Non Scale Victories

I'm actually asking people to take pics of me, instead of running from the camera. My excuse is I need to update my dating profile pics. That's true, but I also like the validation that I look as good as I feel. (yes, I'm vain! )

@sillykitty So, that's what 25 pounds to goal looks like - Yowza!

I might lower my goal weight ... I have more than 25 lbs of fat I want to lose under those clothes!

Still trying to get used to wanting to have my picture taken myself. Also, being vain.

I have been trying to get back in to running lately and I realized today that my thighs don't rub together anymore when I run. Crazy, right? I've always had meaty thighs, even at my lower weight which I'm at now, so I guess that (hopefully) means I'm more fit now than I was as my younger self when I never exercised!

I'm almost 3 months out, and I've had a few NSV the past few weeks.

I took a 40-minute run and didn't want to die. I actually felt like I could have kept going.

I learned how to swim after 19 years because I finally felt confident enough to go to the pool.

My (very thin) best friend asked if I wanted to have some of her clothes because she's moving and needs to cut down on her closet. Everything I tried on fit me!

I had to buy size medium shorts! (I was wearing 3x at the beginning of this journey).

I'm very happy!

I got to put my wedding ring back on--it fit! My husband put that on my finger when I was 19 years old and we had a whole life in front of us. We will have our 25th next year in June!

That's so sweet! Congrats! And congrats on being fit and healthy for your 25th!

I can now wear rings on my thumbs if I want, my fingers have de-puffed. So why complain? The rest of my body is lagging behind! Having fingers now like twigs is very nice, but I still have a rump wide enough to show drive-in movies. I kinda envy the girls with noassatall disease, nobody come,up and pinches them.
