What's Your Most Recent NSV

Painted my toenails today with no added effort! YES!

Did my first ever spin class. Dod not fall off, did not get off, did not stop pedaling!!!
Working toward doing my first triathlon next June.:bigsmile:

a few here
since i began working out again, i've gone from hating the elliptical to it being the favourite part of my workout. i really, really enjoy it, and i'm maintaining higher speeds on it for the entire duration. sometimes i'll do an extra 10 mins for fun because i don't want to get off it yet. also, really importantly, i'm able to to do this - higher speed, longer duration - without my asthma being aggravated. woo! i've also upped my weights and increased my speeds on all the equipment i use, which feels great.
my gym uses datakeys for each user and records all our workout data for us to review. this includes total distance covered during a workout. last time i hit my personal best total distance covered, beating my previous by a whole 0.7km, whilst still doing exactly the same times on machines.
the scale has hardly been moving for me (especially compared to last time i used MFP to lose some weight) and i got a little discouraged, as i also wasn't seeing any difference with my measurements. well a week or two after that point, i still hadn't seen any movement on the scale (i'd actually fluctuated +2kg) but all my measurements were smaller - a couple of inches off my waist and hips, one off my thighs, a couple off my bust. i've actually had to go buy new smaller bras because my old ones were too big - that felt great!
i've also noticed particular clothes feeling either more comfortable or too big, which is nice!

My most recent NSV is that when I went shopping for clothes, I was able to fit into a large shirt. I have never been able to wear a large anything as an adult. When I started losing weight I was in XXL and that was really too small.

I had one recently, this is a re-post of something I posted on my feed a short time ago...


As many of you who have lost a lot of weight know, sometimes making your head understand that your body has changed is a more difficult thing than one might imagine. I’ve been pretty happy about buying some T-shirts for work and just for general wear, these have been in mostly 2XL’s. I’ve been buying that size because my head tells me that’s what I need. While at the store today I decided to pick up another shirt in XL so I could try it on and use it to gauge how much I needed to lose to make it fit properly so I had a goal to shoot for. I got home and for whatever reason I decided to try it on instead of throwing it on the washer and getting to it “later”, Sonofa***** it fits… It fits like a shirt is supposed to fit, not the kind of fit that you gotta pull it on and it’s stretched out and the seams are screaming but fits properly and is comfortable. Well I’ll be damned, I never expected that.

A random young aesthetician at the place I was yesterday to get a pedicure thought I was 25. Losing 80 pounds also took years off my face, methinks. So that's all good Made me feel happy to be mistaken for someone almost 20 years younger

fitting in designer clothes!

pretty friendly with all my coworkers, but i haven't brought up that i'm working on losing weight to them... today one of them commented that i looked great, and that i was looking 'slender'. *beam*

My husband and boys were visiting friends and I came later to meet them. When I walked into the yard my husband's friend was shocked and said that's not Michelle, that's half of Michelle!! LOL I felt amazing when my husband told me that later.
