While doing my 150 walk in March at the mall yesterday, I stopped in a H&M store. I tried on a cute black leather jacket and when I looked in the mirror I was so happy because not only did it fit, but I thought it was actually cute on me. NSV goals reached- 1) I Had the courage to walk in a regular (non plus size) store…

Hi everybody. My goal this month is to lose 5 lbs and to walk 150 miles. 1) haven't lost anything :( 1) Have walked 16 miles so far-surprising :) kind of have the flu right now, but am going to try to do my 5 miles today on my elliptical instead of outside or at the mall.

I would love to go from 185 to 180 this month. , but the scale does not seem to be moving. I am doing a challenge of 150 mile in March, so that's my biggest challenge and hopefully it will help move the scale. At the very least I will be way more fit and have had accomplished something I've never done in my whole life,

If you had asked me a year ago if I though that I would be 100 pounds lighter this year, I would have been terribly embarrassed and probably changed the subject.[ Up till last February, I would spend most of my walking hours dreaming of being skinny, or hating my looks, or planning ways to get skinny. Everyone on this site…

You should measure and take pictures. I wish I did from the start, but only started 4 months ago. You will be so excited to have real measurable results not just the scale.

Some goals I am working on this month -walk about 5 miles a day ( crazy group I just joined) -stop snacking while I pack lunches -dress pretty, regardless of not being at goal weight yet

First of all. You are so ahead of most of us. I didn't start exercising till I had lost 70 pounds. You are smart exercising from the beginning. . I find that i mostly walk for cardio or go on the elliptical . I do a series of arm exercises with weights, lots of lunges, squats, dips and push ups scattered throughout the…

Some NSVs that have happened to me over the last year- crossing my legs, trimming my own toenails , trying Zumba classes, joining a gym, walking in the gym, doing a plank, curling up in an easy chair, fitting comfortably in a theater/plane seat, getting shocked comments and encouragement from people who I haven't seen in a…

I feel like I'm following you all over this site, you have interesting things going on. I am pretty new the idea of looking at NSVs . But I agree that NSVs are a great celebration of everything that shows how we are getting our life back. This is a really great way for all of us to get encouraged. I stared last Feb. to get…

It was my first month at a gym and I surprised myself by trying so many new things. So far I have used the elliptical, cycle, strider, treadmill, free weights and machines. I took Zumba classes, step and a yoga class. It is freeing to try new things and feel good about your efforts. I lean so much from reading everyone's…

What a special time for you and your family. I have 6 children. With my first son, I'll never forget. I had handmade this little outfit with knickers and little bunny buttons.
