What's Your Most Recent NSV

I just ran for my train. Well, I moved my arms and legs faster than normal and it was downhill but still, after years of avoiding running I made an attempt.
My too loose trousers were falling down too so two in 1.

I had to buy smaller bras, underwear, and all my wedding bands resized two smaller sizes!!!

I noticed a bit of definition to my upper arms yesterday in the shower!

bought a dress at Target and it is size medium!!! I caught the ball and got the last out for our kick ball team. We lost the game but i was so proud of myself!!!!

Chatted with our next door neighbor & she told me I was melting away. Hubby said later "You realize she called you a witch, right?" Funny hubby. Anyway, neighbor asked me how & I plugged MFP & the wonderful, supportive community I've discovered. Thanks folks ~ you are my inspiration!

Ran a full 10k! My first! 1:19:30. Not fast, but I ran the entire time.

This is a huge accomplishment ! Well done

I now have a prominent Adam's apple. I didn't even realize until looking in the mirror today. I could always see it (barely at my heaviest), but it's very pronounced now.

I haven’t lost any pounds since April 1st, just losing and gaining the same 2 pounds, but somehow all my coworkers swear I’m disappearing. I have a coworker who is very small and petite( 5ft and 115lb ish) . She thinks I’m getting closer to her size. I’m 5’2” 138lb. Anyway everyone else is seeing changes that I don’t see with my weight loss stalling.I measure the same 3- 4 body parts ( hip, waist, bust, sometimes arms), I guess I must be losing inches in other areas that is noticeable to others. I was hoping I would’ve lost enough weight to achieve a normal BMI by end of June but I doubt that’s going to happen. Nonetheless I’ve successfully lost 37lbs and kept it off so far, so that’s still worthy of a celebration. I’m not going to be greedy, even if I lose weight at a rate of 0.25lb a month, it’s still a lose and definitely better than gaining.

Had two happen today!
1- I decided to try on those jeans in the back of my closet that when I started this wouldn’t even go up my thighs (literally with zipper undone they would get stuck at mid thigh) today I had them all the way up and buttoned!! Still too tight but it’s close!
2- my hair dresser said I looked great and “where did you go?”

This is my best one in a long time...bear with me because there's a bit of background. I used to help out at my family's store around 2003-2005. I was 26-28 at the time but had a very short pixie haircut and was right around 270-280 lb. I usually wore a uniform of baggy (men's XXL) polo shirt with the business logo and capris or whatever. I wasn't quite that frumpy in my everyday life but working in the store, I was helping out with busy season & I was not really at my best.

Last week I was at Sam's Club with my dad, and he said hi to a lady passing by. I thought nothing of it because my dad knows a lot of people in this smallish city. Apparently he saw this same lady again this morning and she said to him, "I saw you with your granddaughter! She looks JUST like her mom!" And my dad was confused because he doesn't have a granddaughter and he said "Oh that was my daughter" and the lady said "Oh, I thought she was the daughter of (My Name) who worked in the store with you sometimes, I guess they just look A LOT alike!" and my dad told her no, that's the same daughter, she's just lost weight and changed quite a bit since then.

She got flustered and embarrassed - but he made her feel better by telling her that I would LOVE this story, that she thought I was this younger person. He's right!!

What do you do when your FitBit has reached the last possible hole? Hope I don't lose more weight in my forearm/wrist? Build more muscle there? I am about ready to move to the last hole! I guess I could buy a smaller strap.

So there you have it... my most recent NSV

Sliding shorts (even with the drawstring pulled tight!) on the treadmill today.

Having to ask “do you do any smaller sizes?” In a fancy posh clothes shop with snotty 15 year old staff.

Buy a smaller band. I had to beg a watch manufacturer to install a wide women's band on my favorite watch (it's a men's watch) as my wrists shrank a lot. It was a bday gift and a Tag Heuer, so I didn't want to get rid of it.

-I played a sand volleyball tournament on Friday night in actual volleyball shorts and a tank top. Usually I’d wear running shorts and a tee. A friend took pics and I felt and looked good!
-I ran a mile today to see how fast I could go and did it in 9 min. I’m still bewildered hours later. 80lbs down, 20 to go!
