    Had to take out a link in my watch band because it was so loose. My wedding ring is getting looser, too. I can shake my hand and it will go flying off. Speaking of, anyone have any quick fixes for loose rings? I don't want to have it resized until I'm at GW.

    Last night after dinner me, my boyfriend and our two kids went on a walk to the playground. We played for a while and then it was time to walk back. My son (5 years old and 45 pounds) was "tired of walking" so I offered a piggy back ride. I successfully carried him the remainder of the way home without breaking a sweat or even breathing heavily. I am not at goal weight but I suppose I hadn't realized how fit I have gotten even if the scale isn't where I want it to be quite yet...

    A. Didn't go to the gym on Monday like I had planned, and for the first time in my life I missed it and felt bad. Old me always felt relief when I skipped the gym.

    B. Since I've been working out more regularly, my hunger has increased and I get as I call it the munchies monster between breakfast and lunch. I recognized the problem, knew what I had to do, increased my protein with breakfast this morning, and no munchies monster bothering me today. Old me would've just kept snacking all morning until lunch.

    That is so cool! I bet it felt really great to be so strong.

    You might be able to buy something to go around the band under your finger to make it fit better. My gram just wrapped tape around the band several times, but I'm sure that would A. be difficult to get off, and B. leave a gross residue. She doesn't want to pay to have it resized, but I'm pretty sure they make and sell something that will go around the band.

    While swimming, I suddenly dropped into a different stroke while doing freestyle, where my breathing and arms just meshed and I was able to do about five lengths without a rest. I did an hour, which is my longest time so far. I am pretty sure we are going again tonight with the kids.

    I feel so strong that it's heady! I can just FEEL these arm, back, shoulder, leg, butt and ab muscles under my skin and it feel so great.

    I love this topic. I think it is the best one I've come across. So inspiring.

    this is such a great topic to boost motivation beyond the scale :) My first NSV came last week when I went to a play with my family and about one hour into the show I realized I was crossing my legs. I hadn't been comfortable doing that in a long, long time....I almost teared up while I sat there.

    I just bought last week new blouses (ones that would fit me better, I have lots of loose ones) and I wore one for the first time... and when I met with my brother to do some shopping, he said that he did not recognised me at first... in a good way.
    It's so nice to hear you lost weight from people that see you most often. :D

    my NSV

    i've come to accept that it doesnt matter now how long it takes for the weight to come off

    initially when i joined i wanted the weight to come off like yesterday, but today im at peace with my weight loss progress.

    im lighter, my clothes fit better, im exercising again

    im at a point where i can just continue with my good habits and forget about it

    food choices has not been a difficult topic because i decided when i started that i wasn't going to change the kinds of food i was eating

    Today, I jumped my horse for the first time. In a treeless saddle. Because I was no longer over the weight limit for that!

    Last night I actually volunteered to go downstairs (three sets) to our basement to retreive hubby's clothes from dryer.... I ran down them, filled the laundry basket and walked back up, didn't stop at the landing as is the usual, and once I reached our bedroom I set the basket down and realized my chest wasn't heaving and I wasn't out of breath and dying. That was cool.

    I ran 7 kms this morning with 2 long hills. That is a lifetime best distance for me.

    I buttoned a pair of size 14 pants today. They are still too tight to wear comfortably, but I have been a size 16/18 for the last 3 years, so I consider that major progress for about a month and a half on my journey. :-)

    In yoga today for the FIRST time ever, I could actually drop my overhead arm behind my back in extended right-angle pose and reach my supporting arm under my leg and touch my fingers together! My stomach has always been too big to do this, so I smiled to myself in shock that I can finally at least touch my fingers of one hand to another!!!

    I had two co-workers comment on my weight loss - they said it was noticeable! :happy:

    I started MFP in February and it convinced my dad to start logging his calories too! He's lost 12lbs in 50 days :)

    Glad I can help him get healthier so he will be around longer for the rest of the family :)

    10 regular push ups. When I started I could only do 2 knee push ups.
    Less weight to lift, and stronger muscles too!

    On the down side, my former skinny clothes now fit, but are horrifically out of fashion.

    Great NSV's. I went to the doctor and the nurse asked me if I was a runner after she took my blood pressure and heart rate, because "only runners have heart rates that low." I like that nurse!!

    that's so fun! I broke out some shorts I couldn't wear last summer, and they are almost too big this year!
