    That's awesome!!

    My NSV today is that I wore my nerdshirt "10 Ways Kirk is Better Than Picard" and my boss said that he doesn't have to tilt his head as much to read the list. Oddly complimenting, but I'm running with it. LOL!

    ineffective 'nerd' shirt if you prefer Kirk over Picard. Every true Trekkie knows Picard is by far the better Captain.:bigsmile:

    The jeans I had to buy a couple of months ago are beginning to fall - will need a belt and then eventually new ones.

    And I breezed up the three loong staircases out from my deep metro station - and that was with a cold, too. When I started this I couldn't do even one of those staircases.

    MY NSV - cleaned the gutters, raked enough leaves to fill four garbage cans and trimmed all the shrubs and wasn't gasping for breath or taking a rest! :)

    The best/worst part of losing weight is clothes. I used to buy clothes that looked cute on me at 20, and I was a fierce thrifter.

    Now, my cute size 20 clothes (as well as the ones that I bought when I went down to an 18) are hanging on me and I just look frumpy. :( It's fun to buy new clothes, but I'm in grad school and only make $10 an hour, so who has the money?

    On the other hand, thrifting might take me about half the time since more will fit (when I finally amass enough of a clothes budget to try again).

    Maybe post where you live and you can arrange to get care package from someone on here that is growing out of their 14-16's. You can pay shipping and they can send them to you! You never know if you don't ask....

    Visited my parents yesterday and didn't eat the chocolate caramel slice that was on offer, just sitting there on the table looking at me. :-)

    My stretch marks are going away! They were my wake up call to begin with.

    Normally I dodge mirrors, so I can avoid my reflection. Today I passed by a mirror while thrift shopping, and I stopped to smile at myself. :heart:

    As I was working out, I checked myself out in the mirror and felt confident about what I saw. I just felt awesome.

    Went thrifting with my cousin and caught sight of a super cute skirt on the way out the door. I didn't want to have to go back and wait in line for the fitting room again, so I checked the size tag. It was a medium, which i knew wouldn't fit me now, but I know I've been doing well and it would only be a matter of time, so I bought it as a 'goal' skirt...... tried it on when I got home to see how much i had to lose before i could wear it AND IT FIT JUST FINE :blushing:

    I had to buy a new belt, This time I went for a canvas adjustable one so I won't have to purchase again. I've also been able to fit into pants without a muffin top that I couldn't even button up when I started out.

    I've also had coworkers mention how good I look recently and even my little brother noticed I'd lost weight. It's been fun taking pictures the whole way so I can see it easily too.

    The next one I'm excited for is when my baggy pants actually become baggy again.

    I jogged for 4 miles on the treadmill yesterday. I haven't been able to run that far without stopping for 20 years.

    My big one lately was going to buy a new leather jacket. The sales guy suggested a corset-style one (which I wouldn't have dared wear a year ago) He asked what size. I said medium and he gives me a doubtful look, and I'm thinking "Crap, he's going to say I should try a large," and he says "You're a small, maybe even extra small." He was right :)

    QFT.

    My latest one is deciding on Saturday to run a 5k on Sunday (because a neighbor had an extra bib she needed to sell) and beating my previous best pace by better than a minute/mile.

    I'm down to the last notch on my belt and will need to go buy a new one soon. (though to be realistic I will likely punch a couple more and buy the new one when I hi the goal) and my too tight jeans fit loosely now and the ones i was wearing that were too tight in December are now baggy. I need new jeans as well soon

    I love NSV threads--congrats, everyone, way to go!

    Mine is that I'm up to 15 minutes on the elliptical. A month ago I could barely do 1 minute.

    I bought 3 new pairs of fairly expensive jeans about 2 weeks ago... had to get them altered which took 10 days. I wore one pair this past Saturday and the legs are so baggy I feel like I wasted my money b/c they look too big.

    On the bright side, the one pair of jeans that was too tight when I bought them actually fit perfectly now... and they sit on my [large] hips instead of my waist!!!! :happy:

    I went to my Aunt Kaye's funeral and no one recognized me. I lost over 10% of my body fat.

    Passing through the bakery section at the store this morning and grabbing a banana from the produce section instead.

    Congratulations!

    My first NSV was when I needed to buy a new belt for my pants!

    Instead of flats I wore my high heel boots yesterday, because I was feeling a little sexy. ;-)

    May be bias since my maiden name is Kirk... but he is the better captain and he got all the green ladies to prove it. Though I do love Picard too. :-)

    Mine is huge, to me.

    I lost 49 pounds from May 2013-December 2013. I was wearing a size 6, ready for a 4, 12 pounds from my goal weight.

    The winter that would never end hit, I had issues with my lungs which kept me from running the months of January and February. I started slacking on my tracking, then my eating. I gained 12 of my pounds back, I looked like a busted can of biscuits in my size 6 jeans etc...

    I've been trying to get back on track since February. I think I've finally done it. As of this morning I'm only 7.4 pounds above my lowest weight, less than 20 from my goal.

    I have a half marathon on May 2, my first, and my 1 year anniversary of this healthy life is May 3. I hope to be almost to goal by then.

    My husband suggested a belt for my saggy pants. These WERE muffin-top pants a few months ago.

    Alright 2 small NSV's in the last week; First, I had to go to Security to renew my badge training (we have to do this annually) and they MADE me take a new picture because the old one didn't look like me AT ALL! Second, I was able to climb 3 Flights of Stairs in the Parking Garage downtown on Saturday morning and I didn't get Winded ONCE!!! Sooo happy about those!

    1. I didn't eat the brownie

    2. My husband says I'm getting stomach blades like I had in my 20's, which I never paid attention to until they left. I couldn't see them last night, but he pointed them out while I was sitting on the bed, so now I'm trying to decide if he was just imagining them or If they exist and I am not seeing them. It's a nice problem bc either way I win. ;)

    I worked on building my workbench in the garage all day on Saturday and just knew my back would hurt when I went mountain biking on Sunday. I rode Sunday, really hard, and had NO BACK PAIN. It's not so much the weight loss (although that helps) as it is all of the core work I've been putting in. I love to ride, but that back pain was really bad when I finished. Two consecutive rides with no pain!

    I put on a pair of pants I had not worn since January on Saturday, they fit perfectly instead of being borderline too tight like last time I wore them.
