What's Your Most Recent NSV

Recovering enough from a shoulder injury to start bench pressing again.

Went shopping last weekend. Bought 5 dress shirts off the sale rack. All were Slim Fit! Still smiling on that one...

Hadn't planned on doing anything today b/c I'm sore and just lazy.
Daughter joined a girls running group recently and has been enjoying going for walks (and her jogging here and there).
Well after her virtual learning, she wanted to go for a walk. Instead of continuing my lazy day... I grunted myself up, got dressed and we took a nice quick walk outside. I even jogged just a little here and there too which is a huge deal for me.

A NSV from last week was opening my closet and realizing that all my pants either fit now. They used to be so tight that I had to wear them for awhile to be comfortable... not the way to start a good day.

The antique art deco diamond ring my BF bought me 6 years ago for our 10 year anniversary fits again!

Inevitable downside: most of the rings I bought the last few years (and there are a few! I love online jewelry auctions) are too big now.

I can do up my motorcycle chaps again! On the 3rd notch!

I'm back down to the size at which most of my "good" clothes fit again. 5 months and 42 pounds later. I'm patting myself on the back for not spending much money on the larger size I've now shrunk out of. Just a small bag of Old Navy basics is left to donate. If anyone takes clothing donations these days.Though I am questioning the goal weight I picked. I'll need a whole new wardrobe if I lose another 22 pounds but I'd REALLY like to make it down to a normal BMI.

I noticed yesterday that my wedding ring set is starting to spin on my finger again!

Running NSV - I broke my 1K, 1Mile, 5K and 10K PRs in September. The 10K was by more than 3 minutes on a day I felt like crap.

Yesterday at the doctor when nurse told me to take off my shirt, I did so without feeling self conscious about how I would look with no shirt on.

I noticed that if I need to go somewhere quickly I can just trot or walk quickly again, no huffing or puffing or strain. It feels sooooo good.

So I have a weird NSV... After several months of exercising regularly, eating better, reducing alcohol consumption, AND remembering to take my vitamins (because it's right on the MFP page for logging stuff!).... my finger nails have started to grow well. I could NEVER grow my nails. They always split and chipped so easily. I've decided to chalk this up to a better life style.

You could get them resized to fit? (I sympathise: I had to buy another ring to keep my wedding ring on when I lost weight. My wedding ring is engraved so I don't want to have it made smaller.)

They're all vintage silver rings and the cost of resizing would probably be as high as the price I paid for them 🙂 But yeah, I might choose a few I really like and that are resizeable when I've been in maintenance awhile!

The first picture was taken by accident from my webcam and I have to chuckle. I was horrified when I found it on my computer.
16 pounds and 7 weeks between the 1st and last picture. About 50lbs to go, but it's progress!

First Spin class after 6 months - knackered, but managed the whole class better than before lockdown 😁

Did my Harry Potter Virtual 5K today and beat my previous 5K time by 7 minutes (December 7, 2019). I am 36 pounds lighter now than I was then and I ran the fastest mile than I've ever run (11'49") in my life! Wahoo!!

great question! It stands for Non-Scale Victory, so successes that aren't measured by a scale. :-)

I’ve been thinking about taking up swimming again and the other day I decided to try on my old swimsuit from high school, a Speedo EU44. It fits!

But I was also doing a bit of online shopping and noticed a steep discount for a new swimsuit and thought that perhaps I could reward myself. I checked the Speedo size guide and noticed I meet the widths for a EU40 except for the waist circumference. After dithering back and forth I ordered in this tiny (to me) size and it arrived today. I can get it on, but it’s a bit to tight for a good workout. I think it will be perfect in a month or two and then hopefully last me a long time. It’s crazy to me that I bought regular size swimsuit, and not even the largest regular size they carry.

I'm so intrigued by this! it's cheating if you do it on a broom

Yesterday was my first day sticking to my calories. A very small victory but I hope the first of many.

LunaTheFatCat

That's a big victory @FutureFit2020 , keep it up!

I was losing weight so fast I got concerned about it. So I increased my calories this week. I weigh exactly the same as last Friday, which was the goal. I've figured out my current maintenance calories, which is nice to know.

Most importantly, I was able to break my focus and change my decisions for a different outcome and do it responsibly. No stress eating or pigging out on crap. That was a big deal moment for me.

My husband went out for donuts and kolaches this morning. I asked him specifically not to bring anything for me. And he didn't! I wouldn't say he's a food pusher, but maybe sometimes he is. I did, in the end, have one donut hole. The NSV is that I found that donut hole completely not worth it and won't even need to have that in the future!

I’ve missed two workouts since June, four months ago.

Beloved family was diagnosed with an inoperable, terminal version of the big C that carries a prognosis of 6 mo to 5 yrs. Once the initial shock and bustle was over, I began working out daily for sanity. It was something I could control.

I’ve moved across the country to be round the clock caregiver and haven’t slipped yet. Have internalized caloric range and intake learned from MFP and stay within goal. The only missed workouts have been unavoidable and were made up later.

That change in mindset, that dedication to a goal—that’s a big NSV for me.

I squatted 65 lbs for the 1st time!

Blood work came back today, and had an appointment with my cardiologist. Blood pressure medication was halved, cholesterol medication eliminated!

It'd been 3 months since the last check-up, and the effect of losing weight (16kg during that period) and following the Mediterranean diet had been profound on my system. My total cholesterol was 85mg'dl with the HDL hovering around a ridiculous 32mg'dl. My triglycerides were at 77mg'dl. ASAT at 18, ALAT at 25. BEGONE Statin!!

My blood pressure looks something like this now:



,so he had no choice but to also slice my BP meds in half, and have me re-evaluate in a couple of months.

I don't know who is happier right now, him or me (he was jumping up and down, it was a little hilarious to see). I'll take it though, this is really good news since it puts me closer to being able to operate a major clogged artery in my left thigh.

Onwards!

Dante, how wonderful for you!

This evening, when I completed my food diary, MFP came back with this: "If every day were like today... You'd weigh 74.6 kg in 5 weeks." Folks, that is below my goal! It will take more than 5 weeks, I suspect, but what a great feeling to see my goal weight in that five-week range for the first time.

I bought a package of ring snuggies - clear rubber tube thingys. Not a perfect solution but very doable for rings you don’t wear everyday.
