What's Your Most Recent NSV

I caught a guy in Costco checking out my butt. LOL. I NEVER thought that I would be a 64-year-old woman with a butt that would be admired.

What is a NSV? I have seen that term used a lot, and I am not sure what it starts for.

Non scale victory - any accomplishment or victory that isn't linked to seeing weight go down on the scale.

latest NSV: was able to fit into the same climbing harnesses as my 9-year-old campers today at the ropes course!

(i am 4'11 and really should be camper-sized, dont worry lol)

So I have this nice leather jacket (needs a small repair) that I haven't been able to wear in about 25 years. My daughter wore it for a while but hasn't been able to fit in it for at least 10 years. I hated to part with it as it is a quality jacket that was passed down to me by a family member but I really didn't think I'd ever be able to wear it again. I tried it on for fun yesterday just to see if I could even get it on. Not only was I able to put it on but I was able to zip it up too!!! Now if I could just button up my size 6 dress pants, I can zip them up but can't button them, lol.

@jaded989 That is an awesome success! Keep doing what you're doing, and those pants will button up soon enough.

@herblovinmom check out non-chain bakeries and doughnut shops. We’ve got four within a few blocks of me that all have gluten-free doughnuts and pastries.

My first NSV is I finally wore that crop top into the weight room. Now there are three other older women wearing crops. I feel like I started something! 😇

It’s lovely to have likeminded older women surrounding me. It’s such a unique gym (our average age is prob late 50’s and we’ve got lots of cardiac and other rehab patients along with “regular” gym users). I’ve heard over and over “like a family” from both members and staff. I feel very fortunate to have this place practically on my door step.

My second NSV is finally hitting pre-travel and pre-bike wreck weight. It took four months of patience to heal and get it off.

my husband and I have both (re) committed to losing weight by March for 20th anniversary trip. It is so much easier to stay on track when we are both actively working towards it

I have committed to running (more likely walking) a 5k in September that I have started training for. I had my 3rd training session yesterday and it is going a little better each time. I am still walking 90%, but when I do run, it feels slightly more graceful.

Technically this is a scale victory, but I'm calling it an NSV. I went on a week long road trip, ate my way through NYC, lots of fast food. But I managed to LOSE 1.5 pounds on vacation!

Also while on vacation, I fit into a pair of shorts that wouldn't button last summer!

I'm calling this a NSV: yesterday there was a small going-away party at work for a co-worker that is leaving that included 5 boxes of pastries and I didn't have one, not even a bite!

I have the devil of a time getting out of my bathing suit top after getting home from the pool.

I’ve been calling my husband upstairs to extricate me before I rip my shoulders out of their sockets.

Yesterday, out of the blue, it occurred to me, I can slip this baby down and over my hips.

Worked like a charm.

I am gobsmacked I can undress this way. As a former fat person, that was never in my sartorial experience. 🤣

I made it to the gym at least twice a week during July and it feels like its getting easier!

Triglycerides down 👍

Still working on some other stats, but I'm 100% taking that small win.

I have been in maintenance for two months now. I don't always track everything I put in my mouth anymore. So my most recent NSV is that I've learned to still choose healthier foods and continue to eat smaller portion sizes.

takinitalloff

@Veta2018 Waaayyy to gooooo 👏😁 I’m so happy to see this update from you!

Off my blood pressure medication for a week now. Pressure today= 113/64.

NSV: My skin has cleared up tremendously since I've been eating healthier. I don't have a single blemish, and my skin actually glows. It feels balanced. Been getting compliments. I no longer flinch when I look at my face in the mirror.
