This is actually a February one - but I'm a little late in reporting. On Friday, I had to go to the immigration office to get my immigration id so that I'm legal - lol. When I sat down for the photo I could see the video image of myself on her computer screen - only at first I didn't have a clue who it was, until I realized the woman on the screen was wearing the same shirt as me. I look like a totally different person from the one on my driver's license (taken in September).

I got through the month of February without eating badly - and with no donuts!

I guess this is kind of a NSV. I was at a meeting on Sunday - when I stood up my half slip fell to the ground. :) I've been wearing the same slip since losing all this weight. I guess it's time for a new slip. :carrot::carrot:

BTW - Because I was sitting at a table - I was able to pull it back up discreetly and noone knew but, me. :;)

I love these NSV threads too!

yesterday I had a fitness accessment at the gym. It's been a year since the last one. I have lost 14kg/30 pounds, 6.5 inches off my waist and hips and gone from "below average" fitness level to "good" (using some oxygen/Heart Rate/Treadmill testing). I am totally CHUFFED!

Slow and steady but I keep reminding myself it's a marathon not a sprint.

I had a great NSV today and I wanted to share.

One of my coworkers (who I've always considered to be tiny) and I wore almost the exact same outfit to work. Another coworker thought it was so funny and took a picture. When he forwarded us a copy of the picture I couldn't believe it. I was almost the same size as the coworker that I've always thought was so tiny. I was thrilled!!! I normally hate pictures, but I love this one.

I'm thrilled that I didn't let my "non-loss" yesterday throw me off the track! Actually - it made me re-look at what I'm eating more carefully to be sure I'm not eating too much.

This past weekend I went to a birthday party and everyone was asking me if I was dieting. It made me feel good because they said they could tell my face was slimming up. Another NSV, today I put on a pair of pants that I havent tried on in a couple of weeks and I have to keep pulling them up!! Time to invest in a belt! :-):carrot:

:lol::lol::lol:

I love stories like this! WTG!

I thought I would post up here because recently I got a reaction from my brother that was unexpected.

a little back ground, I recently moved back home all the way across the country from CA back to New England about a year ago, and my brother who lives in CA has not seen me since then. now since I came home I have lost a little weight here and there and recently (Jan) started in on a mission to lose all my excess weight, since Jan 22nd I lost 31 lbs and had been eating this same way for about a month before that so I guesstamate that I have lost in the range of 55lbsish since Christmas. anyways to the reaction, innocently enough and not thinking about it I sent him a picture of me and my daughter on my cell phone camera (he didn't know I was losing weight) and the response I got back was "Holy *expletive* thats crazy" I responded with "Huh what do you mean? its just us" and he called me right back and said that my face looked extremely different from the last time I saw him, needless to say I was Grinning ear to ear :D when I told him that I was in fact losing weight. I just thought I wold post that up as it was fitting to the thread title

As Ever

I was going to post today that my undies are getting baggie...now I know not to wear a dress/skirt with my baggie undies. That might be embarrassing...:o

I love to read all your stories. They not only give me a chuckle sometimes. They encourage me and inspire me.

I went to the gym today - I've been struggling with my energy & motivation lately - thanks to the pregnancy. But I had a nice workout today.

Eating at someone else's home is always challenging. Last night's dinner would not make it into the Healthy Eating Hall of Fame - thats for sure! And at first I was really upset. But then I re-thought it - and saw an opportunity to deal with real life - and make the best of the situtation.

So I had a small portion - and tried to pick through and take some extra veggies.

And today I feel so good that I made better choices :)

Yesterday I went shopping for some new clothes for spring. I don't *need* them quite yet so I wanted to get everything in a size or two smaller so they will fit in a couple months. So I looked through the spring pajamas and picked out an 18/20 bottom that looked pretty small (I wear 22 jeans and they're snug). I wanted to get a 16 top to work into. But all they had were 14's. I was bummed but got one anyway. When I got home, the tops and bottoms both FIT ME, and not too tight. I could wear them now. Yeah they are stretchy type fabric but I am not straining the seams or anything. Wow, I can't get my mind around it!

Lifeguard - your baby ticker is cracking me up! that is SO cute!! (and congratulations!!)

ok, here's mine. On sunday I went off to go grocery shopping. I was off from work and in my pair of (newer) size 10 jeans and just whatever, probably a hoodie. I got back from the store, and i only had two bags, so i grabbed them both (heavy! couple gallons of milk in there) my hands were full when I got to the back door - and i was locked out! Neither my boyfriend or myself has a key to the back door, and from where I park the front of the house is kind of inaccessable. I was going to have to walk around the house and the yard to get to the front with the heavy bags, so i tried to call into the house to see if my bf was around to just open up the back. so my hands are full, i'm fishing around in my purse for my cell phone, and my pants fell down. like just.. whoops! around my ankles. so full hands, cellphone attached to my head, standing at my back door and my pants are around my ankles.
right about now i'm pretty glad my yard is mostly secluded and no one drove by lol.
