My first Non-Scale Victory!
 
This morning as I was getting ready for work I was in a hurry to find something clean to wear and the only shirt I could find was this really uncomfortable button-up that I loved, despite the fact that it practically cuts off circulation to my arms, it's so tight in the sleeves. I hardly ever wear it because of this reason, but when I put it on it was comfortable as anything else I owned! I could completely bend my elbows! :carrot: I can't believe it!

Must mean it's time to go shopping!

Nice to be able to make friends again with a favorite garment! Good job!

HOORAY for you! Just keep working, and soon that shirt will be to big.

YAY! isn't that a great feeling!? The skinny clothes in your closet can sometimes be the biggest motivator! :) Congratulations!

Congrats! You're doing so well, it's such an inspiration to hear about this and see your photos!

That rocks! MUCH better feeling than finding your clothes don't fit that use to --- remember that exact moment of excitement next time your up against a healthy roadblock.

Thanks everyone! I have a bit more of a NSV, but don't want to start a new thread - I did 10 pushups in a row tonight... a month ago I struggled to do 3 in a row, and i can tackle 10 now!!!

My body feels different... I crouched down to get something before getting into the shower, and noticed that i can bend my legs more than I used to be able to, due to less junk in the trunk! I'm not jiggling as much.

Oh, and instead of turning to food tonight, I shaved my legs, gave myself a pedi, and plucked my eyebrows, so now I feel much better than I EVER would by eating!

Wooo hooo good for you ashlie! That is neat about both the blouse AND the pushups!!

Don't you love it when something that was too tight suddenly slides on with ease? Those are the moments when you know it's all worthwhile. Congratulations!
