aka the NSV post inspired by a huge victory on the scale. haha.
First, I just have to do this. So here is a different picture of the fat vs muscle density difference.
So here is the representation of my 50+ pound victory so far.
SO, here are the Top 10 Non-Scale Victories associated with my big scale victory
10. Having officially completed two 5Ks and actually WANTING to run more.
9. Feeling full without finishing a meal. It's amazing how much your stomach shrinks when it doesn't have all those grapefruits up there encouraging it. haha
8. Doing a mile on the elliptical in 7:08. I have essentially cut my mile in HALF[not in real life, unfortunately] on the elliptical from where I started.
7. Being down 4 sizes from where I was. Size 24 pant to size 16. Almost able to shop at ITG stores!
6. Leg pressing more than I weigh and doing more than half my weight on the seated dip. How soon is too soon to strap myself into that thing? lol
5. My boyfriend's jackets being too big on me. I dunno about the rest of you fat girls, but I always wanted to be that girl wearing my boyfriends too-big letter jacket. Goal achieved.
4. Being able to touch my elbows to my knees when doing bicycle crunches. You have no idea how much this always bothered and shamed me before and now I have to be careful not to bruise my legs with my elbows.
3. Talking to women at the gym after classes and seeing their faces when I mention how much I've lost.
2. Being able to do compound abs! Such a huge victory for me!! Oh, and being able to hold a plank for over a minute! Big time, y'all.
1. Going to the doctor and hearing nothing but "You look great!", "Wow!", "I am SO proud of you." and "Keep it up!"
I still have a long way to go but I am one HUGE step closer to being where I want to be! Thanks to EVERYONE for all the love, support and endless encouragement! I also feel the need to "shout out" to Kacee aka Butterbean4283 for keeping me accountable on MFP and achieving her own 50lb weight loss! Yay! Guys, this is possible! I'm not the only one doing it and YOU can do it, too! I honestly have the "If I can do it, anyone can!" attitude about this. You just have to find your motivation.

Grapefruits and Tangerines
So here is the representation of my 50+ pound victory so far.
50 lbs of fat = space of 30 grapefruits
I've lost over 30 grapefruits worth of fat. lol. That's pretty awesome. At my next big mark I'll go fill a basket with grapefruit or something. lol I dunno if Walmart would appreciate that.SO, here are the Top 10 Non-Scale Victories associated with my big scale victory
