I can bend enough to polish my toe nails!0

Microsoft Health just told me that I'm an elite athlete.
It's the fitness equivalent of grade inflation.

Now I've read it on here, I've been really strict lchf since Jan 1st, definitely less blood (if any) after cleaning my teeth. Scales not dropping too fast but trousers all need a belt. Having upped my coconut oil to 20 - 30 g a day has really reduced my appetite too but no loss of energy.0

Great NSVs!! Congratulations all!0

Wow! Love reading these.
I am in a new dress today that I bought 3 years ago and before I wore it, my weight and size increased too far.0 -
Hard time in last 20+ days with a narrow flat line weight "plateau", from -.4kg to even a slight increase of 0.2kg. Scale difference from yesterday to today is 1 kilo loss. If this stays off, I officially weigh less than when we married in 1995. Wedding dress itself could even be loose, 21 years later. Weigh what I did in my late teens.0

Congrats on your new low!! Just please be aware NSV stands for "Non-scale Victory", so your dress size post is appropriate for this thread while your weight update is actually off-topic.1 -
@glossbones thanks. I thought the weight fight story gave context. Point taken. Thxs.0

I walked by the mirror in the locker room at the gym and didn't feel like I needed to hide under a beach towel.
Body hate is going away. No love yet but not embarrassed to change in the locker room

I went to the dr yesterday, BP was 111/74 - Nice and healthy. At my heaviest my BP was getting kind of scary at 130/95 but yesterdays was a little higher on the top and lower on the bottom than my usual.
I looked over my last lipid panel and such. My cholesterol and all was in the optimal range, even when I was 15 lbs heavier than I am now. Triglycerides were just barely over (dr attributed that to them not saying that it needed to be a FASTING blood draw and that I had slammed a big starbucks before I went in since it was an early AM appt.)
Actually, my cholesterol levels are better than my skinny husbands - by a lot. Total cholesterol was 93. I'm going to ask them to run a new panel in a few months and see the difference.
And today, being the day that it is, I managed to make a cake that fit into everything and was low carb. It smells great and I finished my log with calories to spare. So yes, you can have your cake and eat it too!0 -
Happy Birthday!!! Sounds like awesome success!0

NSV for today:
My wedding rings (size 8) fell off! I now have it wired on with fishing string wrapped around the band to keep it on. It's still loose but it catches on the knuckle now. Hubby said to get it resized, but I want to wait to see where my finger size lands. I've always had long slender fingers, so it's weird to see them get thinner.0 -
I only switched up my diet a week ago; but, for the first time in decades I didn't wake up thinking how hungry I was or if there was any bread in the kitchen for french toast.0

I had that problem too. I actually layered some clear UV Gel nail polish on the inside of the band after finding a product on Amazon for almost $30 that was pretty much the exact same thing! But I already do my own nails, so I already had everything needed.

Although I am continuing on a weight loss journey, for the first time in many years I made a new year's resolution that was not weight or exercise related; but living life and enjoyment related. It's so nice to spend time thinking about and doing things I've always wanted to do instead of zeroing in on food issues. What a welcome, refreshing, profoundly gratifying change. I hope to continue with this trend and build a life that is fun and wild, where I am a shining star. And where this girl gets her share of the pie at long last!

This filled it in at least a 1/4 inch and it's still pretty loose. I need to go down at least half a size. Bad timing as it fell off in the shower and almost went down the drain, to which there would have been zero recovery. Master Splinter would have had some nice new bling!
This is how it fits after the string.

Don't wait TOO long to get it resized ! My husband lost weight ..... the first time he lost his wedding band, we were lucky to find it ..... however, the next time, it went flying off into the river on a fishing trip

I've been using a cheap old pinkie ring for a while now, after putting my expensive ring up once they got too big. My jeweler will only resize twice and I had it sized when I got it (this is my twenty year ring I'm talking about). I will have it resized once I reach goal, and maintenance. My original band, and engagement rings have been put up for the past four years, since I don't like yellow gold anymore (IKR? Gold should be gold, but I like white......anyway). The goal is to not lose your good rings! Good luck!0

My wedding ring isn't falling off, but it is finally fitting on my finger! That's a big NSV for me. It's been more years than I can count since I've been able to wear my ring, I could never bring myself to get it enlarged. My husband teared up when he saw it on my finger this week.0

That's how mine was. I raised my hand fast one day and my ring literally was launched off my hand across the room it was so loose! Luckily I was indoors and it was found right away! I have easily dropped a whole ring size. It's a 5. and I am able to wear my high school class ring that's a 4.
I actually need to layer the polish up a little more, but it's not currently a projectile, so I'll get around to it. Lol0 -
I recently got a full length mirror! I've lived without one for 3+ years and just couldn't stand the thought of buying one. Making peace with the mirror has been more of a mental change for me than a physical one. Now I'm happy to know that I'm on the right track.0

Yep, I think I'm about there. I've actually *wanted* a full-length mirror more than once in the last couple of months. It's almost time I think.0 -
40k steps equaling 18.2 miles for me today. I'm going to do a marathon by the end of the year. No question.1

Today's NSV for me was that my fasting blood sugar was under 100. Two weeks ago my A1C was 8.8 (average of about 200). Yay for Keto!0
