What's Your Most Recent NSV

First NSV of the year
Yesterday I had my first NSV of the year. Back in the end of last year, I bought 3 30 day work out plans and yesterday was the first time I finished all 30 days. Usually I'd stop at day 24 and just give up. Or I would skip a day or two and try to do 3 days in one. Exhausting. 30 days doesn't seem like a lot until you have…

I was 141 lbs this morning and have an ultimate goal of 125 lbs, but my end of July goal is 135 lbs.

A great start to my journey
All my life I’ve had an unhealthy relationship with food, it didn’t matter if I was happy, sad or even angry I would always turn to food for comfort!

This had been ongoing, but with no real answer as to why. I knew I was also in…

Accountability
I’m 36, a mother of two under 5. I’ve let myself go a bit too much caring for them; this is the largest I’ve ever been: 91kg, 164cm height.🥹🥹 I would love to know if there’s a way to get a partner in fitness on this platform I can be accountable to? Like a fitness pal checking up on each other 😊.

30 days to self-awareness. Let's see what we learn!
I’ve dieted most of my life. The pattern was always the same—I’d get really thin, then gain the weight back. Last year, after spending a whole year being “skinny” and starving to stay that way, I’d had enough. I decided to stop chasing a number and start building strength. I took up weight training and stopped restricting…
