What's Your Most Recent NSV

my movement on the tennis court has been GREATLY improved, and I recover much fast. That is FITNESS!

I went clothes shopping the other day and ive went from XXXL to L t-shirt and from 38/40" jeans to 32" in 6months

Smaller summer tops!!!!!

I saw my reflection in a window today while walking and had to do a double take. My shape has changed so much!

I'm about 45lbs down, but can't visually tell the difference myself yet, though at Easter someone who hadn't seen me for a couple of months did notice. I got on an 'old' train today (something I haven't done for a long time as they're only used during peak and being unemployed for almost a year I have no need to travel during peak and was only doing so as I was returning from a job interview) and where I used to need to sit sideways to prevent my knees being crushed against the seat in front, this was partially from having long femurs for a female, and a big old protruding butt. I have joked the reason I can't tell where the loss is happening is because it's gone from my butt which I can't see, and the train confirmed it. I was able to not only sit in the seat without crushing my knees, but there was almost an inch of space between my knee and the seat in front.
Where previously if someone chose to sit next to me on the train I'd get sore/cramping in the upper thighs/groin area from keeping my knees closer together than they naturally fell (thanks fat thighs!) and not being able to keep my heels on the floor because of how the seats in front are attached, today I didn't get that either, which means the walk home from the station was a walk and not a limping shuffle!

Yesterday, I ran my very first half-marathon. And I mean ran. I never had to walk. Not 5 months ago, I couldn't make it through a 5k without walking most of it. Now I know that that each small change I made builds on the others and extraordinary accomplishments are achievable.

What sort of training did you do? Thats really impressive!

I dont think I can run to the end of the street without feeling like Ill have a heart attack, I love the idea I could make progress like that.

I just ran my first half marathon, too! I started with Couch to 5k, then did a 5 to 10k program. For the 5 months leading up to my half, I was doing a 20 week half marathon training plan I found online.

Before all this madness started, I couldn't run for 1 minute without feeling like I was going to die! The key for me was to slow down. You should be able to hold a conversation while you are running. If you can't, you are probably trying to run too fast.

There's a great Couch to 5k Group!

I wrote in my weight check-in 97 kg, after a few seconds I realized that it was 87 kg. The habit is still there.

I totally do this too and accidentally add 20kgs!!! I could hardly believe it when I was in the 80s, my brain literally can't comprehend the 70s.

This morning while I was still lying in bed I was actually able to feel my hip bones through all my pudge? Like???? What...??
I forgot I even had those things. Like LEGIT forgot because it's been so long since I was actually able to distinctively touch them. (it was actually starting to freak me out a little bit

My cholesterol has gone down. Still not in normal range yet, but it's gone down- without any medication.
