    I SUNK. As in I jumped off a boat into the water and sunk. All my life I've bobbed like a buoy. I'd lost weight before but never gained muscle. I was working with a personal trainer who dropped my body fat % by over 10%.

    Everyone else was sitting on life jackets and they offered me one. I said this was a great opportunity to tread water. I think I put in an hour of exercise while chatting.

    I had a business conference with colleagues and so many people told me I looked great, I actually got sick of it.

    With the warmer weather my jeans were just too hot, so I'm actually wearing khakis that are size 6 (10 years old) that I couldn't get into a month ago. I was size 16/18 in December.

    At dinner with a good friend. When we got up to leave, she looked at me and said "I love that dress - I know I have seen it before but I don't remember how it came in at the waist like that. How come I never noticed that before?" My best guess (and she agreed): It is not the dress that has changed, it is the body inside it - definitely having a reappearance of a waist.

    1) I've always been too self conscious to work out anywhere except home, but last month I joined a martial arts class.
    2) I can now do 12 standard push-ups before my arms give out.

    My most recent nsv is realizing that shaving my legs is no longer a major chore. But my favorite nsv is realizing that I can wear skirts without a pair of spandex shorts underneath because my thighs no longer chafe together. Also those skirts can be short and I don't feel ashamed of how my legs look.

    Congrats to the end of the dreaded "chub rub" - that is great!
