Push ups... on the floor! No more bench push ups for me... Strength training is paying off.
Next Hurdle - Pull ups! (not assisted)28 -
I went out last night, had way too many drinks, and even though it’s not pretty, I just logged it all
And today, even with the hang over, I stayed within my calories and ran a couple errands by bike instead of staying on the couch35 -
Completed week 6, run 3! I'm starting to like this running lark and that is something that I could never have seen myself saying out loud. Wish I could see a bit more movement on the scales but I'm trying to be patient16

Recently went back to a deficit after maintaining / not logging for a while. I don't see much difference yet, but saw a friend today who exclaimed "You look great! You're wearing makeup today? Or something? What did you do different?" (I was wearing exactly the same minimal makeup I wear everyday). So clearly something good is happening!14

Got on MFP and entered my supper and just over my allowance and knew to stay on track ---NO m&ms for me today. Still thinking of them, but not gonna eat them!
Fantastic show of will power and intentional eating. Checking on the amount before scarfing them down is what we should do each, if we don't pre-log! Very inspiring. Keep up the good work.
Onward!9 -
Free lunch today. I knew lasagna was on the menu and considered just skipping the lunch, but instead decided to scrape out the filling and leave behind the pasta. All the delish, a fraction of the calories and well within carb limits that my blood sugars can respect.14

I (well my boyfriend noticed first) noticed that squats are working for me and I've lost some back fat. I notice a change in my face as well.15

Caught sight of myself from the side in the mirror when I was doing my hair and I have visible lats! Never in my life even when skinny have I had any noticeable muscle in this area. I also think my new muscles are making a big difference to the amount of loose skin I had in my back and armpit area, as well as my upper arms - no more "bingo wings."17

Went downhill skiing yesterday, and a friend of mine convinced me to try blue runs (I was happily sticking to my green run previously). Sooo, the blue runs are much steeper than the green ones, and I ended up falling a few times (surprise, surprise). My NSV was that I was able to stand up, get my skis back and continue down the slopes. And then go up again. When I was on the slopes several years ago, in my worse shape, and fell down on the green run, I wasn't able to get up! I needed my husband to help me, and it was so humiliating!! No wonder I stopped even pretending skiing at that point!
Well, yesterday I was able to stand up on my own, several times, and even if I am bruised and sore in several places after falling down, I am going skiing tomorrow again, to a different mountain, which my friend is dying to show me!22 -
Down 2 plus pants size almost into the next pants size because the current size is a bit baggy also. Makes me so happy, I went through my clothes and pulled out everything that is to big to wear and donating them to a clothes pantry.17

When I first read this post I had to google NSV ... then I waited ... and waited ... to have one!!
FINALLY the day has arrived!!
Well, colleagues at work have been making comments - but I can't actually see much physical difference, so I haven't really felt those as NSV's ... yet. But today, I put on a shirt and it was just quite huge and floaty ... I looked like a clown! I was kind of shocked! I was poking around at where used to be flesh and is now just air! lol. So I have decided to start to box up those larger baggy clothes now and - well bit to nervous to dump them yet -- but in a few months I can get those out of the house. And that box begins TODAY! <-- that is my NSV! *woot woot*40 -
I have had the same experience lately with the floaty shirts. The other day my shirt was exposing far more bosom than appropriate and I had to put it in the donate pile. I keep saying to my husband this shirt got longer or this shirt grew! He corrects me with a smile!19

I ran a 5K race yesterday. I just realized that I didn’t have a single thought about looking fat in my running tights, or feeling conspicuously huge in any way. I did my warm-up without thinking anyone would wonder why such an obviously unfit person was taking the race somewhat seriously. I felt like I fit in and was just another runner. I ran my first race in 1995, and this is the first time I felt like I belonged there.48

Yes I had a couple of similar moments, like when I started being able to get back into some of my clothes from, say, 2009–2012, my husband didn't remember those outfits anymore and thought I'd gone out and bought a bunch of new clothes. I said "No, just they were too small, er, I was too big," and was received with a very entertained reaction

My jaw line is actually pretty defined now. I always just thought it was a genetic family thing and that I wouldn’t have much of a defined jaw line and chin no matter what, but there it is in the too-many selfies I have been taking the past few days.
Also this is really a scale victory, but I am now at a healthy weight! Not at goal but feeling happy.24 -
Yesterday went shopping for a men’s jacket, thought will need XL size, my friend suggested try L size and it fit perfectly. 4 months ago had bought a 3XL jacket. It was overwhelming but was excited and happy. Cannot wait to fit into a M size in next 4 months.32

Managed to get out for a bike ride today - the weather recently has been pretty bad (snow, ice, wind, rain, blah, blah, blah) but today was dry. Out I go to the garage. By the time I've got the bike out and put my gloves, helmet etc. on, it's started to rain. AGAIN.
But it's only spotting so I decide to go and see how far I get.
By the time I've cycled a couple of miles, it's raining a lot harder and I am seriously beginning to doubt the wisdom of my decision. But, I figure that as I'm already wet, I may as well carry on . . .
So on I go. It eventually stops raining, after six miles and I did the remaining 14 miles without a drop of rain in sight.
Got home, put the bike away and the skies opened up.
But at least I by the time I got home I'd dried out. Nothing worse than getting home soaking wet24 -
Recent NSV after 50+ pounds down: Able to have my hair cut short and finally have it look great on me because my face has thinned down so much. I always thought I had a round face but now see that it’s more of an oval shape with a nearly pointed chin. Who knew?!29

I can tie my shoes without having to move my belly and boobs to just the right position to reach them. A couple pairs of jeans that I've got, that were wearable, but tight, are now comfortably snug.24
