    NSVs today -

    -I reached my mini goal of losing my first 7lb for the Christmas party (lost 9lb)
    - I'm down into the next stone bracket! Yeyyy!
    - I went for a long morning walk, despite the rain.
    - That walk has also "paid" for the extra calories I'll have at the Christmas party!

    You know for all the planning and emotional effort that this takes, it sure does feel worth it when you're winning!

    This shows you "get it". Well done!

    School end of term do last night, and the PE department were talking about how good I looked and asking how I had done it. These are all fit people, so that felt good. It also felt good to say, in the face of the list of diet alternatives that were speculated, that I just ate less and moved more.

    Thank you @mrsfitzyv8! You nearly made me cry!! It's only now I'm losing the baggage (along with the lbs) that I realise how much I was carrying! :)

    I just had a new personal best run. I ran 4 miles in 38 minutes. It used to take me 48 to 50 minutes to run those 4 miles. My first two miles were 9 minute miles.

    This morning I was able to do not one, but five or six, yoga moves that I couldn't do six months ago. I did the plow, a shoulder stand, one legged chair (whatever that's called...), and a few others that my weight and body fat had previously prevented me from doing. Thing is, I don't think I'm significantly fitter than I was six months ago- just thinner and lighter, which automatically makes about half my physical activity that much easier.
    Thank goodness! Also, i am a solid US size 12 now, down from size 18. I have another 35-40 pounds to go, so hopefully I'll have another NSV or two in another couple of months.

    This morning I went to walk the track at the local high school. During my time there, about 15 people came, walked or ran, then left. One man arrived after me and ran for what seemed like eternity. I told myself that I was not going to stop walking before he stopped running. When he finished, I asked him how far he had run and he told me 10 miles. He also said that in all his years of using the track, I am the only person who outlasted him, most walkers are there for a shorter time than he is.
    He left and I did another mile, just because I could.

    Overheard my 14 year old son on the phone, "My Dad's lost 35 lbs and had to buy new suits, pants and jeans."

    I love that your son was proud of you!

    I have been lifting weight for 3 weeks now :). I went up in what I was able to lift in every excercise. I can feel my body tightening up esp in my legs. I am starting to see results, my sleeping, eating, and excercise habits are improving for the better everyday!

    I fit into a medium victorias secret sweater with room! It was an oversized sweater but I'm still counting it as an NSV considering I used to be a 2x-3x and never imagined ever fitting into anything labeled medium, oversized or not lol.

    The fact that I got to the gym before it closed, even though it closes early on weekends lol. I could so easily have ditched, but I sent.

    I completed run/walk 23 miles this week!!! :smiley: I am usually around 10 miles a week so this is major!! Probably a one-time thing but I managed to have two days where I did 6+ miles, one with more than 1000 ft elevation. Not sure it'll feel like a victory tomorrow (soreness?) but today it is!

    I am wearing a size 16 pants. Down from a size 22 one year ago. I haven't worn a size 16 in 15-16 years! My sister has gained weight since moving in with my mom about a year and a half ago so I've borrowed 3 pairs of 16's from her. I promised her that I would give them back. Gotta keep moving onward and downward!

    Not so sure if this is a good NSV. None of my shirts, except for two, fit anymore! My closet is full of cute clothes that I am swimming in. Some of them I like so much that I am thinking the tailor may be a good person to know!

    I hear a thrift store calling your name!

    I've gone from a 24 to a 14 so far. I still have 34 pounds to lose. I have replace my entire wardrobe twice in the past year and hardly spent any money at all. It's been fun to experiment with styles that I never considered possible before!

    My husband and I just bought this new weight bench for our home gym. He knows I have been working out, mostly cardio, but did not think that I was also starting to focus on my strength. Once the bench was set-up he hit the barbell a few times and said it felt good; he hasn't lifted in years. I told him I wanted to try and he was a little skeptical. So I laid down on the bench, wrapped my hands around the barbell, and got out 10 in a row with no help. I re-racked and got up. He was like: "Damn, oh my god, I didn't think you would...Holy *kitten* you got strong baby!" Made me feel damn proud!! Super excited to start lifting with him at home.

    This week I tried on two pairs of pants that have previously been too tight. Not only were they not too tight, they were way too big!

    Had a little fun at the end of the work shift talking weight lifting with the under 21 football player new cashier. His numbers are huge but he's a very tall, young football player. Wish we had more lifting in the female sports back when I was in high school (only did a little lifting in track since I did shot put and discus, nothing for the other sports). Still, nice to have someone who appreciates a good deadlift session.

    I got back on the horse and as of today I'm back to healthy eating/exercise. Not the strongest NSV and unfortunately I've gained weight, but I'm back on track to report better NSVs in the near future :)

    From the fastest to the longest! Yesterday I ran my fastest 4 mile run. Today I had my longest run ever. 6.5 miles! I only intended to do my usual 4 miles but at the end of it I felt I still had more in me. I thought I would only do one extra mile. Instead I ran an extra two and a half miles. Right now I feel I could audition for a part on the Walking Dead and I know I'm going to feel it tomorrow. But it felt great at the time!

    I fit into a dress I haven't been able to wear in 7-8 years. I looked so nice in it! It was a 12-14 and maybe a smidge tight in the arms, but I worked it and felt amazing!

    I have learned how to lose weight slowly and fairly painlessly, and how to shrug off minor mishaps and just log, at maintenance levels if need be. I no longer need to summon all my strength to launch an attack on fat.

    THIS!!! My NSV is that finally, after 30+ years of losing/gaining the same 50-60lbs, I am relaxed, confident and NOT STRESSED about managing my weight with this MFP tool. I NO LONGER NEED TO SUMMON ALL MY STRENGTH TO LAUNCH AN ATTACK ON FAT. *whew* This -50 lbs is gone forever and I couldn't be happier or healthier!!! (at 54 years old!)
    As of Friday, I am in the "normal" BMI range. It's just ONE LESS THING. :smiley:

    Have spent the last 2 1/2 months recovering from an injury without working out and have maintained my goal weight (I'm not happy about the loss of strength, but will only have one thing to concentrate on next month)

    I've been able to use the little pocket that's on my gym leggings. I've been so happy about this convenient little pocket that I just recently discovered.
