This morning, I grabbed a shirt that I wore just a few days ago. It is suddenly loose on me! I haven't lost weight, but I think my exercises are kicking in.

My loose shirt inspired me to walk/hike for an hour. Three months ago, it was hard for me to walk for 10 minutes.

Making healthier food choices today at the grocery store! When I eat better, I feel better ;)

I made gumbo for dinner tonight. It's a recipe I've never tried before and it came out great! Best of all, one serving is 8 WW points or right around 280 calories. OM NOM NOM.

Using less WW points yesterday than the day before! It was about smarter choices and better planning at the store and feels great! I feel much better when I eat healthier.

:D

Today I ran my first 5K!

I read about Couch25K here over the summer, and decided to do it. I set this race, 7 weeks after I finished, as my goal. And today I did it! And in just under 30 minutes, which was another goal. :-)

GREAT JOB HUNGRY!!! That's an awesome accomplishment!

Thank you!!

Ring ON Hungry!
keep up the good work!!!

For the first time in my life I just fit into a SINGLE digit! Sure, sure, I probably fit into a single digit at some point, maybe middle school, not sure. Definitely not in high school! So for the first time since I hit puberty for sure!

Tried on several dresses, jeans, and skirts in women's size 8 and juniors size 9 at two different stores, several different brands (needed to make sure it wasn't a fluke). Some were a little on the too snug side, but they all fit (meaning buttoned, zipped, and minimal muffin) with the exception of one size 9 that I didn't realize until I was pulling them up was labeled "straight hip" which I'm certainly not!

SO YAY!!!!

Yay, thigh gap, Disappearing acts! WTG Hungry! Congrats, Lockit! I'm right there with you!! WOOT!!

I went on a trip recently and saw some friends who I haven't seen for a year. They all noticed and complimented my loss since the last time we were together, which only amounted to around 20 pounds but I guess exercise really helped with the slim look! It was just an amazing feeling, even though these friends really don't give a hoot about looks. There's nothing that feels as good as seeing people go "wow!" when they see you for the first time.

Another great thing about this trip is I allowed a few full-body, bathing suit beach shots, and I don't think I look half bad. They are certainly not photos I'll be showing off on facebook, but to see myself head to toe in a suit, in a photo (which adds 10 pounds, right?) and not see a heifer is a pretty big deal.

A couple of times recently, I noticed that I was not hungry. This represents a big improvement in self-awareness.

Congrats to all! I've had similar moments (running farther than I thought I could, fitting into a size 8, not hating to have my picture taken, recognizing the absence of hunger) and they all feel great. Good job, everyone!

Okay so this NSV may be TMI but when I'm standing up naked and I look down, I can see my pubic hairs again!! It's been years since I've been able to see them without having to twist and contort my stomach to get it out of the way. This will help with shaving. :)

My pinky ring fits again! I haven't been able to wear it for years!
