What's Your Most Recent NSV

SinomenJen

I logged every day this week, started all my mornings with some basic exercises, and hit my weekly step goal + 5k!

Biggest NSV so far... After losing almost a hundred pounds this last year... just over the past few weeks, I finally realized that I have met my own standard for health and beauty and stopped striving to meet someone else's. And in doing so, I set a new standard for how I am treated by others. I don't have to endure mistreatment because I finally feel a sense of self-worth that isn't tied to any other person. It's MY accomplishment, MY hard work, MY body, MY choices, and MY life. Not anyone else's. I've found a new sense of independence and self-esteem that is based in taking care of myself and treating myself well and there's simply no turning back from here.

This whole thread is great, but this post is one of the best things I've read. Congratulations, both for all your hard work and for taking control like that and finding that sense of self-worth!

Parents now want to buy healthy Israeli food up the road instead of dominos pizza to eat as takeaway

I had a re-orientation at the gym yesterday because they had some new machines and it turned out the floor manager I was scheduled with wasn't familiar with them either, so we had to ask another one. It reminded me that we don't have to worry about not always being an expert.

Pants that I bought new for myself a few years ago but never got to wear.. are now able to fit up my legs. I can do them up but they're a bit tight.. almost there!

NSV - went down the big slide at the children's park today (first time that I have fit on it comfortably) I also played on the see-saw with my son and made him push me on the swing. He wasn't impressed, I could tell as he kept looking around to see if anyone could see whilst muttering "I CANNOT BELIEVE that I am doing this". It was great fun!

I used to weigh 352... now I am at 243 and I fit into size 18 pants!!! I am SO excited!!!

I headed out to the local ecology preserve after a 12 hour shift and walked 1.5 miles. I'm headed to another 12 hour shift tonight and have every intention of going back again in the morning.

And while it's a semi scale victory, I was tracking my weight but not my weight loss, if that makes sense, and I found out that when I hit 10lbs loss, MFP gave me little fireworks to celebrate it. Screw the numbers, those little fireworks made my day. It felt like the app was so proud of me that it gained sentience to cheer me on.

And yes, I probably need to sleep now.

Been feeling down latley, struggling with the last 15lbs. (After loosing 100lbs in 2 1/2yrs) I fit into size 14 jeans comfortably, this time last year i was squeezing myself into 16's. (And im actually 4-5lbs heavier than this time last yr) Yay for weight lifting!

Yeah, the last pounds are the hardest. It took more calories just to maintain your body at your top weight, so you could eat more and still lose. But you've done a heck of a job, and you can make goal.

I actually have a SNV (scale non-victory)

I cut 20lbs from late february and hit my goal weight but I don't look anything close to how I would like. So now I don't know if I should start putting on weight again to add mass or cut even more to get to the body fat % I want. *sigh*

Check with a professional. I gotta say, your pic looks pretty damn good to me.

Getting back on track was a great NSV for me. Ten days of logging. A few years ago I lost 150 lbs and gained back about half of that. Realizing that while others may see MFP as a crutch the concept of logging my food will probably be a permanent lifestyle for me. I tried just controlling my food eating like I normally do while logging but one excuse leads to another, you fall right back into that pit of depression due to stress you start stop thinking about your food and only seeking sweet and tasty treats that make you ill and get larger and larger and larger.

Here is to my continued success and yours.

From someone else who's realized the need for lifetime logging and no longer sees that as an insufferable burden, Congratulations!

My blood pressure was low enough yesterday that my doc's considering cutting my med. However, I'm not getting lightheaded, so we're sticking with the current dose for now.

I have two NSVs.

The first is that I just upgraded my Charge HR to the Fitbit Blaze and I'm in love. The connected GPS feature is fascinating! I love that I want to spend my money on fitness things (ie gymwear!) rather than anything else.

The second is this photo. This dress has plagued me for two years. I bought it and it has remained with tags on since the day it was purchased online as there was no way that sucked was going to zip up! I kept it though as it was an absolute bargain and I was convinced I would fit into it one day. Today is that day!



I'm getting married in just over two months, with my hen party scheduled for 30th July. I've been shopping (in my closet!) and now I have a dress to wear!

This is semi non scale, but its a voctory for sure.

Soooo, I've had this pair of scrub pants that I haven't worn in a while. They "fit", just not properly. There was no way I couldn't comfortably wear them. I put them on after only 5.2 lb gone, and felt good in them. I was like hey, I've lost weight, I've been exercising, and I know I can squat and lift patients easily in these, let's wear them.

After work, I went to mom's and we went on our weekly mommy daughter date. Browsed around the Kmart that is closing in town, looking for deals. At one point I said "do these scrubs fit okay?", and she said no. My heart just broke because I thought I was rocking them lol. She then said "they're a little too baggy if you ask me" so that hard work the last mere 2 weeks has paid off!

I also picked up a 5 lb bag of flour, since 5 lbs doesn't always seem like a lot and reminded myself that THIS used to be on my body, and imagined carrying that flour around all day!

I just ran two miles in 18 minutes in full sun and 85 degrees, making that the hottest conditions I have run in. That is also my fastest 2 mile run in that park. I've been averaging 20 minutes so I ran a full 2 minutes faster than usual. I think I just wanted to get the run done lol

I set myself a goal of hitting 10,000 steps before I start other activities and duties of the day. I've hit that mark every day this week.
