NSV from 480 to 390 and still going :-)

[LadyK 164]

I am elated and in awe that I am at 390, while I was heavier it seemed impossible to get below 400, but I am grateful I'm below 400. My next goal is below 300, then 200, then I want to stop somewhere between 150 and 169lbs. Any hoo, on to the NSV:

1. My Christmas present was new clothes because all of my 7x, 6x, 5x shirts and 42 and 44 pants are way too big, I can now fit a 22/24 sweater comfortably and 26 jeans, before I couldn't get one leg into the avenue's largest pair of jeans a 30/32

2. I actually ran up the flight of stairs into my apartment and didn't feel like my heart was going to explode LOL

3. I jogged through the parking lot with my daughters, (because of the cold) to the store entrance and one of my daughters said, "Mommy you can run now? Wow!! Before I would slowly lumber through the parking lot and feel like passing out, and one day my daughter 5 at the time told my husband, I don't want to walk with mommy, she walks too slow, I wanted to cry. Now I can keep up and most times I'm a few feet ahead and waiting on everyone else.

4. All of the heels in my closet are now too big! I wanted to start wearing them but now they flop off my feet when I walk in them.

5. My next goal also is the notorious booth :ph34r: It's been a long time and I want to see if I can fit without turning sideways.

6. Turnstiles are no longer scary.

7. I can do a few laps at the mall without having to find a bench to sit on or a motorized cart, same for the grocery store.

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the encouragement! I feel so awesome now, my only regret is that I didn't do this sooner.
