    When I had to drop something off to my partner at work, I was on my way to the gym in my work out clothes. One of my friends who works for my partner poked me in the stomach and said 'There's no wobble-factor any more!"

    fit into my "skinny" shorts!

    i've always been hippy, and wore a size 9 even at my lightest weight of 135 lbs. i'm almost 20 lbs heavier than my "skinny weight" (even though i've lost 25 lbs so far) and can fit into the 9's again! with NO MUFFIN TOP! WHOO! i'm barely over the halfway mark, but the fat must have redistributed and i've leaned up a bit, bc they fit great! =D

    Fit into a size smaller jeans !!! I am overseas, but if I was home, I would rush right out now and try on all sorts of sizes just to smile at myself and give God the glory for what He has done in me :)

    1. went to the gym 3 times plus 2.5 hr walk every day
    2. need to invest into some belts as pants I bought 3 months ago are falling off
    3. donated 3 bags of clothing (too big) to charity
    4. pulled out my M clothing out of storage bags and replenished my wardrobe with things I have not worn in a few years (still in fashion though, haha)
    5. have not had fast food or soft drink (since 1.11.12)

    1. Realised that I had ankles not cankles
    2. Had takeaway pizza for the first time in months and made up the calories throughout the week
    3. Have achieved my lunchtime walk and evening walk most days this week
    4. Having to buy (UK) size 14 clothes. At my heaviest I was a size 20 - 22
    5. Achieving a more positive outlook
    6. Being able to enjoy food but finding a healthier way of doing it i.e lower cal snacks, bulking meals out with veggies
    7. Cooking from scratch most nights this week and last week
    8. Ditching my lazy 'cba' attitude and getting on and doing it....even when I'm tired or have had a rubbish day at work
    9. Despite a very challenging couple of weeks, I haven't turned to food for comfort (I used to be a huge emotional eater)
    10. Make a start on a plan for the other areas of my life that need attention

    Wow! That's quite a list :-) That makes me very happy indeed!

    - in the grocery store last night my husband was walking behind me & he said, "your butt is getting smaller"

    - my cell rang yesterday & my 9 year old answered it. he told my sister, " mom cant talk to you right now she's on her bike thing, she's going to make it to 60 minutes without stopping because she's a BOSS!!

    ^^ and i DID!!

    Yay - kids are ace and you did well. WELL DONE!

    had to send back two size UK Size 20 outfits from different suppliers as too big. The 18s are slightly tight but another 3 months will sort that out.

    Meeting someone from my workplace whom I had not seen for a year and she asked me how I had lost weight

    My trainer commenting on how much weight I had lost from my face

    And all this with only around 20 pounds lost but many inches. I just wish I could get over my scale obsession as, with intense weight training, the scales won't shift but I am dropping dress sizes. Ho hum!

    I switched to a smaller bra size, yesterday. Yay! (Now to decide what to do with the "old" ones --that aren't very old at all... Wish I knew someone who needed them.)

    There is a charity that donates them to the third world - http://www.againstbreastcancer.org.uk/get-involved/fundraising/recycling/513/bra-recycling/

    or just try googling in your area to see what schemes they have

    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.

    And look at how much your chance of sex has increased! Baha your ticker made me laugh!

    Did a 20 mile bike ride for the second time with a friend, vast improvement in going round the route! Rode without stopping for much longer than the first time and that's in the space of a week! Was very proud of myself :)))

    I was walking with my husband and our dog and got a rock in my shoe. I reached down and plucked it out and kept walking. My husband stopped, and said "do you realize that you just reached your feet?" I hadn't even thought about it! Last summer I would have had to ask for his help to remove the rock and replace the shoe. That was a biggee for me.

    Also my swim suit had gotten too big, so I dug into the bottom drawer and pulled out some old ones that I had outgrown years ago and found one that fit. One of those old ones was too big, too.

    I went into Just Jeans and tried on 'Skinny Jeans' and had to go down two sizes! woooooohoooooo

    But I held off buying them as I don't want to fork out $80 and then find they don't fit in another month or two, but what a thrill!

    Any improvement is a good one. :-) Don't sell yourself short. Not eating the snickers bars is a great thing if that's your usual thing to do during golf league. Breaking the habbit and forming new ones is the beginning. :-)

    1. Fit into a pair of capris, a dress and a skirt that were too tight for the past two years -- but kept "just in case"
    2. Realized that I can run at a decent pace for quite the distance and feel pretty good -- at the beginning of the year a one minute jog was demanding
    3. Increased my hand weights from 3lbs to 6lbs for Week 1 Day 4 of Ripped in 30 -- and felt good afterwards
    4. The strapless bridesmaid dress that I had to buy in my biggest size ever actually barely stays up -- will need to get it altered for my sister's wedding. Woohoo!
    5. Because of my great success over the past 60 days, my husband is joining the "get healthy" bandwagon (this is one of my goals on my profile page)

    Went on vacation and people I hadn't seen in a year told how great I looked, and someone said I was half the size I used to be.
    Found two shirts this summer I had put away at some point, still had the price tags on them, they now fit me perfectly

    Dunno if this counts as a NSV, but my for dinner tonight (still live with parents unfortunately), mom made grilled chicken, Kraft Dinner Mac and Cheese, and Green Beans.

    Weird, right?

    I offered to make Quinoa instead for everyone because KD is sooo bad for you. No one wanted it. So instead of just going with it, I cooked Quinoa for myself and stayed the hell away from the delicious KD!

    I went to the doctor today to get my blood work results. My last test was 8 weeks ago.... I would call this a HUGE NSV:

    In just 60 days my numbers went like this:

    Lost 7 pounds..... was hoping for more, but 7 is OK

    A1c went from 10.2 to 7.4

    Triglycerides went from 390 to 210

    Blood Sugar went from 290 to get this....... 128.

    Blood Pressure went from 130 / 90 to 124 /74...... and I actually had not taken my BP medicine yet today.

    So, if you are new, and not sure about this whole low carb "thing", and need a push, hopefully I just gave you a big SHOVE!!!

    I love you all, who have put up with my whining so much early on about not losing weight..... It has not been an easy 2 months, but looking at those numbers, it has been an INCREDIBLE 2 months.

    And, to top it all off, my doctor said that if I keep at this, she could see me being off all my meds by early next year.

    My first NSV....

    Never having to say I weigh more than 400lb ever again.

    I think this one is my favorite. Awesome job!

    I went shopping and didn't have to buy the biggest size in the "big girl" store any more. In fact when the girl came over to help me and I said I was looking for a certain size of a top on display, she said, "Oh no, you don't wear that size.. you need at least a size down". And she was right :-)

    *Realised today that regular portions that I would usually have for supper have been too much to eat for three days in a row... will have to remember this and reduce portion size! (Uncomfortable from eating too much)
    *Fit into gorgeous jeans that I bought online two years ago ( but that never fit) they fit today! YEA!
    *Lastly .....went for a walk this evening and it was cooler out so I dug out my spring and fall jacket that was too snug in the spring... now it is loose...feels great!!
