What's Your Most Recent NSV

gradchica27

My PT cleared me to resume lifting (cautiously, lighter weight only, but still) today, after a whole month of hard work. What a happy, happy day!!

I was inspired by all of you 'shopping' in your closets. I'm normally very good at cleaning out my closet at least twice a year and everything that doesn't fit (whether too big or small) or that I didn't wear that season goes out. I just remembered though that I did save one small bag of super expensive bras and underwear that were too small that I couldn't quite bear to just get rid of but I forgot about them because I never keep things that don't fit. Well I just tried them on and every single thing fits! And I'm super glad I remembered them now because several of them are very nearly too big. Hopefully I'll get at least a few weeks wear out of them (though you better believe I'll get rid of them the instant they're too big ;P )

I think I have that same one! I bought it thinking it was adorable, but then didn't like that it showed my belly flaps as well as it did. Now they are gone, but it's getting too hot to wear now. Maybe it will still be cute next fall and possibly even fit. You look adorable!

In the upper 80's here today so I wore a dress without shorts on underneath and crossed my fingers that chub rub wouldn't be an issue like it used to be when I was 45lbs heavier. 10,000 steps later and not the slightest bit of irritation!

I can't believe I did it! I jogged 20 minutes nonstop (week 5 day 3 of C25K)! Miracles happen

I'll never forget the day I knocked that run off. Congrats, it's a beast, and you killed it. Great work

I have a hard time getting my steps in (full-time student, too much time sitting in class or standing still in lab) but I spent most of the day outdoors with my husband, building a new garden bed. He had to leave for work so I went up to Home Depot myself to get soil (five 2 cubic feet bags) and seeds. Lifted and moved and got the yard looking all nice. My VivoSmart changes my step goal based on my activity level and I passed up my goal of 5000 (I know, pretty low) and hit 6751. This summer, that bed is going to grow me some purple potatoes and peas.

I totally understand this struggle!! I've lost almost 20 pounds so far, and am hoping after these next 20 or so pounds I will be able to do this. Awesome for you!!

Feeling pretty good this am - after a long weekend in NOLA with good food and drink, stepped on scales Mon and showed 3# gain. Right back to it on Mon and this am the 3# are gone! While I certainly went over my daily 1200 cal those 4 days, I logged and got in lots of walking. Guessing it was mostly water retention. In the past the gain after one long weekend would have discouraged me - NO longer!

Purple fries are fun to serve to people who are pretty, erm... unadventurous where food is concerned...

We've prepared our beds last weekend, and the onions and garlic are already in the ground. Most of the rest has to wait until the last of the Ice Saints (last really cold day of the spring - usually with ground frost) in May (the last is on the 15th of May this year) before things like tomatoes can go into the ground.

And congrats on the new step high! I was proud as hell when I finally started hitting 8K regularly. I do still have 3K days, but those are getting rarer.

Today I noticed that at some point I'd gone down to the smallest hole on my belt, which is marked S/M on the inside!

I have wanted a tattoo to honor my mother for a long time now. I did not want to put her memory on a body I wasn't proud of. I officially lost 90 pounds yesterday and went and got my ink

And you didn't share the picture?!?

I'm debating getting a tattoo to cover some scars. My sister did it and it turned out awesome. Looking everywhere for ideas.

Im so doing the same thing although you are already there I'm going to wait a little longer. I love tatts as well so would be good to see it (if you are willing to share of course)

I have COLLARBONES. They were hiding there underneath the extra padding all along! You can see them!!!

Lots of compliments on my top today. : ) I couldn't wear it last spring because it was too tight to be comfortable, but now it fits well.

Also, I got the "Are you done losing weight? You look like you should be done by now." from a co-worker. I just smiled and said "Almost". I have about 5 lbs to my initial goal, but they don't need to know that. LOL

FINALLY a good relationship with my food. Yesterday was my birthday and i did not use it as an excuse to have two breakfast,elevenses,luncheon, supper, dinner and night lunch. I had my regular meals ,one cocktail and some dessert. Then stopped eating cause i was full. Normally i would have accepted every invitation for a meal yesterday and just go crazy in the name of celebration.

I registered to walk in my second 10K this year. Want to beat my last one's average pace and be at 15 minute or less per mile.

Not sure what NSV stands for, but I think this fits...but in class the other day I was able to do 15 push ups on my toes with knee tucks and walkouts! I made it through 3 rounds of those along w/ my other various exercises for that round! Yay me!

well I made it 100 days of logging on MFP over the weekend and lost a total of 15lbs. I'm not sure if this is considered a NSV. I was at Victoria Secret yesterday bra shopping. I wear 36B but my band length is getting smaller since I'm losing inches around my waist but not my cup size. So I tried the 34C and it fits perfectly. I don't think I went up a cup size so I had to ask the bra specialist for some assistance. She said that is typical to transition from 36B to 34C since my bust size didn't really change much but my under bust is 29 inches. I have never been a 34 C in my life.

Also, I bought a nice beach sarong wrap to wear with my 2 piece swimsuit on my birthday beach trip. I tried it on and it looks so cute!

I tried on for the first time a 38 waist and I need a belt!
and can almost fit into a 36.
I bought the 36!
Everyone else I told was like
"That's nice dear..."
But to me it really is a big deal.
Just glad I have FP.
You guys know what a drop in size can feel like.

ekd23

I've gone down another bra band size!

I have to shorten some of my neck ties because they don't have to travel all the way over my extra belly anymore!

We know exactly what it feels like. Also, if you talk about nsv's to other people, it can sound like bragging or boasting to their ears. But if you say it on here, people are just so darn happy for you

So much this. I've stopped mentioning my NSVs to people around me (well, 2 exceptions, but they're rooting for me and my role models for how I want my lifestyle to be. ). I've found that on MFP, people will just be happy for you because they understand exactly what kind of an achievement it is. It seems silly to people who've never been in that situation but it means the world to us!

yesterday, I did not say no to this yummy chocolate caramel cookie thing (Star Crunch) I hadn't had one in years. I bought just 1 ate it, enjoyed it and then walked for 30 minutes to burn those calories. I really wanted it, but I didn't want the calories it would give me. I thought long and hard about eating it. I decided I could have it, if I burned the calories, and I did.

The fact that I sat and thought about it before I ate it was amazing, and then made a plan so it would work, rather than just not caring. NSV for sure. BTW, not sure it was worth the extra walk, but it tasted good at first.

Today I completed C25K - beginning as a completely non-runner who thought she would die on day 1!

Also, I am co-hareing a hash house harriers run this Saturday - I am officially a runner, when/how did this happen?!

This is going to be a little bit of TMI but here it goes... I am not an underwear type girl but I had bought some boy short type undies last summer to wear under my skirts for work. Being that I don't normal wear them I bought them a size bigger than what I thought they should be because well ya know... Well needless to say, they did NOT fit me. It was like stuffing way to much sausage into a tiny casing. I took them and put them in a draw never to looked at again. it's been so nice out these past couple days I decided to bust out the skirts and YES the boy short that were in the way back of my dresser and sure as *kitten*, not only did the fit, they were actually a little baggie on me... I was never that self conscious girl when it came to my "larger" size but those undies actually being big on me was such an amazing feeling I can't even explain... Greatest NSV!!! LOL
