NSVs? Let's share them!

My NSV for the week: I have PCOS and haven't had my "shark week" in about 8 months. Today my body is trying to do its thing without any prescribed help.

Most people wouldn't be happy about it, but I, for one, am thrilled.

What's your NSV?

NSV= Non-Scale Victory for those who don't know

Bought a uk size 12 / us size 8 pair of trousers in zara. I had been looking at size 16 and assistant said the size you need is 12. I reluctantly went to changing room looked at said trousers and said to myself no way are they going on me as they were marked as a slim fit too. Anyways pulled them up, they not only went on but with plenty of room in waist to spare yay, I was jumping up and down in the changing cubicle.:happy:

Ran 5k in gym, first time in years and took 32 minutes. Have been doing a mile a few times a week and last week managed 2.

After my water aerobics class, I got on the treadmill at the gym and began to run for the first time ever! For 50 minutes I ran one minute and then speed walked for three minute intervals. Except for my hamstring cramping everytime I ran, it wasn't bad. My cardio is in my better shape then my leg muscles apparently. Today gave me hope that I will actually be able to RUN the Color Run in October.

That's awesome!!! You should start the C25k program. I too have the Color Run on Oct. 5 and started the c25k two weeks ago. I am repeating some of the weeks since I have until Oct. To finish it.

I walked a 24 minute mile yesterday. A month ago I couldn't walk a mile!

My belly fat has shrunk enough so that my tshirts don't hug my belly anymore. They fall straight down from my boobs!

I ran 46 minutes today without stopping! Good job everyone, these are so fun and inspiring to read!

Can finally fit into my size 1 shorts that I have had forever, couldn't even zip them before! I have wide hips so pants are always a struggle

I wore shorts, belt and tucked in shirt to a concert last night. Right in front of all the humans! :drinker:

Not major, but good or bad news/habits, I've logged 40 days in a row.

So, this is kind of a weird NSV, but I realized that I've lost around 25 pounds since last summer and I can tolerate the heat much more! I'm not a sweaty mess walking from the car to the shops, to meet friends, etc!

My NSV is that even though I didn't workout AT ALL this past week with a horrible cold, I still ate right, and managed to still lose a few pounds.

First day I didn't feel the need to weigh myself (I compulsively weigh myself every day). Something clicked and now I feel like I can trust that as long as I'm sticking to my calories and going to the gym, the weight will keep coming off. I'll try a scale check-in in a few weeks, maybe even a month if I can stand it that long!

Got a compliment yesterday that a friend of mine could really see the weight loss; funny thing is that I haven't actually lost weight since I last saw here but that my body looks more composed.

Today I managed to 'rescue' my buddy from 7m dept and swim him to shore (a good 20m swim) without any pain. That was enough to finally get me my stress&recue+ master diver certification

My corset is too big. I was actually a bit embarrassed to go to the club in it. It kept shifting when I was dancing.

Also, set up an actual "exercise date". NEVER would have dreamed of doing that a year ago.

This afternoon I picked up my daughter from Roskilde Festival. We have not seen each other for a few days, and she was kind of chocked... ; mum you are skinny. Thin allmost.....
Thats the biggest LOL-happy-dance-moment for me.
The truth is that I´m still kind of fat, but 20 kg makes a huge difference for my appearence. Love it more than what the scale tells me every morning. ;-)

Today I'm wearing the skinny jeans that I bought 2 years ago as an incentive.

That even though I know intellectually that I am not over weight I see myself that way because of how long I spent very over weight.
I looked in the mirror for the first time in years and I did not see an overweight woman.

I made myself start C25K today and didn't stop until it was done ! Did Week 1 Day 1 at 3.0 speed and 1.0 incline. I couldn't believe I did it today..it was amazing. I also for the first time ever ran on a treadmill without holding on ! ( I have severe balance issues)
I was so happy with myself I wanted to yell to everyone..YES I DID IT!.

Just put on my capri jeans for the first time in two years. Didn't have to do the hula wiggle to get them on and no sucking my tummy in to zip them up.

thank you all so much for sharing your NSV's!! they are great inspiration!!! keep up the great work!!

ashleydawndill

Put on a pair of shorts today that I've been finding too tight for awhile now, but today they came on easily and fit great! So excited!!

I'm also really insecure about my thighs, so the fact that I wore shorts at all is a big deal for me..

Went shopping in the "normal" sized shops! Also managed to buy a load of **** for £77! Bargen
