I sat on a swing in the park last night and was totally comfortable. I even did a bit of swinging. Last summer I would have never tried for fear of breaking the swing.19

I just found "that" picture, the one from around the holidays, the one that made me realize I had to do something. My jacket would barely close around my belly, and don't get me started about my non-existent jawline. So I decided to recreate it, or the outfit anyway. I have several extra inches in the jacket now, and a neck!

I'm in my thirties and I've had three babies back-to-back. I started MFP after I finished nursing my third baby. For the past two years, I have had great success staying in my calorie goals with MFP and running 3-5 times a week. My legs, arms, and abs still have plenty of fat and cellulite and my breasts are stretched and sagging. My NSV is that for the first time in my life, I don't care how out of shape I look on the outside, because I know I am very healthy on the inside! I feel out-of-this-world-amazing when I run, I crave healthy food and I have tons of energy to tackle the day with my active kids. The healthy eating, exercise habits, and zest for life I learned on MFP are being passed on to my kids! I don't look anything like a fitness model, but I could care less because I am LIVING and I feel ALIVE!!!48

am in a tshirt I bought when I was 16. (lets hear it for it lasting 15 years! and was worn pretty regularly) I am going to the shop at lunchtime to get a plain black tshirt that fits better! am struggling to believe I may be smaller than at 16!! (cannot believe it at all of my belly!!)
hmmm, the tshirt may have stretched after 15 years of wear and washing! meh - still counting it as an NSV22 -
I can hoist myself out of my kayak again without having to literally fall out of it. It had sat in our garage for a couple of years because I'd be literally stuck in it and couldn't easily get out.
Weight loss and stronger legs corrected that.
Thank goodness, otherwise I would have missed an absolutely gorgeous evening yesterday.

On vacation this week and I've had several. Kind of a sucky one but my niece keeps trying to force me into the middle of the bench in the backseat because, according to her, "I'm the skinny one in the family." (Kids...!) Also my MIL keeps calling me "Skinny Minny."23

Absolutely. If you go for a walk in the woods and your tracker doesn't track it, did it really happen?25 -
Wearing another size smaller pants today! I've gone down 4 sizes since starting back in Dec!
Another NSV, this whole week I've had a really bad cold.. felt miserable every day. But I have managed to stay under/at calorie goal and have gotten a small walk in each day. I can't wait to feel better, this has been brutal!26 -
Was sitting on the floor in family room, and hubby offered to help me up. I declined his offer and got up easily, without leaning on furniture, or huffing and puffing myself into position. He commented on how easy that has become for me again, he knows I used to!27

I noticed today that I've stopped walking short distances (eg, between the house and the car). Nowadays I run and it seems totally the natural thing to do.
And my son has just told me that he wants to start 10km training (and is considering the half-marathons as well)30 -
My pants are looser, down another belt loop, lifting better and heavier in the Gym. And I’m feeling better about myself. #Winning24

I just bought a new belt; the old one was simply too big. Also, my mother, and then some some co-workers who I hadn't seen in a while, commented on my weight loss.
These are the types of things that keep me going forward.22 -
Ordering a combination of size 12 and size 10 shorts and being SHOCKED when the all of the 10s fit perfectly and the 12s all have space!26

I fit into size medium scrub pants for the first time in 5 years! Last year (1 year after having my first baby) I was in XL! ☺25

I had to buy myself a "fake" wedding ring because mine got too small to wear. $20 at Target, it's quite lovely actually. Well, today I noticed that my larger sized fake wedding ring keeps spinning around when I'm trying to type at work. Must be getting too big! Maybe my real wedding ring will fit me again soon.28

I have been tired and grumpy this week- and have managed to go to the gym 4 out of the last 5 days. I am going to go again tonight, to make it 5 out of 6 days. Also, I have fallen completely in love with foam rolling (even though it sucks while you do it)- totally has made a huge difference in my post-workout recovery.16

I just saw one of my husband's friends whom we haven't seen for too long - I called out to him and got his attention, he turned around and did the complete "who is this woman/double take/OMG it's Madwife2009".
I fully expected him not to recognise me being as I'm virtually half the woman I was the last time he saw me but I'm so glad he realised who I was before I had to tell him. At least I'm not totally different to how I used to be!
It was really good to see him as well, he's a great bloke and seeing him made me realise how much we've missed him! And, he didn't say a word about my changed appearance, thank goodness - I hate it when people don't see ME but see the weight loss.20 -
My husband and I are basically treating house sitting for a friend as this year's vacation, so we've been eating out a lot (which also saves on having to cook in a strange kitchen). Yesterday we went to a BBQ place where we used to go before I was diagnosed with diabetes, and split one pulled pork dinner, with me skipping the bun. Even without the bun this is not a diabetic-friendly place to eat - there's a whole bunch of added sugar - the slaw and beans are both very sweet, the sauce is sweet, and then of course French fries have carbs too - so I was a little nervous about whether I'd be able to handle it at all. But I pulled up the menu on MFP and tallied an acceptable number of carbs and calories before we went.
In the olden days I would have eaten the whole dinner myself, plus we would have gotten a giant onion ring loaf. Half a dinner turned out to be more than enough food (in fact my husband had to ask for a box for himself) plus I gauged how many carbs I could handle almost perfectly - I don't like my post meal blood glucose reading to go above 140 and it peaked at 137. Not an every day meal, but it's nice to be able to enjoy it once in a while without hurting my health.
I stopped by home to do my HIIT exercises, did about half my usual arms routine, swam in the pool for hours, and when I got up this morning my blood glucose levels were perfect!30
