In all honesty she is a lovely (non-nefarious) person but the treats she brings in are really hard to pass up come 3 o'clock!
There is always someone like that in the workplace. Good on you. Sometimes when they bring it to me directly I just graciously accept since they made such an effort. Then as soon as they are gone I either regift it or trash it somewhere away from my desk.12 -
I finally had time to clean out my closet and got rid of 5 garbage bags shoved completely full of clothes. Then got to go on an epic shopping adventure to replace my wardrobe ahead of starting my new job in September. We had a sales lady at the store helping us and she said she'd pull some stuff for me, she pulled xs shirts and size 4 pants and skirts. They all fit! The clothes I got rid of ranged from 8-16.
I also started planning our vacation to Moab in August. So excited for a really active vacation full of morning hikes and to get to try kayaking for the first time! So different from a vacation I would have planned even 2 years ago!29 -
My most recent and BEST NSV I've ever had happened yesterday. I inspired my brother to try and lose weight as well! He is in the same place I was at his age where he has pretty much accepted the fact that he was going to be big for the rest of his life. I haven't been pushing him or telling him anything in regards to try and lose weigh because I know how it feels when someone else tries to change you and your not ready. I've been on this journey 4 months and yesterday he asked to start his own journey. I've never thought I would be the inspiration for someone to lose weight.37

Your way sounds much more polite. My way was yelling "Nope! Nope! Nope!" until she took the cupcake away.14 -
Was scrolling through my instagram and found this old flexing pic from when I started my weightloss journey one year ago. Decided to recreate it & realized I look jacked!
It was a wonderful NSV because I am currently at 94 lbs lost and have only been thinking about getting to 100 lately. It's like I had tunnel vision and needed to stop and appreciate how far I've come.73 -
This is a little bit of a scale victory too, apologies - today was legs day again and I was doing a warm up set with 60 lbs and thinking it felt as easy as bodyweight squats used to - and I suddenly realized it IS as easy as bodyweight squats used to be, because I weigh more than 60 lbs less now! Instead of carrying all that on my body all the time I'm picking it up and exercising with it!36

My boyfriend has been telling me how great my butt is looking for like a month now, but I just didn't see it. I always zero in on my trouble spots when I look at it in the mirror. But today I totally saw it! It really is starting to look pretty good, he's not just being nice!23

Today my company did a team-building afternoon of bowling. Not only was I able to bowl without tweaking my back (a big victory for me)... but the wight of the ball was equal to the weight I've lost in my first month on this journey. It felt so amazing to lift that heavy ball and throw it down the lane over and over again, thinking "this is so much that I will never have to carry around anymore".35

Way to go!! I have a hard time with freely offered treats like this!
This reminds me, (this isn't really NSV but I promise it's related on some level) my mom has been eating healthfully for as long as I can remember but especially as she's gotten older she can feel the difference if she eats something processed. Usually her feeling all icky isn't worth the "treat"
Cue a Friday am work meeting where donuts were provided. When she politely refused (more b/c she didn't want to feel ill than because she doesn't like them) the coworker offering them up to her became angry My mom said her coworker was all offended and burst out "Oh COME ON Really!? You're not going have a single donut!?" My mom handled it well by smiling and politely insisting "No thanks, I appreciate the offer but I would like to pass."
Thanks to lots of time on this thread and others I was able to reassure her that, although hurtful and aggravating, her experience is not isolated. So thanks MFP community! Your shared experiences really helped out my mom!28 -
This morning when my alarm went off at quarter past 4 I got up, fumbled around, then went back to bed....(I was REALLY tired- or so I thought) I laid in bed for 10 minutes and all I could think was "you really should just get up and go for a walk, an extra hour of sleep isn't going to make much difference, the hour of walking will make you more energetic" so I did, and I felt so much better for it. Then I went and rode one of my mares, Shakaya, fed all of the horses and still had time to groundwork Sass #winning28

My waitress called me "tiny!" As in, "a tiny person who can put away a lot of food." LOL! If she only knew I'm down 30 pounds and I'd been saving up for this meal out.
(The waitress was tinier than me and 20 years younger.)24 -

Just to start the argument again, hammer and nail set works really well and is cheaper
I use a drill and bit on mine. It works good on leather.
Or buy cheaper belts. With your weight going down, they're temporary anyway.11 -
Last year I wore a size XL shirt. This morning, I put on a Medium shirt that had been hanging in my closet for several years - and it looks and fits great!23

This week has been the most exercise I've gotten so far on my journey. 9.59 miles paddling the kayak and 7.6 miles on the elliptical this week. Looking forward to trying to keep this up!24

Oh I would but I'm trying to see how many holes I can drill in this one before(if) I toss it. I've had this belt since I was 15 and I'm 26 now.
I do like your point though. That's pretty much what I've done with all my other clothing. Until I get to where I'm sure I'll stay for a while, I buy the cheapest stuff I can find. When I do finally get there I'm going to put a massive hurting on my bank account LOL.
ETA: I'm currently using one of my wife's hair ties to keep the extra from flapping all over the place. I just can't let it go yet.10 -
Donated 9 pairs of size 40 dress pants and several XXL T shirts23

yep, that's me jogging for that time. Navigating cattle grids, brambles and narrow wooded paths. And hills, oh gods the hills!
but did it, and sprinted at the end, and my mate said he tried but couldn't keep up on the end stretch haha!
FEEL EPIC!!
and went and still did my 2km swim this morning to wake up properly!20 -
My skinny hip dimple went away! I was upset that my pronounced skinny bit on my hip had shrunk, I was keeping to my calories and hitting the gym so why was it not there? I poked it and discovered that there was still a lack of fat over my hip and the dimple had shrunk because the fat pocket below it had shrunk! Less of a difference between bone and fatty pocket to bone and less fat pocket. Temporary sadness replaced by happiness.
In other NSV news:
I achieved my gym goal; went everyday even when tired, hungry, had a migraine, TOM (which for some reason has always been an excuse in the past). It has definitely showed me that when I don't go to the gym I choose not to go -there is always time for it.
Today I had 3 biscuits; blame it on tiredness etc. But I logged them all and whilst I will be slightly over I don't really mind as in the past I would have easily had 3 biscuits and never logged. Same calories in just different tracking. Plus gym tonight and I've already logged in a quick run.18
