Started MFP 10 days ago, loving it!

Hi everyone,
I thought I'd drop a line since everyone seems so friendly here, I don't feel as shy as I usually would:)
I've been overweight all my life and now that I've entered my thirties, I thought it was time to
1) stop smoking
2) start exercising
3) lose the pounds
!
Been reading some of the posts on this forum and I have a very silly question: what is NVS??? I apologise in advance for my ignorance or lack of common sense!
I read some really inspiring stories and love the support you all give each other.
Well done, and happy to be here!

Non scale victory - My latest NSV was putting on pants that I haven't worn in years, and actually buttoning them!!

Welcome! I quit smoking when I was 22 years old. I started at 13 :frown: When I quit, every time I wanted a cig, I would go for a walk. Soon, I began to jog. I coughed a lot. All that sweating helps get rid of the toxins from the cigs. Anyway, I quit and NEVER looked back. Good luck!!!

I am new here too. I signed up a while ago with the mobile app but never really explored the website until today. I was really curious what NSV was too! I am glad I did some exploring today and found these message boards. There are a lot of inspiring stories and it seems like there is a lot of support and I'm hoping that gives me some motivation to really start working out and sticking with it.

Good luck with your journey!
