    I ran .25 mile without stopping outside. I know, it's not far, but it's far for me. I'm not a runner! lol

    Shorts that I bought two months ago are pretty loose around my stomach! I was showing my sister my new belly button ring and she told me I needed a belt! :)

    1. I completed a 35 mile bike ride (so far, my longest)!
    2. I was able to buckle my belt a notch tighter!

    Congrats on all of your NSVs...that's an awesome feeling!

    I went from two chin's back down to one! I haven't seen one chin on me since boot camp graduation almost 4 YEARS ago. :blushing:

    I put on a pair of jean to go out to dinner with the family and my daughter made me go change because they looked so baggy. They were my size 8's :):)

    I was able to bike 10.13 miles in 30.43 minutes...

    I bought Ben and Jerry's Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz ice cream and was content to stop after 3 bites instead of eating the whole pint :)

    wearing a vest top today and realising that when I put my arms up I can see the definition of lots of muscles in my arms - not just bingo wings hanging down!

    My tightest new pants (which I bought 3 months ago to replace my old fat pants), which I haven't worn in a while, are now starting to be a little loose.

    My co-worker's wife, who hasn't seen me in a while, told me I'd lost weight and asked me to start bringing her husband to the gym with me.

    Ran UP the ramp at the train station to just catch the train as the doors were closing.
    6 months ago I would of said "F... it, I'll wait for the next one" and then been later home missing out on my kids before they go to bed.

    - Completed my first week of C25K even though it was 28C/82F outside (not a fan of the heat)
    - Went to an outdoor swimming pool for the first time in YEARS, in my bikini, and didn't feel like crying

    I have NEVER been a runner (partly because of asthma-partly because I always give up) but yesterday I ran a half a mile without stopping. :-) This was after my weight lifting workout. I am determined to become a runner!

    I've lost a lot of weight over the past year, and my goal has now switched from losing fat to gaining muscle. so this week I took my "before lifting" photos of my different muscle groups. And my NSV was that I actually had some muscles already! ha. I really loved the way my back looked. It really pumped me up to look at it and be pleased. I can only imagine how happy I will be in a few months :) woohoo!

    Great job! Took me a month to be able to run a full mile without stopping--my first time I could only run 0.2 miles (to the end of the cul-de-sac).

    I've trashed all of my granny panties.

    That's one of my non-scale goals. Ratty, ugly undies (and bra) into the trash. Shopping spree at... I don't even know. Where do small women buy cute underthings?

    It's all about Victoria's Secret girl. Their bras and panties are amazing! And you feel so sexy in them.

    I'm just starting to get back in the swing of things, so my NSVs are pretty minor...
    1.) Made it through 10 days without soda
    2.) No fast food in 10 days (and I really don't miss it)
    3.) Started to incorporate exercise - walked last night, this morning, and just got back from another, albeit short, walk

    Can't wait to start having some of the major NSVs taht you are all having. I know it'll come with time :smile:

    I did a 5 mile run that finished in the London Olympic Stadium with 20,000 cheering spectators including my closest friends. Not a lot of things in this world will EVER top that experience for me considering that back in December I could not have even walked 5 miles! Fantastic!

    That's how it starts - changes like the ones your are making :) I wouldn't consider those minor at all!

    Classmate saw me at the grocery store and said "Holy crap you are looking so skinny" Hey, I'm not skinny but that means I am a lot smaller since the end of school!

    I've had several NSV's in the last 4 weeks. I had a baby on June 19th and every person that has seen me since then has said that I don't even look like I just had a baby.
    I expect to hear great things like that from family, but I've had complete strangers ask me how old my baby is and when I tell them, they look at me and don't believe that I'm the one that just had the baby! I took my son to his doctor appointment and a lady on the elevator said "wow! you look great for just having a baby!!!"
    I've lost the 25 pounds I gained and an additional 4 pounds so far and have fit into my prepregnancy jeans since about 2 weeks post partum.
    All I can say is that I got really LUCKY this time because when I had my daughter 2 years ago I was wearing maternity clothes until 9 months AFTER I had her. I haven't done anything different other than this time I am chasing after a 2 year old all day instead of putting my feet up to relax when I'm tired!

    Managed to fit into a tailor-made pencil skirt which was too tight around the butt area when I got it last year!

    I could fit into a pair of shorts that were way too tight when I tried them on 3 weeks ago from today! Such a great feeling of success!

    I went to a meeting. Usually I'd have to make sure I got a chair without arms so my *kitten* would fit into the chair. Today I went to a meeting and I fit in EVERY chair regardless of arms or not. Win!

    Not this week, but two weeks ago I bought size 12 pants from the JUNIOR section to wear to a calling hours. I also bought a shirt from Old Navy in a size L for same said calling hours, and a blazer in size M. This is from 16/18 or even size 20 pants and XL/XXL shirts. It was an AWESOME feeling. I actually yelled out in the dressing room "THEY FIT!!" when those darn pants zipped, and of course I had to buy them...

    This week, the cleaning lady at my work told me that I am looking so good and an officer (I'm a police dispatcher) pulled me out into the kitchen to ask if I was losing weight. These are the kind of things that make me keep going.

    1. I don't see my husband very often (weird i know), he works swing shift (4pm - 12am) and i work days (7am - 4pm)... He woke up early with me for the first time since i have been working out, looked at my stomach and said you are getting skinny!!! He told me he needs to watch out or i will leave him for someone more suited for me! Hah! Win!

    2. a coworker said i am looking skinnier and asked if i would go with her clothes shopping, she told me everything is starting to look too big on me :)

    3. Also - another coworker said i am looking thinner - she stopped me in the middle of the lunch room in front of a bunch of people - a few people asked me how i was doing it

    This week has been good :)

    1. I ran a mile without stopping!!! It's not much, but it's a start!!
    2. Realized today I can go down a size in shirts
    3. My scrub pants are getting very baggy!


    That might not be much to a marathon runner, but to those of us who can't run a minute without feeling like death that's a great feat! Congrats! I can't wait until my scrubs get baggy instead of tight some days and kinda fitting others. Congrats!
