Hey ladies,
Thought I would start a new place to share our non scale victories! My victory of the day; I am pretty stoked as I seem to have had a real jump in my fitness levels... it turns out I can skip for aaaaaages now without getting puffed at all.... Next goal - replace 'normal' skipping with all double unders and still not get puffed.... hmmmm! |

He he, i am the same as you Jazzy can't wait to fit my new old clothes. I have one pair of knee length jean shorts that are my fave and it's like my goal to get back into them.
My usual jog/run is getting easier and i feel stronger. Weight seems to stay the same but i know i am fitter and a little smaller as my jeans are a little looser round the butt. Just wish my tummy would pi** off
*sigh* if only i could keep the boobs and loose the butt hehe ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">  http://petitesabine.blogspot.com - petite sabine

Luna - i think with the weight i have lost the only part staying the same size is my boobs so tops still dont fit properly  -------------

Ooh I knew there was a thread about non-scale victories.
So I've got a couple of small ones: * When doing crunches I can lift my head and shoulders marginally higher * When I bend over to pick something off the floor my jeans no longer dig in and restrict my movement Looking forward to more!!! ------------- DS 8 DD 6 DS 4 DD 2 |

I did 11.5 on my beep test 2 weeks ago - a huge jump from 6 on my last beep test, 40 push ups and 40 full sit ups, up from about 20 each. Got another lot of testing on the 16th so will be interesting to see results from there (this will be after running first half marathon)
oooh and my sz 14 skinny jeans keep requireing hitching up!
