NSV I ran 5 miles without stopping! I also went swimming for the first time in a long time and even felt confident enough in my fitness levels to join the people doing laps (I was in the slow lane but it felt good to be able to swim non stop for 50 mins).
Well done to everyone for their efforts so far!0 -
Sorry I haven't been posting much this month... busy, I guess, but still very focused on weight loss (or at least "wanting" weight loss). I haven't gotten into a routine with exercise yet (gym membership has expired and the cold weather came back), so I'm trying to lose by mainly diet which is difficult.
I still have one pesky pound that I am battling with so I can be sure to have a successful 10 pound loss weigh out at my gym before the end of the week (which will mean $100 membership refund!).
@Belle - you're doing great!!! I'm waiting for warmer weather so I can start running again.0 -
I'm in!
NSV - My jeans that I got for christmas and couldn't even zip up completely fit now!

So far so good, but I have a feeling I'll have reversed it this week. Combination of Easter (chocolate) and being off work for a week (more wine than usual).

NSV - I have been dying to try to run for a long time since I've lost a bit of weight, and my husband bought me a treadmill as an early mothers day gift. My NSV is I can run for 35 min in a row!!! I never thought I could run! I have 3 herniated disks in my back and honestly never thought this was possible. I run 3x a week now and I am over the moon with excitement

I did it!! I went for my 3 month weigh-out at the gym, and I lost 10.5 pounds which qualified me for my membership refund! Laugh if you will, but I really wasn't sure if I was going to make it or not, so I wore my absolute lightest dryfit workout clothes, removed all jewelry and other non-essentials such as socks, bra and panties!!! I even contemplated hacking my hair off... [I'm growing it out to donate it; and it's currently down to my waist.] :laugh:
I'm going to take the $100 and go buy some new running shoes, since the warmer weather is coming. I guess I'm what's considered a fair weather runner, so I have to build myself up every spring, as I get completely out of shape over the winter. I started slowly tonight, and simply walked the 5k loop around the farm property in my neighborhood. So nice to get out and not freeze, and to still have a bit of light on my way home at 8:30pm.0 -

NSV- Fitting in to a pair of jeans I inherited from my mom (she's cool, there good jeans) after she lost a bunch of weight. I inherited the jeans ooooooh.... 5 years ago? Have held on to them because I was always annoyed I couldn't fit into my mom's FAT JEANS! So I said I would keep them until I could fit in them, and now I can
