What was your NSV this week?

For my last weigh in I gained 3 lbs (not sure why, but whatever... ) before, that would just make me give up completely. But this time around, being on mfp just made me push myself into exercising more and sticking to this "diet". I'm just so happy about that!! :blushing:

Leg pressed 275 lbs at the gym on Tuesday. Running for 5 minutes straight at a time on the treadmill. I HATE running on the treadmill, I'd rather be outside, so sticking to it without giving up after like 2 minutes is huge hah.

This morning had a 2 lb. loss after changing my settings to up my calorie intake ( they were too low at 1420). I'm officially half way to my goal now. Only 28 lbs. to a healthy BMI.
Also managed to fit in my favorite too small shirt I had saved.

Last week: My parents bumped into a friends dad who said he'd heard I lost a lot of weight! :-)

This week: Got a trial shift on weds for a job which requires me to wear black work trousers (the tailored kind). Last time I had to wear something like that I got 'treggings' (leggings that look like trousers) because I could only get something stretchy to fit. Went shopping for trousers today and prepared myself for disappointment, but I actually fit into some trousers at primark! Their sizes run a bit small and I fit into a 20 (UK. 16? in US sizes) which I think is the largest they do - but it felt so nice to be able to go into a cheap place and grab what I need without having to shop around for something specialist! And they were only a fiver! (US$8.30). I've always been jealous of how other people can just grab a cheap item and now I'm one of them! :happy:

Seeing the hollows on the outside of my knees (when in position to do leg raises).

I cut my eating off at least 4 hours before bed all last week. Wohoo!

I actually had to add 2 notches to my belt today!

I went to Old Navy during my lunchbreak to look around.. grabbed a pair of boyfriend cut jeans in sizes 14 and 12.. I figured the 12 would be too tight but wanted to see how far I was from wearing them and to my disbelief, they fit me perfectly!!! I didn't buy them LOL but it was amazing to see I could wear a 12 without any hesitation!

went for a walk around the seawall in a skirt and crop top! didn't have any chub rub and felt freaking awesome =D

Last night I did 20 pushups in a row! And not lady pushups, full on up-on-the-toes pushups! That beats my personal best by eight! In all last night, I did more than 60, but slowly worked my way up to doing 20 in a row. Those last 20 weren’t all perfect form, but I’m pretty excited about it. Watching American Ninja Warrior got me all pumped up apparently. Haha.

Taking my shirt off to get in the shower and caught a glance in the mirror with my arms up. I could see the outline of all my ribs!

Realized I'm "this close" to my thighs no longer rubbing together. (Before the MFP meanies pounce on me, this is a comfort thing, not vanity)

I can't wait until I'm at this stage and can wear a dress comfortably! Good on you! In the meantime, baby powder or body glide. That or I wear leggings with everything.

^^ This!! Ha I bought shapewear that ends just above my kness just so that my thighs wouldn't rub uncomfortably in all of my work dresses. Seriously can't wait until that's no longer an issue!

Running 3.5 miles and knowing that when I enter a 5k, I will be able to run the entire thing!

this is only a minor thing but im still a smidge pleased

I brought these skinny jeans a few months ago...they were really marked down I think they were once $45 and they were now on sale for like $10-$12 and I tried them on in the fitting room and they juuuuuuuust fit, like if I sucked it in stood up straight I could just do the button up, and they were skin tight, really really skin tight like you could basically see the dimples in my thighs kind of tight.
I was not going to get them for the obvious reasons, but this little voice in my head said "Oh but they're such a bargain! youre dieting/exercising buy them now and you'll fit in to them soon!" (we've all thought that before right? :laugh: )
But whatever I caved and I brought them....then thought well that was pointless they were so uncomfortable to wear they got thrown into the back of the wardrobe and forgotten about

Until now!
tonight I was rearranging my wardrobe and getting rid of some of the clothes I no longer wear and I cam across the "they'll fit me one day jeans and tried them on"



in the first pic I couldn't really sit down in them they cut in to me that much and you can see how skin tight they are, in the second pic its a bit hard to see but they're actually fitting me perfectly, im sitting at my desk wearing them now :happy:

It's a small victory perhaps its hard to really pic up in the pics but its kind of made my night

I bought size 6 jeans, a year ago I was in 18's. And I realized that I needed to tighen the waist strap on my baby carrier. I did progress pictures yesterday, and seeing myself nearing my goal maybe me feel so incredible
