    :smile: I just went to visit family in the states and for the first time in quite a few years I did not need a seat belt extender on the plane. I could actually tighten the belt yahoo

    Today marks the first time I have run over 50 miles in one month!

    And the month isn't even over yet. I should hit at least 55 before it's all said and done. I never thought I would be able to say that.

    I thought of another one! I'm down to 1 energy drink a week instead of 1 a day!

    1) I just resisted eating a delicious berry pannacotta.
    2) after 3 weeks of eating well & exercising I can now easily wake up at 5am to exercise instead of rolling out of bed like a zombie at 7.30 for an 8.15am start at work.

    BUMP!

    These are soo motivational when your having a down day. It helps so much to take the time and appreciate the little victories! :) Good job to everyone and their NSV's :):)

    The beautiful white size 6 jeans I just bought last week for this summer season are too big and I kept pulling them up all day at work. I made an off-hand comment about my pants falling down and one of the guys said he wouldn't mind if that happened...lol...made me think maybe I am looking better. I've gone from 244lbs to 141lbs in 9 months and size 20-22 jeans to size 6(?) in that time.

    I've been waiting for progress in my abs for forever, and I am finally starting to get a 'v'!! Very happy. It's nice to notice NSV's because I'm in a lame plateau.

    I agree with you NSV's can be very motivating!

    I don't eat when I'm bored anymore! I only eat when I'm hungry, and have noticed a difference in the way I feel just from that :)!

    Scales are stupid; pictures don't lie (and they tell a thousand words)

    I have a lot of smaller sized jeans I keep locked in the attic..I took them out for motivation n hung them up..The one pair of jeans are i couldnt get over my thighs or *kitten* let alone zipper them..I tried them on the other day just for the hell of it, and i was able to button and have some extra moving room..I hate when the scale doesn't move but my inches come off :D

    Buying 4x scrubs and having the side seam rip on the pants the first week of school. By the 9th week of school the side is repaired and I can wear them with a BP cuff in my pocket(wayyyy bulky lol) . No tearing and I can move around. :)

    this may sound silly, but a regular size bath towel able to fit around me with no gap :) It feels good!!


    OMG, I know EXACTLY what you mean!! It is the little things, isn't it? I have bath sheets from when I was 65 pounds heavier and I can't keep them around me now, they just fall off. I love using a regular sized bath towel!!

    My NSV is pretty hilarious and maybe some girls on here can relate. I have been losing weight very slowly but I've noticed that if I stand up straignt with my legs shoulder width apart...my thighs don't touch anymore!!!!! WOOHOO!!!

    This past weekend I stopped by a yard-sale near my house. This lady was selling a lot of her niece's clothing and I noticed a nice pair of jeans from Abercrombie and Fitch that still had the tag on them. She only wanted $2 bucks--but they were a size 0. I decided to buy them anyway in the hopes that one day my butt might fit in them. Took them home and tried them on.

    Perfect fit :)

    Made me feel nice, even though I realize they probably aren't really a true size 0. If they are, I wonder what the heck actual skinny girls wear. Children's Clothes??

    Same here about the towel. It's nice when I wrap it around me and it goes ALL the way around me :)

    My NSV...
    Noticing I can't eat what I used to cuz it makes me absolutely ILL
    Not ever wanting to eat like that again.
    Waking up feeling awake aaannnndddd
    noticing that now instead of "all that water" being a job, I'm actually thirsty for "all that water" (1 gallon)

    I try to do 30 day shred every day plus some other form of cardio for a negative net for the day. My goal for may is to have a negative net as much as possible. I know I know it's not fantastic for you but it's more to prove to myself that I can do it. And so far I've been able to ride my bike trail a minute faster than before and I can run for 20 minutes straight rather than 15. :)
