I just pulled out some really old bra from the drawer without realising that it was a size 38 B something I purchased in 2010ish. Till last year I was a size 42 B. Now I wear size 40. Time to update my lingerie drawer I guess. Yay!!!
That's a fun reward.12 -

When doing the grocery shopping, I used to be asked consistently by this one cashier, "Would you like help bringing your bags to your car? It's no trouble!"
Now, 65 lbs lost and after he saw me put a bag with 6 2L soda bottles in it into the cart one-handed, the same guy just said, "You don't need help to your car, do you."
No. No, I don't.
Nice. Great and that's a fun story.6 -
I have two NSVs:
1) I finally got up the courage to use the squat rack (empty bar) at my gym! I now can squat, deadlift, OHP, and bench with AT LEAST the empty bar! Improvement from when I started with 5lb dumbbells
2) A co-worker who belongs to the same gym I do but doesn't go, looked at me this morning and said "Man, I need to get to the gym again because it's obviously working!"41 -
This morning I finished the C25K program, running 30 minutes without stopping. Great sense of accomplishment.52

1. Was getting discouraged that no one was commenting on my weight loss, then I looked at myself in the mirror at the office. I'm literally swimming in my clothes and look like a blob. No wonder no one's noticing.... you can't see me in there!
2. Had to walk back to my desk with my hands in my pockets.... that's all that's holding them up! Might have to schedule a clothing run for pants with belt loops this weekend!50 -
Got off insulin 6 months ago with LCHF and have kept my sugars around 100-130 when testing. Not bad for an A1C of 10.5 (average sugars 255) in Sept 2016. Love so many of the victories I see in these posts.

I was told by someone at my gym that I've become a phenomenal athlete because I'm regularly running races and coming in the top 3 of my age group consistently. Not bad for a middle-aged lady who picked up running 2 years ago:)43

The nurse at the blood bank asked me if I take medicine to keep my pulse/blood pressure so low. Nope!!28

Smaller jeans and a lower bp prescription!33

Today I managed to run further than I ever have before without taking a walking break.
Also managed to eat a proper full English breakfast (sausage, egg, bacon, black pudding, hash brown, beans, fried mushrooms and tomatoes) and astonishingly, didn't go over on calories for the day33 -
Yesterday I took the advice of the wonderful folks on here, ran a slower pace than I'm used to in order to keep my breathing in check...and because of that, I made it all the way up the huge hill in my neighborhood without stopping to gasp for air!!! I've been trying to get up that hill for almost a year.53

Reading these non-scale victories is a lot more motivating than the scale victories are. I need to get my heart in better condition for teaching, (I sigh a lot during lecture, apparently) so the people who are achieving better conditioning are really motivating me right now.
As for me, I actually worked out today, and did not buy ice-cream at the store yesterday. I have a long way to go, but I know I'll get there.37 -

Hey, that bar weighs 45lbs. That's awesome!!!! And for #2, yes, yes it does.16 -
I showered in the open showers. Noone else was in the changing room and I panicked every time I thought I heard the main door. But I did it!
Yay greater body confidence! or greater not giving a toss about what other people think - either way a win!35 -
and....just got my first, 'are you still losing? there'll be nothing left of you!'
have 2-3 stone to go, but THANKS!! hehe30 -
i fell of the bandwagon a little bit and realised that i was still self sabotaging my weight loss.
So i was pondering for a bit and realised that it is okay just to hang in the same weight for a little bit and eat maintenance.
As long as i don't gain it is fine. Sometimes your mind needs to adjust and get used to the new lifestyle.

I had my one-on-one with my supervisor yesterday, and her chairs have fairly high armrests. I noticed when I sat in one that my whole body, plus my arms, fit between the armrests. That was super weird and rather a small thing to notice, but it was awesome nevertheless!32
