    After reading posts from another topic where posters suggested slowing jogging pace to improve breathing, I tried it myself and had a GREAT workout on the treadmill. I was able to jog 2 minutes/walk 1 minute for a total of 20 minutes jogging. Usually I jog/walk for 1 minute intervals but slowing down from 5 mph to 4.7 was much better!

    After 4 months and 20lbs, one of my co-workers asked how much weight I have lost and said I look great! She did not know I have been "dieting"! Yay! Someone who sees me everyday noticed!

    I broke my foot Saturday night in a completely graceful fall down the stairs. I'm now stuck with a walking boot and crutches for at least six weeks. I was really disappointed because I had been doing so well with my walking. Normally, I would get completely discouraged and just give up, I mean what's the use of eating healthy if I can't even work out? Well I didn't totally break down! I had one crazy indulgent meal and then decided "Hey do I really want to just give up the 20lbs I've already lost? That was freaking hard! I don't want to do it again!". Now I'm right back on track with eating and logging. In the past I never would have been able to stick to my "diet". Hooray!!!

    The jeans I bought in the beginning of July (and were a little tight to start) are very saggy on my butt. It's not cute, but it's a good problem to have!

    When I go to the gym, I tuck my T-shirt in because I no longer have a huge belly to hide.

    Non Scale Victory!

    Thanks for clarifying!

    I picked my diet back up a few weeks ago after having taken a ~6 month hiatus and am starting to fit back into some of the size 6 dresses I had bought when I was in shape before. Feeling good!

    An NSV for me last night: I was at the gym last night and had finished my deadlifts. I was putting the plates and bar away when a man a little older than me said, "I hope you don't take this as creepy, but I've noticed you here almost every day for the last few months, and I just wanted to tell you that you've made some great progress. Keep it up!" He went away to go onto his next exercise with a wink. Later as I passed him, heading for the locker room, I overheard him whisper to his workout buddy, "Her *kitten* just gets better and better..." OMG!

    My whole belly use to flop over and I could lift it up and shake it. Now it doesn't flop over in the middle. I mean it is sticking out, but not flopping over, if that makes any sense.

    I have always- /always/- had to squeeze to close the waistband of my pants. Now I have a few pairs that will slide way down on my hips if I'm not careful. What is this strange new feeling of having to pull /up/ my pants?! What is this "needing a belt"? :D

    I made it under 300 pounds. And I cried.... yes, I'm aware it's a scale victory... but it was huge to me. Please don't be mean. :(
    So you still had a great victory both scale and making a goal that you really wanted. To me it is a double goal victory yes a number from the scale, but better yet the way it made you feel was another victory. It still counts in my book. Way to go.:drinker:

    I can’t stop touching my waist because it seem like maybe – just maybe - all those sit-ups might have actually started to pay off and there might actually be some – dare I say it – definition?! It's minor, but I think it might be there! Still have that extra layer on my lower stomach, but my waist area feels somehow different and better!!

    It's not much, but when I flexed this morning, I could see the hint of a curve from my bicep on my arm. It's there! Just waiting for the fat to get out of the way! :)
