What's Your Most Recent NSV
My most recent NSV is taking a selfie with my daughter and seeing dimples again! I have hated how I've looked for so long and I actually don't hate this picture and my dimples are back. Can't remember the last time I saw those, I know it was when a Bush was in office! Even the fact that I was willing to take a selfie is an…

Hi folks! I haven’t posted on here in a very long time, but thought I would do so to mark a big milestone and maybe inspire someone. This week I hit 200lbs lost since March 2022 (my latest attempt over nearly 2 decades of yo-yoing and eventually giving up). Long story short, after losing two jobs due to weight-related…

Lady Magenta *Update* I am no longer lonely here, now I feel I belong
I have lost 30 lbs in 75 days. The scale showed 318 lbs today in the morning. I started at 348 in September. :) I don't even know if weight loss is the most important achievement right now. So much has changed. It seems it finally 'clicked', and I am in command of the food I eat. Perhaps I finally understood that food is…

Let it GO! Decluttering (simplifying) your life of (people, places or things) success stories?
Decluttering and throwing away or giving away the multitudes of "stuff" I have or have had for years (without using) is really helping me so much in this weight loss mind-set. What I'm doing is, ANYTHING I have, that I haven't used in 2 years or more...OUT IT GOES. Now this isn't as easy as it sounds, but as I'm downsizing…

Who holds the record for most consecutive days logging into

Staff note:* 1 year = 365 days * 2 years = 730 days * 3 years = 1095 days *…

Im Baaaaaak
I was doing so well. I had maintained my 138 for over 3 years. 2 Months ago I got a torn rotator cuff injury and have had to take steroids which has put me back to 154, which in turn upset my BP. So, I am showing my Dr, that I can do this. I have ordered a new Fitbit and getting MFP all set up again, so wish me luck. I can…

My favourite NSVs
Fat loss. I can sit and bend forward to fasten my trainers AND I can do it with my knees together. My tummy no longer gets in my way. Discipline. I can resist snacks thanks to time-restricted eating (16:8). Stamina. My newly-attained daily Walking for England habit (initially a slow hour, now 4-5 quick miles) has changed…

From Back Pain to Breakthroughs: My Journey with Pilates and Personal Growth
My story with Pilates is not so unfamiliar. First of all, I’m a middle-aged man, who’s worked as a developer and product manager for over 15 years. I also play the piano—so you can imagine how much time I spend hunched over a computer or a piano, day in and day out. And, like many others, I had my reservations about…
