NSV's

That I feel so confident and in control when I go to the grocery store. I check out that food label and even say ‘nope’ out loud when I see something that looks okay and has high carbs. The ‘healthy food’ section is all sugar lol
That I can wear t-shirts now without wearing one of my tanks under them to make them longer. And don’t worry about anything too blubbery showing when I sit/walk etc.
That my fitness tracker is telling me I’m getting 5+ hours of sleep sleep a night and I feel rested even with 6 hours. Though I usually try to get 8 if the kids will let me
My skin is glowing. To the point where I’ve had to decide whether or not I should even put makeup on. I think it makes my skin not look as good - but I love doing up my eyes
So just go with it.
My shoes are fitting better and I have some Hot Chocolate design heals I’ve barely worn since it wasn’t fun to wear heals. Hoping that will change soon.
Most of my leg aching has gone away. Not sure if diet or all the walking I do. But I’ll take it!2 -
About a month and a half in!! NSV inches gone, dark eye circles clearing up, skin looking clearer, arms toning up. Nothing hanging over pants!!
I love eating Keto!!!
Spots are on an old mirror, not me, lol.

Forgot a huge NSV.... Being able to do the towel wrapping
thing around the body after shower!! LOL
@weatherking2019 That is awesome!!! Yes, it is great when you get a compliment from a female!! It feels more sincere. (Seriously and sincerely not trying to offend men here).
@AbbieOffman Thanks, I've been in total shock taking progress pictures!5 -
Love hearing all the non scale victories.
Mine is, I have been keto long enough now that I never track my food anymore. I always hated doing it, but did because how else are you gonna know what you ate? Now I know what to eat, how much (I still use my digital scale, and most importantly for me, when to eat.6 -
When I hold up my pants, i don't feel like i'm looking at a tent. Size 14 is so much smaller than 20!!9

A bittersweet NSV...today I am wearing one of my favorite dresses and it's baggy on me...I think it's still ok for a while, but eventually it's going to be big enough that I'm not going to want to wear it...but it's one of my favorites!4

Ya, baggie dress is a REAL PROBLEM, we all wish we had. Time to find a new favorite, smaller one or a good tailor to cut it down for you. 2

@AbbieOffman I wanted to mention:
Thanks!!! I feel like keto reversed the clock on my hormones, which is helping skin! (Battled with hormones for 20 years now). I don't think it's as much weightloss showing in face as it is hormones. I could feel significant hormonal changes just one week in.
Day one, I can see testosterone levels were probably way up.

My nsv is being able to wear beautiful summer pants which I couldn’t zip up last summer. It certainly stops me from eating any extra carbs after my meals.7

I've noted before about how nobody noticed I lost weight and I hadn't changed clothing sizes. Took a combined total of 38.5 lbs before somebody noticed. lol But now people all the time tell me I look like I've lost weight. I think for those body changes to be noticeable, on some of us it requires a fair amount of weight to be gone before it's apparent to anyone else.
And I bought a lovely pair of suit pants and a jacket in March that no longer fit. so I am finally changing sizes too. lol Which is so irritating but delightful at the same time? ug. To the Tailor I go!8 -
So we've only been back on the LCHF / keto thing for like, 11 days now I think? Already noticed some differences like I'm sure we lost a bunch of water weight & stuff. Tho we're not weighing, just going by what we see & how clothes fit & stuff.
But yesterday someone else noticed too! Got told, we're looking happier & healthier than we have in like the past year!
So, pretty happy & feeling good about that! 8 -
NSV! I can see my body changing 😁 the scale might not move much and I still wear the same size as I did 20 pounds ago, slightly more comfortable in the clothes but still the same size. I have noticed my skin has improved, much better face rash, like barely any flare ups and my skin is less dry even though it’s colder. My mood swings are almost non existent and my anxiety is 1000 times better. It’s amazing how food can be so life changing! 🥺10
