I'm 5 pounds down so far! Yippeee!
Passing up that cake, pie, ice cream and working out more really helped. I'm more motivated to move more now. I wonder what next week will bring.
Non-scale victory goals for this week:
1) work out five times this week
2) meditate everyday this week
3) do something not related to weight loss or working out that makes me happy at least twice this week0 -
Soosweet12, this trophy is for you!
Your willingness to go back inside and get that workout done shows great mental strength. Like you said, "Your mind took over your body". What an awesome NSV! Seriously, WTG! Yours is the kinds of NSV I want to experience everyday. You're definitely going to reach your goals with that attitude.
Bravo, Soosweet12!0 -

Congrats, Nette!!! I really like the idea of making weekly NSV goals. I think I'm going to copy off of you if you don't mind.
Ladies, I just found a blog that I am absolutely in love with, and I'm just on the third post. You can find it here:
http://motiveweight.blogspot.com/ The site is very motivational! I encourage you ladies to check it out. It's started by a woman named Linda James. In addition to blogging, it looks like she also creates inspirational weight loss pics. I always wondered who did those. She has other blogs listed on her page. Looks like a winner! I'm subbing.0 -

Hey ladies happy to say im down a pound...yay

My NSV after each 10lb loss is going to be a full body massage. One more pound to go...which will be done this week. Lol
Congrats to everyone on this journey, let's do it together. .0 -
I had a great NSV today. I was cleaning out a closet and found a dress I bought last year that I loved but when I got it home I couldn't zip it up in the back. Loved the dress so decided to keep it anyway. Well I decided to try it on today. It zipped up with no problem. Still a little tight but it fit. What a nice surprise! Hopefully this will be reflected in Monday's weigh in!!!0

PS - If any of you have a NSV or weight loss victory that I've missed, or if you are new to the challenge and I didn't give you a shout out - PLEASE send me a message so that I can acknowledge you. I don't want to seem like I'm ignoring anyone, and this system doesn't alert me when new posts are made. Please know that any omissions are purely accidental!
Have a great day all!0 -
My delivery notice from USPS says that my Turbo Jam and Brazil Butt Lift DVDs are at the post office, but my post office told me that they are not there. I hope they get this straight - I want to start my workouts this week.0

Thank you for the shout out Yana:flowerforyou:
I've decided to shake up my routine a little since I've only had a very small weight loss the last 2 weeks. I'm going to continue to walk but I'm also adding strength training 2 days a week and zumba 2 days a week. I believe my body needs a change. An MFP pal sent me a link to a total body strength training session that looks doable and I have zumba dvds that I purchased last year. Maybe these changes will make a difference.
Great day ladies...let's do this!0 -
Thanks Yana!!! You are such a Great group leader!! We LOVE YOU!!!0

I have to share...I'm working at home today so my neighbor and I went to the park and walked 2 miles at lunch. She suggested we jog a little on each of our laps. We jogged on 4 of the 5 laps. Not a lot but I was still proud of both of us. I haven't jogged in 2 years.0
