Thanks, Chickadeee. I get discouraged sometimes because I still have so much weight left to lose, but I can't deny the huge change that is evident in these photos. It's a blessing to have proof of my progress and quite encouraging to keep on keeping on! Good luck fending off the Christmas snacks!

Just measured my alleged waist and I am now under 40" for the first time in over ten years!

I have muscle bumps on my upper front legs. Idk the correct anatomical term lol. They're from running :) I also have minor shin splints from climbing a lot of stairs today :s weird but 100% fact. I am becoming more confident that the number on the scale can at times be barely half the picture.

Yeah!!! for muscle bumps! I'm looking for bumps on the top of my arm instead of the bottom!

^Hahaha, yay muscle bumps!!!! :D and lol I am cheering you on and hoping that your arm muscle bumps realign in the correct direction :D

Frenchgirl - gorgeous pic! You are a beautiful woman!

I really enjoyed looking through this thread ladies! Thanks!

I just love reading through this thread. Ruthxxx - amazing victories!!!
Yesterday I went for a jog for the first time in a few weeks (bad weather + laziness), and my neighbor commented that I was looking good. It was slightly creepy, to be honest, but I just said thanks and ran right on past him! =P

Hi everyone. I am enjoying reading your NSVs. Congrats to all of you
