    I just had to bring in two 5 gallon water bottles (84 lbs) in from my car to our second floor office. After climbing the stairs and huffing and puffing, I realized last year I was carrying more than that around all day, everyday. This time I got to put them down and walk away!

    That's fantastic!

    4 years ago I bought a beautiful, red lace peplum dress online that I've never been able to wear. I was closet shopping for a dress for my sisters rehearsal dinner and tried it on just to see how close I was... And it fit like a glove! I'm so excited because I thought I was 20 lbs away from being able to wear it. Try on your "skinny" clothes, people! You might be surprised!

    New work shirts are in. My last one was too big for a while and I waited to get a different size till we got the different shirts. I went from a 2xl that I'd ordered last year to a medium and it's not tight at all. Had considered going with a large but glad my coworker convinced me otherwise.

    I didn't buy a dozen of my favorite donuts when they were a great price. I saw they were 370 calories a piece ( I had an audible gasp that got looks from passerbys when i read the box!) and while I could just fit the calories in, I know myself by now that that wouldn't end up being the case. I wouldn't able to eat just one of those. Not at this point anyway. I'm better with my discipline now and that proves it!

    I didn't feel great yesterday, and halfway through my cardio, I had almost convinced myself to quit after 20 minutes. But I pushed on and finished. A year ago, any little reason would have convinced me to not even start my workout. A month ago, I pinched the nerve in my neck, and I even did light workouts through my recovery most days (mostly ones where I could hold my arm at my side). Even after 16 months of this, as someone who absolutely hated exercising, I still amaze myself!

    I was able to wear my sandals with 4" heels again yesterday after two months of physical therapy for an arthritic knee. Also, the strength training my physical therapist has had me doing made me able to take hills on my bike faster that three months ago and I was passing people on the hills of my Sunday bike ride.

    It's all about the hills :smiley:

    Just finished a week and a half of cold/congestion/IBS and didn't gain an ounce. This has not happened in the 24 years since my IBS began. I went to maintenance and ate more carbs but I didn't let that snowball start rolling. Huge for me.

    I went on a 5 day trip to another country and ate too much. I got home, held myself accountable (without needing to blame any circumstances or people), weighed myself, took stock of the damage and went back into my routine without a hitch this morning. By this time next week, I would have repaired the deficit damage.

    This is the sort of thing that would have messed with my head for months before and I would have avoided the scale. I am in a different place now and ready to make small adjustments for these sorts of blips rather than descending into denial and only facing the issue months later when I have gained tons of weight instead of just a teeny bit.

    Good on you!!! I went on vacation last week and did the same as you. I am catching up currently.

    Had a baby by c-section 5 months ago. I've had this pouch above my scar that i had to physically lift up to see my scar and I just noticed this week that the pouch is disappearing because I can see my scar when I look in the mirror.

    My mom is an 83 year old Japanese lady. This weekend she said "You've lost weight". After I have lost 45 lbs and no comment ever. This was not a compliment, just a statement. I'll take it as a huge NSV!!

    I realized today that I have almost completely snuffed out the ugly voice in my head that tells me I can't! Instead I now have a BEAUTIFUL voice that says I can! On my run this morning I came to a hill and that ugly voice said "you can't do that" but immediately the beautiful voice chimed in with " yes you can! And you can kick it up a notch!!" And guess who won :smiley:

    Awesome! love this

    ah! hope this happens to me. I've been checking it every day to see if it's lifting, can't wait to notice that!

    Best thing ever happen two days ago. My office had a dessert pot luck. I brought in cookies to participate, but I DID NOT eat any of the desserts. I simply had my salad and yogurt. Plus I was sitting next to the desserts all day long. So proud of myself!

    Wearing pants a size smaller to work now-a-days and even those want to slip down. I had to go in a bra hook. I really upped my resistance on the elliptical and although I could feel every moment of it, still squeaked out 30 minutes and then 20 minutes on the bike. People are saying "you look a lot smaller, are you losing weight?" and "you look great!" and man, that just makes my entire day.

    Congrats everyone on awesome NSV!!!

    Today I ran (pace = 10 min mile) for 15 min straight. I sprinted another 5 min (in intervals) for a full 20 min of running. This may not sound like much to a lot of people but I have ALWAYS had trouble with endurance and running. I usually do 5k over 35 min with a combo of walking, jogging (for no more than 6 min at a time) and sprinting in 45 and 120 second intervals. Although I know HIIT workouts are better for fat loss (which is what I am focusing on) I really want to see if I can run for 20 or even 30 min flat just because it's something I've never done.
