Wednesday QOTD: I love to see the number on the scale come down. But sometimes it can be stubborn, and I get discouraged. Concentrating on NSV’s (non-scale victories) can help bring me out of my funk. What NSV are you proud of?
When I began my lifestyle change four months ago I could barely jog one minute. Now I can jog 30+ minutes without stopping or feeling like I my heart is going to come out of my chest. And tonight I had a rather attractive (okay he was hot) guy flirt with me at the gym. It has been awhile since that has happened. :blushing:0 -
Thanks everyone, and well done to all.
Tuesday's QOTD----What is your "new" favorite healthy food?
Mine would be almonds I didn't think I liked them but thought I could force a few down, turns out I actually do like them.
@Nikki, I am so sorry for your loss and my thoughts are with you and your family x0 -
Way to go Ladies!! Especially Blue team! Let's make this week even better!
Tuesday's QOTD----What is your "new" favorite healthy food?
My new favorite food is protein shakes mixed with a sugar free popsicle. Yum I also tried Breyers almond bar that is low in carbs but high in fat... They are so delicous.... You should try it!!!! I love all nuts now and my favorite is Cashews....0 -

Although I haven't lost much weight yet in lbs because I am being more active, people have started to comment how my body shape has changed which means I can wear clothes I wouldn't be able to before. I am starting to have a waist! :happy:0 -

I just had a NSV that really made my day.
When I was in college I went into an adorable boutique. I could not afford the clothing, but I loved everything and the woman who owned the store made everything by hand (or refurbished old things). I tried on an adorable dress that turned out to fit me perfectly. She lowered the price, made some enhancements to it on the spot, and sold it to me.
I LOVED that dress.
Yesterday, for the first time in two years... I WORE that dress. THAT was an amazing moment.
On a side note, I want to say thank you to all of you ladies. I am an emotional eater and lately with my bad hair days etc., I've been eating terribly. The old me would no longer even be thinking about getting back on track, but the new me is dedicated to you Diamonds and also realizes that her weigh-in can really make or break her team. So, today I am putting my foot down and doing what I need to do. GO DIAMONDS!0 -

Way to go Maria!!! Hot guys always make the trip worth it!
My NSV's are slim and far between but when they do happen, I'm happy. Today my jeans buttoned without being cussed at---I'm going to count that as an NSV. Have a blessed day Diamonds and Go Blue Team!!!!0 -

I know I shouldn't but I have an old pair of jean that I spent a lot of money on and they always made me feel hot and now of course they don't fit!!! I hang them on the back of my closet door and every now and then, even if the scale doesn't move, I try them on!! Little by little I can pull them up further....lol.... one day I hope to get them over my butt.0 -

Well, I had a NSV this weekend. I always wearing big, baggy clothes - why wouldn't I? Who wants to wear something that shows every roll and lump - right? My husband hates my baggy clothes. This weekend, stretch denim capris were on sale, and I bought a pair and showed my husband. The look on his face was amazing! He said they were his favourite pants on me and called me his "hot wife"...really needed that this weekend!0 -

QOTD Tuesday- I would have to say water. I have never been much of a water drinker but now that is pretty much all I can stand to drink.
QOTD-Wed-I seen a friend that I haven't seen in a long time and she actually referred to me as skinny.0 -

Tuesday's QOTD----What is your "new" favorite healthy food?

My NSV would be ending my love affair/ addiction with Diet Mt Dew and replacing it with water. Previously, I was drinking an average of 3 cans a day, some days even 4 cans but only consuming about 20oz of water a day. NOT healthy!!! Now, I only have one can of Diet Mt Dew each day or some days none at all. And I have increased my water consumption to approx 80oz of water per day.0 -

I'M A RENEGADE. *swoops*
I want to pick your brains, ladies, in the non-zombie way. This isn't the question of the day or anything, but I'm the curious type.
How important is good music in your workout? Do you have to have the perfect playlist or are you able to jive with the radio? That's right, I said jive. Danny Zuko got nothing on me.
I digress.
Personally, if so much as one song puts me out of the mode, it's hard for me to not stare at the timer weeping silently for mercy from the machine. And no music at all leaves me staring in the mirror that mocks my efforts, wondering why my glasses just wont stay at the bridge of my nose!
...Anywho, your thoughts?0 -
Good active music is essential for me! Especially on a long distance run.
For awhile I was obsessed with Kaskade's remix of Katy Perry's Teenage Dream:

I'd have to say trying on several pairs of jeans in my closet that could not go up my thighs to save my life! When I try them on they now go up my thighs & I even have space around the waist. It makes me feel great!
Tuesday's QOTD: My favorite food would have to be baked or steamed fish.......ummm0 -
Wednesday QOTD: Some NSV that I'm proud of is that many of my jeans are very lose now and when people notice my loss0

Wednesday QOTD - NSV that I'm proud of...
Well, I'd have to say the thing I'm most proud of right now is that I started mfp about 45 days ago, and I have been faithfully following the program with no cheating. My "treats" have been programmed in and I've logged everything I've eaten. I can't really notice too much difference yet, just maybe in my face a little bit, although I do hear from others that they notice a difference.0 -
Wednesday word: nsv I am proud of is definitely getting back into my pre-pregnancy jeans, and now they are also getting too big! Yipeeeeeee! X0

Hello Diamonds, I hope everyone had a great day. Tues' QOTD - my favorite food is Chobani greek yogurt. Plain or Pinepple. Also, I love Almond Milk. I started drinking it 3 mos again and have not gone back. I like Blue Diamond brand the best:drinker:0 -

I am in a size 20 again. I know for smaller folks thats a big number but I've been a size 24 for the last 5+ years or so I was really excited when I could fit back into my size 20:bigsmile:0 -
My NVS is while moisturizing from the shower, I notice my cankles are shinking! And it makes me feel semi-sexier! Also, that the hills on my back are only speed bumps now.0

Music is extremely important! I have a special playlist on the ipod full of jumping tunes to get me through my workouts.0
