What NSV did you have this week?

1. I made it an entire week eating a vegetarian diet - challenging myself to do 8 weeks and this was week one. I feel more energetic and less sluggish so it's working for me so far.

2. I walked on the treadmill at the gym everyday this week for 15 min and did not feel sore or achy from it. Managed to go swimming afterwards as well for an hour. (Back in March when I tried the treadmill I couldn't do 5 min without hurting all over so hadn't tried it again til this past week).

3. When I stand up straight and look down I can see my toes - can't wait til I can see my whole foot!

4. The pants I bought three weeks ago are starting to slide.

And the one that I liked the best

5. My doctor is so impressed with my progress she is going to try eating clean herself. (I had lost almost 30 pounds between doctor visits in three months). Doctor said she is quitting sugar, processed foods and going to just eat fruits, veggies, lean meats and whole grains. I see her again on Tuesday for my blood test results so I'll find out how she's doing then.
I am just flattered that she is looking at me as a role model for healthy eating.

Another pair of jeans is way to large to wear.

Had the same thing happen:D.

This week I finished week 3 of the Couch to 5K running program and was able to run in 3 minute increments faster than I have in a very long time. So excited for next week!

My roommate offered me onion rings yesterday and I ate one. That's right, just one. I mean, we're talking about ONION RINGS here people.

I'm a superhero.

Went to put my scrubs on for work tonight (bought four weeks ago) and they won't stay up. The girls at work haven't complained yet about seeing my underwear every time I bend over. Sorry NOT!!!!!

My husband complained that my 9 year old daughter left her underwear on our bed. It was mine, not hers.

I've trashed all of my granny panties.

I decided to buy myself a couple pair of jeans. The first pair are three sizes smaller than my "interview pants" I wrote about earlier. The other pair are six sizes smaller. I bought them small hoping that working to get them to fit would spark some motivation in me to break out of the funk I've been in lately. (the "interview pants" http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/893535-the-interview-pants)

The jeans arrived yesterday so I naturally went and tried them on. I didn't expect the two sides to touch. I was pretty shocked when not only was I able to get them buttoned, I was able to get the entire fly buttoned as well.

I'm still a ways from being able to comfortably wear them but was pretty excited to have them on. (Just for reference, the jeans I was able to button are 9 sizes (18") smaller in the waist that the pants I wore starting out.) Not sure if they're still a "cool" jean, but I'll be sporting my Levi's button fly 501's a lot sooner than I expected.

My husband said my shorts were too big on me and that they should be donated.

I wore pants to work that have never fit me. I bought them without trying them on. They are loose on me.

Jeans zipped up and buttoned that I haven't worn for at least 3 years. They're super tight but they fit.

Sat in the wifes Toyota pickup and was able to buckle the seatbelt without leaving the door open to have enough space.

Great job!

Interesting term, None Scale Victory. Let's reflect on this week:

1 - The biggest one is that I greatly expanded my running from barely one time per week (+-6 km) to three times per week (+-40 km total). I am considering adding a fourth run and a 4 or 5 kilometres to that this evening..
2 - Connected to #1 - Since this week I am regaining the confidence in my own body. My main motivation for losing weight was to become more effective at sports (and moving around in general). I am impressed by my abilities, and I am just over halfway with my weight loss, so it's exiting to think about my abilities when I am at 80 kg, or after that, when I've been exercising for a lot of time.
3 - Quite some friends noticed that I lost weight. Did not happen a lot before this week. And I've already lost so 13.5 kg!
4 - I quit smoking this week. I fell back, but because I am losing weight and exercising now, I decided that smoking does not fit my life - you might say it makes me less fit .
5 - I am surprised when I look in the mirror - while the scale doesn't show me my weight loss, it's always going up and down for 10 to 15 days until I lose one to two kilograms, then it does the same again at a lower level, the mirror does show it to me!

I am starting to get hit on by guys on a regular basis, given the nod of approval at the gym after an intense elliptical session, and even though BMI is considered Scale Victory I am no longer Extremely Obese but just Obese now. Yes that makes me happy because I am on my way!

I didn't put myself down
My capris are falling off
I added weight to my bench press
and I also had a scale victory

-upped the weight I'm lifting at the gym (again)
-wore jeans that have been tight but this week they weren't
-put on a jacket that I had (in the past) have to pull down over my belly, this time it just slid down on it's own over my belly
-a few times this week I've missed my lunch workouts so have had to double up after work and didn't "DIE" after 2 hours of working out!

Fit into size 16 jeans for the first time in at least 2 years :bigsmile:

I ran a seven minute mile this week. Not all that impressive, but it's been many years since I did it.

Don't sell yourself short... that is AWESOME!!
