Currently I have in my house: 1 pint of ice-cream, 1 box of fried pineapple slices, 2 bags of chips, 1 opened bag of salted peanuts, 1 box of cookies, popcorn kernels, 1 bag of mixed candy and some non-diet soda. (I may even be forgetting something here...)

I haven't touched any of them in weeks All my fruits are gone though!

I felt bold enough to wear a muscle T during my workout class, and when I looked in the mirror during plank I was shocked to see what appeared to be shredded abs. That was a first, and it was thrilling. I felt like such a badass.

One of the guys at the gym that I really look up to went out of his way this week to compliment me on my squat. It made me feel awesome. It helped that it was a pr for me on squat as well.

I spent 2 days in the hospital with my mom while she had surgery and still managed to make my step goals both days by walking around the hospital campus. I also planned ahead & brought protein shakes & Quest bars so I wouldn't hit up the vending machines!

These are just fun to read, everyone is doing so well! My NSV is that I did not quit or get discouraged this week even though it seems like nothing is happening. Only 8 weeks in, but was hoping to not hit a slow down quite yet....

That's a great NSV! I love reading through these threads, even if I don't have a concrete victory of my own, because it makes me happy seeing everyone do so well!

Small NSV: Was able to do a very nice standing bow pulling and the laying on the floor bow pose on my Bikram hot yoga class!!

Most importantly, since starting bikram (about a month) I've been able to use two size smaller than my usual!! **Happy Dance!!!!

I'll be turning 53 this weekend and except for when in high school I'm in the best shape of my life. I'm starting to love 50! Best of all this morning my daughter told me I was her best friend and she was so proud of me for taking such good care of myself. Hey she's 14 that best friend stuff is big!

I didn't consider this an NSV but my friends list assures me it is. I dropped out of a weight loss challenge here, because I'm on week 2 of a new strength training program and actually *gaining* a bit. I was feeling incredibly low this morning at my weigh-in, even though during my morning workout I was feeling strong and healthy. I decided to drop the challenge, accompanied by its required weekly weigh-in, and leave the scale to gather dust for a month or so. And that was a good decision for my mental health, as well as my ability to give the strength program the time and patience it requires.

I wore a pair of pants yesterday that I couldn't button up 2 months ago!

Made a healthy decision to not consume alcohol calories on thirsty thursday with my work..... This means NO hungover/ beer gut feeling on friday! Yayyyy! And I wore shorts to work.... Would never have done that 3 months ago.

I mowed my lawn this morning (in flip flops) and the grass was still damp, so it stuck to my feet. When i came in i was able to lift my feet into the kitchen sink and rinse them off. What? Doesn't everybody do this?

LOL I do this and I thought I was the only one who did! Awesome NSV!!!

Cleaned out my closet of all my old clothing that is 2 sizes too big now ... not keeping anything as I am NOT going back!!

I am a 3 month lurker and have never posted, but I am so excited - my son is able to hug me all the way around - and clasp his hands and my younger daughter can clasp her fingers. First time....ever in their lives!

These are my favorite posts! Congrats to everyone, not just on your NSV, but on stopping and taking the time to think about your hard work and how it is making a difference in your life! Reading these just make me happy!

I was having a really hard time trying to think of one for myself, because, frankly, I've gained 4 lbs this summer and that's just depressing in any light. You all don't know my history and I won't get into it. I'm the healthiest person I know and extremely active... the 4 lbs is due to going WAY overboard on vacations and just not working as hard lately as I should be.

But, anyhoo..... I realized that my NSV is that I'm okay with the 4 lbs. For the first time ever, I'm happy with the way I look and I feel fantastic. I have goals and I'll get there. But, that 4 lbs? It'll come back off. Hard work pays off and once summer fun is over and I buckle back down I'll lose it.

*raises hand*

Or...I used too but my husband won't "let" me wear flip flops to mow anymore. Something about it seeming unsafe due to my lack of gracefulness. lolol

Another one:
My new work shirt is loose around the boob area!!! It is a men's medium and it that size is usually tight in that area.

I can appreciate how hard this is. Water up to 6-8
Diet Pepsi down to less then 1 20oz a day, used to be 2 liter a day habit

I had to tighten my Fitbit band another notch; it kept spinning around on my wrist. We won't even mention my wedding band! :laugh:

Logged my food intake this week and resisted the cookies & cream milkshake from Chick Fil A.

Got out my smallest pair of jeans and put them on and you guessed it - too big!!! I can take them on and off without even unzipping!! Leave for Jamaica on Sunday and won't feel bad about being in a bathing suit!!

Just vacuumed the entire apartment without stopping to rest.

My favorite NSV is my 17 year old daughter. She was weighing 152 lbs at the beginning of summer. She decided to watch her calories and get more exercise because of me and what I'm doing. As of weigh in this morning,she is down to 133 lbs and looking awesome!! I'm just happy to be looking thinner and my tight shirt is now loose.

I actually look smaller- I've been stuck around the same weight for a few weeks but my stomach is definitely shrinking

I absolutely love NSV.

Been a good week for NSV:
My pants feel looser
I got my husband, who NEVER does physical activity, to start C25K with me.
Logged for 5 days
Bought weights and did my first lifts for SL5x5
Back to walking with a limp due to being sore
Hit 10,000 steps at least 3 days this week
Husband actually suggested we stay in and eat healthy tonight

jakicooke

Today I went to put on a dress that I used to wear for work many many years ago - it didn't fit - it was too BIG!!!

also had to get fitted for a new bra and gone down 4 cup sizes!!!

its slowly, very slowly starting to feel real

This week I realized I don't look like a "fat person" to strangers anymore, I look like an average sized person. Super weird for me & super awesome.

SO SO much of this ^^^.
