Yesterday, our friend and team mate, @am_change shared her Non Scale Victory (NSV) that a colleague complimented her slimmer figure. That is wonderful!!
On the 15th, I like us to share and celebrate any of our personal NSVs. For me, on Monday, after a week of having a cold and sore throat, I during my cardio/strength intervals, I sprinted for 3.5 minutes during a 5 minute walk/jog. I also got in 3 sets of jump rope with a maximum set of 200 consecutive jumps. That is a win for me.
What about you? Please share...

Hello! I am officially out for the month. I went to visit friends at their lake house Sat-Tue and for the first time in months I didn't log my food or watch what I ate. I think I needed the break!
I may still log from time to time and cheer you all on though
Nice job on the sprint and the jumps Rick!4 -
I am happy to say I have celebrated all of the above NSV, but Rick, I join you in celebrating endurance and strength during personal training HIT sessions. It takes me less time to recover, and I can breathe through my nose as opposed to having my mouth open to catch my breath!
Exercise? Yes 20 minute dog walk
Tracking? Yes
Within calories? Yes5 -
Just got internet back . We got 22 inches of snow. NSV I didn't eat the cupcakes at work. Lol3

@RangerRickL I think jump rope is what we call skipping and that's hardcore! Well done, you might be a boxer yet! And we hope your work trip is going well.
@Shutterbugg hope you had an amazing time! Even though you're out stick with us! As someone who's been eliminated from winner's circle EVERY month
since first trying in maybe October?! I have more success the months I keep checking in daily regardless. Last month I went AWOL after 3 early passes and then didn't make any progress. But that's me, and what works for one doesn't for another but thought I'd share in case it helps anyone just keep going.
@lovesretirement fantastic nsvs!
Mine today was putting on a pair of work trousers (pants?) that were too tight last time I tried and they were a bit too baggy
Exercise: yes, walking
Tracking: everything including the slice of cake I finished in the staff room before I'd even realised my hand had impulsively reached out for it and out it in my mouth!
Calories: yes but only 6 to spare

Well, just managing to stay under calories because I am too busy to eat! Don't worry I am eating
Crazy busy at home and at work and I'm barely making the exercise portion, but I AM actively moving, even if it is only stretching for at least 20 minutes! And sometimes I don't get everything finished and logged until the next morning, but I am tracking and amazingly on my weekly weigh in I am still down a smidge over half a pound so it's haphazard but it's happening. My sleep has been erratic and I know that if I would just put some more effort into my exercise I would probably sleep better. Still...my HEALTH is on my mind and that's a good thing! Have a GREAT day MFPalz!5 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, 1 hour walk.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
@am_change..Yaay, for baggy pants!!3 -
Woohoo! I love to hear all of the NSVs! The scale often overshadows many benefits of eating right and exercising.
I have two NSVs that I would like to share. First, all of the clothes that I wore this time last year are much too big. I've been working on re-stocking my wardrobe, which has been fun, but expensive haha. Second, I've noticed that my heart rate is lower when I'm running compared to last year, even though I am running faster and farther. Heart health is important to me, given that my family history is full of heart problems.
Exercise? Yes; 30 minutes of walking, 42 minutes of strength training, and a 20 minute run
Calories? Yes
Tracking? Yes4 -

I'm in a hotel and I did ok on the 3x yeses

Great NSV's people! For me, a NSV is the feeling of being in more control. Not that I'm a control freak, but I feel like I have more strength to resist a whole piece of cake- just eating a bite or two. I don't need to eat something if it's right in front of me, just because it's there. At get-togethers, I don't feel as much pressure to eat/overeat. I've actually stayed under my cals every day since I started this challenge back on Feb 1st. That's a giant WIN.
Exercise: 60 min step aerobics, 30 min walk
Calories: within limit
Tracking: every bite and slurp5 -
Very interesting reading all the NSV's.
My NSV's would be, my husband telling me I look like I have lost more weight than what the scales says. Aquamotion classes are much easier. I actually said to someone(without thinking) that I felt we weren't being worked as hard as we were at first. Others in the group all laughed and said to me " Don't you think maybe it is you that have changed and the exercises are easier for you" WOW, I did not even consider that it was my body that had changed...lol. I ahve also been under calories for 27 days now and most days also under sodium, sugar and all other things that are tracked............But overall I think my biggest achievement is that I have lost 14.6lbs and have not touched a salt shaker in 27 days! WOOHOO!
exercises yes 60 minutes pool exercises, 30 minutes stationary bike.
calories yes, even adding extra amounts of suppers food, due to tasting along the way...lol
tracking yes food and water, ect.1 -

Sorry I haven't updated. Been busy. I usually update at night, but lately I've been too tired to update. I decided to update quick today. I must get into a better habit for updating, as I have a few other challenges I'm involved in, too.0
