing about it and exercising until the feelings died down.

    Mine actually occurred on Thursday. I was getting ready for a work function and my husband commented that my backside was starting to dissapear!! This is a big thing! It's no where near gone yet, but the mere fact that "Mr I never see or notice anything" noticed it YAY!!. And for said work function I needed a shirt that was blue or green, well none of mine seem to fit quite right so I went to the shops after school and bought one that was an AU 16, it fit around my hips and my arms!! WOOOOOHOOOOOO, I have been wearing AU 18's all year just to get around my hips and tuck shop lady arms ;)

    After I met with a client for 2.5 hours, it was almost 1pm and I thought, 'heck, let me just find some healthy fast food'. I realized what I said and made it back home where I ate lite tuna in water with lite mayo instead. Might not be much, but I can see my mind is beginning to get this. Small win for bigger results. Just hope I can do this more often.

    Just reading so many of the above posts, I have faith that if I stay on track, I will have a story or two to tell in the future. Y'all are very inspiring to this 'newbie'. Thanks for the positive reinforcement.

    Getting a new scale with a body mass analizer tomorrow. Since I started, I stood on the scale once to get my beginning weight...and then the scale broke...it was funny to me and made me feel like I need to do this right so I do not break another scale...HA!

    So last week I bought new jeans, and had to get them in the "normal people" section instead of Plus... and that made me decide to go to the Closet-Of-Things-Too-Small and sure enough, I could pull out a bunch of things that suddenly fit! But all that is just the prelude to the real NSV here. I was trying things on and felt blown away by what I saw. I said to my husband, "I look great! I know the scale has been going down and all, but this is the first time I've been able to see the change in body shape. I mean, I look at myself every day, you know?"

    He said, "Seriously!? I look at you every day too, and I can see it just fine. You look fantastic."

    ... That was two days ago, and I'm still glowing!!!!

    My co-workers wanted to get breakfast burritos this morning, but I decided to make myself a healthy smoothie instead :)

    Mine happened last night. I am getting ready for m 20 year high school reunion and I put on a shirt I haven't worn in 6 years since my daughter was Ron and it fit and was a little loose. As I am doing final check going out the door( yes I was a little nervous) I notice something hanging under my arm. It was the pull to the zipper on the side. I didn't even have to use the zipper to get the shirt on and off. Thats huge in my book.

    I love reading these. Keep up the great work everyone.

    I was eating healthy and low-cal through the day until I was invited to "board game night" at my friend's house. Now this friend of mine has a baking/chocolate business and tends to have treats lying all over the house -OR- she serves & asks me to test chocolates she makes. Knowing I would be tempted, I drank a soymilk, dessert-tofu & peanut butter smoothie before hand so I would be full of protein & won't cheat.

    WELL... she had a tray set out for everyone consisting of Doritoz, giant-sized soft oreo cookies she made and marshmallow/brownie/walnut cookies. I tried to only have a few, and failed... I ate. About 1.5 bowls of Doritos and 12 cookies. When I got home, I felt guilty because I already had my "cheat meal" of the week the day before, so...

    I hopped on the recumbent bike for 79mins and burned 1,030 calories tonight :D

    I walked 4 miles up a 12% incline today. :D That figures out to be about 6 miles if it was on flat ground!

    I didn't have the best day food wise yesterday but instead of jumping off the bandwagon as usual and just 'starting again on Monday' I kept a positive attitude and started fresh this morning by and doubling my running time :) great way to start off my day and show myself that I am stronger than my food addictions and negative emotions :)
