What's Your Most Recent NSV

Fell off the wagon and gained like 6 or 8 lbs. But I didn't fall off the exercise wagon and I've been working out more consistently than I ever have before, which is a NSV. Back to counting my calories. Day 2 complete.

Being able to graze my hand along my collarbone and actually feeling them there without putting any pressure on them.

I work rotating shift work, and tonight was my first night shift since I started on MFP (630pm-0700am). Since 630 pm the only thing I had was 2 cups of coffee, my salad that I packed for dinner, 64ozs of water, and my 28 wasabi almonds. Normally I would snack all night long to stay awake. My first NSV since starting on Monday.

Finding I’d finally dipped into “healthy” BMI for the first time in my adult life yesterday. 24.9! Whoop!

Congratulations! That has to feel amazing! I have less than 10 pounds to go to get into “normal” BMI also for the first time since high school.

I just became "overweight" not "obese" and am very excited to celebrate my 50 freakin' pounds lost! It likely sounds silly to be happy to be overweight. But if you have been there you too, no doubt, understand that the overweight milestone can make you feel happy.

I have more to lose but I feel emotionally happy and physically fantastic.

I had a lot of room left to meet my calorie goal last night, and I felt indulgent, so I got myself a nice big helping of chocolate ice cream - something I used to eat every night, at the same volume.

I got about halfway through before I found it kind of disgusting. I looked at it and thought, "I don't want this." So I threw the rest of my bowl away. (I hate, hate, hate food waste but I knew I just would not be able to finish it.)

I didn't think I'd get to a point where my new way of eating changed the way I wanted to eat. I know CICO works and that I could have eaten that ice cream without any consequences, but I truly would rather have had some fruit or greek yogurt with nuts.

So I guess the NSV is that my new habits are perpetuating themselves without me having to even think about it!

I have just moved house , so needed to change the address on my driving licence,but figured i better change the photo too... eight yrs apart (and yes i've gone pretty grey) but the 190lbs weight loss has been the last 27months.

Big transformation.

I did that a 6 months ago. They even asked for a second season ID. My husband had also lost weight and the clerk asked to if she could live at our house.

Got another one today Those clothes I bought a few days ago? Well one was a tank top that was a large when I tried it on but too big so I grabbed what I thought was a medium off rack (hanger said medium). I guess I didn't bother to check the tag because, while I was wearing it today, I was telling my husband I wished I had gotten a size small because the fit was a little baggy. He checked the tag and it's an extra-small!!! I'm not an xs size, the fit is meant to be loose but it was a nice surprise.

For the first time in years I've been able to wear skirts and dresses without tights in the hot weather and not have chafed thighs at the end of the day! I don't have a thigh gap at all, but there's less contact and I'm not as sweaty as I used to be!

Oh my God you just opened my eyes to a new one for me too. I have been wearing shorts a lot more now and never realized my thighs aren't rubbing together causing discomfort!! High 5 to us and our smaller legs.

Friendship ended with scale. Measuring tape is my new best friend.

In all seriousness, the scale showed 2 lbs gained since last Sunday even though I have been measuring every single bite to the gram and working out like crazy. Lots of bodyweight, kettlebells, cardio, etc.

I got super discouraged before I remembered to measure myself.

Since last week, I lost one inch from my waist, one inch from my hips, one inch from my thighs, and (grumble) one inch from my bust!

Not so cool about the bust thing, but we can't be too picky in this life.

I bought shorts for the first time since high school! I’ve been self conscious about my legs for years—I finally feel comfortable enough to say f it, I will wear these shorts despite the veins bc I am actually seeing some muscle in there!

You look nice in them! I’m considering shorts this summer too. Can’t remember the last time I wore them.

Just checked my resting heartrate.

46 beats per minute!! 46!!! that makes me 'athlete' on several graphs and things

I hit my "goal" sometime last week; I've been setting it for 10% of my current weight each time, since doctors always say losing that is very beneficial to your health. So now I've lost 10% of my body weight ... TWICE! And that long-term goal that once seemed so far away is inching closer ...

Also, my BMI has dropped in the 40s! When I started my journey, it was in the 60s.

26 clean pull-ups/chin-ups (not consecutively, but still!)
