Share your small wins!

I realized I haven't had a craving for a soda in over two weeks! I've lost a pound over the last week and half an inch off of my waist Not to big of a victory, but it shows i'm heading in the right direction!

Congrats to all these small victories, I have enjoyed reading so many of them!! I think it's hard to see the small victories because we get so caught up! I have a couple small victories as well; I have been making 1 new clean recipe a week and loved them all so far and I have been trying a new circuit for weight training the past couple weeks! It feels good to feel accomplished!!

I've had too many to count. An unexpected one was at 204-208 lbs, my watch band was getting tight. When I dropped to 180, I had a link removed from the band. Now at 170, it's getting loose again.

I'm not so scared when I put Jillian Michaels in the dvd player....

I can wear nice colour skinny jeans instead of dark sensible jeans (no cellulite to spoil the look)

I bought a new belt the other day and chose a medium, had to exchange it today for a small (I'm not a small, the shop is probably a generous sizer) but still!!!! I was a large before :drinker:

So far in the journey the best small win has been when someone saw me the first time in 2 years and didn't recognize me! I had to tell them who I was. It was WONDERFUL!! The response: "You looked familiar but I had no idea it was you!"

That is so amazing everyone!! Keep up the fantastic job!!

For me:
1. I had to put my belt notch from the 5th to the 6th
2. I had to readjust my heart rate monitor strap
3. My size 16 jeans fit HUGE and BAGGY
4. I sleep sooooo much better
5. I feel FANTASTIC about myself and I feel HEALTHY

Congratulations to everyone and their small wins! As for mine, it's likely that I went from my all time high of 250 pounds down to 240.. I was 230 last summer, and right now i'm getting my way back there at a steady pace. Next goal; 220's!

Got a new scale after realizing the old one was not working and I was right and I have lost wieght!!!!

I'm finally the weight I say I am on my driver's license!

Thanks the Lord above, we don't have to list our weight on our driver's license's in NC.

This post made me wonder, "What is the weight listed on my driver's license?" (Note: I haven't driven our car in more than a year...right about the time that I got put back into a wheelchair.)

I was shocked. I actually listed my REAL weight, and I was 280 pounds! Oh my goodness! I forgot how heavy I was in 2011. That's when I got this license.

Currently going through a stressful situation and not comfort eating, which is huge for me! The first sign of trouble and i was at the cakes, this time round I'm still having small treats but cooking more healthy foods in large batches so I can just grab something if I'm hungry and I'm keeping my exercising going too!

Well done to everyone and their own small wins...it's what keeps us going, great stuff keep posting!

Yay for small victories! Congrats to everyone above. This morning my hubby said "I can definitly tell you're losing that belly."
Also people at work are telling me they see a difference :-)
Today at work it was someones birthday and everyone had cake, cupcakes and icecream and punch. I had one spoonful of frosting and walked away to my office to eat my healthy lunch :-) :-)

My weight is now 134.5 lbs and my body length is 6 feet. I am underweight and for me it's very hard to gain weight, but since I keep my food diary I gained 2.2 lbs in one week!! That's my small win!

My goal is 160 lbs

Funny I just posted some. I will share them here too. I loved reading everyone's victories!

Wedding ring and eng ring are starting to slip over my knuckle accidently. I am going to have to put them on a chain for a while. (Not long ago, I could not even wear them as my fingers were too fat for my whopping 10.5 rings) .

I had to move the seat up in my husband's vehicle. I haven't had to do that in years. I have always had to have it all the way back due to my giant rear end "pillow".

I am having to tighten my shoes a lot more each day, shoes that were bought and sized professionally to my feet about 2 months ago. My feet are actually losing weight.

I can cross my legs better and better. I find I sit like that most of the time now. There are some chairs where it is sitll uncomfortable...but fewer and fewer.

Thank you to everyone for sharing your small wins! It was so inspiring to read them all I also have been at this for a while and have a few to post. Some of your posts reminded me what mine were.

1. I lifted my foot up to the side of the tub in order to shave my legs and noticed, "My goodness, there is actually a muscle in my thigh!" I seriously have not seen that in my whole adult life.
2. The day I was able to do 10 REAL pushups!
3. Reaching the weight on my driver's license (which I'm positive was an exaggeration when I put it on there at 16 years old in 1996)
4. Buying "L" instead of "XL" and then "M" and now I can even buy some "S" :happy:

7 weeks of holidays ended and today was the first day of work... first thing my immediate supervisor said when i walked in ? 'OH MY GOSH you got THIN!'

I'm only 15 lb down but feel like a million bucks hehe
