What's Your Most Recent NSV

Desperately needed jeans that fit and did not want to pay Lane Bryant prices. Most department stores where I live only go up to size 24 and I was a tight size 28 at my heaviest. Today, I decided to check out Kohl, just to see if they had jeans that would fit. I hesitantly grabbed a pair (size 24) and tried them on. They FIT! I honestly jumped up and down in the dressing room for a second. It feels great to be able to shop at department stores for clothes! I also bought a much needed bra that was 2 band sizes smaller!

I just love her rocking outfit made me smile I love her expression

I woke up this morning and didn't feel like going for my run. I thought about how bad it could really be if I skipped it, and didn't get up and get dressed to go until my husband said "I know you don't feel like going, but you always feel better when you do." So I took those first hard steps out the front door. I'm so glad I did because not only do I feel better now, but I ran the first mile of my run in 7:39!! And then kept up the next three at a 9:20 pace! I can't believe it really, I started running two years ago and have never thought I would do better than the middle of the pack. Not to mention that I think the fastest mile I ever ran in gym class was about 11:45.

After reading through this thread for months (I am currently on page 493) and getting a LOT of inspiration by all of those who have the courage to post, I am finally ready (and happy!) to report my own Non-Scale and Scale Victories. Today I logged for 255 days in a row (and was logging my food for most of those days with the exception of vacation trip to Europe). Hard work during those 255 days (food and exercise) yielded the amazing 60 lb loss (as of today).

I can't be happier with the MFP program, ability and ease of tracking CICO, and the improvements in my looks and fitness levels! I am being inspired by the community here and feel stronger than ever that I do that, that my outside will finally match how I feel inside. Thank you everyone for sharing your stories, struggles and victories, those postings help a lot of people like me!

6 months ago I was a size 16 in pants, yesterday I tried on 2 pairs of my size 9's that I used to wear before my last 2 pregnancies and they FIT!!!

Fit into the jeans I had set aside for a mini goal. I wanted them to fit and be comfortable by the end of Oct. I'm a month early!

I GOT HIT ON! By a gorgeous man, too. I havent experience this in years. A temp construction worker went out and asked if I wanted a coffee (cream, no sugar ) and brought it back. Didnt notice the inscription until after he left. Made my day. Now, I'm married and all, but doesnt mean I wasnt extremely flattered.

Dumped the rest of the gelato in the sink this morning, knowing if it stayed in the freezer I would succumb....

Met up with friends who we see on a fairly regular basis this weekend and was told I look skinny. (For reference, I'm 5' 6.5" and 154 pounds.) It made my day, and I'm still 14 pounds away from my goal weight. (And this is related to the scale, but my BMI has dropped into the normal range.)

did a double take coming out of gym this morning. I had my hair cut Saturday and while walking past gym mirror I had to look again as I didn't think it was me! only slightly shorter hair but it frames my face differently, and makes the weightloss in my face more noticeable.
odd but good!

Love this thread! I recently had a really cool one.

My husband mistook my new jeans for my 13 year old daughter's. We're actually several sizes apart, but he's never made that mistake before.

Well the scale is up but my NSV for the last couple of weekends, was running a 14k trail race which had killer hills on them and a 10k road race. Pleased with how well I did considering I did not train this summer at all and was up 12 lbs.
This will help motivate me to now work on the scale side of things.

I just remembered that I used to walk to the Zombies, Run! app a few years ago when I was trying tj get ivy the habit of going to the gym. The gym habit didn't take and I forgot about the app (I started walking with my husband and it's rude to listen to your phone when the other party isn't I I).

I just remembered it today, and downloaded it. I'm done with my workout today, but I'm super excited about going on my stationary bike tomorrow. (THEY don't know I bike instead of run.

My bad knee is unpredictable, sometimes it hurts after less than an mile. Sometimes I can walk three miles with no pain. I had a tendon moved four years ago, and the problem in my knee is mechanical. I have to live with it. I am doing strengthing exercises to build muscle (as much as you can on deficit) in my legs, in case that helps, but that can only do so much. But I can use a stationary bike just fine.

They also do virtual 5Ks and I'm going to sign up for one this next year. I can probably split up the 5K into two days if my knee doesn't cooperate, unlike a traditional 5K. And since you're competing with yourself it doesn't matter how slow you go!

I really think I'm starting to like exercise. I've been riding daily for 8 days now, and I find myself looking forward to sweating. I need to add strength training in, but I need to be careful not to make my distasis recti worse.

Got rid of what felt like an entire wardrobe of bigger clothes. Just to make sure I won't regain. Bc if I have the clothes it doesn't matter. But now I need to lose/maintain to not be naked unless I want to spend money, which I dont

Just ordered my first pair of pants in a misses size - and they fit!! I've been buying plus size pants for about 20 years.
