What's Your Most Recent NSV

A grocery clerk I speak to when I go shopping noticed my loss. Made me feel good.

While doing my workout routine today, my 6 year old said, "mom I like doing this with you it's fun." She often times laughed at my lunges or squats and she definitely got a chuckle out of my sit-ups. We then went outside and she walk/jogged with ms and we laughed and talked the whole time. After our walk she asked me to play basketball with her and I did. 5 weeks ago I would have been sitting in the house watching TV or surfing the web, never would j have been outside walking. For my daughter to see the changes I would not change that for the world. I may not see changes in the scale but I feel better and I enjoy life more. My enjoyment in life was a good meal, planning and cooking or scoping out new restaurants, now I try to beat yesterday's fitbit steps for a new high. The scale isn't the only meausre of success.

My 7 year old also likes to walk/jog with me. She laughs, too. She can walk and keep up with my jog and she can run backwards and keep up with my jog. She still seems to enjoy it though. Last night she told me I'm getting faster.

One of my favorite shirts, that I haven't been able to wear for at least three years, fits again. Yay!

I'm wearing size 32 jeans! It has to be more than 20 years since I was able to wear this size!

As others on the forums have suggested, I went 'shopping' in my closet. I dug out every last piece of clothing I had. And none of my old stuff fits. At. All. Baggy and loose and tent-shaped. Time to do some real shopping!!

I taught my fitness class today after having been hit by a car on my bike three weeks ago.

I passed on homemade pumpkin pie with whipped cream during break time today. I'm all for everything in moderation, but I really wanted to stick to the plan I made for myself for this week. I ate the apple I brought and was satisfied!

Passed on free pizza and candy at work today, despite one coworker kind of rubbing the pizza in my face. Boss dubbed me 'the only one with any willpower' though, so there's that. LOL.

I sometimes feel like the photos I post on social media, from trips and things, make me look smaller or thinner than I am. I know a few women who only post ultra-flattering selfies that make 'em look 10 years younger and 40 lb lighter than they are so I'm always really conscious of not wanting to be "THAT LADY". Twice in the past month I've run into old acquaintances who have only seen me (in the past couple of years) on social media, and they have had major reactions to my current size like "OMG I didn't realize you had lost this much, you look awesome!" and "You look athletic, I knew you dropped some weight but I had no idea it was like this...wow". Made me feel AMAZING especially since I've been bouncing around the same 5 lb for a year. But still, I'm down 130 from my heaviest so I'll take it...

That's incredible, way to go!

posted this yesterday on my page but thought I'd share again.

Last night I decided to try on the dress that made me want to lose weight. After seeing pictures of me in it on New Years Eve I was disgusted by how fat I'd gotten. Last night I tried on the same dress and couldn't believe it was a little baggy on me. My favorite NSV so far

I've always loved fall fashion....sweaters, tights, boots, scarves, hats, gloves, etc. you name it I love it! But last fall I didn't love it so much. Nothing fit, or if it did it was just too tight. I couldn't get my boots to zip, and to top it off this cute short waisted pea coat I purchased maybe 2 years ago I literally couldn't get on because my arms wouldn't fit through the sleeves! Mind you 2 years ago I could comfortably wear this coat while even wearing a sweater under it, so I was shocked last year when it didn't fit. I refused to purchase another coat so I just went through last winter layering sweaters with a fleece (luckily it doesn't get too cold here).

For maybe the past month every week I try it on...and a few weeks ago while I could put it on, the upper part of the sleeves were still too tight to be comfortable (only a tank top on!) and still a little too tight across the upper back. I tried it on last night and OMG it fits! All the way buttoned up and everything! The sleeves are comfortable, and honestly around the chest/stomach area it's almost too big. Hopefully once I put a sweater underneath it will look less frumpy! It's not even close to getting cold here yet, but can't wait for fall/winter!

Time to find another piece of clothing to try to get back into, to keep me motivated!

P.S. I have read every post in this thread.....love, love, love it very motivating! Please keep posting!

I took my skinny jeans out of the dryer this morning, pulled them up my legs and buttoned them. There was zero tugging, tucking, squeezing, or sucking in. This was a major thing for me.

Well I haven't lost weight recently, but... for some reason, I've been noticing that my 13s are quite loose on me. Actually have room in the legs and can pull them up all buttoned up. Yay!
