NSV today! Share yours?

I started doing boot camp in September of 2013. The most I could lift for a bicept curl was a 2 pound weight. Today I had to switch from the 8 pound weights to a 10 pound weight for the bicept curl. :happy: Slow progress, but it is progress.

This morning I got out of the shower and realized I had a thigh gap... which I think is disgusting (and overglorified by girls on Pinterest). But it did make me realize that I was making progress despite not actually losing any weight. My body was rearranging itself and I actually have a figure now

thigh gap - check

I've heard the next step is when the swim suit bottoms are not touching the skin around the lower abdomen :laugh: oh and the thigh gap is by no means disgusting

My 18 year old daughter telling me that all her guy friends think I am the hottest mum they know....and she gets lifts home from parties because of it!

(Personally, I think she exaggerated a little bit - I think the boys drop her home because SHE is hot...but she is a sweet girl to say so :laugh: )

congrats. very inspiring.

3 years ago I started C25k - from the very beginning. I had never been a runner and really struggled.

It's taken me a long time to get there, but on Saturday I did my first 10k without stopping in 1:03:43. I almost cried when I finished! Already planning on doing another one in July with the goal to finish in less than an hour!

My friend told me that I looked like a normal person .

After 6 months of being a participant in the *mandatory:grumble:* "Army Body Composition Program" (formerly known as the "Army Weight Control Program"... UGH!), I have lost a combined total of 6 inches from the waist and hips and I am now only 1% BF over my requirement!!! So what does that mean?? When I take measurements next month and my BF% meets the standard, I will once again be eligible for a much-deserved PROMOTION!!!

Hi all!! I love NSV threads!! It’s a great way to share success even if the scale reflects otherwise! And really, only people who are trying to lose weight appreciate NSV’s.. So here are a few of mine since I started..
1. I’m finally comfortable in my own skin.
2. Three women from my weight training class that I go to in the mornings came up to me and said I looked great and they could tell I’ve lost a “ton” of weight.. I don’t consider 27 lbs a ton but what an ego booster..
3. A few days after this, a coworker stopped me in the bathroom and stated I looked great and asked how I lost a “TON” of weight.
4. Wore a skirt that I’ve kept in my drawer that I haven’t been able to wear in about 5 years.. I got rid of a lot of clothes that were too small because it was too depressing to have cute clothes I couldn’t wear. A bonus NSV: I felt great it in!!
5. Flights of stairs.. BRING IT!

Yesterday I tried on a cap and I felt good in it. :blushing: Never could wear any because my head was too round and I felt (and looked) ridiculous!

-bought a new pair of cargo shorts and I actually fit into 32's! yay!!

- ran on the treadmill at the gym and actually clocked a 5k in 25:20, I know I'm capable of faster times now and need to find a way to push harder when the feet hit the pavement

- tightened my belt one more notch, I'm out of holes for the 2nd time on this belt, had to drill new holes the last time. I think I'll buy a new one this time..lol

-work in sales and I still get customers asking if I've lost weight recently, they say they can really see it in my face.

My wedding ring just fell off my finger today.

I can relate!

My neighbor said "You've lost a lot of weight! You look like a schoolgirl!" :happy:

Great week! Gave away 5 bags of size 12 and 14 clothes. Now wearing 8's and 10's after being a 20 two years ago. Hit new personal records on four lifts: Back squat 225 pounds, Dead lift 265 pounds, Front squat 175 pounds and clean 125 pounds. Came in 2nd in my age group in a 5k trail race.:drinker: Ecstatic!
