Congrats on your NSV and here's to many more to come.

I know the feeling. When I returned to work from my medical leave I put back on my dress shoes and they were all too big. That is a great NSV!!!

Congratulations! I was so excited today, I've worn heels. All day! And haven't been tempted to take them off for more than a minute or two. I haven't worn heels this long since I was carrying my son, four years ago!!!

During one of my after pictures (I took them every 10 pounds) someone I showed the picture too said, oh my gosh, look at your poor feet in that first picture. I hadn't realized how swollen my feet were before except when I would try to run.

Enjoy the process, you have a lot more NSV's to come!

Thanks BLERDgirl this journey is so awesome.

My recent wow moment was realizing that I was sitting with my legs crossed. I hadn't been able to do that for years and I did it without realizing it. Keep up the good work!
