What's Your Most Recent NSV

I found a new thigh muscle protusion, and I got up off the floor after playtime without grunting and huffing!

I'm down a cup size/ cup size and a half. They're still unnecessarily large but I feel more balanced escaping I/J land.

In the X-ray room, the tech asked me the routine questions. “Have you lost weight since the last mammogram?” “90 pounds”. She looked at me like I had three heads. I guess she thought the mask was muffling me. “How much?” “Ninety.” “Ninety? As in nine-zero?”

She had a really hard time comprehending that.

Oh I just LOVE that! They are probably so used to people gaining that someone showing up with a full body transformation like yours is like meeting a real live unicorn. WELL DONE!

Possibly the best user name ever!!!

I have been able to lose 10+ pounds since my gym closed in March. That is amazing since I have not exercised. I sure miss the gym and I have had to cut down on calories but my clothes are fitting better and better. It is way too hilly in my neighborhood for me to walk for exercise since I have a bad knee. Looking forward to going back to the gym soon and being able to eat a few more calories each day!

NSV: I'm still at it even though it's slow. Things are moving in the right direction, and I am patient. I was able to buy a new dress today, tried it on, and didn't hate how I look in it. Its been a while since I could say that.

Just listening to my body for the last 2 weeks, not counting calories. Still tracking, just to check out my natural intake and my weight levels have stayed stable.

I am wearing size 34 Levis for the first time in 50 years, feels pretty good. Last year I wore size 62 pants, when I look at the new Levis I can't believe I could fit into something so small.

Doctor was very happy with where I am at health-wise. My BP is 106/72, so my diastolic (bottom number) has come down nicely (it was floating at 85 for a while). He congratulated me on my weight loss as well.

I finally broke my plateau. It was a long 5 weeks but I persisted. I didn't give up though I wanted to a bit.

It may have helped that I've been eating closer to maintenance while I've been on vacation. Trying to reduce my stress levels.

I wish I could have gone bathing suit shopping this year, but that just means next year will be bikini shopping lol.

I dropped another belt notch this morning.

My most recent NSV is taking a selfie with my daughter and seeing dimples again! I have hated how I've looked for so long and I actually don't hate this picture and my dimples are back. Can't remember the last time I saw those, I know it was when a Bush was in office! Even the fact that I was willing to take a selfie is a NSV in itself. I really needed that motivation, too. Have been becoming complacent recently, so thank you God!

What's your recent NSV?

I've been able to do intermittent fasting everyday for the past two months. I've also been able to exercise 6 days/week since May

My waist is finally what is said to be what is preferred by MDs - less than 1/2 my height in inches!

My friend took a candid photo of me when we were walking on a trail. It’s the first time in a long time i didn’t feel embarrassed about myself in the picture. It was a great feeling to look at a picture I didn’t take and think I looked ok!

An SV related to NSVs...

I am actually losing! This is the first time I have lost intentionally. I live mostly outside of the States with some short periods in the States. And two times when I have left the States I have within a year lost about 40 lbs, not on purpose, but then because it wasn't on purpose it all came back, sometimes with extra. So for the last year and a half I have been in the regain stage and I don't want the cycle to continue so I am really trying to actually lose. So I have consistently logged in and tracked for 45 days (over 6 weeks), and I am trying to lose the healthy way. I am learning about eating lots of fruit and veggies in order to fill myself up with the right stuff but keep a calorie deficit. And I am not denying myself. I don't like to eat below 1800 calories so sometimes I eat some ice cream in order to get to the right number of calories. Or if I go out for burritos or burgers I log it early and make the whole day work together so I can eat that yumminess.

And, in the last few days I have been doing some ab and arm workouts and some stretching. I do a lot of walking and hiking so I figure my legs are mostly taken care of that way. I want my inches to go down so I can fit into some clothes I have. They are jeans mostly and I won't be wearing them much until the fall, so hopefully by then I will have shrunk into them.


Great job to everyone else out there! I love this thread (feed?) as it is so encouraging and inspiring!

Saturday didn't go well. I didn't exercise except for a little walk and I'm not going to start about the food.
But I didn't quit. Today I could weigh myself or exactly track my intake since I've been away, but tonight I'm back home and back at going my workout. And I'm proud to say that today I did a full 30 seconds no stopping jumping jacks and I didn't die!!!!!! I haven't done any type of jumping for any amount of time for the last almost 8 years since I nearly lost my foot/half my lower leg in an accident.
I'm so proud of myself because it's (now I'm realizing) mostly fear that's been holding me back.
Even when it's hard, forward is the only way to go. I have to keep trying and fighting, otherwise my health will only get worse.

YES!!! "I didn't quit" is such a great NSV. And well done on the jumping jacks!

Thank you! It's very encouraging!
As for my NSV this time, my hands are getting their shape back. My fingers are always chubby looking even when I'm in my healthy weight range, but it seems like I lost the fat on the back of my hands. Ever since I first noticed a few hours ago I can't stop staring at them 😂
I feel like the weightloss is noticable from the toes/fingers when you lose a little and then all the way to the stomach when you lose a lot. My "big" bra doesn't fit properly anymore. I'm sure it will when TOM happens but I usually go up 2 cup sizes then 😵 I'm also starting to see more definition in my lower legs.
I know it's probably because it's the start of my journey but I notice little changes almost every other day. It's very motivating

A dress that was too tight a couple a weeks ago now fits, as well as some work clothes that I bought ages ago!

I got on my bike and went for a ride last night and tonight, despite desperately not wanting to on either day. The rides were both a struggle, and super buggy, and I only went about 5 miles each day, but who cares! I did it! That's a victory right there.

GreenValli

Went to see the doctor yesterday. He commended me for my weight loss. But even better he went through all the blood work, and vitals. He said I was one of the healthiest of his patients. (But I must add that I do have a bad knee that sometimes limits what I can do.)

After stopping and starting calorie restricting quite a few times (and putting on a few stress pounds thanks to moving and the pandemic) I am back in it. This week has been a good one, and the extra protein I'm eating is really helping keep me satiated. I have high hopes that in the next six months I will be able to finish meeting the goals I set in 2018. I have the muscular base. Now I will let go of the fluff!
