We meet here to explore, share, celebrate and (sometimes) agonize over how we do (or don't) incorporate weight loss guidelines into our daily lives. "It's a lifestyle, not a diet" is easily and often said, but sometimes not so simply put into practice.
This is a thread for everyone. If you're new to GoaD, or to weight loss, your questions and comments are always welcome. If you're maintaining, or a long-term loser, your thoughts on the topic may be just what someone else needs to hear. If you're reading this, join in the discussion!
Each weekday, a new topic is offered up for discussion. Thread starters for September are below:
Monday -88olds (George)
Tuesday - Imastar2 (Derrick)
Wednesday - gavinflynn1 (Gavin)
Thursday - misterhub (Greg)
Friday - Al_Howard (Al Howard)
Today’s Topic: NSV’s
What are some of your favorite NSV’s? Are there NSV’s that you are still looking forward to you? How important our NSV’s to you?

When I was taken off Diabetes Rx meds. T2D now controllable with diet and exercise.2

My accomplishments on the bike and with hiking are my favorite NSVs. This past weekend I hiked 29 miles split over 2 days and felt pretty good on Monday.
2020 should have some good biking adventures including riding the Katy Trail in Missouri with a dear friend to celebrate his 79th birthday. We will split that over several days. I'm visiting with him and his wife this weekend for shorter hikes/bike rides and we can work on the logistics. I also plan to do at least a 2-night credit card tour on my bike. I did a 1-night tour in October and it was great fun! I really enjoy logistics, both in terms of gear to bring and figuring out routes. Kudos to my parents for all the big road trips we took when I was a kid out to eastern Washington state. I learned to read paper maps which is a skill that has served me very well.2 -

The NSVs are 99%. The scale is just a feedback tool. There’s some satisfaction to having a good BMI number but it’s just the number.1 -
Haven't had an NSV in so long it's a forgotten feeling.1

Latley I can relate to Derrick's post1

I’m “new again” so I don’t have a lot of current NSVs, but I did recently run for 30 minutes in a row, and that’s definitely a NSV for me.
I was just recently put on blood pressure medication, and I’m already looking forward to hopefully being taken off them.1
