What's Your Most Recent NSV

Today I hit my 60 day streak for logging in! The NSV is that I'm finally staying consistent and sticking with my plan. I've tried joining gyms and different things in the past, but I've never made it more than a couple of weeks. I've even started C25K about four different times, never even making it to week two, but last night I graduated! I'm now almost half way to my original goal weight, and can't wait to see where this new lifestyle takes me!

I noticed this morning that my shin bones seem to have suddenly popped out. Shaving was an ordeal lol but so worth it for proof that my body is changing! It's so hard to see it in the mirror!

ooh I forgot this one - lady at the gym who hasn't seen me since before Christmas stopped dead and said 'you've lost so much weight!'
so obviously I got all embarrassed and red faced cos this was in the reception area and didn't know what to say!

'thank you'. 'thank you', was all I needed to say

but yay - 2nd person outside of family to notice!
(am not counting family aka mum as she knows I am trying and I suspects she overstates what she sees to help keep me on track - which I love her for!)

Contemplating going to the gym this morning, been feeling down since the scale hasn't moved in over a month. I've been taking measurements since last month when the scale stopped moving. Decided to measure myself and I've lost over two inches; arms, chest, stomach, hips and legs. Of course I hit the gym today!!!
I read your NSV everyday and they kee me going. Thank you!!!

4/7/2015 is the date I joined MFP. Yep, I've been here 2 years Now! I'm so grateful to this site and all my friends I'm here who have kept me motivated. Now I'm going to celebrate by going for a run!

Last weekend I went shopping for new jeans. I found 4 pairs & all a size 6. I don't ever remember being a size 6 in my adult life. Further proof that the scale is not the only thing that matters

Last night I was just checking things out in the mirror, you know, just to see how things are looking. I actually had the thought and am seriously considering going for a bikini this summer.

I have two to report today:
1) Apparently I have oblique abdominal muscles. Who knew?! I was standing with my hands on my hips and when I took a step I felt the muscles on my sides engage in a way I've never felt before. Guess all that core work is paying off!
2) Yesterday my 15 year old daughter riffled through a basket of clean laundry to find jeans to wear. She put on a pair and announced that they didn't fit anymore, so I told her to put them with my clothes and I'd add them to the ever-growing "outgrown" pile. Went to put away laundry last night and discovered that the reason they didn't fit her was that they weren't hers - they were mine! Told her this morning that they weren't hers and she looked at me, confused: "I don't know whose they are, then. They were so tiny - they're not yours." Wrong! :-D

I am in a size 12 again for the first time since 1993. While this might not be too huge of a NSV its amazing for me, as I have a mental block (not sure why still trying to figure that out) about the size 14, every time in the past when I got to a 14, I started to self sabotage, and this time wasn't any different, but I was determined to persevere and I did.

I totally understand this! I have a point where I always would self-sabotage too. I think my subconscious would just say, "Eh, good enough" and quit, when it was really nowhere near good enough. Like you, I've just pushed past that point, too. Congrats! I know what that feels like!

Me too! I have done this same thing at size 14 to the 12.....dang....but onward we go right??? Good on both of you!!!!

I have just run 5k. Outside (track around a park and sports area). For the first time in my life!!! In 43 minutes! I am still obese as per bmi so that's a win in my book! Who knew I could run 5k and not die??? Came home and had allll the food (weighted, chosen wisely and logged, but enjoyed it soooo much more!)
