NSV - post your recent ones!

junipuni

Today was a big day. I don't normally eat out anyway but I always find it really difficult when I am really committed to eat out. I have no problem going out and enjoying myself every now and then but I find it really hard when I am wanting to stick with my guidelines and enjoy eating out at a restaurant.

Anyway, my nephew is visiting and my mom wanted to go out to lunch at Sizzler. Normally I would get the salad bar. That would have blown it for me. I have no self control with that situation. I love desserts too much. So, I decided on the hibachi chicken with broccoli and had water to drink. I was VERY happy with the nutrition info and excited that it was not only delicious but also filling.

What are some recent NSV for you?

For a friend's birthday this past weekend, we went to Red Lobster. First off, when I was getting ready, my husband stopped what he was doing, looked at me, and said, "Wow, honey.... I'm really proud of you! You're looking AMAZING!"

Then, when it came time to order dinner, I got my norm, which was their lobster pizza appetizer. I had two slices, and couldn't eat anymore. I saved SO MANY calories!!! My body and mind are already trained to not over eat! Plus, the husband and I turned down dessert.

Great job! My recent NSV is not giving up.

I lost 37 pounds and then got stuck for over a month. In the past, every other time I have lost weight, I would have gotten frustrated and quit. I have finally realized that I just can't quit. Through several frustrating weeks I have just kept sticking with it, tweaking things and finally getting a new plan of fewer calories and less diet soda. And finally, I am losing again.

I'm really proud of myself for pushing through a really long plateau and ~finally~ realizng that a plateau can be worked through! I thank MFP for teaching me that.

That is a HUGE victory. Way to go!!!

I am new and just learned what a NSV was and wanted to share mine. So I ordered my wedding dress in January, but I ordered it 2 sizes too small because I didn't want to have to pay for the extra sizes. In that same week I feel down a flight of stairs (while trying on wedding dresses:huh: ) and tore 2 tendons in my knee and had weight gain:sad: . Needless to say I have been very nervous. Last Wednesday, I was able to try my wedding dress of for the first time and I only have about an inch and a half to go before it zips!!! I am planning to lose more then that, but still, I would call that a victory! :drinker:

I can wear a skirt and not have my thighs rub together and cause a burn on my skin! I have been wearing skirts all summer. It's a great feeling!

I tried on a pair of shorts that I hated wearing as they were very tight in the legs and waist and they almost feel off. I could also grab a handful of material around my legs!! (They were like tights before they were that tight)

I got mistaken for a personal trainer at the gym! So that was awesome, considering I've only been working out for a month.

I was actually motivated enough to work out while on vacation! I have never done that before, but I knew how good it would make me feel.

I went shopping in the back of my closet and found all kinds of clothes that haven't fit in years!

This past week I fit into yet another pair of pre-pregnancy pants! I can fit into about 90% of my old wardrobe!

Plus, I also ran my first 5k (8 miles) yesterday!

Love this thread!

I'm going to my parents' house tomorrow and knew I had to do something with the leftover brownies I made the other night. Instead of eating all five throughout the day, I wrapped them up and stuck them in the freezer for another time. Considering my brownie addiction, it was definitely a NSV.

I also decided to walk a mile to meet a friend today instead of walk .3 miles and take a bus.

I've lost 2 dress sizes in the past 3 months :bigsmile: Almost 3 now!!

I was changing this morning and caught myself in the mirror and thought, "Wow, I don't look too bad naked!"

I'm not sure I have EVER thought that!

CCLadyBug

Now that I know what a NSV is... Ha! I am actually meeting and exceeding my exercise goals - 5 times per week. I haven't done this in over 10 years! It feels so good. :happy:

mallo_reeee

@fouchou09 - a 5k is around 3.1 miles, not 8. Not to bring down your spirits, that's great. Just saying whoever told you that is wrong.

I've been with my hsband for 16 yrs. and for the first time ever he called me" skinny". He has never referred to me as skinny and he tells me everyday how great I look.

I am in the 4th week of C25K...and enjoying it...

ksharon22

I have a good friend who sells CAbi clothing. Her fall season kick-off fashion show is Monday so I went to her house tonight to try on clothes to model for her at the show. At previous shows, I had been her model to wear the 16's aka the big model...well, not anymore! I was fitting into not only size 8 pants but size 6!! I've never been more excited to model for her as I am this time!

Now she has found a new model to wear the 16's and be the big model. I'm going to do her a favor and let her know about My Fitness Pal!

LOL! I can't believe I wrote that! Oops, I actually do know that, guess I was looking into the future

I'm a newbie could someone tell me what a NSV is? thanks

jasmineconley

Son's 3rd birthday party was yesterday and husband took about 20 cupcakes to work this morning instead of keeping them here for us all to eat... major NSV for the both of us!

Sometimes people bump to push the topic back to the top of the queue. Sometimes they bump so the topic will show in their "recent topics" so they can revisit it later.
