In a moment of weakness (& finding a twoonie I didn't know I had on me!) I went out to the junk truck (literally a truck full of junk no one should eat that pulls into our parking lot 3 times a day blowing his horn). I went out looking for a pop & pulled myself back. I got a nice refreshing, no cal white iced tea. Much better choice!

Way to go!!! Those trucks can be devastating to your resolve, good for you for making a wise choice!

Where I live they call those trucks roach coaches. Maybe that will help you next time you hear the horn blowing!

My Dad always called it the garbage truck & some of the guys here call the gut truck. I kind of like roach coach though.

the one that pulled up where I used to work actually had a norn that played "La Cucaracha!" Owner definitely had a sense of humor.

I just measured myself and since January I've lost a total of 58.5 INCHES!!!! My waist and hips are 10 INCHES smaller and my thighs are 6 INCHES smaller!!!!

Very funny!!!

I've recently upped the amount of protein I'm eating & my fingernails are looking better than ever. They're all long & white & strong!

My NSV today is I did 40 minutes on my elliptical, when I first started posting in May I could only do 2-3 minutes on the elliptical, and then I would be dead. Today I did 40 minutes!!! I sweated, I got tired, but it felt great, and I did more than half of my time with resistance .
I feel good. cheryl

Tricia - WOW!! 58 inches!! (I am close to that too BTW!)

Mt NSV was from last night. We met some folks from our ATV site that are headed to Utah. (we had to back out from the ride unfortunately) But we took some pics last night, and this is the first time in my life I am in a group picture that I am not taking up all the room!! I am actually looking like a "normal" size person!! (I am the one in the white shirt)

Me & part of the gang

WOW, what a difference in you, Mrs. Quadcrew! You are looking really good!! Congratulations!

Thank you! I got a LOT of compliments last night too. Most of the folks we met haven't seen me in months, so I have changed a lot. I am just so happy to FEEL better physically.

Congrats to ALL y'all with NSV's!!!!

No kidding! This is the best motivation of all!

Looks like everyone has been having some great NSVs!
I've got some that have gathered since April:

- I can see my shoulders are thinking about getting some definition (there are dents!)
-My back fat is disppearing I wear my bras on the smallest hooks
- A coworker told me that from behind he can really tell I've lost weight (WHY is he checking out my bum?! LOL We talk a lot and I know he's not a perv)
- When we restarted the Biggest Loser at work again, the nurse measured me and I've lost 2.5 inches on my stomach!
- I can tell my arms have gotten smaller from my work shirts, maybe an inch is gone. We changed suppliers and the new shirts run small. My arms aren't bound by the material anymore, they can move rather well. (the (&@^#*% HR guy told me that "Maybe you need a bigger size" back when he gave me my new shirts. Whatever jerkface. Soon I'll need a smaller size!)
- I've started feeling my thigh bones on the inside of my thighs
- I can feel real muscle in my thighs
