New to the group
My name is Summer and I just found this group. I am planning on doing my second half marathon on October 9th. I am building myself back up to running after life took me on an emotional roller coaster.

NSV!!!
So...for the first time in months (since my soon to be ex husband left) I attempted to put on my favorite size 16 jeans. I had gained so much weight in the last year that the stupid things wouldn't even button or zip. Yesterday, not only did they both button and zip, but they looked amazing on me!!! So excited and happy to…

Back after divorce and abusive marriage
Hey guys....ready to pound this. This time last year I was preparing to run my first half marathon and had gone from 260 to about 189. Over the last six months to a year, I have buried my father, buried my grandmother, forced an emotionally/verbally abusive spouse out of my home, filed for divorce, and in the process…

NSV!!
I had a major NSV over the weekend. For three years, I have been trying to get into shape to run a half marathon. The first year I was unable to run because my stepfather and my grandfather both got deathly ill and we ended up losing my grandfather. Finally, on Saturday, I competed in the See Jane Run and finished in…

NSV
I had an unexpected NSV this morning. For many years my eyesight has deteriorated and my lenses had to have something done to them called prisming that made the prescription very expensive and I was warned that I had the potential to lose my sight. Since making the healthy choices I have made and starting the Body By Vi…

Question on calorie goal and running.
I work at home as a typist but have added running 5 to 6 days a week 3 to 4 miles a day. Right now I am set for a sedentary lifestyle on my calories here. Should I up that to account for the running? I find that I am hungry all the time now.

Huge NSV
I completed my first 5K on New Year's Eve in 43:24.9 and 19th out of 29 in my age group and 300th out of 393. Not bad at all for my first race. I have already signed up for a half marathon in September and have at least two other races that I want to do for the year. Who know that I could love running this much!!!

NSV!!
I have never really been into running unless it is an emergency with one of my kids, but I am finding that I LOVE running!! That is a big deal for me because I have really been nonactive most of my life except for in my childhood before I was molested by a family member. I now find that running is like a drug that clears…

NSV
So, totally walked into JITT (Junk In The Trunk), which is a plus size resale store in my area, expecting to get clothes that would be a goal to get into. Walked out with two tops, a skirt, and two pairs of pants in a size 14. Got home and tried them on to see how far I had to go and much to my shock and amazement they…

I realized something on the way home from walking the kids to school this morning that for some reason I have never noticed before. My shadow has shrunk considerably. All these little NSV's are helping to push me forward. In a great mood now. Have a fantastic day everyone!

NSV
I had a few NSV's in the few weeks. The first was major for me. I looked in the mirror while dressing (in my undies) and realized I wasn't disgusted by my reflection, that I actually liked what I saw! The next was that after 16 years of battling my weight, I finally put on a size 16!!! Going from a size 24 and edging into…
