I finally went and bought a new bra yesterday after losing 22lbs (Yay!). Once I put it on with my clothes though it became obvious how ill fitting they are. I honestly had no idea I bad I looked What I thought was just slightly oversized is a baggy disaster. I'm happy clothes are too big but I'll have to find a cheap way to replace a few things in my wardrobe

Thrift stores, consignment shops or sale bargains at cheaper clothing stores...

I just read 1000+ of these NSV (September to now) You are all so amazing! Congratulations everyone

Over heard my doctor after my appointment voice-recording my visit say "she is a healthy, very active lady." Simple words really, no fanfare or cheerleading given but very powerful to someone who has lost 65 lbs.

Wanted to go back in there to give him a big hug & kiss. It's taken me years to get here and feel proud of my body. Even though it wasn't said to me, I'll take it.

I took a Buti yoga class yesterday. The instructor wanted me up front so I could see her since I was new. The class was great and something I couldn't have done confidently before.

Lifting higher weights and seeing more muscle definition this week!

Powering through the 5k I just ran. I started out trying to see how far I'd get. I have a sore throat, and my legs were a bit stiff at the start. I figured I'd stop at a mile...then I was shooting for the halfway point. I kept setting mini distance goals, and eventually got it done. 5ks in general aren't that big a deal for me, I usually do it three times a week. Completing this one felt great, though, because I didn't think I'd get it done.

I am making a mass amount of cookies for a community event. Last night I finished 175of them, and did not swipe any dough, or eat even one cookie. Hopefully I can keep up until I'm done baking.

I now run one hour at 8mph (no incline) as a "let's go easy today" workout.

Non Scale Victory. Something other than the number on the scale that makes you feel good about your weight loss.

Went to Fatz last night for my mil's bday. I ate 0 of the poppy seed rolls with butter. And only 1/2 of my wrap to finish the day off under my calorie goal. Definitely a big deal since I can usually finish at least 6 (100 cal a piece) all on my own.

Helpful Hint: You can often Google acronyms and discover the meaning.

I see:
Non scale victory
National Socialist Vanguard (neo-Nazi group in Oregon)
A 12.7mm caliber Russian gun
Nullsoft streaming video
Non-surgical vasectomy
Neighbourhoods for a sustainable Vancouver


No real harm in asking here.

I did Google NSV a while back and figured it out (although the Vancouver group looks interesting ), but I got stuck on *kitten* and had to ask for help! Thanks to those who shared that it's the auto-edit for questionable language - as in, "got my fat *kitten* off the couch and started moving!"

And speaking of moving - my NSV - because I've been really trying with logging and exercise, I was able to work the past 4 weekends standing at the cash register at the Christmas tree farm without my knees giving out! I was hobbling a bit after the first couple days, but by this past weekend I was doing great!

NSV's - Non-Scale Victories - are what keep you going when you have been doing all the right things and the scale is messing with your head.

You will learn to love having them - even more than the numbers on the scale, changing.

Good luck!

I can almost see my collarbones. They don't jut out like I hope they will when I'm smaller, but I can feel them and see their outline in the right lighting.

I don't base ALL of my goals or mindset on the BMI scale but I really enjoy comparing it. Can't wait for the day I'm all in the green!
(I hope this is still accepted as a NSV even though it does have to do with weight....even if it's not accepted, it's a victory for me!)

I fit into a size large jogging pant last night...yes they are are strenchy but I haven't wore a large without a couple of xx in front for over 13 years!! I pranced around in those jogging pants even if they were old and had seen better days!!
