Got new jeans: smaller than I thought and hoped.
EUR 40, according to my pants (sorry, I guess we don't use the same sizes everywhere.) Previously I could only wear my 44/46 pair. I'm so confident right now that I purchased a dress over the internet with the hopes that it will fit me when I get it. It's also EUR size 40. They didn't have the size at a local store and their 38 was too small for me.
It's the cutest summer dress I've seen so far.
I'll come back with news if it fits or not when I get it. :'D Maybe even pictures? Depends on how it turns out.
(It's from Orsay: a white dress with smallish flowers.)1 -

I lost another point off my bmi.0

I ran two miles today in nearly the time it takes me to walk one. I haven't ran a foot in 6 years. Felt amazing to know i have the drive to better myself1

So, yesterday I used up my calorie allotment at 2pm. Had lunch around 12 and was still hungry so ate 3 cheese filled pancakes. I sort of resigned that I will just have to go over my calories but that it's ok because it hasn't happened for weeks. Well.. the rest of the day I was just thirsty all the time and couldn't think of food as I felt so full. At the end of the day, I realized that I won't go over my calories as I'm simply not hungry. I don't know what happened, either my body got used to this amount of calories or I was just lucky and had a non-crave day. But that was cool.2

I just had an NSV yesterday. When I walk my dog in the warmer weather I usually have no pockets to put my key or phone in so I use a small fanny pack. Five weeks ago the strap was tight around my waist. But yesterday I noticed that it was looser! I've lost 11 pounds so far... haven't taken my measurements again since I started but I know the waist one has to be smaller. woot! 1

yay everyone!1

Well, I had to go to a funeral a couple of weeks ago and the two black dressy skirts I always used in the past, hung off my hips. It was kind of a last-minute deal as it was completely unexpected. So, now I am on the prowl for a special-occasion dress and/or skirt that I know will fit as I obviously have nothing right now. I ended up wearing black pants (I'm sure nobody really cared, but I really like to wear skirts for situations like that and always have). Another was my 'smaller' bras are now too large in the band - thankfully, I was and am able to accommodate that issue more easily!0

My boss told me I looked like I have lost weight today
When I lift my thigh up, the fat is squishy and falls away, and the contour of a skinny leg is super apparent! 2 -
Yesterday I jogged 8 laps around my daughter's school track. She was able to keep up merely by walking quickly, but by golly- I jogged that two miles! (Queue Rocky's Eye of the Tiger)4

Seems to be a common victory over the past day or so on here...but...I also managed to not only survive C25K week 5/day 3, but I ROCKED it and finished strong! I was so nervous...but once I found my groove it was all good! I wont say it was easy, but I am proud of how well I did!
Awesome job! We can do this! 1 -

So over the past few years I've slowly become a runner. At first I was wheezing like crazy, but just trying to run through it - except people kept stopping me, concerned I guess by the wheeze. These were strangers, lol, so I mentioned it to my doc, who prescribed me an inhaler. That really helped, and last summer I completed c25k, enjoying my runs more and more all the time, always starting with my inhaler and no longer scaring passers by into being ready to call 911
Here's my NSV: I thought I'd run a quarter mile in the middle of a walk the other day, just as a spur of the moment interval, no inhaler used. It was so easy I ended up running 2 miles! No inhaler, no wheeze!!
So amazing how we truly can train and change our bodies, with patience and dedication Congrats pals! Keep'em coming! 4 -

*fist bump* Awesome work. As someone just starting on maintenance, that's so motivating to hear 1 -
My mother actually noticed I've lost weight. That may not seem monumental, but if you knew my mother you would understand!2

Great work! You definitely deserve a montage and theme song for that effort 0 -
I just ran 3.75 miles on the treadmill. My longest run to date. I feel I'm going to break that four mile target soon!1

Hm, I guess this one is kinda a scale victory-or soon to be one. So heres another: my daily jog/fast walk with my dog was trimmed down my 2 minutes over the weekend, then ANOTHER 2 minutes yesterday...4 minutes faster than last week! And I ran with my shirt off at one point-without feeling like everyone was staring at me.

my most recent NSV was 2 full arm pullups in the gym after a sub 25 min 5k. So very happy with being able to do a pull up!2

Last week, someone said "You've lost a LOT of weight huh? How much?" and I was happy to answer. I've been a bit stuck and unmotivated the last couple of weeks so that made me feel like all was not lost.2

So, it has take me weeks (I'm not kidding) to read this entire thread. It has been so inspiring and motivating! Many of you have been posting on here for a while, and seeing how you've progressed and made multiple non-scale victories has helped me to see them in myself. Thank you, and congrats to all of you! I so wish I could just "Like" all your posts.
I have been losing weight steadily since the start of the year but had to start off with mostly just walking in terms of exercise. Five weeks ago I started the C25K program and strength training at home.
Since it took me so long to reach the end of this thread, I do have a few NSVs:
--Stomach pain went away within weeks of watching my food intake. (I was eating too much!)
--The pain in my knees has disappeared.
--I have more energy. I'm becoming one of those people that can't sit at the desk for long periods of time! I even went for a very short run yesterday just because! Me run just because?! Crazy.
--Kind of related to the previous point - because of the increased energy, time with the husband is even more awesome. I will leave it at that.
--I went from a size 14 (in January) to a size 10 now (US sizes). I'm still trying to wrap my head around this, because for some reason I don't see myself as getting smaller, even though I'm back into my old stuff.
--The little "voice in my head" has become more encouraging. What started out as "You can't do this" over and over again has become "You CAN do this!" over and over again.
--Compliments. I saw family that I hadn't seen in months (and some family I hadn't seen in years!) last weekend, and while I had hoped that they might see a difference, I was stunned at how many compliments I got. I have such an encouraging husband and family, and they were not shy in congratulating me on my progress so far. I was totally grinning from ear to ear most of that weekend.
--I feel good about myself. I actually feel pretty.
--I have said "no" to food, on multiple occasions now. After years of emotional eating, I actually have willpower! I will never forget my husband offering me a spoon with some leftover peanut butter on it, and I just didn't want it. So I said "No thanks." And then I stared at him, and he stared at me, because I never do that.
--I completed C25K Week 5 Day 3 today. I have been dreading this day since I started the program, and I did it! I totally cried.
Sorry for the long post! I had just been collecting them for a while.
Awesome post, makes me want to go back and read this entire thread too!
My NSV is that I recently started swimming 2-3 times a week, and in a fairly short time I've gone from barely making it 50 meters without stopping and catching my breath to doing 100 meters at a time with flip turns (ugly, completely wrong flip turns, but still) and improving my form, breathing, and kicking drastically. Swam for an hour this morning and am really starting to feel the benefits of it.0 -
I'm drinking close to 2L of water a day (big thing for me, I really struggle with drinking enough), I've logged consistently and been under TDEE for 2 weeks, and my cravings are gone! Long way to go but it's finally getting easier! 0

I started doing hill sprints a few weeks ago. I've been doing 10 sprint/rest intervals. This past Sunday, I got through the fifth sprint before starting to feel tired AND my rests were a bit shorter AND I added two more sprint/rest intervals for a total of 12. My legs are beginning to feel pretty damn strong. I also moved up in weight for my kettlebell. I'm now swinging 25 pounds!1

Did my second sprint triathlon over the weekend. I improved my time by over 20 minutes in just 6 weeks!0
-
I maxed out my squat at 255# last night!
Which is HUGE for me. Squats are a big mental game, I psych myself out every time. Last night I just decided I could do it. Great confidence booster as I've been eating and feeling like crud lately. Might be the motivation I needed.
Prior to this, a few weeks ago my max was 235, and I missed depth at my attempt at 245. Last night I hit 245 for two solid reps. Woo!0 -
