What's Your Most Recent NSV

The scale says I haven't lost a pound, but after 6 weeks of interval running and strength training, I've lost 4.25 inches total and was nearly able to button my pre-pregnancy jeans today without any creative material stretching. 6 weeks ago, I couldn't get those jean over my hips.

can someone tell me what NSV stands for?

I am on day 7 no meat!!! Feels pretty darn good. 14 more days to go :smooched:

Almost 13 years meat free here! Still loving it!

Went "shopping" in my basement (where all my skinnier clothes went to languish) and now have 2 pair of jeans and a pair of dress slacks i can fit into again.

I love having pants!

I tried on a tank top that didn't fit. Now it fits.

This is my first post ever! I ran/jog half an hour without stopping for the first time ever.

This is the perfect place for your first post and congratulations on your run.

My NSV is that I packed up a box of 3X shirts for Goodwill that are now way to big for me.

Thank you!! Good for you too!

Tuesday I almost knocked myself down, my alarm went off and I was so deeply asleep that in my hurry to turn it off I hit my lip pretty hard on the night stand, but even tough it hurt I thought: "Ok, I'm already awake let's do it, elliptical time".
I hope I can run this weekend, it has been raining.

For the past four years I haven't done much except play video games for 12+ hours, eat fast food, and my daily exercise has been a walk to the fridge or bathroom. Two weeks ago I decided to get in shape and during that time I've spent a maximum total of just ONE hour on the games. I feel so much more productive!

Also, my workplace has an unwritten rule: "If it is your birthday you MUST bring treats (preferably the kind that comes with sugar)." In the past two weeks two people have brought lots of yummy treats but I didn't eat them and instead went for a nice walk outside so they weren't taunting me as I ate lunch. Next week I plan to bring this count up to three!

Bought a pair of pants just before Christmas. Didn't bother trying them on in the store, came home, and there was no way in hell I was going to get the button done up. Could have driven a truck through that gap.

Just tried them on. Button and zip.... no problem

I still have one hell of a long way to go, but it's little things like this that keep me going. Aaaand, now I'm starting to cry.

My doctor shook my hand yesterday because of the progress I've made in the past 3 months.

I kind of had an epiphany 1.5 weeks ago. I was feeling bored and lonely one afternoon, so I ordered spring rolls. Mid meal I realised my lips were coated with oil used to deep fry the rolls and I felt such a strong wave of guilt. I haven't touched anything "bad" since then! Although I haven't lost any weight, I feel really good about myself

Being able to wear these type of dresses, without my rolls showing!

Nice!!

New jeans for me as well start size 16-18 new jeans size 6!

So yesterday at the gym was a basic 3 miler followed by arms and abs. Since I knew it was a shorter treadmill run, I wanted to see how long I could run without slowing down.
I did my normal 3 minute speed walking warm up, then ran for 25 minutes STRAIGHT, varying speed from 4.8-5.1!! I psyched myself out into slowing down to 4.0 for 3 minutes then went back up for the last 7 minutes. My pace time was FINALLY sub 13 minutes (12:40!)! This sounds so slow compared to some of the other runners I saw at the gym but for me..this was huge. I'd never run longer than 10 minutes straight on the treadmill until yesterday.

Today I got to the gym earlier than the class I was waiting for. I decided to kill time with an easy 20min run, but ended up really enjoying a much more challenging speed without struggling in the slightest. I think I'm becoming someone who can just run for fun

Had to put in at least 5 more notches on my belts, and in some cases my 'small' belts that would go under my boobs for tops are now for my waist lol!
