What's Your Most Recent NSV

PacificLotus

I had a primary care appointment last week for a routine exam, and was telling the nurse about how I lost the weight. She said she co-leads a weight loss and fitness group with a doc and that everything I was saying is exactly what they teach. Then she said "you should come in and talk and show them how it's done." Nice to get confirmation of my strategy!

OK, so this is totally a scale victory, but I have officially lost 90 pounds!!!!

And, for a NSV, yesterday I was given a t-shirt as part of a weight lifting thing I did. When I signed up, I assumed the t-shirts were all men's sizes since it didn't give an option of men/women shirts. While it did ask for your gender on the registration form, no where did it say that ladies would receive a women's t-shirt. Because of that I ordered a medium. Imagine my surprise to find out it was a lady's medium, and not a men's medium! I went ahead and tried it on, and while it was a little snugger than I prefer my t-shirts, I was able to wear it. Me, wearing a medium!!! Woohoo!!

I've got another!
Drug out my pants today and they are loose! Not falling down loose but heading downward when I walk loose.

Also I can fit into a top one size smaller comfortable! I'm size 20 now!

Yes that's pathetic I know but yay!

That's not pathetic at all! I started at a tight 22 (refused to move up to 24!) and was very excited to get into a 20! Keep it up!! Congrats!

I stuck to my calorie goal yesterday. It isn't much, but I've been struggling hard lately.

One of my goals is to be able to say YES to things that require a person to be fit. This year I set a goal to climb Mt Kilimanjaro and I DID IT. I was the heaviest person in my group and the last to finish but I MADE IT!

Being able to run along side my son whilst teaching him to ride his bike without stabilisers - although he is too quick for me now lol

I just got this new road bike and have no doubt that I will get a lot of use out of it.

Ohh that is pretty!!

I said two bikes ago that I wasn't going to add to my collection anymore. I have seven now!

My NSV today is that the jeans I'm wearing have holes under the belt loops where I was trying to yank them over my thighs six months ago. Not so much as a wiggle today, nevermind the full-on skinny jean dance!!

On Saturday, I walked and hiked 10 miles and didn't even feel a little tired. I only returned home because I got hungry or else I could have kept walking. Being lighter makes physical activity much more enjoyable and my knees no longer hurt.

This thread is great! Reading all of the victories is really inspiring!

Made bad choices at lunch yesterday. Basically ate all my calories for the day at lunch. Instead of chucking the whole day, I ran 3miles when I got home (even though I really didn't want to) and made great choices for dinner. Ended up just under my net calories for the day. It would have been so easy just to have given up at noon and called it a "cheat day". So glad I didn't!

I am keeping my new year's resolution... and so far I have lost 8.4 lbs in 55 days! (didn't actually start on Jan 1... )

Had 11 days at our house in the South of France and made good choices with food and exercise, but enjoyed myself whilst we were there and felt fantastic!!

I've progressed down through all of the notches on my "fat" belt and moved on to a smaller belt this morning. Not only did it fit, but I actually needed the 2nd notch! Not a huge deal, but it's definitely progress!

i did a 5K yesterday and ran the whole way! no stopping or walking!

carliekitty

My tight jeans can now be pulled off/on w/o unzipping

c_leeee

I have a few, I now fit comfortably into size 16 jeans! When I started size 22 was tight!

All of my bras even the sports one are too big now! When I started these cups totally overfloweth'ed!

And what I'm most excited about is I've gotten my mile run/walk down to 12:34. I know it's not super impressive but when I started I was averaging a 17:40.
Next I want to be able to run an entire mile without stopping!

Yesterday, I ran my very first half-marathon. And I mean ran. I never had to walk. Not 5 months ago, I couldn't make it through a 5k without walking most of it. Now I know that that each small change I made builds on the others and extraordinary accomplishments are achievable.

This! I was finally able to do a body weight chin-up!

Saturday I went to the pool and decided to go to the weight room instead. I did an hour there and then went to the wellness area--whirlpool and heated ceramic bed. After, I was in the shower and went to grab some soap when I found myself face to face with a woman that I do acqua-gym with, but don't really talk to since I'm at one end of the pool and she's on the other. I said "Oh, hi" and she said "I don't know what program you're on, but your body is looking great"! She proceeded to say how you could really see a difference from before. I said thanks, and explained MFP to her and her friend. I've been on MFP for 2 yrs, and have lost 20lbs. Since I'm 60, I'll take any compliment I can get! Thanks MFP.

my movement on the tennis court has been GREATLY improved, and I recover much fast. That is FITNESS!

I finally jogged 5k without stopping! I started C25K in mid-February so am well chuffed to have managed it (I couldn't jog for one minute without needing to stop then). I'm not the fastest (37:58) but am just so so happy!
Oh, and two people at work commented on my weightloss today (first people to notice except for my partner and my brother). It's been a very good day today

I went clothes shopping the other day and ive went from XXXL to L t-shirt and from 38/40" jeans to 32" in 6months

I wrote in my weight check-in 97 kg, after a few seconds I realized that it was 87 kg. The habit is still there.

Smaller summer tops!!!!!

Did anyone watch Family Guy last night? The scene where Lois and Peter had accidentally switched pants was funny, especially Lois' comment.

I saw my reflection in a window today while walking and had to do a double take. My shape has changed so much!

Pre babies AND pre wedding (7 years ago) jeans not only FIT but need a belt on them too!! *does victory dance round bedroom*

I'm about 45lbs down, but can't visually tell the difference myself yet, though at Easter someone who hadn't seen me for a couple of months did notice. I got on an 'old' train today (something I haven't done for a long time as they're only used during peak and being unemployed for almost a year I have no need to travel during peak and was only doing so as I was returning from a job interview) and where I used to need to sit sideways to prevent my knees being crushed against the seat in front, this was partially from having long femurs for a female, and a big old protruding butt. I have joked the reason I can't tell where the loss is happening is because it's gone from my butt which I can't see, and the train confirmed it. I was able to not only sit in the seat without crushing my knees, but there was almost an inch of space between my knee and the seat in front.
Where previously if someone chose to sit next to me on the train I'd get sore/cramping in the upper thighs/groin area from keeping my knees closer together than they naturally fell (thanks fat thighs!) and not being able to keep my heels on the floor because of how the seats in front are attached, today I didn't get that either, which means the walk home from the station was a walk and not a limping shuffle!
