I went home and tried on some sleeveless dresses and they look great! previously I only felt comfortable in them with a jacket
I have so many coverups/jackets/cardigans that it is slightly crazy- I am not yet feeling up to sleeveless but I hope to be there soon- congratulations on your NSV!

Two for this week:
1) Fit into one of my shirts in a smaller size from the back of the closet. I've got some really nice clothes waiting for me when I finally drop a full size!
2) Ran for 30+ minutes 3 times. I'm slowly working my way back to being able to run a 5k by October.28 -
4 days in a row of being under calorie goal. Usually I manage 1 or 2 days then go over, even if just by 20 calories. So far this week, though, I've done well! Now if I can make it through the weekend without a splurge, I maybe will have some momentum.26

A pair of shorts I couldn't even button last month button now.28

I can buy clothes at Costco. I have always walked right by that section because they were always misses sizes, but some cute flannel shirts caught my eye and it dawned on me that I usually wear an XL now. Most clothing comes in my size. They had XXL as well, but I decided to try the XL and it fit! I didn't buy it though, because I want sure I would still be an XL in November.20

A while back I put two giant boxes of clothes that didn't fit in the attic. One was "soon" and one was "later" (depending on how much weight I'd need to lose before I could fit the clothes). I cracked open the "soon", and am wearing jeans from it! They're even a little loose.29

Ahh thank you for posting this! I've been wondering why I've been swinging my arms like a crazy person when walking recently - didn't even think about it being because they're not rubbing against my sides anymore!
Let those arms roam free into the air12 -
Today I put on a pair of jeans that I haven't fit into since becoming pregnant with my first son in 1993... and yes I kept those jeans because I always said I would fit into them again after having the baby, after having the next baby, after after after... Not only do I have those 23 year old jeans on today, I can also pull them up and down without unbuttoning them. I wore them today, simply because I could and hell, I thought I was fat 23 years ago when I wore these... little did I know I would be soo much bigger than that some day... 70lbs down, 20ish to go, I got this!!!43

I was so excited by yesterday's dress victory that I went for some new workout tops and found out that I know longer need an X of any kind. And then excited about another victory went home and tried on the Frye boots I was given last Christmas that never fit my calves and they slid right on. I'm so excited. I want it to be fall right now so I can wear them.30

Amid the health issues (and the stresses that go with it), the social eating of this week and next, and overall just not being myself, I have stayed committed to this journey by allowing all these things to fuel my desire to finally stick with it. There would have been a time when even the smallest reason would thrown me for a loop and been excuse enough to through in the towel. Commitment is my NSV.29

I swam 80 laps today, the most I've ever swum. I usually just stop at 40 or a mile. I could have kept going, but they threw me out of the pool to close up.
New Pool Dude today was literally going up and back by the time I was barely half-way down one length. I tried for all I was worth to catch up, and there was just no way. I realized a bit later he was using fins and paddle things on his hands. I'm still proud of beating all the people old enough to be my grandparents.28 -

Oh, la. I'm back. Crazy busy few months on the family side. Sporadic logging... now up 10 lbs from where I was a year ago. The NSV... I know I can use this wonderful tool and that weight will drop right off. Nice to be back here. This is a wonderfully motivating thread.32

I was told I look like "one of those body builder women" while doing my shoulder workout. Yes!!!! That's the point of why I'm lifting heavy.23

I am so happy that I been losing weight, I lost another 2 lbs, I love my swimming aerobics class I attend every morning 6 days a week have really helped me so much with the chronic pain I been suffering with for 3 1/2 years. I got this now! The best thing of all is I'm off all my 14 medications, God is my helper!33

I was snuggling with my 5 year old this morning right after he woke up, which I was taking advantage of because the older ones aren't into snuggling anymore. He wriggled his arm under me so he could hug me while we were laying in the bed. He says, "mommy, my hands are touching! Reach behind you and feel them!" Well, for one, I could easily reach behind me and feel them, but two, he had his hands completely clasped together! Not just finger tips touching. He was holding his own hands. And his arms weren't even tight around me! A FIVE year old! They have little arms, still! ❤️35

@NoraInMt Wow! Talk about a double whammy of motivation. Get hit by a ton of bricks on the realization of how far you've truly come. That there is someone out thier that is seeing you are a role model and inspiration.15 -
Our power went out during a storm and we lost all of our food. We had a last minute cookout to try to save as much as possible, and it was really tempting to eat extra large portions since it was just going to be thrown away if we didn't eat it, but I ate only what was appropriate and stayed under my calorie goal for the day.
Also, took a long long walk around the neighborhood during the time we usually would have spent watching a movie.25 -
I just tried on all my fall clothes from last year, which fit but quite a few were even a bit tight on me last year.
I'm swimming in them and a few shirts looked like I was a kid playing dress up in my mothers clothes. They looked like dresses!21
