    I ran a mile in less than 10 mimutes. I'm pretty excited about this nvs.

    Today I noticed I have tan lines from running outdoors, I thought I was naturally pale but it turns out I just don't spend enough time out in the fresh air :laugh:

    And yesterday's I just have to say; I ran a whole mile! 2 months ago I couldn't run at all, now a whole mile without stopping! When I realised what I was doing I burst into tears because it was such a good feeling. I must have looked hilarious.

    I swam 300 yards total without stopping. For real swimmers out there, this doesn't seem like much, but I started out struggling with even 25 yards. I did it with breaststroke and I still struggle with front crawl, but I put lots of front crawl into my workout for a total of 700 yards. I'm hoping to get up to workouts of 1700 yards (a swimmers mile), but I'm just happy right now to be getting to the pool and making progress.

    I just did three circuits of beginner bodyweight exercises. Started 2 weeks ago and could barely manage two - three has just about killed me! I'm still doing pushups on my knees but I'm pretty pleased with myself :smile:

    I have to go out and buy new shirts this weekend, my XL's are too big.

    Also, I walked by every treat ( cookie, donut) left in the lunch room at work and didn't even care.

    :happy:

    I got a "You've lost some weight..." from someone I haven't seen in a couple of months. Always feels good when someone notices the effort.

    Did 2 and 3/4 chin ups today (sooooo close to 3). My goal is 5. Been working on it for 6 months.

    Well, mine aren't from today but, I'm going to share anyway. Last week when I arrived at work there were balloons and flowers at my desk from my co-workers. They were congratulating me on my weight loss. This week I found out the sneeky boogers have a pool going on my weight loss. My next weigh in is this next Thursday at the Dr's. I also walked into a meeting in our conference room where in the middle of the discussion one of the gentlemen turns around says, "Take a look at Estee, isn't she looking amazing? She's lost so much weight". It's grand and so heartfelt to have all this support at work. I'm a happy camper. Cheers!

    Noticed when I put on my jacket this morning that it's definitely roomy, after being barely able to button it up when I bought it a year ago. And have had several people this week say I'm looking good :) And I'm only 1lb and 3 lbs to two major milestones for me
    *happy dance*
    Oh and I ordered some new clothes yesterday in a UK size 20, and I'll bet that at least some of them might be too big!

    What is a NSV? I see it is something good but what does it stand for?
    1 - walked up the the roof of my apartment block this morning - 18 flights of stairs.
    2 - good result on the scales this morning.
    Non Scale Victory :)

    Thank goodness for that!! I didnt know either and so googled it.....I was very hopeful that everyone didnt have "non-specific vaginitis" - especially the men!

    Just a boring old clothes NSV, but I'm wearing a pair of jeans that were really uncomfortably tight a few months ago and today they feel like comfy pajamas. Also wearing one of my favorite band's T-shirts that was more like a crop top until recently. Now it fits like a normal shirt. :)

    I spent the afternoon with my husband at the American WWII cemetery of North Africa. We walked for 5 hours around the cemetery and also around Carthage and down to the sea. When we were down by the sea, we couldn't find a Taxi to bring us home so we had to walk uphill to a main street to flag a cab. WHAT A WONDERFUL FEELING to not be filled with dread over having to walk to catch the cab. When we were close to home, the cab was stuck in traffic so I suggested we just get out and walk the last mile to get home. It's not great athletic feat but being free to enjoy a normal day out with my husband without feeling burdened by my weight was a VICTORY!

    Congrats!!! You deserve :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:. Keep up the awesomeness.

    Congrats on your NSVs! Both really cool :-)

    Mine for today is a bit vague. I'm having lunch w/ a friend from my teen years. We lost touch for the past 7 years and as I was getting dressed this morning my main "concern" was that she would talk too much about my weight loss and not focus on more fun & interesting topics. I'm much smaller than when she met me (9th grade) at 37 and I have to admit that's kind of awesome.

    I have been to Florida from the UK for 2 weeks, 1 st day back I went straight to the gym and I had gained <1kg. Felt awesome to know that I can go away and control my eating.

    I love those feelings! How wonderful to be on such a neat trip and have all that confidence! Good for you!

    I went to the cafeteria at work to get oatmeal for breakfast and there was a tray of at least 20 maple bars, which are my FAVORITE. It was hard but resist them I did.

    Still thinking about them though.

    That would be a strange feeling, but a feeling of victory, too! You're going to have such a great time, I just know it.

    It's from yesterday but a regular at my gym (making small talk) told me that he's seen an improvement in my work outs and physique since I joined a couple months ago :)

    It's too early for today's... but last night I came home from work and put on a pair of Levi's NON-Stretch jeans in a size 8! Yee haw! OK - a bit snug, but they zipped and buttoned and I could still breathe!

    Walked the dog - in the rain! No excuses!

    -I bought a jacket about two years ago with the intention of losing weight to fit into it. I had gained weight after I bought it. Today I was able to put it on and wear it comfortably.
    -Some of my pants used to be too tight to wear, now I need a belt for them.
    -Some of my co-workers have noticed a huge difference and keep complimenting me on my weight loss. (they did admit that at first they thought I was losing weight because they thought I was ill so they were holding back from mentioning it for fear of hurting me)
