Just back from a couple month hiatus :( when a local business brought in cookies and I turned them down! I've been struggling with that but, proud that I passed them off to everyone else in the office that could enjoy them. :smile:

My best friend is getting married in a little over a month when I thought I would try on the dress that I wore to my brother's wedding when it really hit me that I have truly made progress. Yes, I've had to buy smaller clothes and have seen the scale go down but, seeing this is just the confirmation and motivation I…

My family and my best friend's family went camping this last weekend where she took a picture of us and I was sitting down, in SHORTS and I don't hate the picture!

Have a couple this time. :smiley: First off, I had to get some lab work done for insurance purposes and hadn't had any done for years... I got the results back and they were great! Had my doctor look them over, he said I was doing fantastic and didn't need to change a thing! Whew! Second, my kids play travelling baseball…

My boss's grandma said how she had a new girl working for her. My boss was confused but, after asking a few questions, she realized she was talking about me. She said, "Oh no! That's the same gal, she's just lost like 40 pounds and looks amazing!" (It's 55, just saying. Although that constitutes as a scale victory, I just…

I have had a jacket that fit but could not be zipped. I've gotten a few jackets with my weight loss and had hung the old one up a while back. Thought I'd try it on today and it not only zipped but it was loose! A happy dance this morning for me while getting ready. :smiley:

Have been told just today by two different people on how skinny I am getting and that I am wasting away! I know some people take that offensively but not this gal. I have a LONG way to go but, those comments give me the boost I need some times when I don't see it in the mirror. :)

I fit in XL scrub pants when only about 5 months ago, a 2XL was about busting at the seams! :smiley:

What she ^ said!!

My family and I went to see my dad and stepmom as we hadn't seen them since August 2016 at my brother's wedding. My stepmom and I were talking when all of a sudden she's like, "Are you losing weight?! Cuz you look like you've lost weight! You have to be losing weight!" Made my whole day! :smiley:

Walking for me at 2 mph used to be pushing it to where I thought my hips were going to kill me and then just die. :s But now, I comfortably walk at 2.5 mph for my full workout!!! And man does it feel good!! I noticed while still walking at 2 mph, I was walking on the front of my treadmill and about killed myself a few…

My son gave me a hug the other day and said, "Mom, you're always pretty but, you're not as chubby anymore. You're a little chubby like me, but that's ok!" Love that little guy to pieces!

First NSV is that I am officially down 2 pant sizes and 1 shirt size!! I was feeling it in my clothes and finally tried some new clothes on. Definitely a very happy day!! Second NSV is that the holiday season was my kryptonite the last time I tried losing weight. I can't count the treats I've turned down, especially at…

Had another co-worker ask me the other day if I have been losing weight as it really looks like I have been. After I confirmed, she asked what I am doing for it and all the good ole questions. Just kept saying I'm looking great and to keep up the fantastic work. :smiley:

At the office, we get to wear jeans for casual Friday so I figured I'd pull out a pair that were really tight and not very flattering. I put them on this morning and let's just say I am rocking them! They are comfortable and the band isn't digging into my skin. I'm still having a hard time looking in the mirror and seeing…

Love this! Thought I might be the only one who thought about this. But, I tried a bra on again the other day that I have had for quite a while that felt like by the end of the day it was going to slice right thru my skin! I decided to bring it out as I have lost about 25lbs and it fits comfortably!!! I was/am so excited! :D

I work in the clinic where my doctor that helps track my progress is. He personally came to my desk to give me a pat on the back and tell me I'm doing a good job losing weight and keeping with my meal plans and what not. :smiley:

Even as crappy as I felt today and horrible back pain, I did it. I still got my toosh on the treadmill and did my minimum 45 minute walk. Thought I was going to die mid way thru but, the further into my walk I got, I felt better! :)

My boss asked me how much I've lost so far as she said she can really tell I've lost weight.

It wasn't long but, for the first time in a very long time, I jogged for almost 2 minutes during my 55 minute walk!! And it felt great!! Even with the little bit I have lost the last month, it just FEELS different when I jogged. Maybe some day I can take a run, slow run, with my sister. ;) (She has ran 2 marathons!)

Thank you everyone for posting those! I look forward to trying some new things. :)

I put on a pair of wind pants I had been given as a gift a while back that were just too snug for my liking and put them on today. They fit comfortably!!! So excited!!! Way to go everyone on your NSV's!!!!

Thank you and you as well!! It's amazing how cravings change!! :))

I used to be a huge, Huge, and I mean HUGE pop drinker. Coke in particular. It was nothing to drink 75 oz. a day! This Saturday will mark 3 weeks without ANY pop what-so-ever!!

Congratulations! I am striving to be able to make that statement in a year or so as well!!

You are an inspiration! I am beginning my journey at almost the 3 and enough is enough!

Congratulations! How did you do it?!?
