    This week's NSV is that I registered for and participated in a charity bike event. [I bought my bike as a reward for losing 100 lbs about a month ago]. We were given jerseys. I showed up, biked, and wore the completely unforgiving cycling jersey. Now it's my icon.

    My fiance telling me that I feel "like nothing!" when I am on top, but he meant it in a good way, like he can move me around so easily it amazes him. Sorry if that's TMI!

    Not exactly a victory... but after an exceptionally bad alcohol experience Sunday night into Monday, I spent a good day and a half trying to recover and figure WTF was wrong with me. Then I realized my weight loss over the past 9 months had totally changed a lifetime's worth of alcohol tolerance.

    Dude! I understand. Mine wasn't alcohol related this time...but I ate these icebox dessert things, which amounted to about a cup or so of pudding and 6 chocolate graham crackers and I was in the bathroom for an hour and thought WTF is going on then realized my body has changed, and isn't used to crappy food.

    Completed the Week 1 Day 1 of C25K without stopping! I ran each 60 second interval to the fullest (slowly...but I did it). I weigh 289 pounds and I DID IT!!!

    My NSV this week: I didn't have ANY taco bell. That's huge for me. I tend to crave their nachos like crazy and they're my go-to when I've had a long day or feel depressed and want to stuff my face. Instead I've been driving straight home and reminding myself of all the food I prepared ahead of time so that I wouldn't fall into those old horrible habits again.

    My running has been been very sporadic lately. My husband and I ran on Saturday, and I could still do 20 minutes without stopping. I really thought I was going to have to back up on c25k, so I am very happy.

    Also, did 5:2 tis week (week 2).

    Nice one. I crave taco bell, too.

    I have two this week! :bigsmile:

    Friday I went to a grand-reopening party at the club my fiancé works at, and had my new black dress on. I put a picture of us on Facebook and got several comments from friends along the lines of "you look great" and "your hard work is paying off"

    I also started going through old jeans that I had packed away, and I found I can now wear SEVERAL pairs of jeans that I have not worn in years.

    :smile:

    I bought Zumba Fitness for the Wii about 18 months ago and it came with this free Zumba tshirt which was waaaaay too small for me. It was so tight, it fit like spandex!

    I found it in the back of the wardrobe today so I wore it, to a two hour Zumbathon in aid of breast cancer....it fit perfectly! :bigsmile:

    Congrats on doing 2 HOURS of Zumba AND in being able to fit into the tshirt. I know how bad that feels to not be able to fit into the "standard" size of those give-away things. I did the COlor Run in May of this year, and the largest size of tshirt didn't fit me. It was humiliating......and i still can't fit into it properly - - but one of these days i will. Thanks for the inspiration!

    1. Ran for 2-10 minute stretches today during my C25k workout! Only had to run for 8. I might actually be starting to enjoy running!
    2. Ran into an old co-worker of my husbands' this weekend and she asked how much weight I've lost.
    3. Skyped with my sister today for the first time in about 4-5 months and she said I looked skinny.
    4. My other sister (10 years younger) came over yesterday and said you can really tell I've lost weight and she asked what size I was wearing now. I'm smaller than her for the first time ever!

    This is wonderful thread :)
    For me there are many N S V for the last 10 days
    1) My wedding ring is rotating around my finger now which didn't happen anytime since my wedding , the ring was sooo tight on my finger
    2) I wear a size 22 pants and I used to squeeze myself in them , now they are loose and I feel comfy in them
    3) I am able to walk for 60 minutes non-stop on the treadmill on 5.5 kph without feeling I'm gonna die
    4) I luv this one , passing by the food court in the nearby shopping mall and not even thinking of eating anything even if I was hungry , I go back home and cook a healthy meal instead of munching fries and sandwiches

    My ideal arm inspiration and her husband came up to me at the gym and said "I hope you don't mind us saying this, but we just wanted to tell you that your are looking great and we were just thinking that your clothes must feel looser"

    OMG....I smiled through my entire session.

    Was at the doctor today and they told me that both my blood pressure and pulse are nice and low which is a good sign of being active! I've only ever had people telling me that everything is too high so it was a nice change :)

    When I'm at home I usually wear jogging bottoms, which just pull up and down, without the need to undo them. One day last week I pulled my trousers down, then realized that I was still wearing my work trousers, and I'd pulled them down without undoing the buttons and zip!

    I managed to zip up a goal shirt. It's still too tight, and I'd never wear it in public like that, but darn it....it zipped!

    My NSV is that yesterday I fitted into a pair of pants and a jacket that I couldn't fit into a month ago. I'm so proud of myself :-)

    I went from doing no exercise 3 weeks ago and drinking and smoking during the week, to clocking up over 500 minutes of exercise last week and drinking water not beer when I get in!

    My goal was only 300!

    I'm having to get my wedding ring re-sized. I seemed to have lost all my weight from my teddy bear hands

    I'm going to have to do the same thing soon!

    Great job all!
    My NSV this week is that I can now fit in a size 10 (juniors) jeans/shorts. Last summer I was inbetween a 15-17. I look in the mirror and still see the same girl I seen a year ago, but yesterday when I fit my big bum into those 10's I almost cried.

    I am down a hole in my belt! YES! I may actually need to go and buy new pants soon. Plus! I bought size 8 shorts for the first time in FOREVER! So excited!

    I've been lifting very heavy, doing compound lifts with free weights to failure. My neighbor remarked that I look thinner, even though the scale really hasn't moved much. At a golf outing on Saturday I blasted a drive 300 yards. That's the farthest I've ever hit (I usually hit about 240-250). Yay for strength training!

    Did my first set of 5 deadlifts at 100kg yesterday.

    I like lifting heavy things.

    Got to the gym and realised I had the wrong shorts - picked up L instead of XL - tried them on and they were good enough to run in so I went for a run. Didn't fancy trying squats in them, but running was fine.

    I actually have a few!! My size 16's now fall off of me, the waist on the new size 14's jeans that I just bought are loose so I had to wear a belt well even the belt was too big!!!!!

    I am in a size 8 pant now and medium/small tops!!! And I haven't even gotten down the weight I was before when I fit that size! I guess running is reshaping my body without the weight loss so far. Yay!

    SW: 191.5
    Size: 16/18 pant L/XL top

    CW: 147.8
    Size: 8 pant M/S top
