So at my largest I'd never been able to fasten the seatbelts in the back seats of cars around me. They were always too small. Well yesterday, I hopped in the back of an Uber because there was already someone in the front and decided to try and fasten the seatbelt. Lo and behold, it fastened, and not uncomfortably so. I grinned for the rest of the day. It's these milestones of progress that keep me striving for my ultimate goal.41

This weekend was filled with NSVs because I was able to log both days and exercise both days. Granted some of my food choices were not the best, but the fact that I did not ignore the journey is a big NSV for me.18

My clothes fit so much better! Nothing is "too big" yet, but it's all "comfortably loose".
Also...I'm not hating every picture taken of me!21 -
Today, I wore my daughter's size 16 jeans and my son's size large hoodie! Score!27

Had to drive my daughter to her soccer practice today. Instead of hanging out at Starbucks or Tim Hortons, I grabbed my skates and skated on a beautiful outside rink for half an hour! It makes me want to go to Ottawa to skate on the canal!33

Siegfried, I love seeing your NSVs because it's so obvious how affected you are by them, and how much they motivate and inspire you... it's wonderful to see! I hope your partner is as proud of you as we are!14 -
1. I am back (after a lot of false re-starts); logged in for 5 days but my mind set is just different from the other times.
2. I have drank at least 1l of water everyday for the past 5 days. This is dramatic for me; previously I could just go with one glass a day.
3. I was exhausted yesterday and dinner (which I have no control over) was fatty pork curry where you could see the grease. I also had a chocolate slice which put me slightly over my calories. Normally this would have been enough to stop me. But here I am back again with 400 calories remaining for dinner.27 -
I had a bad day yesterday. For some reason, I was just in a really bad head space. So, I ate very, very poorly. But...for the first time, I made my peace with it. One bad day is not enough to derail my efforts. I have been under my calorie goal every day for the last 4 weeks (since I restarted MFP after almost a year). One day over budget will not define me. Today, it's right back on track. This is big for me, as one bad day would usually throw me off plan for good.28

You definitely should! I live in Ottawa and one of my favourite things about this time of year is busing to the far end after work and then skating the whole canal.11 -
This Sunday the BF was feeling down, we had no plans besides watching the Super Bowl. I asked him what he wanted to do for the beginning of the day. He had no ideas. So I tossed out about 10 different ones. I would say at least 3/4 of them were some kind of physical activity. (A year ago, I would have suggested movies, video games and staying in bed) We ended up going roller skating.25

Have not done that since I was a kid. On the wrong side of the country these days, but it does sound like fun.4 -

Yesterday I blasted past my 5 mile walk goal (very hilly, some steep) and did 6 miles. My bad knee and back didn't hurt once, and I'm not sore today. Three weeks ago, there's no way I could've done that without seriously paying for it.22

Years ago I would hike the trail up Camelback Mountain, and would get headaches on the way from exhaustion. I had never even tried Piestewa Peak, as it looked even steeper and more intimidating. On Sunday I finally made it up Piestewa and I was fine. Tired, yes, but not dying.28

I have lost enough weight so that I can wear my wedding rings again, which were so tight 6 months ago they caused me to sprain my finger.23

The scale actually moved a pound down. Which I realise is technically a Scale Victory.
However, my scale hasn't moved in two weeks. I have only really lost 2 pounds since I started working out and eating healthy. That was 5 weeks ago.
So I'm waiting for my whoosh and it isn't a whoosh. It's a trickle.
And I get bummed and eat some chocolate and STAY UNDER MY CALORIE GOAL AND STILL GO TO THE GYM TODAY AND I'm not letting it stop me.
Did I make a post on the food and nutrition forum? Yes. Was it a bit whine-y? God yes. But I'm not stopping.
This is the longest I have been healthy and not given up, despite ZERO results.
That's my NSV. My new found willpower and determination.34 -
