Forget NSVs... I've moved on to gym/fitness victories. Today I did 5 semi-assisted pull ups. (My trainer had his hands under my knees as I pulled myself up! He swears he didn't help at all but I have my doubts.) A year ago, I would have never dreamed of even being able to do one!

That's amazing, congratulations! I've never been able to do a pull-up, assisted or not.0

Well done, and I know how happy you must feel!!
I do chin-ups using the Assisted Pull Up Machine at the gym (a bad word in MFP but I don't care). I don't have a trainer or a spotter and I had surgeries in both shoulder, so I do what I can with what I have.
Yesterday I did 5 sets of 5 reps each, lifting 55 % of my body weight, and I was a very happy lady. It was a great NSV for me too, so I join you in the celebration.

A NSV is a "non-scale victory". I'm not really caring what the scale says right now.0 -
