NSV! Let's Hear Yours!

Last night at my husband's company party, someone asked him where his wife was and I was standing right next to him. They didn't recognize me at all from last year.

i had almost the same thing happen to me last year, at my husband's xmas company party. THis one woman, who I've known through the years, our daughters did sports together, was very obviously ignoring me alllllllllll night. Later in the night, she asked my husband to take a picture with her, and finally recognized me. She thought my hubby was there with another woman, and was pissed off at "her". lol

I work in a clothing store too, I have lots of regular customers and on Saturday at least 5 noticed I had lost weight and told me I looked much smaller. My co-workers that see me every day even commented at how many customers were complimenting me.

Yesterday I went shopping for new clothes for work. It may have been the first time ever that everything I tried on was too big and I had to go back out onto the sales floor and get smaller sizes.

nsv this week was going shopping for cloths. when i started i was in a size 40 pants. grabbed a size 38 jeans and they were too big. had to go back and get the 36's. 23 pounds so far and feeling better.

next thing is cardio on the treadmill, started with 60 minutes at 3mph and having hard time completing. now working through it with no problems and my legs dont ache when i am done.

next was when my fitnesspal recalulated my goals and took away another 60 calories i did not even mind as i have been under with no problems on my calories every day. i really feel like i will not miss these calories at all.

i am curious as to what happens once you meet your goal. how will it or i determine how many calories i can have to maintain.

loving this program, i feel good about myself and for the first time in a long while i am looking forward to going to the beach and not having to wear t-shirt on the beach to hide the intertube that was my stomach.

good luck to all out there and the best of luck from north carolina.

I was able to do three sets of 15 wide grip pull-ups in a 5 minute window! I was always the kid in school that couldn't do pull-ups for the physical fitness test and got laughed at. It felt good to knock that out!

At my last weigh-in with my trainer I had GAINED almost 8 LBS and LOST 1% body fat... down to 13.5% !!

That is pure muscle gain... I AM STOKED!!!

Yesterday I was able to put a belt on!! I havent done that in 3 years.

I have held on to a pair of jeans for 4 years in hopes that they would someday fit me again. Yesterday cleaning out my closet I found them and they FIT!!!!!!

Way to go everyone!

Mine was completing my sprint triathlon (750 m swim, 20 km cycle and 5 km run) run-through last night in 1 hr and 45 mins...the run was 7.8 km instead of 5 km, so I am pretty stoked about it now...not as shabby as I thought!

My blood pressure is now 110/65.

My mom gave me a christmas gift that said: "To: Skinny girl, from: mom." On that day, everyone told me how good I was looking. I felt great.

looking in the mirror and seeing that I have a line forming and my waist is coming in... I almost cried!

I needed to purchase a new suit and immediately went for what I thought was my size. Had to try on three different brands before it sunk it to try the smaller size. Sad thing is that I just bought a few size 12 items and it looks like I am in a size 10. This was reinforced when I had to safety pin my brand new size 12 pants this morning.

When I started this I was busting the seems of my 18W!

I lost 1/2 inch in my waist and today was the first Monday in a very long time that I put my wedding rings on and they were loose. Usually I retain so much water on the weekends from eating bad and not drinking my water that I have to force my rings on Monday mornings. Well I ate good all week including the weekend and my rings fit. Small victory but I'll take it!!

I have gone down two pant sizes since starting. At the beginning my husband said that I didn't need to lose weight. I just didn't listen to him lol. My pair of jeans that I bought the first time I went down still kinda fit. They are baggy but they stay up so I still wear them occasionally. But now my husband refers to them as my "fat pants" because they are so big on me. It's great!

The other day I noticed when I was zipping up my size 8's that I didn't have to suck it in anymore! Also my wedding band and engagement ring are getting loose on my finger. My husband's ring is too big on his hand all together so for our anniversary in August we are going to pick out new bands together because aside from my engagement ring the set was very inexpensive. Can't wait for august!
