    7.5 minute mile for 8 miles (granted on a treadmill but still). This was one of my goals to hit last year. Next goal is 7 minute mile for 8 miles (treadmill). and 7.5 minute mile for 8 miles outside.

    Awesome!!

    YaY. A visit to my GP has resulted in me being taken off my BP meds (check in a month to make sure my 'excellent' BP wasn't drug induced). It seems my kidney function results are good enough for me not to need to keep taking them (it seems the meds have an impact on kidney function too).

    She also celebrated my weight loss and suggested that I didn't need to lose any more. (I consider myself to be in maintenance.
    An excellent outcome!

    This is a strange one, lol. But, hopefully somebody will appreciate it. My cat always lays on one of my legs when I watch tv. For the last couple times, he has dug his paws into the side of my thigh like he was going to fall off. Lol. I think my thighs are getting smaller!


    Hahaha, as a cat lover I can totally relate to that! Congrats!

    Poor thing! You'll have to buy him something chubby to lay on!

    I use my asthma inhaler less frequently--used to be everyday, now less than 1x a week. I can carry a large, full, laundry basket from my house to my car without getting out of breath. And today, I discovered that I can now reach my arms behind my back and clasp my hands together. I have such a long way to go, but recognizing these small victories are helping me stay motivated.

    Those are fabulous: Go, you! Improved health, improved fitness, improved flexibility!

    I decided to push hard on my regular bicycle route today, and see if I could average at least 12mph - and I did!

    (Don't laugh, real cyclists: I'm an old lady on a hybrid bike; and a rower, not a cyclist. Plus there were hills (sort of).)

    Made me happy, anyway. :):smile:

    As of Friday, I was able to fit into a brand (and size) of jeans that I couldn't fit into since COLLEGE. I am still on cloud 9 about it. They were my favorite brand and then I grew out of them and NONE of their sizes fit me. Now, I am back in the brand AND the size. I still have a LONG way to go. So it is the little things like this that keep me motivated.

    Went to the mall yesterday to get a birthday present for my niece. Decided to pop in to Forever 21 and see what they had for winter. All of my sweaters are baggy and I look unkempt at work. There was one sweater I found last year in a L that was a little snug but I could make it work, so I decided to try on another L and see how it fit this year. 1 sweater I got in a large, and the other ended up fitting how my sweaters do now...and I was able to get it in a MEDIUM. I was so excited and the fitting room attendant looked at me like I had 8 heads. I'm sure it's one of those cardi's you're supposed to wear baggy and I'm wearing it wrong but oh well.

    All of my black dress pants I wear to work are extremely baggy on me, including the size 8s I ordered less than 2 months ago. This kind of stinks, but it is an issue I can get over :)

    I got hit on by a very handsome 23 yr old guy....this has nothing at all to do with weight success, as much as success in just plain feeling attractive again, I guess. At 46 years old, I don't expect younger men to bother with me, much less be obvious about their interest...lol. It felt crazily exciting!! LOL!! Meow!

    If you're being hit on by a 23 yr old, shouldn't it be *Groooowwwwllll*, not meow? ^_^

    NSV of the week is seeing family that I hadn't seen in years. Love my family and missed them, so the reactions to my weight loss are just the cherry on top.

    I feared starting month 2 of Insanity. I drew inspiration from Marcus Luttrell's book, Lone Survivor. And, started my Month 2. Yesterday I did Max Int Circuit, and today Max Int Plyo. Survived.

    My most recent NSV is taking a selfie with my daughter and seeing dimples again! I have hated how I've looked for so long and I actually don't hate this picture and my dimples are back. Can't remember the last time I saw those, I know it was when a Bush was in office! Even the fact that I was willing to take a selfie is a NSV in itself. I really needed that motivation, too. Have been becoming complacent recently, so thank you God! What's your recent NSV?

    What's a NSV?

    It stands for Non-Scale Victory. It's a different measurement of the new you! Hate relying on a scale to see changes. I find these to be very motivating, especially when the scale gets stuck!

    I had a lady at the Y say to me "you've lost a lot of weight. Are you OK?"

    I said yes I have worked very hard to lose this weight.

    One lady said I should stop losing. I am still 10 lbs overweight on the medical weight charts. But I am good with where I am now. Just need to stay there.

    My NSV is that I am sticking with it! I have gone from a 26W to a 22W....47 lbs gone and only a few people have noticed. In the past I would let that get me down but for some reason this time I don't care if people notice or not because I notice and I feel good! This is the first time that I don't feel like I am dieting but instead its a life style change for me. Still have 80 lbs to go so my journey is far from over but its 1 lb and 1 day at a time for me this time! :-)

    Good for you! That's awesome. Keep going! 1 pound at a time adds up fast!

    Goal pants close! I won't be wearing them for about a month but they close!

    I decided out of curiosity to try on something in a shop I once couldn't fit into a single item in. They go up to a 14. I was looking for motivation and picked up size 10s, sure that I was firmly a 12 still. They fit!!!! I am still in shock.

    Lastly, I left food on my plate because I recognised that I was full. This has possibly never happened before. I am a plate clearer.

    Plate clearer here too. That's a real sign of change!

    A few weeks ago I bought a top from a 'normal' size shop online (which usually means get it a couple sizes bigger so it will actually fit right.) When it arrived I was swimming in the 3X. It was actually falling off me. I should have exchanged it but didn't know what size to guess at so I just returned it. Last week I still wanted that top BADLY so I ordered it again in an XL. I hoped it would fit me towards the end of summer. It arrived today and fits perfectly everywhere! I started at a size 42W. I *never* thought I'd actually make it down to an 18 in my adult life.

    Congratulations! You are doing awesome!

    I just finished golfing 18 holes and I had one of best scores of 115 at this course. I took up golf in the spring and the first time I played this course my score was a 156. I am ready to go back out and golf another 18 holes but I can not find anyone to golf with this afternoon. LOL

    Today, I am wearing my one size down jeans and I didn't have to do the elastic around the button hole trick.

    My NSV is that I have just completed week 4 C25K :p
    I am eating about 1500 calories a day and weighed about 257 lb at 5"5 when I started.. No idea what I weigh now but when I started the C25K I didn't think I could run for even 5 seconds!
