    My NSV - today i realised that me & my 3 yr old daughter regularly SIT DOWN together for snack or lunch....a far cry from what it used to be - i used to grab food, from the packet straight to my mouth, mindlessly, and she was beginning to follow my example! Now we prep lunch nicely & sit down to relax and enjoy the meal together. (I'm a sahm, so being around food all day makes it a little hard at times).

    Reinforces one of my personal health rules....NEVER EAT STANDING UP

    Love this rule!!

    My NSV is being able to shop in the medium section! I was trying things on in bigger sizes but nothing looked right then realized it's because I'm smaller ☺️

    I had two yesterday! I resisted temptation when someone brought some munchkins to a meeting at work. I didn't have a single one even though the box was in front of me the entire two hour meeting. It helped because I knew I was having a treat later in the day which brings me to the next victory.

    We had a small pizza party at lunch for the trainers and I knew about it ahead of time so I planned to have two slices. I ended up having three but it wasn't the end of the world because in the end I fit everything into my calories for the day and actually ended up eating under my goal! This was big for me because before I could put away an entire pizza on my own if I wanted to. This time I was stuffed to the gills as soon as I finished the third piece.

    More hourglass/pear shaped. Looked slimmer in general

    1200 logging day streak.

    Killed it at the gym. I haven't gone so far in March so really glad i went. Also had a new top that says 'eat clean, train hard & #Letemhaveit' on it. Part of a 1stphorm challenge I'm doing. Made me go harder

    that is wonderful, congrats on being a great example! I need to follow that rule, never eat standing up. I eat almost all of my meals alone, so often standing, or sitting at a computer or in front of the tv. Why bother with the dining table when you are alone? :( Great job setting a positive example for your daughter!!! :smiley:

    I registered for my first 5K yesterday! I'm doing it with a group of friends and the plan is to walk most of it but it's in June so I have enough time to work up to being comfortable with jogging some of it!

    I have struggled to write a NSV because my journey has been long and up and down, but after my work in the last 4 months I have to do it now.
    1) I recently got to come off two medications (hbp and cholesterol)

    2) I have cut my 1 mile time in half!

    3) my A1c has gone from a 10.4 to a 7.5 in 6 months!!!

    4) I have managed to keep 25 lbs off for 3 years and have continued to lose weight!!!!!

    WOW! Going from a 10.4 to 7.5 is amazing, keep it up.

    My orthopedist said I could resume my regular activities. It's been six months since a car crashed into me while I was riding my bike and one of the injuries that resulted was a fractured hip. I didn't gain any weight and I'm signed up for a 40 mile bike tour in May.

    Congratulations! I'm so happy for you! As a fellow cyclist coming off a minor 6 week injury I'm really cheering for you! Way to get back on that bike :)

    a guy at church said you look like so and so, she is about your size. (oh my that lady is small) That made me feel good!

    I worked from home yesterday, which is normally (according to my fitbit), the lowest activity day of the week since I walk a lot to get back and forth from work. So I logged off from work and went for a 20 mile bike ride.

    My fitbit really doesn't know what to do with bike rides, but at one point I looked down at my cycle computer and was cruising along in a 25 mph zone at 30.1 mph. There is one long hill I have to climb to get home and my speed up the hill didn't drop below 17 mph and I wasn't panting. Breathing deeply yes, but not dying!

    I did check my cycle computer programming when I got home - and its right. I guess I'm getting my aerobic fitness back!

    I worked in a bike shop when I went back to school in 2006. People would come in and ask how they could get the weight of their bike down. I always had to keep my lip zipped and NOT point out that the easiest and cheapest way to get weight off the bike was to get it off the rider...

    I had my one month check up with my doctor since my diabetes diagnosis and going on metformin (and walking most days and really watcing what I eat). He was pleased. Numbers are good. It's working.

    Went to Steak N Shake with my son today as a treat. I love their shakes, but talk about a calorie bomb. I could fit half of one into my day without going over my goals. So that's what I had. The victory is not only staying within goals, but not feeling the need to finish everything I paid for.

    Reviewing video off my car's dashcam, I caught a glimpse of myself in it....and didn't hate it!

    I made cookies for a family party and, for the first time ever, matched the recipe's yield number. In other words, I didn't eat half the dough!

    I can now fit my 16 pants after wearing size 20 for most of the winter. I have pants ranging in size from 10 to 22 in my closet (I know :s ) . I also now have the guts to donate the larger sizes to my favorite charity.

    My 3 year old pulled out my Yoga mat and started to work out. She was attempting some poses, and then spread out a towel so I could do it with her. She was so cute, directing me into different poses. And let me tell you, her downward facing dog with one foot on the couch is a killer!

    But it made my heart swell knowing that I am setting a good example. I hope I can break the family fat chain in her, and that she never knows what it is like to be the fat kid.

    Wonderful!!!!!!!!

    Went out last night to (finally) get a new suit. I ended up with a slim-fit! I don't think I've ever been a slim-fit in anything.

    Yesterday I successfully avoided derailing my day with stress eating. I still indulged a little, but made it fit into my day.

    Also, I bought 2 pairs of size 10 work pants online. They were having a 50% off sale and I couldn't resist. I am currently a 12, but even if the pants don't fit now, I know for a fact they will fit (and be needed) in a couple months!

    My NSV is that I can have a crazy eating and/or drinking day and not sweat it! Like this very day, lol.

    I know I can get up and get back at my losing routine the very next day and mitigate any perceived damage.

    Love the MFP lifestyle!

    Collarbones are becoming more prominent :D

    My hip fat/lovehandles/muffin top/saddlebag, whatever you wanna call it area is slowly but surely shrinking. If only I could get my inner thighs to follow suit.

    Last summer I started to walk around my neighborhood. It took me about 15 min to get around. Today I decided to skip the gym and get some fresh air and not only did it take me way less time to get around; I ran in 80% of the way.

    Also, getting snacks or meals and being fine with not eating everything.

    Huge victory!! Congrats! Working my way down from an 18 to a 16 now. Hoping to eventually get back into a 12. Keep it up!

    My freshly washed jeans from 10 years ago finally fit in the morning 2 days ago. As the day progressed, I realized the waist was actually too big for me. And it was a size 4!!

    Been stressing over my class. But have been able to maintain my weight. No way in hell I am putting back all the weight I lost. I might still have a few pounds I would love to take off at some point, but I am happy at where I am at nor for the time being.
