It's a strange kind of victory, but I injured myself last week and had to spend Saturday inactive, at home, often with my foot up. By the time I went to bed, my muscles were zinging with unexpended energy. I realized that I've become accustomed to doing 1.5-2 hours of exercise in a day (often + dancing), and it was hard for me NOT to be active.
That is a big victory for me, because I've never thought of myself as sporty.
Now, I need to find some things to do while I'm being careful of my foot. The hula hoop has come out . . .2 -
When I started this, I wanted to be able to get into a certain pair of shorts. This weekend I buttoned them! Still need a bit more off to wear them comfortably after "swimming" in my bigger shorts, but I am so dang proud of myself!1

This morning I was getting changed after a swim. My husband looked up and said "wow, you have abs!" I've never had abs you could see before! Rolls you could see from space, but abs, not so much. Feeling pretty proud of myself about now

Ok I've got a few!
This past Saturday was the Akron, OH Get Thirsty 8K. It was DOWNPOURING all morning. Including a breezy freezing rain blast right at the beginning. I was scared of running on the street because of how slick it was but I figured I'd give it a shot. Averaged a 13:25 mile time and ran much more than I walked.
Then yesterday I went to the Dillard's semi-annual bra & undie sale and I'm down a band size! I haven't been that band size in...probably 6 years? I was so excited.
Today, my Rock Star super skinny jeans from Old Navy, are loose. Kinda awkward when your skinny jeans are baggy.1 -
At the gym today, one of the heavy lifters works where I do but we rarely see each other at work or at gym. He usually works out in the morning and I usually work out at night. I haven't seen him in two months. I saw him today and he said he saw my truck and was looking for me, and saw me, but didn't see ME! He said he didn't recognize me! Yay!! He said I looked great and the hard work is paying off. Oh yeah, and now the other women at the gym say hey girl to me now. Like I am a regular or something.3

I can wear a skirt without tights underneath!!!! My thighs still rub a bit but nowhere near as bad.
My smallest pair of pants are too big.
My tattoos seem to be growing! According to my tattooist, it's because I'm shrinking lol. But they're looking alright still thankfully.1 -
Logging even when I eat outside of my plans (that pint of Ben and Jerry's while on vacation). Hitting the treadmill even when I was tired. Fitting into a size L with room to spare!1
-
This might seem like nothing but I can get on and off the bus much easier now. Before I had to haul myself up and very carefully step down holding onto the bus, which I thought was because I'm so short. Nope, just heavy
Now I can get on/off easily and I don't feel embarrassed any more. I'm still big but have been exercising a lot lately and think that's made me lighter on my feet. 1 -
This morning I looked in the mirror and almost cried. Last week I turned 55, I am in the best shape of my life. I can now run 5 miles, do a sprint triathlon, I am sober for 30 years, I am no longer on the obese BMI.
Life does get better.6 -

Did two planks in the gym today. Held it for 35 secs. Before I couldn't even attempt it. The other day I could raise my legs on the parallel bar 10 times! This took 6 weeks to achieve, by the way. And on the elliptical my heart rate used to be around 140 on level 10, resistance 1 to the same dance music I listen to. For days now, I have been increasing the resistance and my heart rate slowed down to a max 130. So my heart is in better shape too! Yippeee!0

I pulled up my favorite pair of pants to my chest and they were still too long...1
-
I no longer make an involuntary noise when I get up from a sitting position. I didn't realise I was doing it until my daughter pointed it out.
Started C25K - making sure I have the rest days as per the advice, but I was feeling really antsy so I had to go and do something - the garage has never been tidier.1 -
@hugheseva To know your heart is getting in better shape is one of the best NSV's I've read. Congratulations.0

I forgot and washed my favorite white denim capri's in hot water. They fit better now than before!1

Moms might relate: did a full body workout and took a shower. Half hour after that, the whole family was still sleeping.4

Last week was one NVS after another, but I haven't gotten around to posting them.
-Fit into a dress size and cut I haven't fit into in a long time. I saw the dress on the hanger and thought, "No way this will fit me," but it did!
-Bought a pair of pants in a single digit size!
-I saw my mother-in-law over the weekend and the first thing she said to me was, "Hello, Mrs. Skinny!" lol

My triglycerides went from 250 to 124!!!1

Go jogging at lunchtime. I used to sneak out the carpark and go behind the building, cross a small footbridge which took me straight to the suburbs where there were no work colleagues. I know jog through thre recption area of my building and then on through the central plaza between the offices. I literally do not care if someone sees me now and I used to be so self conscious.0

I FINALLY got to toss my bra extender for my VS bra!

I started week 5 of C25K today and completed day 1! Also, my favourite jeggings are getting really loose 1

Hello size 14 (US size 10)1

I worked out 3x yesterday-went for a walk on my lunch break, worked out at a local park after work while waiting for traffic to die down, and when I finally got home, I took the pup on a 45 minute jog!!
One time used to be enough for me, yesterday I just couldnt stop 0 -
I refuse to wear my pencil skirts. They spin around and don't even fit under my shirts (like if I wear a shirt that drapes over the top of the skirt). They are really big!
Also, I'm on the last inner hole of my belts and I can't keep the waist of my pants sandwiched between the belt and my skin anymore. There's just a belt and a bunch of gaps because my pants are way too big. All size 12s. I've been working on replacing my clothes with size 10s but I don't want to spend too much money just in case I drop down to an 8 before I'm through!
All good problems to have.1 -
I think the last few pounds I lost have all come off of my mid arm region. I had forgotten how pointy my elbows are.1
-
I can see my cheekbones again! Hello there cheekbones, I've missed you! 2

Capris I couldn't take on holiday in May because of serious fabric stretch and all the muffin top now having a good couple of inches to spare around the waistband.0
