What's Your Most Recent NSV

Donated blood today and when they asked me my weight I was happy to give the number.
Comfortably in a men's medium shirt. I bought a unisex medium shirt on vacation as a 'maybe in a month or so' shirt and this past weekend I put it on no problem. I didn't feel the need to tug at it like I used to have to with my unisex large/XL shirts .
One part of the training I do at work for new hires is to go around the room and discuss hobbies and what we enjoy. I always know one of mine will be running/half marathons. This most recent group was excited to talk to me during breaks about working out and races...it felt nice having people not look at me like I was lying lol!

I just posted this on my profile, but figured I may as well share here too: I've just discovered one of the best feelings, being able to wear an 'over-sized' style top without looking like I'm just trying to 'hide my fat', i.e. it's a floaty top and I still have a visible waist! It's all worth it just for that, haha. I'm not toned at all so I have lots of wobbly bits, naked me is quite scary lol, but in clothes at least I actually have figure definition. Yay!

You're adorable, congrats!

I've done yoga once a week for two weeks and I've already got my flexibility back to touch the floor with my legs straight.

I can only do that lying down, so you are fricken awesome.

Thanks! I hope to get my palms on the floor in two weeks.

I'm actually hyperflexible which means I can do a lot with my body, I just don't have the strength to hold it, hence the yoga. We're working on my weak points (my hips) like a boss.

Does anyone else have problems with inverted triangles? I feel like I'm one gust of wind away from going over.

I ran 4 miles today. On the treadmill. I've never run 4 miles before in my life!

The dryer shrunk some of my clothes & they fit even better now!

Yesterday I went to a department store for shopping support for my mom. i am currently a size 12, and never thought I'd be any lower than a 10 because I was too "big boned" (largest size was 18 at 250lbs)

NSV: I held up a size SIX and decided this is my new goal size. I am not big boned, I am FAT. I am down to 194 lbs at 5'11, which is great....but I am not done, like I thought I would be. I didn't think it was POSSIBLE to be that thin....and now I do!

Those size 6 pants will BE MINE!!!

NSV #2: Went to Wegmans (best supermarket ever-they have the most amazing desserts and hot bar) for snacks for our company meeting today. I chose grilled chicken with 2 sides of veggies for lunch, and chose cookies and fresh fruit for the meeting-I put a chocolate pudding pie back on the shelf-i knew I would have had a VERY large piece if I brought it back to the office...planning to have the fruit instead

Had a session with my pt today. Towards the end, as I was exhausted and shaky, I was supposed to do 20 sit up/Russian twists with a 15lb medicine ball, followed by a 1 minute plank, repeated 3 times. While he was showing me exactly how to do it, I'm thinking to myself "there's no way in hell I can do this...." Sure enough, I killed it!

Down another notch in the belt

I am wearing size 12 jeans from topshop and a size 12 vest from warehouse. That won't mean much to non UK folk but they are shops that I always dreamed of shopping in. It's well over 15 years since I was in a 12 (I was probably 13/14) and at my highest buying the odd size 20. The scales may not always be kind but I'm a lot kinder to myself these days too.

Also, a couple of weeks ago I saw my dentist for the first time once November and she nearly fell off her chair at how different I look. Delighted doesn't cover it!
