I no longer have to pull up my pants every 10 seconds like I have for the past 10 yrs!! (I thought it was a function of menopause) I have a WAIST!!!
(and please someone tell me- what is "NSV"? (I'm guessing "sv" is for "small victory"?)8 -
I was able to fit into a pair of size 18 jeans my sister gave me over a year ago. And they're American Eagle brand which I've found run small sometimes. Pretty excited! Can't wait to pull the rest of my old clothes out of storage!8

. . . . . very close. We all ask in the beginning - Non Scale Victory . . . . like the emergence of your waist.

I did a 5k yesterday and got my best time ever. Then I ran another one today and beat yesterday's time.
I'm trying to do 12 in one year. I have to do 2 more by the end of May to keep my commitment.23 -

A while back, at an assembly at my daughter's school, a woman stood up after about 30 minutes and offered me her seat on the end of a bench. She was a thin woman, with a tiny little rear end. I politely declined, but she insisted, and her (also thin) friend was still on the bench, looking up at me like I was crazy and rude for declining. But I didn't think my butt would fit in the tiny spot she had just vacated!! But I swallowed my pride and decided to let a butt cheek hang off the bench to be polite. But then an amazing thing happened. My butt fit. It fit in the tiny spot her butt had just left! My WHOLE butt! As I realized what was happening, I actually started to giggle to myself with glee. It was a pretty awesomely proud moment.44

Just saw my doctor for blood test results (a medical problem cropped up that made tests essential) - she was really pleased and described them all as "excellent". I'm relieved as I hate having blood taken and worry constantly until I know that the results are good.
I'm now buzzing about having great results much to my teenager's bemusement!12 -
I fit into a dress in my cupboard now just in time for a wedding on Saturday. So no need to buy a new one.11

I didn't pig out this weekend despite feeling annoyed/disappointed/angry with myself for not passing my driving test. I still haven't figured out if I'm going to pursue it anymore and continue being a burden on my husband and those around me or test his patience some more with driving practice. Those low self-esteem demons are mean and very loud and make it very hard for the confident and capable ones to come out victorious13

People fail driving tests all the time. In fact, I just googled, and in my area the failure rate is above 50% for first timers. I told both my daughters to consider the first test as just a practice test.
But congrats on not turning to food for comfort. That's huge.

actually it was my second time. it's extra frustrating because I'm 36 and can't do what most 16 years old are capable. I seem to be missing some fundamental capability that I just can't seem to overcome.1 -

My husband is 36 as well, and JUST got his license by the skin of his teeth. He's still uber-anxious behind the wheel. Don't be to hard on yourself; you'll get it! Is there a local driving school nearby? Most of them let you take a few lessons without having to go through the whole course; the'll charge by the hour instead. Helped hubby out a lot!5 -
I was wearing a pair of Compression workout capris around the house. I knew they were getting a bit loose, no longer a compression fit, but still gym wearable. I slipped my phone into the waist band to free up my hands and it slipped straight down my leg and out the bottom! Thankfully, it caught on my foot and did not fall directly onto the tile floor.
Guess it's time to size down!

can you afford a professional lesson or 2. Perhaps the problem is not you but lack of clear teachig. It's a skill and takes good teaching and good practice to learn.3

My favorite jeans are a boyfriend cut from The Limited. I tried on a pair this weekend and a 12 fit with ease...in all actuality they were too big! I could literally fit both hands down my pants. The pants have a little stretch to them, so I know wearing them throughout the day they will just get bigger. So excited that I actually need at least a 10! Unfortunately the next size down in the store was a 4, so I wasn't able to try another pair on or purchase any.
My mini goal was to get to a 10 by my vacation later on this month, and looks like I'm there in at least one brand!14 -
1. Signed up for a 12 week triathlon training program a week ago.
2. Decided that since I've been maintaining/very slow progress since January that I wouldn't track my food or weight until after the program. Just focus on enjoying the ride and feeling good.
3. Had to go to the doc for something completely unrelated and she said that she hoped I wasn't weighing myself regularly because that's really not where my focus should be. Bingo! High five doc!8
