Over the past few days, I have been pulling clothes out of my "I'm saving these for when I lose weight" box and actually fitting into them! I am sitting here wearing a skirt out of that box as I type this.

I still have lots more in there that don't fit, but that just gives me more to work toward.

I know this may sound silly to some, but I am really proud of myself of going to ikea today and NOT having meatballs!!

I went to my moms work picnic today with kids and boyfriend. I ate a healthy fulfilling late breakfast before going and I brought a healthy lunch along in case I needed it. Turns out I didn't need it. I wasn't real hungry and I chose to eat a corn on cob, some watermelon, and a few ounces of pork. Then later for dinner went out with boyfriend and indulged in a great meal staying under calorie goal and went on a late night walk! Oh and at the picnic I stayed active. Walked / jogged a mile of active cardio and did a bad mitten competition.

Last year at this same picnic I ate whatever I felt like including chips cookies and fatty meats AND I didn't do any cardio or bad mitten. I sat on my butt and ate the whole time. Not this year.

LooMs like everyone is starting out great. Good job everyone!
I stuck to my personal goal yesterday and logged all my foods. I also made it to the gym.

Got all greens on my fitbit dashboard!

Increased my weights at the gym today! I also stayed on the treadmill for an hour!

I love all your NSV comments, good for all of you. I will try to find one this week myself. Now on to tomorrow and more successes!

Yesterday I think I was hungry all day long. However, even though I did go over my calories by about 50, my extra food was in the form of fruits and veggies. Came home famished, knew I had an hour and a half until dinner, so I ate watermelon and a tomato. Beats the heck out of a bag of chips and a soda!

My non-scale victory is that I've been pushing myself harder in my gym classes. Having my sister there helps but I've learned that I have to do it alone most of the time.

I've also been weighing all my foods and working out more like I said I was going to. As far as clothes, I don't have much but the jeans ive worn last winter fit but throughout spring and summer time they were getting too tight and I'm like I need to lose weight before I get so big I won't want to. I do have clothes from when I was in school that I would like to fit into again lol.

It sounds like you are all doing great. I am feeling good about improvements in my fitness. I am walking everyday and I am enjoying it more and going further faster. My weight has sort of plateaued, no weight loss in a week so I have added protein and some strengthening exercises. Now my thighs hurt

I can't wear my pants without a belt. It just slips off me like oil. I use to be able to but my weight loss is doing wonders

The best/most annoying feeling in the world is when your pants are too loose. Lol! Nice NSV!

Thanks. So true. Best part of weight loss is all your clothes don't fit and when I hit my goal weight, I will buy a whole bunch of new ones.

My weight loss victory is keeping up my food journal and listening to weight loss podcasts. I know it's only been a week but I have the tendacy to say, I got this, and try to wing weight loss without any support. Due to past failure, I know where that leads!

Last night I went to a bar for a goodbye celebration for a co-worker. Driving home at 1 in the morning, after a couple of drinks (I was fine to drive) and after being around people eating bar food all night, I made a poor choice and stopped at Burger King The victory is that when I got home I had a moment of clarity and threw it away before eating any of it! I didn't see that coming!
