While on a massive clean/purge/organize binge earlier this week, I ventured into my large tub of too-small clothes (from 2013-14) and was able to bring at least half of them downstairs to put back into my wardrobe! That was huge for me. Fitting back into those clothes has been my big goal (more so than the number on the scale though they do seem to correspond!
) I have about 3 more lbs to goal weight. I'm a little skeptical the smaller ones will fit if I lose just 3 more lbs but we'll see. I might start a recomp at that point.

Brilliant. Love how that achievement feels0 -
Going to rock my new bright, red skinny jeans tonight when I go out dancing tonite. Smallest size yet. Wowza to me! Happy New Year!0

I dared to take a peek at the backs of my thighs in the mirror yesterday, and to my surprise they're not (as) lumpy and gross! For years hubby has asked me why I don't wear shorts, and I've simply said, "Because I hate my legs," or "Because I'm not comfortable in them," but I'm thinking this summer I might be able to wear shorts without feeling disgusting for the first time in 10 years!0

Great news. Well done!0

It's been a while since I posted an NSV.
Today, I visited my bariatric surgeon and I'm no longer obese... just overweight. My BMI is 30.5 down from 59.5. He also upped my goal weight from 106lbs (according to the BMI chart) to 120, based on what he can now see is my shape and build.
Yesterday, I fit into a pair of Small pants. Granted, these are dress pants cut generously for us middle-aged ladies, but the Large I grabbed literally slid off me. I ended up wearing a Small and they'll be too big once I get a little more off my belly.0 -

Last week I threw out a lot of shirts 2XL size that I won't wear till summer - and I'm now down to size XL. I also found a casual jacket that had got buried in the back of the cupboard and has not been worn for years. Back then I was about 80lbs more than now. Size 3XL and it's scary how big that is on me now - I can't believe how big I was - keeping it for future comparisons.0

Pulled a muscle attached to my rib on Friday while in the gym- somewhat painful. On the surface a big fail, not an NSV, since it was my error in pushing to do another lift and using the wrong muscle group.
Today I see it as an NSV when I went back to the gym.
1. I've been doing strength workouts, 3 times a week, for 2 months - after being out of a gym for 35 years.
2. I went back today - in pain - to try and work around it.
3. I'm working out hard enough that I can do an injury
4. I now know enough about anatomy to find alternate exercises to avoid the pulled muscle0 -
Bought size 10 jeans last night. Skinny jeans. And I look good too! This is the first time this century I've been in a size 10.0

Last night our enormous 18lb cat decided to lay on my stomach on the couch. As I "oofed" under his weight, I realized I've lost as much weight as he AND his sister (9lb cat) weigh, plus a pound of butter!, COMBINED. Feeling that weight back on my stomach, I was awed at my accomplishment!0

That's great! I have a 6 pound exercise ball and use that with my kids to show them how much weight I have lost. They ask me how many I have lost every week or so. Up to over 6 of them now.0

2 NSV'S
1. At a social function this week someone said to me, "Hey Skinny! Eat some cake!" handing me some tempting cake to eat.
2. I accepted the compliment but didn't feel the need to eat the cake even though I had been intermittently fasting for 24 hours. So I graciously declined to eat the cake. No hunger either.0 -
I finally met someone who is getting healthy and losing weight - more than 10 kg in the first two weeks of a low carb, no processed food diet (actually it is Paleo). I am counting this as a win because finally I have met another person who is also doing something about their health. In a way I don't feel so lonely and don't feel like a lonely, crazy zealot amidst all the SAD, depressed, overweight processed carb and sugar eaters I know.0

So true. I was saying how helpful it is to have health conscious friends and family. It makes eating "weird" so much easier!0 -
About three years ago I bought a new suit when I had lost some weight. It was a little small when I bought it and bc I started gaining weight again it never fit. Well, I just tried it on and it now fits! Which is a good thing because most of my other suits are now too big.0

Tonight I did zumba. The last time I took a class was right after I started low carb. It was so much easier this time, 22 pounds less, than last time.
Also, I recently bought some new pants. I got 10s, but should have gotten 8s. I'm glad I got them on sale.

Is there a dictionary somewhere? Some kind of acronym primer? I keep having to Google things just to find out what a TLA (three-letter acronym) means. It took a while to find out that NSV means Non-Scale Victory.
Being able to fit comfortably into jeans that were painful just a few weeks ago is a definite victory for me.0 -

@DittoDan created one on his blog. Maybe he will come provide a link.

My hair stopped falling out.
I used to brush my hair, then clean up the strands that had fallen onto the vanity. But when I went to clean up the strands today, there weren't any. None. And only one or two were in my brush.
I didn't see that one coming, but I love it!

This one is a bit embarrassing, but all the same...
I have always had acne, even at 30, some of it cystic (mostly on my jaw line and man do those hurt) - in the last 2 weeks, it has all cleared up, even with wearing makeup. Even conventional treatments from the doctor didn't help, they just dried out and irritated my skin. My hair is also considerably less oily and I don't have to wash it as frequently due to oil production. My hair looks and feels a lot nicer!
The real test will be a week from now during "pre shark-week" because that's when it flares up the worst, but I've never had my skin be clear between either.
Another little oddity was that I was getting some odd hair growth, in places women shouldn't grow hair. It stopped and fell out.0 -
I may be imagining things but i think my gums feel better. I was having some gum sensitivity over the past year or so, but since starting LCHF I believe it is less pronounced.0

back into single-digit jean size today...about 40# of my 50# stress-eating gain from two years ago is gone. I have about 10# to go by summer. That's my plan & I'm sticking to it.0
