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!0 -
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.

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.0

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.0

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 3

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!6

If you're being hit on by a 23 yr old, shouldn't it be *Groooowwwwllll*, not meow? ^_^2 -
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.1

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.1

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!-1 -
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!0 -
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!0 -

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!0 -
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. LOL1

Today, I am wearing my one size down jeans and I didn't have to do the elastic around the button hole trick.2

Way to go! I find every pound I lose makes my body happier.0 -
My NSV is that I have just completed week 4 C25K
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!0
