    I posted a topic about it but I guess no one thought it was as awesome as I did haha...

    last night I went to the Relay for Life walkathon in my hometown.
    The track around the football field was what we walked all night long. I walked 6 1/2 hours and I made 40 laps around!!! Amazing!
    I feel so accomplished!! If I had tried to do that last year I would have probably barely made 10 laps before giving up. I am tired and sore but feel so good today!!

    I shopped at Black and White for the first time ever and bought a size 8!!!! I didn't know I would fit a size 8.. I spent so much money there I'm a lifetime member and have a discount all the time I shop now!

    (Not so NSV.. hubby was in shock when he saw how much I spent, but then realized how HOT I looked in the clothes)

    I had two big NSV's over the weekend!

    For the first time EVER I fit into Victoria's Secret PINK clothing; I'm going back this weekend to buy a pair of yoga pants that I've always wanted :happy:

    My second NSV was not getting winded taking the very steep stairs at our local beach (well over 50 stairs)!

    The other day I was doing some light toning with 2 10 pound weights and it occurred to me - wow this is how much weight I've lost. Knowing that the 20 pounds I was holding in my hands used to be amount of fat I was carrying in my body made me feel so proud that I had gotten that far! Yay me!

    My biggest NSV is that I've lost 15 inches on my stomach alone since Jan 12. My husband can wrap his hand all around me. He can lift me up. 2x shirt are loose on me and many more!

    I think this is too cute.

    I teach a class of students, most of whom are second language learners. They often struggle with language, trying to find exactly the English word they're looking for.

    Last week, one of my girls said, "Ma'am, you look...how you say...you look...less wide than you did before."

    Oh that's gorgeous.

    I bought some slightly-too-small capri pants in a charity shop a few weeks ago and today I'm wearing them with a bit of room to spare.

    I enjoy doing laundry because every time I fold something, it looks so small compared to what I used to wear and I can't believe I fit into it :happy:

    i had to work 8 hours longer than usual and at a more challenging physical pace. and i had to carry several sets of heavy keys in the pockets of my already too loose jeans. well after 16 hours of running, bending, reaching, etc., it was all i could do to keep these pants up! i finally folded the waistband over a couple of times and safety pinned it down. i really dont ever recall being miserable because my pants were too *big!

    Try your comment again - and "quote" the individual you read that about - so that they can see your question....

    Such a happy thread!

    After not losing for the last few weeks, this weeks,

    1. My wedding ring fits.
    2. My current size clothes are too big and the next-sized down ones are fitting easier and better-will be there soon!
    3. I do believe that I was honked at.
    4. I've been asked twice this week if I am losing.

    So nice to have these reinforments!

    Good luck everyone!
