NSVs - Non Scale Victories

[auntynet]

Today I went into town wearing the size 18 trousers I had to buy for xmas (cos my 16's were all too tight) and only wore twice cos they "shrunk in the wash".

Had to take them off as soon as I got home cos they were literally dropping down showing all my hips . . . . . not a pretty site really even though they are now size 16 hips. lol

A lady at work today told me I looked fabulous

I also looked in the mirror at my aerobics class today and didn't feel ginormous - success! I'm nowhere near target, but I can definitely see the change in myself already.

If you think about it, you're almost halfway there Hope the wonderful feeling continues! If you don't feel so great one day, get yourself down to the aerobics class again - those mirrors are magic xxx

I really love this thread. I've got 2 today. One is a guy at the gym keeps calling me skinny! Two is I'm going to pick up my daughter from preschool in shorts! This is a massive thing to me because a year ago I was wearing tents and my legs were only on display in baths/ showers

That's cause you are skinny! You've come such a long way in such a short space of time, just think back to how rotten you felt this time last year and how glad you are you took charge

Ooooh, shorts whistle for a hottie xxx

Have a pair of jeans on today that before i started SW i couldn't get into as they were too tight!

Thank you well I did it and no one ran away screaming and shielding their eyes! Must admit it was weird feeling the wind on my legs lol

I tried on a beautiful size 16 suit at lunchtime in Next, as I am desperate for new work clothes (all the ones I have are black, size 18 and 20 and are hanging off me).

It fitted. I felt fantastic.

Shame I couldn't afford it! LOL! xxxxxxx

And i've just discovered i can actually get them off without undoing the button!! Thats mad as i've only lost 11lbs!! (super happy bunny!)

Great NSVs as always folks :happy096:

Well after my successful 1st attempt at jogging on Saturday -I dragged hubby out yesterday morning :bliss: -this time rather than drive to the lake I suggested we go to the route we sometimes walk that is right on our doorstep -so in full on sports bra, leggings and lycra ridden tee shirt I merrily strode through our streets :giggle: -Im sure there may have been folks opening their curtains who saw me and were tempted to close them again -but I didn't care :bliss:. The jog ended up being cross country -up the sides of fields, allotments and through woodland trails -It was brilliant
oooh and this afternoon I put on my shred DVD again -I haven't done it for a week or so as I have been chopping n changing to keep my body guessing -anyway I put it on and I whizzed through it :bliss: -Im still on level 1 mind -but it was great..

oooh ooh and lastly (I promise) yesterday I got out the wii fit game for the first time in yonks -so much so that Im 1st 12lb lighter than last time I used it -and my balance has gone from 65% -to 100% and I did the jog thingy and got 100% on that too ...my wii fit age came out at 21 (Im 39) now I know its not accurate -but its an improvement arty0011:
So all in all so far this week is a very one..

Hope everyone is having a good week....

Well done Capricorn, that's a really great lot of body magic
As Kingleds said, your putting us all to shame :jelous: but good things come to those that wait and it's obviously your turn for the good stuff
Would love a wii fit. Maybe that'l have to go onto the (dare I say it?) christmas (sorry, but I did whisper it) wish list

Thanks folks

Don't worry Twinkle -Im already thinking about xmas too its my 40th in December and I plan on being at target by then (or as near as damn it) :cross:. I think I have hit a point in my journey now where I KNOW Im going to make it arty0011: -will be the first time EVER :gimi:. Im not sure what has happened but I seem to have found a "zone" where I realised that I may as well give it some welly -hence the extra exercise
Keep at it everyone -we are getting there

I'm really happy for you, and anyone else that gets into the "zone" where it all seems so clear. Gosh, I'll never see 40 again :giggle: By the time your my age I bet you'l be running marathons too

Movie night with my girls last night & i wasn't even tempted by the pringles and aero bubbles! I sat there quite happily munching on my chicken salad - didn't feel deprived or hacked off about it either......something has changed in my head thats making this 'diet' a part of my life, not just something i'm doing to lose weight!
I've never had a healthy relationship with food, when i was a teenager i was practically anorexic & lived on an apple a day and exercised constantly. Then i started gaining weight and that led to a binge cycle and eventually i became bulimic. When i fell pregnant with my first baby 10 years ago (OMG!! lol) the purging stopped but i still had a tendancy to be all or nothing around food. I started councelling a month ago - just after starting SW and decided i needed to attempt to find a healthy middle ground with food - i think i may have found it!! *does happy dance*

Was just cleaning my teeth and getting washed and noticed in the mirror I've only got one chin now
Even when I was trying to make it s double chin there was only a small one!
