Weird NSV. Anyone else lost inches in unexpected body parts or the low priority areas. I had small wrists but i noticed my wrists are smaller. My ankle and feet look smaller but I barely had any fat there to begin with. I also noticed how bony my knees feel. It's uncomfortable to sleep sometimes. Again, I didn't have much fat in that area. The human body is so weird. I keep hoping my body will work
with me to reduce the fat cells in my hips/butt/thighs were most of my fat is stored, but my body just ignores my request. I need to have a come to Jesus meeting with my fat cells

Yes - 3 months in and I noticed that my toes were skinnier. I actually had the discussion with my body about the high level of fat around my belly, maybe being more important to be rid of, heart disease, diabetes etc rather than skinny toes. But I don't think it listened! after a year and a bit, other people have said my belly has gotten smaller and I fit into smaller clothes, but it seems proportionally the same size to me! Ah well, at least I have skinny toes!

"Low priority areas" cracked me up because it's so true. I've lost about 70 pounds with more to go, and while I love that my wrists, fingers, knees, even nose all feel smaller and bonier I can't help but get frustrated that my upper arms still look like Christmas hams! I didn't start this because my fingers were fat, you know? Let's get it together, body.

I've only properly lost weight once before and that time the weight seemed to come off more or less the same as this time (only I've got a lot more to lose this time). But one section of my body is losing weirdly this time actually: my double chin is usually the first thing to come or go with any weight fluctuation—even a simple 5 pound gain or loss—but this time it's been hanging on quite stubbornly, which is not the best since it's a high-visibility zone. The sides of my face have slimmed some in 45 pounds but only in the last few pounds has the double chin itself has started to give way. Unfortunately it seems to be 'melting off' from the sides first and now my double chin is just big directly below the pointiest part of my chin. So ... I have a turkey gobble at the mo ...

My blood pressure had plummeted to normal levels.

how long did it take for you to see a difference in BP?

I’ve been following the Dash diet guidelines while staying in a calorie deficit since 1/24/18, it took about a week to see an initial drop. It continues to drop, it’s now around 116/70 ish.

I started to swim again last summer and was appalled to realize that I was too heavy or too weak (probably some combo of both) to haul myself out of the pool / I had to exit from the ladder or stairs. I tried again yesterday and got my “kitten” out no problem. So now I can exit the pool where convenient for me!

Started C25K for summer running early this year. I give up on running during the winter because I hate treadmill running. These early interval days on the treadmill are working out ok though! Hopefully I'll be road ready when the weather breaks in April

I used to be addicted to McDonald's hot fudge sundaes. I felt like the drive-through people all knew me really well. I stopped going there (changing my route home from work helped!). Yesterday my 9-yr-old grandson asked to go get some fries. I planned on just getting an unsweetened iced tea but then caved and ordered the sundae. I literally could not eat it! I could have fit it into my calories for the day, but it just didn't taste very good to me! As much as I hated throwing the $$ away, I just drank my tea and then went home and had an apple with peanut butter--much more satisfying!!

I've been drinking my coffee black for almost two weeks now.

Literally sleep-walk ate frozen waffles last night. Logged them anyway!

I was able to put the level of the elliptical much higher than where I started, and not reach peak heart rate zone. I love when I can quantitatively prove I've gotten more fit.

Went and bought some dress shirts yesterday. Tried one on and it was super baggy. Took them back today and the employee measured me and said, I think a slim fit would fit you better. I was skeptical. Tried one on and lo and behold it fit me perfectly. I've gone from a 19 neck 3XL regular fit dress shirt to a 17 neck XL slim fit. I'm excited!

NewBetterBest18

Today I found an old jewelry box filled with beautiful necklaces that my husband had given me throughout our 35 years together. Unfortunately, over the years I had gained so much weight that they no longer fit me....until now. I'm so happy to be able to wear them again, and sadly, in some instances some for the very first time.

But at least now they aren't destined to be left in the box forever. This is wonderful and one of the best NSVs I've read.

I have weird sleep habits (sleep walking, talking, texting, and the occasional night terror) and I can definitely say I've sleep made food before hahahaha. It's never anything huge but making frozen waffles in my sleep is totally something I'd do too

Me too. I’ve woken up with half eaten sandwiches next to me by the bed. It’s so weird, but yes...happened to me sometimes too.

The weirdest thing just happened to me. I need reading glasses for my phone and computer, the past year or so as weight has gone on and type 1 diabetes has spiralled out of control at times, I've needed them more and more. Fired the computer up today, stuck glasses on and everything was blurry. Took glasses of and can see perfectly! So weird but I guess two weeks of good eating and good blood sugar control are having a positive effect after just two weeks. A huge NSV for me, almost brought tears of happiness!

KnitterNotAQuitter

I got diagnosed with T2 in November (in addition to my high blood pressure and high cholesterol), and I've been trying so hard to change my lifestyle to avoid checking sugar levels and injecting myself every day. Today, I got my three-month lab results at the doctor's office, and all my hard work is paying off!

- A1c is down 0.8 (6.4 to 5.6 -- now in the normal range)
- Cholesterol is down 88 (227 to 139 -- normal range)
- Triglycerides are down 252 (344 to 92 -- normal range)
- LDL is down 27 (110 to 83 -- normal range)
- Fasting glucose is down 60 (155 to 95 -- normal range)
- Blood pressure went from 160 something over 90 something to 110/70 (perfect!)

This is in three months. I used to feel like it was too late to turn my health around, but it's not. Just 90 days can make so much of a difference! I've lost almost 50 pounds, but this part is really bringing up the feels

Only bad part is my HDL is now too low! But, good news -- I get to eat more avocados!

It’s been very cold and rainy here in the Midwest these past few days and just for s**ts and giggles I decided to try on a pair of Hunter rain boots I got as a gift a few Christmas seasons ago. They are a tall and narrow style boot. I was so embarrassed when I received them because they are very nice and I couldn’t get them to go more than a few inches above my ankle. Now, 2 years and 60 pounds down later, THEY SLID ON LIKE A GLOVE. My feet and legs were so happy and dry and I could’ve cried from joy. It’s the lil things y’all.

It is Feb 22nd and I just ate the last chocolate from the 2 boxes I got as Christmas gifts. They normally don't make it to Ukrainian Christmas. Yay me!
