My NSV is feeling my clothes get looser. As a result I can wear more stuff, because I have more confidence. Another (albeit smaller) victory: someone I hadn’t seen in a few weeks said I lost weight
. I actually do not have access to a scale right now, so I’m grateful for the NSV question!
Great work and great nsv's!! Feeling comfortable makes life so much more pleasant! Xo3 -
NSV, wearing jeans and feeling like I look alright in them.
✅ exercise - took a TRX class for the first time and I loved it!!! It was very challenging but I feel like it will really help me build strength everywhere, including around my joints which would help stabilise them. I don’t know why I didn’t try it sooner 🤷🏻♀️
✅ calories
✅ tracked
Isn't it awesome wen u find a workout u actually enjoy!! Makes the time go so quick! Really happy to hear that u enjoyed it! Xo4 -

@Mrs_Hoffer - Your post made me laugh as I recently started doing the same thing. Somehow, after practicing maintenance and still gradually dropping slowly, I no longer feel that I need that sort of accuracy. I was going to put it as one of my NSVs but you beat me to it 😂
My NSV this month? I recently swapped my wardrobe from summer to winter clothes and found that many of my clothes are slightly looser. A number were so loose that I have added them to my donate box.
I was going to declutter my summer clothes, but decided that doing the winter ones made more sense as the charity shop can put them on the rails now, rather than having to store them until next spring.
Great minds think alike right! Lol! 2 fab nsv's yayyy to u!!! Xo2 -

Exercise – yes, a 40 minute bike ride this morning and some Utube cardio sessions.
Tracked – yes
Calories – yes
I’m not very good at NSVs but I enjoyed @Mrs_Hoffer s story. I was disappointed with my weight this morning (trying to lose a kg before going on holiday) and I was tempted to strip off to see those grammes go!
Ha ha if u do strip off let us know if it makes a difference lol! U are a bit of an expert with this whole weight loss and maintaince business so no doubt u will get where u need to be weight wise eventually I am sure of it. Xoxox4 -

✅✅✅ posting early, but expect this outcome based on the day so far. Will come back to post any change to this.
Oh how I laughed at your NSV @Mrs_Hoffer (and echoed by @ashleycarole86 @biketheworld @enlightenme3 @TerriRichardson112 ) because this is me! Last month I had to head straight to my weigh-in at the doctor’s in the clothes that I was wearing (imagine! 😜). I had a summer “weigh-in” outfit that I would normally change into but there were three car accidents and construction en route to do so — so it was straight to my doctor’s office. I had already called to report my delayed. I will report my NSV when this is no longer an issue for me. 🙃
My NSV is similar to what I reported last month this time —clothes that are too big now. But did I take heed last month? 🙈 Instead I kept wearing them. 🤦🏼♀️ Then struggled with my toasty warm elasticized waist pants falling down MULTIPLE times on my walk with Beau a few days ago. I was cursing myself during the walk for thinking I could keep wearing them. The only thing that saved my dignity was the mid shin length down-filled coat that I was wearing. Oh the feeling of a down jacket on your bare bum (as they took the too loose underpants down with them). Needless to say, I have NOW cleared my underwear and pants drawers of such dangerous items.
Victory! ✌️
Ha ha love this so much! Congrats u must feel so good! Xox3 -
Exercise -ran/ walked 20 minutes
Under calorie budget (1650)? Yes 1555
Tracked everything I ate and drank? Yes
Counting calories stopped me from eating another 200-400 of unnecessary food.
Counting calories to a tee is a nsv in itself!!! Hving the data allows us to make better decisions. Xo3 -

My exercise was walking and shopping in Lake Placid with my daughter today here’s a pic from our lunch table and one of the mountains on the way home.
Awww smaller jeans that's a win!!! Beautiful pics!! I hve only seen a tiny bit of snow once in my life wen I went to Europe. Just lovely. Xo1 -

*Weights and walk carrying bub.
* Yes under
* Yes tracked every BLT
* 2 pass days used 4th and 12th Nov
My nsv is waking up at 5.30 am for the last 2 days to smash out my workout. I am trying to get in the habit of doing this to prep me for when I go back to work early next year. My other nsv is going back to basics and being super diligent around tracking all my food this includes all the grazing stuff like the bite of bannana bub didn't want or the taste test of dinners etc. Xo

My NSV, I live in a 3rd floor, so when I go grocery shopping, I have to carry up the bags and go back down to grab more like 2 or 3 times. I used to have to take a little break before I could go down and grab more groceries to carry up because I would get winded (it's a bit embarrassing but that's how out of shape I was). But now I can go up and down and back up the times I need without having to take a break. It feels great.

❤️❤️❤️
One full week of exact tracking, significantly lower cals & sat fat, significantly more walk/hiking…and I lost this week!
My NSVs
I got back on track. Phew!
Walking significantly more each day!
Did some research & I have whacked my sat fat down 10 -
Track: yes
Calories: yes
Exercise: yes- Upper Body Dumbbells
I am still struggling to do any exercise because of the ongoing joint pain. I was going to blow it off today but I made myself do some upper body dumbbells for about 25 minutes. I suppose that is an NSV.10 -
Well as of this evening, I am no longer in the running for being in the Winner's circle. Had myself a little binge, didn't feel like tracking the calories, and am most likely over. OH WELL. 🤷♀️
BUT I did get in a most wonderful 4 mile run this morning. Wonderful because it was SO windy and warm. That wind was crazy windy, and made it a lot of fun! I guess especially because it was such a nice change from the rain we've had lately. My Garmin showed wind gusts at 31 mph! And temp was 61 degrees (this was at 9:30 a.m.) unseasonably warm, normal is upper 40s.
I think my NSV is that even when I have one of those days or nights (like tonight) when my eating gets out of control, I refuse to get down on myself. I'm only human and humans aren't perfect, at least this human isn't! 😉 I'll try to do better tomorrow, but in the meantime I still like myself. 😊
🌬🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🍁🍂🍁🍂 - another NSV is getting my runs in.
1st week in November total 18.3 miles
2nd week in November total 20.3 miles
The app works again, no more blank white screen!

@MadisonMolly2017 Thanks for the encouraging words, you are a great example to us all and I look forward to continuing to learn from you and the rest of the members of this great community.
@Mrs_Hoffer Thanks for being here to cheer me on, I love our MFP friendship and your walking inspires me to do more!
@biketheworld Thank you, your Half Size Me series is still with me and as a fellow lover of her principles I can honestly say that her coaching calls were part of what made me feel like this was doable for me!
@enlightenme3 Wow, that’s very kind of you and I appreciate that so much! I do try not to let the scale rule me (although I love getting on there every day). It’s great to see you on the daily weigh-in challenges and I will be rooting for you through the upcoming holiday season! You’ve got this.
Thank you @readyornot1234 and @jamcnewman … so thankful for the positive and supportive atmosphere the members of UAC bring to my daily life.
This month’s NSV –
Had to take a picture for work to submit for a contest. My husband took one, I looked at it, and off it went. I felt great about how it turned out… before I used to take what felt like bazillion different shots and still never felt like any of them looked good.
Did I exercise today? 20 minute Peloton ride, 33 minute walk, 30 minute yoga

Exercise: 20 minute walk - barely made it in, busy day!
Tracking: Planned the day, followed the plan - except that my nightly snack/treat was a spontaneous buy at the gas station earlier in the day, but I was very proud of myself for buying it and saving it for treat time. I actually was kind of strategic in what I allowed myself to buy - a pumpkin pudding, with no spoon - hard to accidentally eat that on the way home.
Calories - Under
NSV - I think I already posted about this, but I don't think it was as a NSV. A few weeks ago I bought new clothes in smaller sizes. They've been arriving and I've been trying them on and liking how they fit and how they look. I've been wearing them and feeling great! It's partly the clothes themselves, but also that I am resolved to not just schlub through another pandemic winter in baggy clothes, feeling depressed. I am going to wear fun, nice, comfortable clothes that fit and be cozy and happy. (That's my intention anyway, and I will control the inputs).
I also have been walking faster on my daily walks - partly getting in shape and partly that it's getting colder. But I am finding I have to go farther to have it be a half hour walk.

As usual, we’ve had a lot of TERRIFIC NSV’s again this month!!
@donna25trinity getting up at 5:30am is an AWESOME NSV!! Doubly so when you don’t even ‘have to’ yet! Kudos! And THANK YOU so much for all of your encouragement to the team! I appreciate you! 😉
@yrc_pr you have a wonderful NSV as well! I can sure relate! I hate having to make more than 1 trip from the car – so I’ll carry a bazillion bags (and feel like my arms are gonna break!) and hubby just rolls his eyes at me! Lol. I can’t imagine having to do 3 floors with each load! Kudos to YOU!!
@madisonmolly2017 CONGRATS on losing this week!!! Woohoo!!! It feels good when we can get ourselves ‘back on track’ !!
@lazyblondechef GOOD FOR YOU for not blowing off your workout and making yourself do some upper body work! I know you’re struggling, but CONGRATS for hanging in there and sticking with us!
@slimtastesbetter As BMcC9 would say – you’re practicing for December’s Winner’s Circle! Kudos to you for continuing to come back! I think it was BMcC9 that also said “It is easier to drop out than to be a Champion. You chose ‘Champion’ "! And yes, I think you’re NSV is super amazing too! 😊
@bradkcrew In the past, when the 15th would roll around, I could never remember any NSV’s! I’ve actually started writing them down as I think of them, so that I have something to add to the conversation on the 15th! Lol.
@ashleycarole86 Aw, thanks. I feel the same way about you. You’re consistency is wonderful, and since you’re my only ‘friend’ on MapMyWalk, I always smile when I get the notification that you’ve completed a walk! I think if we ever travel to Canada, I might have to plan to make a detour and stop through your town just so we could have a coffee or soda, and say hello in person!! 😊 Thanks for always being so encouraging to me as well! (Awesome NSV too – you look ah-mazing!!)
@caroline_slowandsteady what a good idea to buy the snack (minus the spoon!) so that you have to wait until later. Lol. Great job on getting faster on your daily walks!

@jamcnewman - oh my goodness you are hilarious and inspiring at the same time.
@snowshoe072 - the pics are gorgeous. I’ve never been to Lake Placid and hope to make it one of these days.
@_JeffreyD_ I had to read your post a couple times thinking “why is he talking about putting clothes on?” And then it hit me - good one!
@davert123 - a 10 mile hilly walk is pretty darn amazing and a huge NSV. Congratulations.
@TerriRichardson112 - it must be the change in weather. I swapped my clothes out too.
Pass days: 4/3. Since I’m out of the winners circle I’ll set a personal goal to keep pass days 6 or less to try to prevent runaway eating now.9 -

NSV posted early on.
A second NSV: I haven't miss a day yet for signing on; Day 15 of the month and only using my second Pass.
First pass was a miscalculation on snack choice (learning situation); 15th was "didn't exercise / didn't complete log" because I wasn't feeling well (possible cold coming on - noz wudddnt stop running even after the cold&sinus pill; head stuffed wid coddon-wool .... just overall mizzzable.
But I am STILL a CHAMP - 'cause I reported anyhow. Hoping to feel better after a full night's sleep.8 -

NSV this month is that I haven't had nor missed any alcohol October or November- better mental and physical health as a result.
@jjjcat I love this! What a terrific NSV! 5 -
@bookieNJ Way to go YOU!!!! A great day!!
@biketheworld I think that's an excellent idea! I think it's important to continue to try to keep ourselves in 'check' throughout the remainder of the month, because once we know we're out of the Winner's Circle, sometimes our brains do evil things to us. Lol.
@BMcC9 uh oh, I hope you're not coming down with something. I hope that you feel better SOON! Good for you for getting that run in in spite of your noz. Lol.3 -

My NSV last week. I was going through my closet and found an old pair of jeans that i hadn´t worn in a couple of years. I didn´t think I had lost enough weight to get back into them, but apparently I have lost enough in the waist because they fit fine. (Especially gratifying because the pair of jeans I had bought to replace them when I gained more weight constantly was sagging down-- before I lost weight I had become too much ¨apple shaped¨ and would buy pants that seemed to fit in the store but if I would walk very much they would start slipping down. I had finally broken down and bought myself some suspenders. Thank God I no longer feel the need for suspenders or ¨old laby gathered at the waist style¨jeans because while I am in no way ¨thin¨ yet, at least there is a bit of pear to my shape again.)
