I was sitting at a table helping a kid out on Monday when I did something with my arm and a muscle popped up. I then realised I was tensing my arm. If I have ever tried to tense my arm before I used to have to put all my effort into it with not much effect. I am starting to get Shape and tone to my arms! Woo.0

I've noticed that while doing lunges for Ripped in 30, my legs look pretty sexy in those workout shorts.

Had a few........but not really thought about them till now
Wedding ring falls off (please no jokes about it falling off if a good looking woman is near me)
I wear a bracelet that falls off loads which was a pain to but on for Christmas.
I have had to put new holes in my belts (I could buy new ones yes...... but i like the motivation it gives me)
I can play a full game of football with out "blowing out my *kitten*" after 5 min
Best one for me
MY GOLD HAS GOT BETTER !!!!!
Strange one.....but i think my energy levels are so much high...... and my concentration too !!0 -
Sounds silly but for the first time in quite awhile... I like the way I look in my clothes and like to go shopping again!
For too long, I would get dressed or while trying things on while shopping, I would look in the mirror and find a slew of faults. Now I look in the mirror and think "Damn, I'm looking pretty good!".0 -
the grumpy old custodian at work told me "you look like a bum! go buy some clothes that fit you!"

the wrist watch my parents bought me fro my 21st birthday 27 years ago fits me again, my wedding ring is too big.0

I posted this yesterday....
Went to the ladies room yesterday, unhooked my belt and my pants fell to the floor without unbuttoning or unzipping them. They were my smallest pair.
Also, all of my under garments are extremely big as well. Straps of my bra falls off constently and my panties look like I'm wearing skirt! LOL!!!
So I'm excited to know my new size in clothes and underwear....will find out this weekend.0 -

Here are a few that I notice this week.
1. I have to go and have a link taken out of my watch because it is just way to big now. I just got it a Christmas and it fit tight then.
2. I had to move up a hole in my belt this past weekend
3. The best one: I started the journey wearing a size 2XL shirt. This weekend I started wearing my Mediums shirts. Love it. I can now wear my favorite T-shirt again. The saying on it is "I have PMS and a handgun....Any questions?" hahaha I love it.0 -

I LOVE your Number three !!! I have gone from a XXL to a L..... not going to get lower than that but the feeling it sooooooooo great !0 -
:flowerforyou: my husband commented that I've lost all my back fat, and now I have a tight *kitten* (like the Brazillian babes)
(personally I don't see it because I took a few pictures the other day and I looked like a polar bear, but yes, my clothes are fitting differently now and that fitted tank top is not so fitted anymore...)
:flowerforyou: I ran 6.56K last Sunday :glasses:
(huge cos I hate running)
:flowerforyou: PR'd my bench press last week!0 -
my BEST NSV is that I can wear slutty clothing again to go with my stripper nails(of course not THAT slutty that I would embarrass my kids!)!!! FUN!!! and my 12 yr old told me how long are you going to keep tracking your food,you don't need it,you look great. awwwwwwwww:blushing:
oh and I can wear thongs again!heehee
my friends say they love the new Aurore (which is how I was years ago but they didn't know me then)0 -

Well, being the narcissistic DB that I am, there are very few NSV's I haven't already bored you all with. Here are just a few (sorry, some may be repeats)
1. Today, I put on a fitted shirt, that in January required help with the side zip. Today, I easily zipped myself in, and it's kinda loose. Not as sexy, but feels good!
2. I can now comfortably wear all the pants I bought online, couldnt' close, but was too busy (read LAZY) to return
3. Last week, I received a request for fitness advice (ME?!?!?!) on FB - this week I learned I'd convinced her to complete week 1 of C25K...no way!!!!
4. On Monday, not one but TWO former employees (from a former company) posted on my FB wall that I was looking amazing/awesome...and they don't even have to kiss my *kitten* (anymore...LOL!)
5. Yesterday, a colleague I haven't seen in a while suggested I'm melting (perhaps a reference to me being a witch, but I'm a fan of Elphaba so I'm cool with that)
6. MOST IMPORTANTLY...after a lifetime of always being embarrassed of the junk in my trunk (even in my skinny gymnast/cheerleading days), after 8 months of running, I actually kinda LIKE the way my tush looks in a pair of VS Cheekies (for you, V) and can appreciate a little bubble in the butt! LOL!!!!
7. And hey...just realized I've stuck to runing for EIGHT MONTHS!!!!

The other day a co-worker pulled me aside and said, "I have a question for you, but I don't want you to think I'm being rude...Have you lost weight? Are you working out more? Whatever you're doing, you look AMAZING!"

:1. Yesterday at the gym I noticed a woman walking into the gym that I thought kinda resembles me when I look in the mirror. I asked my son if I resembled her and he replied "No mom! You are way hotter and skinner then her! "(shocking since I'm his mom and all)
2. My son was diagnosed in July of 2009 with Juvenile Diabetes, insulin dependent on top of his diagnosed Autism. I have had some HUGE challenges on teaching him how to eat and exercise. He just recently started going to the gym with me 3 times a week, working out at least 30-45 minutes each day. On Friday of last week I took him to see the endocrinoligist and found out he has lost 15 lbs since his last visit 5 weeks before. I asked him how he felt about losing weight and his words brought tears to my eyes (Great, I want to be like you mom!)
3. I've also been told at work that I look amazing and I need to buy clothes that fit because I look like "A child wearing her mothers clothes"
4. My sex life is awesome too! Wont get into detail but, ya....Husband seems happy as well. :flowerforyou: 0 -

A recent NSV was when my son noted the other day how he loved how much easier it was to wrap his arms around to hug me 0
-
Oh...NDB alert...forgot one other. Yesterday...I ordered belts. Belts! Have had too many wardrobe malfunction close calls lately...0
-
1. My bra strap is now on the tightest set of hooks, and I may need to go bra shopping. *yay* :drinker:
2. My nails are growing nicely again. Surely a sign I am getting the vitamins I need and takign better care of myself.
3. My work clothes are fitting a little looser, and one pair I keep pulling up. *nods* Yes I have seen the epidemic of pants on the ground, so I do take care to keep them up.

I ran/walked (c210k) a 2.87 mile hill today that I couldn't walk last year without stopping. :drinker:0
-
(1) this is the healthiest that i've EVER been in my life! sure, i was small & thin in h.s. & college... but that was w/no effort... i love how i'm exercising regularly & thinking about the food i put in my body!!
(2) when i look in the mirror, i like what i see!!! still have more work to do, but i'm loving the changes in my body!! 0 -
NSV Post::(1) I have went 17 days without drinking any soda (2) I was able to go up a belt loop.0
-
I have gone from a size 16 to a size 4/6 well sometimes 8 depends on the clothes really.....I actually don't feel shy when I leave the house now.
My son proudly tells me he has a skinny mommy now....<----That brings tears to my eyes....0 -
Love reading about everyone's victories ~ makes me smile
A few of my recent ones are:
1. Jewelry getting loose (rings/watch)
2. Clothes definitely getting loose and can wear several pairs of smaller jeans
3. Bought myself pretty new undies in a smaller size..that was fun!!
4. Can see some muscle definition and guess what?! I have ribs!!
5. Lots of compliments and people noticing. That's just good for the soul.
:bigsmile:0 -
Loving these. Here's mine:
1) I no longer have to make even a pretence at undoing my trousers before putting them on or taking them off. I am going to have to take them apart, and take another 4 inches out of the elastic that I already had to put IN the back of the waistband to keep them up. Shya!
2) Susan at work said I had a lovely shape and she's not even a gayer. Shya again!
3) I keep finding clothes I'd forgotten about and trying them on and they fit so much looser now, it's as though they're new. I read a post on here once where someone called that "shopping in my closet" - it's so true!
4) I might - just - have glimpsed a sneaking suspicion of collarbone today.
5) my backboobs are definitely on their way out.
6) I'm wearing less makeup. I used to slap it on for work but now I go barefaced because a) my skin's better and b) I go power-walking at lunchtimes and I work up a sweat. I used to just veg out at my desk.
Keep them coming! Oh and LEE FOR PRESIDENT!!!0 -
I've been kinda avoiding this challenge all day.... sorry but true. So I'm going to start off by saying that me answering this challenge in it's self is my first NSV for today....
I really have a hard time finding things I like about my body, also a personal goal challenge for me for this month.... anyways.....
I'm going to say that I started to notice that I have those indents in my abs, you know.... like on each side of your tummy with there might be some muscle starting to poke through LOL
That I have defination in my arms *excited* and that I have defination in my calf muscles as well.....
Ok there I'm done.... phew that was hard!0
