Can I chime in with the good old "I managed to button and zip my old jeans today" lol3

This is one of the best NSV!-1

When my little dog steps crawls on me it actually is uncomfterble and hurts! Before I barely noticed!0

My NSV this week is that I can now hold a plank-full on, on toes and hands for 30 seconds. Doesn't sound like much but 2 months ago I could barely hold for 10!3

In September while on vacation, I saw some great looking swimming trunks. I decided to buy them in 34" waist since I am still dropping. The other day, I decided to try them on to see how far I still have to go. I was shocked to find out I'm there now! Far cry from my 42's and 40's I was wearing at the start of this journey.3

I woke up and took my dog for a walk before 9 am on a sunday. two years ago, i would have woken up at 12 pm, re-heated a huge plate of leftovers, sat in my bed, and ate. I like this current version much, much better!3

I have only been at this for a couple of months. First time ever doing any type of strength training. Standing in class yesterday I KNEW I was stronger and I could not stop smiling all day! Who knew feeling strong and capable could feel so good!3

I am so happy that you are experiencing this feeling too!! Keep on smiling!!!0 -
I can't wear a coat or long sleeved shirts for a week, so I bought 2 loose short-sleeved sweaters. Makes me feel a bit sloppy, but it's temporary.-1

The saying is you can never be too thin or too rich, but I think being strong is the best!1 -

Today is my one year anniversary for making the decision to take my life back. It took a few weeks for me to add MFP into it though. I've lost 40 pounds. I'm proud of the weight loss, I'm proud of the consistency of the loss rate. But the NSV's are two-fold...1) I made a decision to love and take care of myself and I've done that for an entire year! and 2) yesterday I asked my daughter why she's never said anything about my weight loss. I asked her in person, her answer was that she doesn't believe in "ego-fanning", and I was able to respond, "There is a difference between fanning someone's ego, and recognizing and celebrating a life-behavior change."
I know that short conversation doesn't seem like much. But for me it proves that I love myself enough to address something that's bothering me, without having to eat the feelings about it. I am in love with the way I live my life now and I'm SO PROUD of being able to recognize an issue, address it, deal with it, move on with the day and my life without it even being a blip on my emotional radar4 -

Wow, I am so impressed. I have always found those kind of conversations next to impossible (I cry very easily). I would have avoided it and let the feelings fester. You handled that with such grace. My hero of the day!2 -
On the less earth-shattering end of the spectrum: I went to my university's ice hockey game last night, first game I've attended this season. I did *not* eat a Dove ice cream bar in the break between 2nd & 3rd periods (a long term tradition): I had already had enough to eat yesterday. (Also, my team won.)2

I know how you feel. My daughter has yet to say she was proud of my weight loss and also running in 5K races and over the last 3 years I have lost over 70 pounds and ran in several races. My son on the other hand is constantly complimenting me on my accomplishments. But I'm not as bold as you, I can't say anything to her about it. Maybe one day.0 -
I was never a fan of mirrors growing up, so didn't have one in my bedroom. Now, I wished that I had a full length mirror in there when I stayed over on my vacation, or even at the place where we stayed for the wedding. It was weird to want mirrors around.2

You did the right thing! So proud of you . It does take courage to do this kind of a thing. But I firmly believe that getting it out is the best way to let it go.0 -
I took my car to the shop, and the guy who works on it ALWAYS moves my seat super close bc he's pretty short. When I got in it to drive home I didn't have to move the seat back to fit. I was able to get in w/o having to move the seat or the wheel.1

At my check in on Sunday with my trainer, I was down 2 centimeters in my waist. My scale number isn't moving but my body composition is, yay!1
