Nelie, my feet are wide no matter how much my body weighs! :( However, the pudge does go down and I can at least get a smaller number size! :D

When I bought running shoes they were a size smaller and I didn't have to search the store for a pair that was wide enought. Also my old running shoes I wear to walk to school and they are to big and I have to tie them as tight as I can.

My NSV I got dressed today and wore a blue short sleeve top (I was hoping it would be warm. Mistake) and when I looked in the mirror I noticed that I had extra room around the chese (which is normal since my chest is getting smaller) but I also noticed how much room was in the stomach. It looked huge. Then when I was eating breakfast I realized I didn't even have a tank top or a shapewear top under it (normally I wont wear a top that is semi-fitted without something under it.)

Mine is kinda silly, but SO exciting to me :) I ALMOST fit into a size 36 inch waist jeans! My friend gave me a pair, and they are like half an inch from doing up, I cannooooot WAIT! To me this means no more plus sizes, which I can NOT wait for.. :)

BTW I did go out and buy my new shoes, they WERE a size smaller but still wide-width, I'm okay with that, they are very comfortable.

My NSV for today is that I went to a huge poker tournament last night (got 16th out of 175! But payout started at 12th GRRRR!) and I got hit on by TWO different guys! WHA? Not used to that kind of attention!

Congratulations on the poker tournament. I'd die if guys started hitting on me regularly. I can't stand it :) I've been going to this dinner prep place for the last 6 months or so (this month will be the last month), and for some reason there were a lot of guys there the last time I went. DH was supposed to meet me there but he got stuck in traffic so he was late. This one guy started eyeing me and trying to smile at me and such. I kept telling myself "DH is coming, DH is coming" and then he came and the guy stopped looking. :)

My NSV is that jeans that were tight just a few weeks ago are now fitting perfectly. :D They are jeans that I haven't worn in years - it's like finding a whole new wardrobe in your closet. Now, why didn't I keep any shirts????

Thank you for the support. I am pumping myself up for a good weekend & then I am going to start running on my lunch hours next week.

Oh - I can't wait to do yardwork like some of you are talking about. We got snow today so it'll be a couple weeks yet... Oh well!

Today was my monthly measurement day. I have now lost a total of 17.5 inches (total body) since 1-03-07! :dancer: Oh yeah!!!!!!! :exercise:

Walked right past the candy & Easter basket displays at WalMart last night & just got my shampoo, new toothbrush, tp, etc. :cool:

Added 3lb handweights to the 10lb dumbbells I use when I do bicep curls. 13lbs for each arm may not seem like much, but it's exciting to improve from only being able to do 10lbs to doing 13lbs. :)

Yay for all these NSVs!! :)

Kashi, moving from 10-13 on bicep curls is a GREAT accomplishment!

My weight loss is in the little local free newspaper!! :lol: Someone interviewed all the teachers at my school who ran the 10k and I told him how much I'd lost and all that. He put it in the article and put that I'll be doing a half marathon (hey, now I REALLY have to do it!)

Another NSV today: I met my friend for dinner and I ate more than I should, so I was tempted to just go pick up my husband at the gym and go home. Instead, I went ahead and got on the treadmill and did a 5k, and I did it in 34:00, which is fast for me.

And the best NSV I've had lately... I went to a department store tonight and shopped in the regular section. I've been wearing size 16 pants but they're getting a little loose, so I tried on 14s, thinking that I was still between sizes. Nope. They fit perfectly. I haven't bought 14s since college. Yay! :)

Woohoo! I went shopping today.... down a skirt size and a jean size!

Also... I had to eat out 3 times today (A NIGHTMARE)....
And I STAYED TOTALLY ON PLAN! :carrot: :carrot: I kind of want to cry!

Great goin' on all those clothes victories, ladies! :broc:

I measured myself this morning to record myself on my Fitday Bodylog and discovered that I lost an inch on my waist and an inch around my ribs where you measure for a new band width for a new bra. That means I have lost 13 inches in my waist since I began AND I can now go buy size 36 bras! I used to wear 44s not so long ago!! Woo Hoo!
