Two years ago I bought a pair of extra-wide calf knee-high boots. The first year, my fingers were torn to shreds after fighting with the zipper. Last year, I couldn't zip them on at all. Yesterday, I tried them on and they zipped up with absolutely no resistance!33

So much props @Madwife2009!
Today I two NSV...
An email went out saying there was delicious carrot cake and my officemate brought a slice to our office and I did not eat any of it!
I made soup from scratch for the first time (260 calories without the crackers...I didn't end up eating the crackers in the end because it was a bit stale). Seafood and veggie soup:

I went to Chick-fil-a for dinner and an ice cream to soothe my sore throat (lecturing for 2.5 hours will do that to a person) Generally I would have gotten a sandwich, fries, and a sweet tea. Today I got a salad and water.16

Today it was hurting a lot for some reason. Then I suddenly realized— I used to have this level of knee pain (or worse) every single day! 108# down and my bones thank me. Pain is an unusual occurrence these days.
not only is body losing weight but it goes through a healing crisis and re-visits old healed issues etc., I have that every now and again and I remind myself its just my body healing9 -
I work remote, either at home or on the road. Travel 50/50, officially assigned to the corporate office staff. I had not been into the office for over a year. When I said hello to co-workers who know me...have been in the field with me, I got blank stares. I finally realized I had changed so much in the last year...they had no idea who I was until I started talking common business.25

As I was doing laundry today, I picked up a pair of jeans and wondered how my daughter's jeans got in the wash. I knew that wasn't possible since she's away in college. Then I realized they were my jeans! They looked so small. I was used to seeing a women's (size 20) jeans. I'm looking forward to shopping for size 12 now.32

I dont have to shop in plus size anymore!!! Went to grab hubby some work shirts and decided to try some jeans to get my size. I started last december as a 24... so i tried 18's, too big. 16's too big... went to REGULAR sizes and tried on 14's and they fit and i didnt have to try to suck in my gut or anything!46

Sometimes I actually cry when I am running...such a dork....not because I am running but because I AM running. Bought new running shoes after having a foot analysis done. These shoes are magnificent! Thats the biggest NSV I think...that I am now seeking tools to help me be a better ATHLETE. Love reading this thread! Each and every post is wonderful! Carry on peeps!31

Does this count? Got flirted w/ today by a 75 year old woman. She's 28 years older than me. Ha!32

Beyond awesome, Madwife. Respect!You are a rockstar, @Madwife2009! I remember the first time I went to the gym after almost a year and a half hiatus due to illness. It IS a major acheivement!

@ridiculous59 - thanks, that's so sweet of you. I am delighted that, finally, finally, I appear to be improving. It's been the year from hell, it really has. I felt that my life was in tatters and I was destined to be pain-free again. I never thought that I would be able to say "I believe that I am improving as my symptoms are not as bad".
At some points I was in such a state that I struggled with just walking. If we did go out, I had to plan walks very carefully so that I didn't end up on rough ground as that hurt so much. I was unable to drive for a few weeks as well so that was an added strain on my husband, having to do everything. I've learned never to underestimate the sheer hell of active arthritis. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
I do get annoyed with the doctors though, as they don't look at the person and react to that, instead they see a set of symptoms. They just don't do the mental health side of things either. I got very angry about the "brush your concerns aside" attitudes I experienced. I shouldn't have been in pain for a year, had they looked properly at my symptoms and the guidelines (written by their own consultants!) then I should have been on these drugs from the beginning. I fully intend to tackle them about this as I cannot be the only person this has happened to.
I took part in a research study recently about being diagnosed and how I'd felt so I released all of those feelings then but I think that I need to say more, even if it only helps one other person. Maybe I'll join their patient panel as well . . .9 -
So, I went on a 1 hr and 45 minute bike ride today. I took a break to enjoy the scenery, so it was probably only 1 hr and 30 minutes of actual biking, but it was SOOO FUN!!!! If I would have known I would like it this much, I would have got a more expensive bike, haha.19

Weird one, but I injured myself and my NSV is that I am actually staying out the gym until I am healed. Not pushing through and causing more injury.31

Your story is making me feel very emotional, as I could have written 95% of it. The flares + ongoing battles with medical professionals, pharmacies, and insurances (my goodness, insurances!) is so tough. You are a warrior.13 -
My anxiety has been terrible for the past few weeks so, rather than eating my feelings, I have started a new evening routine. I do a HIIT workout video followed by a few minutes of mindfulness/deep breathing. The workout is kicking my butt (in a good way) and my anxiety is back to a much more tolerable level.39

This is awesome! Way to go! I have the same problem when sick/injured, so I know how tough it is to stay away.
Get better soon6 -
Just finished my longest run of the season. One hour without stopping!31

This is connected to the scale, but anyway: BMI is officially out of the "obese" category at 29.9. Have lost about 10 off the starting BMI. Must continue to get healthy!27

Just ordered 3 suits and 3 shorts online on closeout from Off 5th and saved $1955.00 off list price. Whoa. Even if I shrink more and outgrow them in time, it's worth it. Guess I wanted to celebrate my new lower BMI. Yasss!20
