It's fidgeting - burns a few cals.10 -
This probably isn't much but I love to bake so I made shortbread cookies for the first time today. Found a recipe with nutrition facts so I could track accurately. Being that shortbread is nothing but sugar, butter and flour (not healthy at all lol) I only ate ONE. And didn't crave another even though they came out great. I plan to bring them to my pool league on Thursday and share with the team so they don't tempt me further.15

I've read through this thread hoping someone would ask. Now if someone will just answer.
NSV= non scale victory. An accomplishment other than weight related.0 -
@JuliBiGoolee - I'm with you on the getting control over cookies front. I like to bake too. I bake cookies for my son and teenage grandsons and usually keep one or two for my husband and myself. I cannot believe I've finally gotten a grip on that. I would've eaten dozens a couple of years ago . . .12

@kittybenn Yes! And I know there are plenty of healthy cookie recipes out there but some classics just can't be messed with.

One of my coworkers also noticed, which is nice considering I'm only down about 4 lb. since the beginning of 2018.11 -

Great job @ValeriePlz !!2 -
We have a stand of ever-rotating candy at my office. I visited to get myself some m&ms (no shame in that CICO game). A coworker saw me and said, "I love seeing the super-athletic runners get candy too."
...Moi? Super-athletic? Runner? Sacré bleu!37 -
back from a weeks vacation and scale was actually down.
Came back determined to really focus on the eating for the next three weeks as a mini goal.
Very large slice of cake served today at our monthly birthday luncheon at work. had three bites and saved the rest to take home to husband.

Today I'm packing for a trip to visit my daughter at West Virginia University. I've noticed that since now that my clothes are either sized medium or large, I can fit a lot more in my large suitcase that I could with my sized 2XL wardrobe. Wow, even my luggage can now be a smaller size. Haha.38

I had to buy so many new clothes for my trip. It's supposed to get warm and all of my clothes from last summer are hanging on me (size 2XL). Awe shucks. New bathing suit, pants, shirts, jackets, all size 12-14, even my shoes were big. Go figure. I'm so happy, I'm going to show up to a sorority brunch actually wearing a stylish outfit. Not the usual, whatever will hide my huge body. I also got a new haircut and new car! It's a total new me. I'm loving life!40

There is a lady where I bank. She has been asking me about my weight loss for months. I told her about MFP and how it has helped me with my weight loss. Today she asked again and this time with her list of excuses. I remember that they were Identical to the excuses that I made before I got with the program. I am not intending to put her down in any way but it was ignorance that bound me to the idea that I could do no better than I was doing.
My NSV for today is that even though the scale has all but quit moving and temptation is to give up, I HAVE NOT returned to my denial. I know what is true when I hear it, even if it comes from inside. If I want to be healthy I need to act responsibly when it comes to food and exercise. I am able to continue today what I was able to do yesterday. I know the truth and the consequences of my actions.
I know how you feel. My scale has been hovering around the same 4 lbs for almost 3 months now. I no longer get on the scale. I'm strictly going by how my clothes feel. Still not giving up. I'm under in calories just about every day and I continue to do my zumba class 2-3 times a week. Plus I've increased my daily steps. Hopefully, at some point my body will get it's act together.12 -
Put my parents on a plane last night, back to the plan today.18

A few of my friends joined MFP too. They said that they've been following my progress on Facebook and wanted to know how I'm doing it. I've lost 56 lbs so far. I'm happy to say that one of them has lost 20lbs and the other 10. I'm so proud of them.

Last summer, these were a bit baggy but they fit. Today, I can literally fit two of me in them. They may, in fact, become a skirt because the one leg currently fits loose over my hips.

I planned in my calories to eat a bunch of hot Cheetos as a prize for eating so well and when the time came I had 0 desire to eat them, so I ate fruits and veggies instead. Mental progress!36

Trying on shorts to replace last summer's now way too large (and also now gone to GW) shorts. Bought 32" shorts, but tried on 30" shorts that I could actually button and zip up. They were just a little too tight and the last thing I want is to look like I am trying to wear clothes I am outgrowing. I felt a little vanity looking in the mirror at one pair in particular that I did buy. It's hard to believe I really did it.21

This is partly a scale victory, please forgive me. I haven't been able to exercise except arm exercises for three weeks now due to waiting on an appointment with a doctor. The NSV is I have been eating at maintenance (no extra calories because no exercise), logging everything, recording my scale weight and trying to take it with a grain of salt even though it was depressingly going up due to the swelling in my injured leg. In the past I have always gained back weight after being injured or sick so I was unable to exercise, and I vowed not to do that this time. The scale victory is it's working, today my leg was a little less swollen and my weight was down lower than before I was injured. So I am definitely still eating at maintenance and not gaining, despite being unable to earn exercise calories! And not eating my feelings despite being depressed about my situation!
Appointment tomorrow, y'all wish me luck, I need it!20 -

On behalf of @JuliBiGoolee why did this get flagged? I once got flagged for answering this question too. What gives? Do people think that flags are like bookmarks or is something more cynical happening?8 -

For simple patterns (read small things), I tend to pace around in front of the TV. Not cardio but a slight increase in NEAT nontheless.
My current project just doesn't allow it. (End stage of a sweater. Just too bloody heavy on my wrists).4 -
Being able to alter the pants I'm wearing to remove approximately 4 inches from each leg from the hips to the ankle. What a difference it made in their fit.11

I went to a health event recently and there was a silicone model of what 5 lbs of fat actually looks like... it is a lot more than you think!

I have a sticker that says, "If knitting were exercise, you could bounce a quarter off my *kitten*." I'd be in amazing shape.

I had the same thing happen when I went to my nutritionist 2 weeks ago. I made a comment about "I know it's only 7 pounds" and she stopped me and pulled out something that looked just like that but it was a pound. She made me hold it and said "you lost 7 of these!"14 -
I lost 2 inches off my waist in 2 months!

This is so great. I love that I can hang up more of my clothes now that they are smaller. When I would hang most plus-sized tops & dresses on plastic hangers they would pull down and get lumps near the shoulder. Now things hang neatly unless they're very delicate/sheer or extra heavy items.

After having a very round baby face my whole life I was able to finally lose baby fat from my face! I have a jawline!22
lol* But you're damn right I won't. I threw out almost all of my old clothes today. So if I do ever revert, I'll be raiding the linen closet lol.
