NSV that has nothing to do with weight loss or fitness...
It was exactly one year ago today that I quit smoking! After being a smoker for 24 years, I never thought I'd make it this far but I did!! AND I didn't gain a single pound! I lost 50 instead. :bigsmile:

34 pounds gone!
Like most of us, I'm sure, I was having a hard time seeing my weight loss. My husband has been telling me for a couple months that he can really see the difference. I couldn't see it...until I was looking through old pics on the computer and ran across this before picture. Wow! I can't believe anyone allowed me to leave…

Anyone using a smith machine for squats?
I have been failing miserably on squats. I was progressing pretty well until I hit 85 pounds and now I just can't finish 5 sets without tipping either forward or backward. I dropped the weight back down to 75 and started lifting barefoot, thinking maybe my shoes were causing me to rock. At 75 pounds I was ok, but still…

I couldn't care less...
I see and hear this constantly, and it drives me insane. :huh: It isn't 'I could care less'. That would indicate that yes, you could in fact care less than what you do. It's 'I could NOT care less'. Sorry for the interruption. .Thank you for your patience. We now return you to your regularly scheduled program. :wink:

NSV...I can see my collar bone!
Unfortunately I didn't take any before pictures, so of course I see no difference at all. My husband tells me though that he can most definitely FEEL a difference in my body. :blushing: I'm starting to see my collar bone and when I showered last night, I looked down and could see my toes!! :bigsmile: I've only lost 3…

A tiny little "work still in progress" success story.
I say tiny, but it's huge for me! :smile: I just started SL 5x5 two weeks ago...took my measurements and weighed myself the day before I started. It's been two weeks, and I was scared to death to get on that scale again this morning, let alone get out that measuring tape! I'm so glad I did! I've lost 2 pounds, an inch from…

A little tip I'd like to share...
Make sure that when you weigh yourself, you place your scale in the same place EVERY time. When I weighed myself yesterday morning, someone was in the bathroom so I couldn't place the scale in the usual spot. It showed a 3 pound gain in 2 days. This morning I weighed again, but again it wasn't in my usual spot. Another 2…

Hello!
Hi everybody. :smile: Obviously, I'm new here and need to lose weight and make some lifestyle changes. My name is Cathy, I'm 41 years old, married and have 3 children. I've been "chunky" since I was a teenager...never what I personally would have considered obese or, as my doctor told me in December, morbidly obese! When I…
