My weight loss so far has been pretty quick, so I haven't focused so much on NSVs, but yesterday one smacked me in the face - I realized I'd been sitting with my legs crossed for probably 15 minutes - something I haven't been able to do in probably 3 years or more!

My 21 year old DD told me at lunchtime that she couldn't believe how much smaller my legs are (thighs in specific).

They were and still are very large. I'll take it.

I avoided a mediocre donut yesterday...

Yeah, I like the little NSVs the best ;)

Had to go to the jewelers today because my rings that I got resized in February are TOO big again, to the point that they could fall off (they were a perfect snug fit when I got them back the last time).

The girl working at the jewelers looked at me and said "OMG Elvis, you are melting away before our eyes!" No one ever said that to me before, esp. someone I hardly know. I told her I was still trying to lose some pounds and she said to keep doing what I was doing as it's really noticeable again since I saw her last.

So happy, she made my day!

I have only lost 6 lbs as of Sunday, but today I noticed my work uniform pants were looser (perhaps reduced tummy bloatage?).

I had my nsv yesterday. Over the weekend, I bought a pair of black bermuda shorts at ny&co in a size 2 tried them on yesterday, and to my surprise they slip right off and on me without being unbuttoned or unzipped. I still remember the day where I could no longer squeeze myself into their biggest size "18" just a lil over a year ago. Crazy how much can change in a year?

After losing just 10 lbs, my weight loss has stalled for the past 2 months even after following the plan.. but without quitting like in the past, I am still counting calories and exercising regularly..that's my NSV!!

And also even though I am not losing weight, I sure feel more active. My stamina also has increased. Earlier I used to walk on the treadmill starting at speed 4, slowly increasing to 6, where I would last for hardly 3-4 mins and start decreasing it back to 4; all in a period of 20 mins..at the end of those 20 mins I used to feel as if I am dying, the leg cramps were also so bad that I needed to rub my calves for a good minute!! Now, I start at speed 4 and go upto speed 6.2 within 2 mins and stay there for the remaining 18 mins...no pain, no grasping, no leg cramps..all these little things are helping me stay positive despite the stupid scale trying to bring me down

I fit into a size 13 from stitches haha havnt seen that since I was 20 so happy today~!

There is a strawberry/cream cheese coffee cake and a dozen doughnuts sitting in the break room. I went in there to get hot water for tea, gave both boxes a quick once-over and walked out, realizing that I honestly didn't want any of either. The old me would have gotten one of each and then went back later on for seconds, just because it was there.

I spent most of Thursday evening, all day Friday and a good portion of Saturday and Sunday on my feet running like crazy. While my back got a little sore, my feet did not. I didn't have to take a break every five minutes, and I ran up and down the two flights of stairs into the hall numerous times. The old me would have been done after a few hours.

Yoga is making me flexible! When I sit on the floor with my legs straight out in front of me, I can grab my toes. I was probably a very small child the last time I could do that! :yoga:

I fit into my next size down goal jeans this morning. I'm wearing them right now :)

Guess I'm going shopping this week-end for the new goal jeans.

I ordered a size 12 dress from ny&c and a size L belt, because I had no belts that fit. The dress was a perfect fit (which was so amazing, considering all of the stress I used to go through trying to find nice clothes in size 18). The belt fits, but it is one hole away from being as tight as possible, so I will need to purchase a M soon!

I went to my very first spin class today! My face got beet red, I sweated buckets, my legs felt like overcooked noodles afterwards and I was probably the slowest person on the bike, but I finished the 45 minute class with everyone else! Doing something new workout-wise has always intimidated me, but I've finally decided that in order to make a change, I'm going to have to step out of my comfort zone.

Having my dr lower my blood pressure meds and finishing week 2 of my learn to run program.
