^^amazing work! This thread is so life giving to read!!!! GAH! Mine is fitness related also, last night on my walk (went a total of 8 miles), My Garmin tracked two miles that I was well under a 13 min mile...which is a record for me in my running. I ran a total of 4 of the 8 miles with some walking in between because it was so cold it kinda hurt to breath but I felt so amazing. So thankful for the freedom this discipline brings. Good luck all!13

For the first time EVER, I got a burrito bowl for dinner and didn't finish the entire thing. I prelogged, and it fit my calories for the day, but I got full before I finished and was able to actually listen to my body and stop eating.
For a gal who grew up in a "clean your plate" home, and never got over this mindset, this is huge!31 -
Today I graduated from Cardiac Rehab. Three months, 36 sessions, and the difference in my strength, stamina and mental health from then until now is totally worth it.51

The scale hasn't moved much in the last month, so I need to acknowledge some non-scale victories.
1. Everyone is telling me how great I look. No one has commented on my weight, but I'm getting a lot of complements on my clothes and makeup, haha. (It's the same clothes and makeup I always wear)
2. I have gall stones again. So, not really a victory, but I only get these when I'm losing weight, so I know something is happening. (Also, I know this is woo, but white vinegar does almost instantly get rid of the pain for me.)
3. Non-health related, but I am almost ready to run my first research experiment- invented and designed by me.29 -
I’m probably a few days early with this nsv but I guess I can have 2! Last night I did w9r1 of c25k. This is my second go at this programme. I got side tracked in the summer but started it again in September. I remember mentioning it and people telling me I would come to love runnning. I don’t love running I don’t think I ever will BUT. It has become a habit a bit like cleaning your teeth or washing your hair. You do it to stay healthy but it’s neither a pleasure nor a chore. I cover just over 2 miles in my 30 minutes and I am more than happy with that. The results so far have been a forming up of wobbly bits, but not really weight loss and the ability to go up stairs/hills without the need to stop and catch my breath. So that’s nsv 1. The second will come on Monday (hopefully)when I will complete the programme in full13

My recent NSV is going to be very weird... not sure how well it can be appreciated by others, but here goes!
I have psoriasis, an autoimmune disease which inflames your skin, traditionally around the joints and scalp. I found out about 1.5 years ago that going gluten free would reduce my inflammation and have since made progress toward healthier skin and better self-esteem.
Below is a picture that I’ve shared several times on the MFP forum of my knee - clear progress with the gluten free lifestyle. Yesterday was the first time I felt comfortable enough to SHOW someone at work what my psoriasis looks like as my skin doesn’t look as scary as it used to look - kinda just looks like a lot of dry skin on my joints now.
The person looked at the psoriasis on my elbow with curiosity and even asked if they could touch my elbow to see what it felt like. For most of my young adult life, people asked if I was contagious because the psoriasis looked so scary, which led to covering it up all the time. To get this benign reaction instead makes all the changes for a healthier me worth it (though I still sincerely miss real bread and pizza).

I took a chunk out of my heel this past weekend (used my foot to "catch" a door as I was going through and the door decided to bite back). So I've been stuck with a huge gauze pad on my heel and have looked like a total dork wearing socks with sandals since shoes with backs are far too painful. This means that I haven't been able to do any of my usual physical activities(running, horseback riding, etc)!
But rather than getting down about the fact that I am unable to do my normal exercises, I have been doubling down on carefully tracking what I am eating to account for the lack of exercise calories. And you know what? It's totally worked! So a bit of a scale victory in that sense, but at the same time very much a NSV since previously I would have used this as an excuse to eat junk and generally be upset that my plan was thrown off.26 -
I just put on a shirt that I bought 6 years ago and hasn’t fit in 4, and it fits great.23

I did a headstand today! I'm currently completing Blogilates' beginners calendar, and for some reason I had convinced myself that I wasn't strong or coordinated enough to lift my body off the floor. It took me a couple of tries, but I did it!25

My NSV is I stood within my calories today. It’s my first day with MFP from WW. I did not binge today.31

my 'Pennsylvania Psycho Ward' shirt is getting too big.
kind of an NSV but it is my favourite shirt EVER. Have had it since 2006 and when I bought it it didn't do up comfortably - I did buy it to wear over tshirts so that was fine.
Now it does up and doesn't gape when I sit down! that is def an NSV. Just will be sorry to give it up when it starts to look more tent-ish.15 -
i went for my inspection sticker same place I go every year mechanic was like wow you lost a lot of weight17

Any time I went anywhere that people gather, I would quickly scan the room to see if there were any other fat people in the room, then beat myself up because I was usually the biggest person there and go home depressed.
Last night I realized that I am no longer do that. I am a healthy, strong 60 year old woman who is thriving.
Better late than never, right?

I got a "nice behind" text from a female colleague and I just got referred to as "a nice piece of rump". I have no problem with being objectified lol21

It was 6pm, I'd just missed my train, and I wanted a hot Cornish pasty, darnit. But the only vegetarian ones left were large cheesy ones, which wouldn't have fit in my calories. So I walked on up to the station platform, and wasn't even tempted.24

wow great job. This reminded me of one of my own!
At work, Was a super stressful awful day we literally had to have the boss come in and help and relax us. Was just a stress day. The day went long and i burned lots of calories and we stopped and got a donut. At the end of the day i had planned to go get an icecream cone on top of my donut because 1. id earned it 2. stress
All day once i gave myself the permission to get one i was getting super hungry and craved it- 3-4 hours later i went home stopped at gas station to get my icecream- They didnt have the one i wanted (caramel toffee ball top cone) They had similar, Same brand but with peanuts, Or almonds. But i wanted the caramel and toffee one. Within about 10 seconds of entering i turned around and left. And didnt stop anywhere else on the way home.
Was super weird to turn down a treat i told self hungrily for so many hours i could have lol16 -

Find a way to repurpose it so you can keep wearing it.6
