What NSV did you have this week?

I went into the doctor's thinking I was sick, and when they weighed me, I weighed less.

Come to find out too, I'm not sick, I'm pregnant.

1. On Wednesday at the gym. I grabbed two 25 pound plates to do my crunches and this guy who was watching me said "you grabbed those like they didn't weigh anything." I was thinking to myself that they are only 25 pounds...that's not much. And then I thought, they are 25 pounds and it did feel like nothing! Yeah me! Then I spent the rest of my workout grinning like an idiot.
2. On Thursday, I had one person at work stop me to tell me how great I am looking and another person on the train as well.
3. This morning, I had two guys hit on me when I went to Dunkin Donuts for my iced coffee. These guys are sitting out there most days so they have seen me walking past every day from when I started this adventure. It was too bad neither one was my type.

I have been at this for 17 months. I lost around 60 pounds in the first 11 months and have only lost 5 or so in the last 6 months. So my ego really needed this boost this week.

Come to find out too, I'm not sick, I'm pregnant.

Congratulations!

I had three
1. My doctor took me off the High Blood pressure meds
2. I am fitting into my hidden in the back of the closet bucket full of clothes.
3. I lost 1 inch of my waist and 1 off my hips!
I'm doing a happy dance today

Not to diminish anyone's successes, but the getting off the BP meds is the best one I've seen this week. Way to go!!!

This is the one I'm waiting patiently for for my husband. He's been on BP meds for a couple years and I would just love his health to improve to not needing it.

You're going to like this one too then. My doctor switched me off Janumet which is 2 diffent diabetic meds in one pill to just one of the ingredients in it. Metformin. He's also taken me off 3 other medications since Sept 20, 2012.

Finally, someone noticed my weight loss at work! I'm down almost 50 lbs, with at least 50 more to go...

All my pants are loose, so I need to get to the used stores to see if I can find some more. I'm not prepared to pay full price for pants that I KNOW won't fit me next year. tops are pretty baggy too, but they aren't in danger of falling off. My pants just might be

Took waist and hip measurements this morning - both are down 1 more inch. That's 7 inches from my hips!

I went from 0 pushups to 5. Sooo if i extrapolate that 500% increase, in a couple of weeks I should be doing thousands.

I also fit into a couple of my brothers shirts - much to his chagrin.

1. I lost 2 inches off my waist and 3 off my hips since my last measurement
2. I wore a scrub top I haven't worn in years because it was too tight and now fits
3. My boss told me she was walking behind me one morning and thought "who is that?" she didn't recognize me because my shape has changed!

Hit 34 inches on the box jump - almost half my height!

Last night my wife made cupcakes for the kids. The wonderful smell permeated the entire house. In a surge of willpower I passed on eating one. I even sat at the table talking with the kiddos while they enjoyed their tasty dessert (+1).

Then today after getting back from my lunchtime run, I found myself in the kitchen all alone with a plate of said cupcakes. They were sitting on the counter all cute with their decorated icing tops. I could totally scarf one and no one would ever be the wiser. Instead I gave the little ba$tards a mental middle finger and had my organic pb&j on a wheat tortilla and a bowl of veggies (+1).

It was delicious and afterwards I was very full. It hit me at that moment that my "lunch" today would have barely been a snack just six weeks ago.

Thank you MFP members. You are fantastic

Had to go to the doctor for blood work. I asked to be weighed. The doctor's scale was a little more than 6 lbs under what my scale reads. I'm still going by my scale for accuracy, but it put me teasingly close to my one year goal. I got emotional because I'm still going in the right direction, even though I felt like I'd plateaued for most of this month.

put on my tight jeans that I wear around the house to remind myself not to eat--and they were too loose and baggy--hubby said they looked all saggy.

put on capris that were SOOOO tight last year that I couldn't ride a mechanical bull in them--again--loose and saggy.

FINALLY am in the NORMAL BMI category--by the skin of my teeth--but I am there, and am 1.43% away from being classed as FIT in body fat %.

Go me!

Moved the car seat up a notch. Have owned the car for nearly 5 years, never did that before!

Got a page of coupons for Jets Pizza (best pizza in the world!) when I got home from class a few days ago and instead of ordering some then and there like I wanted to, tossed it in the recycling bin and made dinner myself.

Walked past the box of donuts at the IT desk this afternoon without taking a single one (donuts are my one greatest downfall...I never manage to say no).

Felt totally confident yesterday wearing a hip- and *kitten*-hugging dress that made me feel super self-conscious last year.

Said "no" to a second dinner last night.

I opened the door to the stairway, startling the woman on the other side of the door as she reached for the handle. A second woman was just reaching the top of the stairway coming from the floor below. Woman #1 looked at Woman #2 (stair-climber) and said “Good for you, climbing the stairs!” “Yeah I’m trying to climb them more often,” said woman #2, “because I want to look like her!” (as she pointed at me!)

Woot!
