Your most awesome NSV

my biggest one so far is being able to see more and more of the car seat while im driving. its awesome.

I just started two weeks ago but it has inspired by 15 yr. old daughter to eat healthier (she has been eating along with me much healthier meals that I cook and has started making smoothies for snacks instead of chips) and she has started working out with a friend. I am proud that I am setting a good example for her.

Getting into the jeans I used to wear when first married...in 1973. Yes, bellbottoms...but they FIT!

I rappelled down an office building back in October. It was a fundraiser for Special Olympics Texas. I had donated to my friends the previous year, but since I was actually below the weight limit, I figured "what the heck, go for it!"

I'm going to try and find a way to beat it this year, but I don't know if that'll be possible.

I now have no jeans that are tight and several pairs that are just downright baggy.

I've been lifting weights since August - and it's paid off; you can definitely tell - especially in my arms.

A few weeks ago my 15 year old daughter's boyfriend was over - apparently he was asking my daughter if she works out in our home gym - she said 'No, but my Mom does all the time'! She called me into the living room and asked me to 'flex' my biceps for her boyfriend to show him my muscles - I did (laughing the whole time) - and he said he was impressed............and had 'great guns'!

I thought it was nice/cute that my teenage daughter was impressed by my weight lifting - enough to brag about it to her boyfriend! Since then, my daughter has asked me to 'flex' for a bunch of her girlfriends as well! I'm trying to get my daughter into weight lifting as well - we'll see if that happens............!

Can try clothes on in the dressing rooms without feeling claustrophobic :laugh:

About 4 weeks ago, a lady (Idid not know her) at my gym came up to me and said she had been watching me and noticed that I was really losing weight. THEN, about 2 weeks ago a man (I didn't know) came up to me and said that he had noticed that since he had started the gym back in April that I had lost weight and was looking great. YES!

Another:
Having to buy new workout pants because my others were literally falling off. My hubby kept laughing at me walking around with my heavy weights trying to hike my pants up!

* I can now kill the stairmaster . . .

This is mine!!!

I also...
**love it when other people in the people stop me and tell me how good I am looking...

Plus, every time I am able to lift more, go longer, do something at a pace that was my beginner level... I am reminded of exactly why I started in the first place!!!

I don't know if it's my absolute BEST one...but I really, really love the way I fit into booths in restaurants!

For years I felt wedged in. Uncomfortably aware of my size. Looking over or across at my dining companion and (with the exception of a few very heavy/large friends & family) seeing that they had several inches of wiggle room between themselves and the table's edge. Worried about dripping food on my chest (which happened far more often than not). Concerned that I may just find the one booth that was actually TOO small for me to fit in. I came close a time or two.

Now I fit. Always. Like a regular average normal woman. It's amazing to me.

Not that I do this regularly, but I could usually even sit "Indian style" in a booth now...something I have not been able to do since I hit puberty.
