What's Your Most Recent NSV

I was clearing out some drawers last night and came across a pair of thirty year old trousers from my "rock chick" days.

I got them on

Ok, I had to lie down to zip them up, and I have a muffin-top I didn't used to have, but I'm calling it a victory.

Saw someone who I last saw 20 months ago and they commented that I lost a lot of weight. Yes, I did. And it feels good. More to lose.....

Started this journey 2 years ago...logging for 2 years. Steady weight loss for the first 79 pounds but I have 30 to go and I have been stalled for months, at least 8 months of a 2-3 lb up and down. Last week I identified that I have not been true to myself with the discipline of logging so I regrouped. No change in the scale yet but the victory is I don't feel defeated. I wont throw away 2 years of hard hard work.

I'm not down 80 but I've been juggling the same 5 pounds since October of last year. I feel you! Here's to hoping that the spring/fall season will bring success!

Today is my Fativersary! One year ago today I weighed in at my highest weight and started logging. The SV is that I'm down from last year; the NSV is that I'm here, one year later, with no plans to quit!
Sticking it out hasn't been very difficult, and has truly become second nature. I love and appreciate all of you on here! Thank you for the support, motivation, and accountability!

Read this and then I remembered - I started this journey on March 6, 2017 - just over a year ago. I have to agree - the support and encouragement here is the reason I am still working on my goals. Thanks for reminding me!

I have the flu (that's NOT my NSV! lol) Normally when I'm ill it's a reason to go off of my plan, stop logging my food, eat all the crap that I can stuff in my gob. Once I'm well, I tend to stay off track and regain all of the weight I've lost and then some.

This time I'm handling it a bit differently. I continue to log my food and stay on track. The only treats I've allowed myself are the ones that are . . . well, allowed.

I haven't stuck to my exercise plan but I have a pretty good reason for that. I can't breathe and my throat is sore (see? Told you I had a good reason!)

An unintended consequence of my eating program seems to be a stronger immune system because although I feel awful, I seem to be getting over this faster than anyone else at work that has the bug. I can't wait to be healthy and able to breathe again to restart my workouts.

I was able to cross my legs today for the first time in a looong while!

Thanks for posting this. Just what I needed today.

It's been are really stressful day today and I was almost thinking of overeating then I realized that tomorrow is weigh-in day. Eventually that thought just went away. Whew. Also when I walked into work tonight a co-worker came up to me and made sure to say hello. He said he didn't even recognize me yesterday and felt bad. That actually made me feel GREAT. It's working!

Today pants were falling off of me. I luckily had a bag of things I wanted to donate including pants that were too small for me to fit. I tried them on and they fit. No side buldges!!!! I'm officially down 1 pants size

This evening a group of us were at a friend's house. She put out soft chocolate chip cookies (from the bakery no less) for us to enjoy. I leaned over to take one (I had room in my calories for the day) and someone said "If I was as skinny as you I'd have one too". What???? No one has ever said that to me in my life!!! And no, I'm not skinny. I've lost 90 pounds but I've been battling the same 8 pounds since October. It felt good to hear though

Going from wearing tight clothes and looking in the mirror trying to convince myself I looked OK but knowing I looked ridiculous. Then slimming down feeling comfortable and looking good in those same clothes. Then slimming down further and acknowledging those same clothes are so big I'm looking ridiculous again. Time to shop

Mr_Healthy_Habits · March 2018

I'm starting to reach the point where I've realized that if I workout sick, or on sore or others compromised joints or muscles, I'm looking for trouble...

I've always known this but victory lies in knowing that it's only going to be to my benefit if I rest an extra day... Or even two

It's not a sign I'm slowing down, just coasting on the momentum I've built, so I can come back stronger

Bought a new belt a few months ago and I could barely wear it using the first notch. This morning I cinched up my pants and am proud to say that I on the last notch of that belt. Time to start looking for a new one or punch some holes in the current one!

This one is a little bittersweet, but after a visit to my family I realized how active I have become and how inactive the rest of my family is. We ate and sat around 99% of the time I was there and it made me stir crazy but also opened my eyes to the habits I had growing up and how, as an adult, I'm glad I've been able to break some of those through exercise and creating my own habits.

The strap of my handbag doesn't slide off my shoulder anymore.

I find that if anyone gets up to do something active, at least a few others will join in, sometimes everyone.

I did deadlifts BY MYSELF today!

And I finished the first 4 weeks of Strong Curves. I was not specifically in it for the booty building, but I definitely have a butt now. Weird.

rainingribbons · March 2018

Usually if I'm going out to eat and know where I'm going I look at the menu beforehand just to make sure there's something I can eat there (I'm pescatarian). Sometimes I'll look at calories and decide on something healthy beforehand, but don't always stick to it. This week I'll be going out for food TWICE and both times I've made myself plan my day around those allotted calories and not felt the bit deprived!

Additionally, I usually log my food the morning of, or occasionally if I'll have leftovers I'll log a meal the day before. I wanted to go ahead and log this Saturday's out-to-eat meal to know how many calories leftover I'll have to play around with, and ended up just logging everything from tomorrow up through part of Sunday!

Ate like total garbage last night and didn’t berate myself for it. Back on the wagon this morning.

Makes you think about the "nature vs. nurture" argument, doesn't it?

Don't sell yourself short. That is impressive!

Had to replace my size 16 hiking pants with size 10 hiking pants last night.

jhb360 · March 2018

I've been struggling since the end of October. Back on track this week and already needing a belt (and tempted to try the next lower waist size). Keto on my friends

Since retiring in January of this year, love being able to meet girlfriends for lunch. Previously when I would do that, we would each order an item. The last few times, we've decided to order one item and split it. Works much better for both my daily log and my pocketbook!
