So... right at the back of this video from an evening dance class... there’s a woman who clearly has no balance, coordination, or idea of the steps...

But...

That woman used to weigh 385 lb and have ankles so knackered she could barely walk 600 yards in an entire day. Now she’s bouncing around cheerfully after an hour’s practice, blending right in with normal people. It’s like... is that me? Really? Are you sure?!

I'm tearing up at work because this is so lovely. Best NSV.

Another NSV to add today...

I’ve had a storage tub of clothing that is “way too small” sitting in my closet since I started losing weight six months ago. Most of the clothes are goal pieces, as I don’t actually know how much I weighed during certain periods of my life but I do know when I was wearing these clothes.

Every couple of weeks, I have been trying on the contents of the box and taking anything that “nearly fits” to hang up with my other current clothing.

Today? I emptied the box! I am nearly the same size as when I was my smallest, in year 9. I was 14!

I’ve filled the box instead with some clothes that are now “way too big” - I never intend on wearing them again and have already started donating, but I can’t wait to try these items on again in a few more months and see just how big they are.

TL;DR: my storage tub of “way too small” clothes has changed to my “way too big” clothes.

Feels pretty sweet!

That is so awesome!! Great NSV!

Just returned home after spending a week celebrating my son's wedding.

A few NSVs:
The first wedding photos have been posted and obviously the hard work over the past 15 months or so has paid off. Liking the way I look and, apparently, so do others because the feedback has been astonishingly positive.

Was difficult to log food while I was away - sporadic internet access - but managed to be down slightly (actually a scale victory)

The families had rented a huge house with everyone staying together. This was wonderful for both families to get to know each other as it was the first time meeting for all of us. The bride & groom and I had planned ahead of time that I would be the meal planner/facilitator/chef and it all worked out wonderfully.

Had a blast at the wedding as did everyone else!

I've finally got around to sorting out my photo ID (long expired passport and UK driving licence that is so old it's just a paper one).

I hate any/all photos of myself (note the non-profile pic lol) and the idea of having to carry a mini picture of me in my purse brings me out in a cold sweat, but it's becoming more of an everyday requirement (even just picking up parcels sometimes) that I've had to crack on with it.

It's a horrible photo (it really is - I look like I should be holding a board up with a number on it) but better than it would've been a year ago

The past several weeks the scale has gone steadily up. Haven't been logging regularly, which is certainly part of it, but...

This morning I got new trainers for my birthday, and I promptly broke them in with a little C25k, week 4 day 1. Ran for five straight minutes! After I showered up I tried on the new-with-tags Michael Kors jeans (aaah!) I got months ago from a thrift shop (TWENTY BUCKS FAM) and they FIT for the first time! They're gorgeous, and the person in them is feeling pretty great herself.

I will however be wearing my stretchier jeggings so I can enjoy a drink at the Flyers game tonight without popping a button.

The little victories are big wins for me, but the real success is seeing that even though my scale goals are getting derailed, my life and health are still moving in the direction I want!

AwesomeSquirrel · April 2018

This morning my belt suddenly closed on the second hole instead of the first

when I bought this belt a few weeks ago I held it up in the shop to measure and decided it was borderline but would just about close around the smallest part of my waist.

I can fit in most size 16 pants pretty comfortably now. I won the serengetti badge on my fit bit which means I have walked over 500 miles. Went from a 3xL-4xl in shirts to an xL.

KickassAmazon76 · April 2018

Last fall I was doing really well with my stronglifts program, and then was down because of a shoulder injury (baseball) and a hip injury (from a dumbass fall). Stupid hip still isn't perfect, but it's good enough. Anyways, I have been fighting a mental block when it comes to lifting heavy... I'm so scared of getting injured that I've been holding myself back from pushing.

Particularly when it comes to deadlifts. The last few times, as soon as I felt my form slipping, I'd put down the bar. My powerlifting coach would tell me that I had it, but my fear stopped me.

The night before last, though, I was on my 5th rep of deads and even though it got heavy and my form started slipping, I still pushed through and finished the lift. It wasn't the prettiest lift, but it was still good form and I finished my set!

Hopefully this is the start of the removal of that fear... cuz I love deadlifts!

My co-worker (who is on WW) and I got in a really bad habit of eating at our work cafe on a regular basis. It was a lot of fried food, huge buffet portions, etc. We made a pact on December that we were only going to eat there once a month, so far we have stuck with it, and even have become really picky about what meal we will "spend" on!

We were feeling stressed today at work so we went down to the cafe to check out the specials and ended up talking each other out of it. The pasta bar and buffalo chicken wrap just were not worth it today!

allangirl · April 2018

I only ate two Girl Guide cookies. Normally I would eat six, seven or a whole box if given the chance.

Gngr09 · April 2018

Just went to the mall and I am down one size in a shirt. Woo Hoo!

tammierlewis · April 2018

@glennagael I remember when I ran my first 5 full minutes too. I was cheering and my husband thought I was crying. That was in December 2017. I just completed my first 5K last Saturday with an official time of 35:31. Do it at your own pace and you will succeed!

donthegeek · April 2018

My NSV is that another stack of clothes went to Goodwill last night. All of my 3x and 2x shirts as well as any pants over 38 waist though I'm wearing mostly 36 now. The good side is I get new clothes that are in style, the bad side is that my wife gets to drag me in a store to go shopping (the horror of it all).

Only 48 days till we head to San Francisco for my wife's 50th birthday (don't tell her I told you her age). Seemingly silly but important things to me: 1. I want to fit comfortably in the small airplane seats, 2. I want to be able to pedal from Pier 39 up to Sausalito, 3. I want to be arm candy while she shops

Got my first "stop getting so skinny!" comment today from a coworker. It was meant as a compliment and I'm totally not offended by it, I actually can't stop smiling

I've gone from a size 22W to a 14 (about 70 pounds) and I've been kind of in a rut for the past month-ish, so being called skinny is a HUGE NSV for me right now!

kittybenn · April 2018

Planning a cruise in mid May and trying to figure out what to wear. Tried on a bathing suit I haven't fit into in two years and it fit perfectly. Went shopping for beach coverups today and started with XL - nope. L - nope. M - yep. OMG, what?! The last time we went on a cruise, about 18 months ago, I was having a hard time walking very far, especially in the heat. And God forbid I should put on a bathing suit and get in the pool or enjoy the beach. Now I'm going to experience everything as an (almost) normal person, and can't wait!

after overeating (alot) over easter i sort of fell off track for a bit craving chocolate and icecream. indulged a bit but past 2-3 days iv been super active and it killed my appetite. I knew i was undereating (badly actually thats not so good lol) but my NSV is even though i went to the store twice walked around looking at cookies and chocolate and icecream giving myself permission to eat it to up my calories, I didnt buy it. Didnt seem worth it to me. Just came home from the store with a sesame chicken tv dinner and a case of diet pop instead. Mise will get some real food in and alot of fluid and not just pack in candy calories i dont need.

If you knew me youd know its huge to give self permission to eat bad foods and then walk away even once, let alone twice

Its nice to have control back

I took a VERY long break from running and just focused on HIIT, weight lifting, and yoga instead. Tuesday my wife bailed on our yoga plans and I really didn't want to do it by myself so I decided to see if I could still run. I was so excited to find that not only could I still run, my pace hasn't slowed nearly as much as I expected. It's been at least 6 months since I've run much more than 5 minutes at a time so it felt like a nice little victory for me.

ETA: Before I give the false impression it was some big triumphant race, I ran just under 2 miles; I'd for sure have to really start training for running again if I wanted to actually complete a race. I haven't decided yet if that is something I want to do or not, I have really enjoyed my gym sessions and do not enjoy running nearly as much.

Keeping up with anything long-term is difficult for me. I’m clinically depressed, and those bad brain times tend to sneak up on me and lay me out. The longest I’ve been able to consistently track on MFP for a long time has been a month.

I’ve been tracking for about 6 weeks this time. (Yay!)

BattyKnitter · April 2018

A coworker who had left a few months ago and recently come back stopped me in the hall today and mentioned I had lost weight! People are finally noticing, wooo!
