    great topic, loving the replies :)

    i managed yesterday to add in 3 sets of 10 push ups to my workout (30 sec breaks)
    never built up to it, just know that a few weeks ago i struggled to do 10 on its own, but decided to just have a go and had my YAAAY moment when i completed

    was tough though, really hurt by the last push up

    On Saturday night I wore a dress that I bought in 2009. I wore it to my brothers wedding with full support underwear on but haven't worn it since as I had put on too much weight.
    At the weekend I fit in it again but this time didn't need the support underwear - had a fab night, felt sexy and sassy and have never had so many men wanting to dance with me!!I
    It sounds a shallow NSV but I'm feeling sexy and good about myself for the first time in my 44 years so I'm pleased

    I went to a birthday party this weekend and several ppl told me they did not recognize me at first glance. The best part was, one of those ppl was my mom.

    I ran a 5k yesterday in 26:02. Last year, I did c25k and my time was 33 mins. I've lost 7 minutes (and 30 pounds) in a year!

    Yesterday I did 1,000 crunches along with my regular easy workout, that is half way to my goal. I want to be able to do 2,000 as easily as I did the 1,000. I also got out and planted about 20 blue spruce and pine trees to beautify my property, which is just a yay 'cause it makes me smile.

    Three things:
    1) I've stopped clearing my plate at dinnertime because I've been managing my daytime hunger more efficiently :) I used to SCARF my food down, and I'd finish my meal 20 minutes before my boyfriend. And last night, he finished well before me - and he ate half of my mini apple pie dessert.
    2) I put on a blazer that I haven't been able to button closed in a year
    3) I have calves! I got caught eye-balling them though, so that was a little embarrassing...

    Congrats to everyone- these are great!!

    I've had a few yay's of my own this week

    1. I can do TWO regular non girl push ups!! They're puny but they're there! I couldn't even do one three weeks ago.
    2. My boobs stick out further than my tummy now!
    3. A coworker said she's noticed that I've gotten trimmer. Woohoo!

    The harder I work, the more NSV's I have. It's so rewarding!

    My YAY moment. When I started doing Zumba in February all I could do was 10 minutes. I have a lower back pain and a bad knee. I have been jogging .5 mile and then doing my 45 minute Zumba dvd. Last night I jogged 1 mile and then did my 45 minute Zumba dvd.
    Felt so great!!!

    I went to a wedding yesterday and one of the bride's friends (whom I haven't seen in about two years) made her way over to me to give me a hug, and to say "You look SO tiny, oh my goodness, wow, just beautiful" - so of course that me smile!! :) It was also the first social event in I don't know how long where I let pictures of myself be taken!!!!

    Fit into a size 16 (american) this weekend! Down 5 sizes so far. I had bought a pair of capris a month ago that were a size 16 because they were on sale. Tried them on, they zipped up, felt amazing!

    The summer pants that were cutting off my circulation last year are falling down by themselves, while buttoned! :smooched:

    I love reading these "Yay" stories...this is awesome and very motivating! My latest success would have to be I am fitting in a size 6 (maybe even a size 4) now. Last summer, I was a size 12...and I have never been less than a size 10, until now.

    I bought my first pair of size 6 jeans!! Very exciting considering the jeans I had to get rid of were size 12!! Yes....I waited a LONG time to replace clothes....when even belts were struggling to hold the pants up, ya know they are just WAY too big!!

    I know just what you mean!! I held onto my size 10's far longer than I should have, they were super baggy on me, and finally went out and got myself a pair of jeans that would fit. I ended up buying two pairs of size 6 in April - then ended up going back in late May to get two pairs of size 5's because they actually fit better!!!! Super Huge Woot!

    I turned 41 today, and this is the outfit I wore when I turned 21.

    Wouldn't wear it out anywhere, but I think I still do it justice.

    Go girl! :)

    Saturday was my long run...and I did 7 miles:) I've never done 7 miles before. I was sore, but it was worth it.

    Congratulations on all of the fabulous success stories. It has been a while since I last posted. I am down 85 pounds since August 2012. I went from a tight size 18 to a lose size 6. I topped the scale at 217 and I am currently down to 130. I am off my HBP medications and I no longer have pulmonary hypertension or sleep apnea. I am doing Zumba 4 nights a week and I walk 1.5 miles daily with my co-workers on our lunch break. My current goal is to maintain, tone and stay healthy! I am enjoying life for the first time in years! I am looking forward to the warmer weather and finally being able to enjoy trips to the water park, pool, and beach without feeling self conscious and my feet and knees aching!
