Easily doing yoga postures I haven't been able to do correctly for a long time because of the extra weight. Priceless.8

I had the nerve to ask out a guy I've been crushing on for nearly 13 years today. He said a very enthusiastic yes. Loving the confidence this new figure of mine is bringing me! WOOT!18

A while back there was a thread about insulin resistance causing skin tags, and going LCHF could prevent and sometimes shrink them. I read this with a grain of salt. As I am not diabetic, but I have had to have skin tags removed, I did keep this in the back of my mind.
So this AM while showering, I remembered I had a large skin tag about 1/4 in long in a place the general public can not see. I had a hard time locating it and I know where it is, I've had it for YEARS. There is barely a slight rise where that monster used to be.
So my NSV for today, is having a major skin tag reduced to almost nothing, and I am not done yet with this WOE.18 -
Jonesing for some really off-plan food and I was about to go out and eat it, but I refrained. I'm not hungry, so why would I eat? And why especially would I eat something so carby???? Feeling a mixture of powerful and internally torn asunder right now because I still really want it but I won't allow myself...Not worth it.12

I have utilized my pool more so far this summer than since I moved into the house 6 years ago. I am comfortable in my swim shorts and tankini tops around family and friends.17

I can tie my apron in the front

I was doing some deep closet spelunking the other day and found an old hoodie that to my eyes, looked just tiny.
The size was only XL, and I thought no way it'd fit but I figured I'd try it on to get a feel for how long before I might be able to actually wear it.
It fit! Comfortably.
As an aside, I think I've given up on trying to comprehend sizing. This XL fits, that 3XL is tight, the other 3XL is baggy, these 2XL are loose, those 3XL are comfortable... no rhyme or reason to it.11 -
New NSV. Its been awhile since i first lost weight and the NSV's were flowing effortlessly. A year of struggling with maintenance and 25% regain really dampened my spirits and...no NSV's.
Now, I'm going for broke, back on Keto due to this idea of reconnecting to my late father via an old rivalry he and I had when I was a teenager. We would race to lose 10 pounds.
Once I won a trip to NYC, once a pair of way cool, lace-up, brown suede, high heeled hippie boots (wowza!) and once a really cool hat I loved and still have.
He died three years ago and part of me wasn't ready, due to grief, to have him in my mind very much until recently when I decided to do this with him. I love it, I'm going to win again, and trust he will provide my reward via the time space continuum. I know just what i want.
I've missed him, and have taken some big time, painful life hits this year. Having him back in this familiar way is like a balm for my spirit.
Totally my Fave NSV of all! Even better than the actual weight loss. I know he is luving it, too.

I know, right...? Some time ago, I managed to get into size 10 (UK) jeans, and a size 12 were too tight. But from a different store. I wish retail would get its act together....
I have been wearing the same bracelet on my right wrist for over 10 years (a gift from my hubby). It fell off over my hand this morning, in the shower... And my watch keeps spinning round, so that the face is on my inner wrist, palm side, instead of on the back of my hand....The store can't make reduce the clasp any further.....

I don't think this is a "victory" - As I was spending a lot of time sitting in the car today, I realized how painful my tailbone gets when I don't have a lot of padding under it.8

I have noticed this for myself too. I have not put the tape measure to my waist since 5/1, and I checked tonight. I am down 5.25 in. I knew I was dropping sizes in my jeans/khakis, but it is nice to see it on the tape measure.8 -
My NSV is my wedding ring and engagement rings finally fit. Haven't been able to wear them for over a year. And my skin is so much brighter I wear way less makeup. Someone I recently met thought I was in my mid 20's and I'm 38. Woo hoo!!14

Awesome!
And when it becomes too big, may I suggest clear UV gel nail polish as a sizing agent. Lol
