I hit my held low plank goal yesterday of five minutes.32

A couple I experienced yesterday. I jogged up some stairs that go up a hill while at the lake because it seemed like a good idea. Even though the incline wasn't very steep, last year I was slightly out of breath WALKING them. This year I jogged up and it didn't even phase me. Also, while at the lake I have a friend who just loves to take candid photos and then post them to face book. *shudders* While browsing through I found what she posted this morning from yesterday. Bikini pic of me sitting on the boat - relaxed posture. (I was unaware I was being photographed, so no sucking it in!) While still a bit chubby, I looked WAY better then last year. I might have to steal it and use as a progress photo. Her candid Facebook pics are one of the reasons I got started this year. I remember looking at them going "OH wow... That's how I look? I've gotta do something about that!" Now I should use them to keep going! LOL.30

I can fit into size 8 jean shorts. When I look at them - they look too small for me - but when I start putting them on, they actually fit. I still have this gap between what my mind thinks my body size is, and what my body size really is - if that makes sense.34

I discovered I have ribs...26

Makes perfect sense to me - eventually you’ll get used to your new size5 -
I went running again. It was raining again. I went anyway.38

I have this mental gap, too. I look at my jeans and think, "OH GOD THEY WON'T FIT." And when they do, I'm like, "Wow, I guess I stretched them suckers out." Or I'll catch myself in the mirror and go, "There's no way I fit into my pants." And yet I do.
In my mind, I must be like the ChangingSizesWoman: in an instant, shrinking to fit into pants and then as soon as them puppies are off, BAM, expanded again. I know it's not true, but that's how it feels.
As for an NSV... I had a GREAT birthday, but y'know how it goes. Water weight, water weight, water weight! I had a lot more sugar than I normally eat (or like!). So of course, I plumped up on some water weight. BUT. I figured, wth, I'll measure a few places. (Official measure day is next Saturday). And yahoo. DOWN AN INCH/HALF AN INCH in the important places (hips, calves, thighs).
I'm in the hard part of weight loss: no real immediate goal, the next goal feels like it's across the desert I'm crossing without water, and a bit of a plateau (probably more masked water weight from hormones/birthday/yesterdays excesses). Every little bit helps!24 -
NSV for me this evening: I ordered dominoes and ate less than half the pizza. Previously I would have eaten at least three quarters if not the whole lot. I physically don't feel like I could have eaten any more than that as I feel really full. Listening to my body and acting on it is definitely something new for me26

Upon further investigation I found it to be... a rib. Pretty embarrassing NSV but I'm counting it!
Vonny - your NSV made me laugh. You are not the first person to discover that there are bones in there somewhere.

Theres a gap between my neck and shirt collar now. It used to feel like my neck was the hulk and that little tiny button had to resist.25

Thought I'd try on a few of my pre-pregnancy clothes. I've had two babies in two years and my youngest is now a year old. Practically everything from pre-preg either fits or is too big. The stuff I had between babies I'm swimming in. I'm not as muscular as I was before babies but I'm feeling great knowing that I've got my old wardrobe back. And I'm working on getting that muscle back too30

I made it to the gym for circuit training. Twice in one week. Now for the other 1998 times I need to go. One at a time.,,21

Ran 3,5 km with average time of 6 m 30 seconds per km. Breaking all kinds of personal records here 😀16

I wore a shirt that was hanging off me and felt too big. I am just seeing a change in my body this last month. I have been plateaued and looking into options. 3 days straight of posting my food diary is a victory after a month away.
Proud I recommitted.21 -
270 days in a row of logging on mfp.18

Having the same clothes fit but with the new, strange and exciting feeling of tightness from a lean frame that has gradually replaced a flabby one. Just reaching forward and feeling the shirt tighten around the shoulders/lats. Feelsgoodman.jpg20

Saw a reflection of myself in the window as I walked towards my office, my arms are noticeably thinner. Its short sleeves weather so I hadn't noticed it in my clothes. Yay, Glad to have something to post in this thread!

I’ve been away for a month - but I was back in body pump on Wednesday and today I’m back at couch to 5k. I was worried I would have lost all progress but I managed a 7m and a 10m jog at my usual pace so that’s pretty much week2 day 2! I’ve only gone back two weeks
Also I came back from a month of exercise and good eating only a tiny bit bigger than when I left. My jeans that just fit when I left are only just a touch too tight9 -
My very first NSV, it’s taken months, but I’ve taken 45 seconds off my rowing pace since first starting. I’m super happy. Still much progress to be made.21

I fit into the dress! I bought a dress online for my best friend's wedding. The sizing was different and I bought it too small. When I first got it I thought there was no way I'd fit into it. But then I did. And it was a beautiful wedding and I was able to enjoy myself without worrying about not fitting it.35
