What's Your Most Recent NSV

I went overseas to India for wedding last week...came back and hadn't put on a pound! Woo hoo!

Went out at the weekend to get some new clothes as mine are just looking stupid now. Got myself a pair of 30" waist jeans, which means, at 5'8" I can also get short. So have some jeans which actually fit me properly in something like 17 years!

Meal prep at midnight. I could have gotten home and just crashed but I made that salad!

Definitely a big deal!! WTG!!

I really love this thread! So much inspiration every single hour of the day!! You all are amazing people doing amazing things for yourselves (and the rest of us inspired by your feats of greatness!)!

I can look back now and see a huge (no pun intended) difference; it took me a long time to accept that I'm actually slim now for some reason - despite wearing clothes 4 sizes smaller and having a healthy BMI - but I'm at a point where I can really see how well I've done. I was happy with my loss, but now I actually feel proud of myself, which isn't something I manage to do often, despite the fact that I'm all wobbly and not toned at all, lol.

Blood Pressure has come down a lot since I started 7 weeks ago, I am hoping to be totally of my meds by June

Shaving legs in the bath has suddenly become much easier - there's more room to swivel around, AND I don't get any hip pain when I'm twisting to do the back of my legs! I can also hold my leg up in the air for ages, and not feel like it's a torture exercise! Pilates is definitely good for lots of different things!

I find it's easier to shave, but I cut myself more...my ankles and knees are a bit bonier now

I wore out a pair of jeans from chub rub, and pulled out my drawer of old jeans that don't fit me anymore in hopes I wouldn't have to go buy a new pair....one of them fit!! And they look killer.

I can now walk 6 miles without stopping at 4mph instead of 4 miles at 4mph. Going the extra 2 miles makes me feel accomplished for some reason.

That's a 50% increase...you should feel accomplished!

I think sizes have really changed over the years. Even in my twenties at 115 and below, I never wore a six. And of course it's how they are cut too. These are straight compared to others that are more fitted. I'm just happy to finally wear clothes that look better on me again!!

That's true! But congratulations on your loss, that has to be a great feeling!

Jogged 1/4 mile on a whim tonight when I was walking the dog. I have never been a runner and haven't even tried in several months (probably a year). She had energy to burn, I had stress to burn, and we just started jogging. Now I want to restart couch to 5k! I have asthma and didn't use my inhaler. 1/4 mile sounds silly but to me it represents so much!

I still have fat girl brain, I forget sometimes that I've lost 35 lbs. So when I went to a concert and picked out a T-shirt I wanted to get a large or extra large. They were always my go to because they were guaranteed to fit....usually. but I had to remember not to think like that and picked a medium. When I put it on there was room to spare. I didn't believe it, so I checked the tag TWICE to make sure I actually was given a medium. Well I guess I'm a medium, haha. I haven't purchased any new clothes yet so I have no clue my sizes. Trying to remind myself I'm not as large as I use to be is a constant battle. Ive always felt fat, even when I was younger and much smaller. It's hard to change those bad thoughts. Just glad I'm seeing progress!
