I currently have 16 items of clothing at the tailor getting taken in! Leaves me with 3 outfits I can wear while waiting to collect them! Cheaper than replacing plus I like them!22

I had this realisation when I started running too. I mentioned it to my personal trainer and he said that if you're running on a treadmill, adjust the incline to replicate the difficulty of running on terrain. Believe me, it's much more realistic, and definitely "counts"!14 -

I love this! My passport is soon to expire, and for once I'm really excited about getting a new picture!14 -
My swimming costume needed replacing so on a whimsical whim I tried on the one I have had since 2009 and not been able to even come close to squeezing into.
It fit and feels comfy. Happy happy as that is a 'free' swimming costume as I can't remember buying it! lol
I was asked this morning which club I swam for (I don't) as well as being told I am looking very slim. Excellent morning!!
AND I managed to push a 5kg weight 25m underwater without coming up for air22 -
My 14-year-old saw my drivers license, which is 4 years old, yesterday. “Wow. You looked really... different.”
Yes. It was 60 lbs and a lifetime ago.33 -
I've read several 'I picked up a bag of grain that weight the same as I've lost ...' and 'I picked up a kettlebell ...', etc. posts on these boards, but having that real-life moment of 'I've lost THIS MUCH!?!?!?' was incredibly eye-opening.
I've just managed to get my squat weight to more than I've lost. Squatting 135 lbs and lost 130.

Monday afternoon, one of the trainers at the gym I go to, (whom I've known for several years and who has seen the ups and downs of my weight loss/fitness journey) told me I am looking good and looking lean. Given her expertise and familiarity with my journey, that was a great compliment!22

I can now do full sit-ups, and quite a few before I get tired. I still have to jam my feet under the couch or have someone hold them down. But, it was a challenge to even do one earlier this year. It would be totally badass to do sit-ups without having to hold my feet down! I think that's my next goal. Also still going strong with my 52 weeks of exercise program. There have been weeks I've only managed to get one workout a week. But it's still more then I used to do, and therefor counts!24

I was at work on the elevator yesterday with a coworker from another floor, and a delivery guy gets on with a huge cart, so we smush into a corner to give him space. The elevator gets to my floor and he says "How am I gonna let you guys off". So my coworker says "Don't worry she's tiny, she can squeeze past."
We've known each other since I was at my heaviest so it was absolutely huge hearing that. I thanked her for that amid the giggles.35 -

My son saw my high school year book picture and asked me if I got a face transplant. Ouch. But, yeah I weigh less now than in high school.22 -
Not sure if this is an NSV since it is somewhat based on weight, but I am thinking about a new paddleboard (SUP) and I want a touring model. I was discussing possible choices in a forum and got feedback that "most guys can't go with that size because of the buoyancy" - you need to be well below the weight limit so you can carry stuff and it is still buoyant enough to be stable. When I posted my size and weight, the feedback changed to "that size is fine for you." If I get one that size, it is going to be a major motivator to maintain properly.24

This week I met my last health goal - my waist-hip ratio is now under .8 at .78! My waist measurement is now under 30” as well. As an apple shaped woman who always seems to lose from my nonexistent hips, this is huge for me!23

I stopped paying attention to how many days I have been logging my meals when I reached my 1 year CICOversary. I just noticed today I have logged my meals for the past 501 days. Look at all that dedication . It’s amazing what the mind is capable of when you insist on achieving your goal and failure is not an option. You know, MFP should really reward us for all this hard work ( granted the website is free and there is the occasional UA discount we receive). But a congratulatory e-card won’t hurt

100 day streak on MFP! I've lost 30 pounds so far and have 30 more to go, at least, so this isn't that impressive -- but one of my goals this year is to have a 364 day streak on MFP.24

After 6 months of upper Midwest US climate discouraging any outdoor bike riding I've been pretty steadily logging ~75miles a week on the stationary bike at the gym (60minute "cross country" program 3-5days a week) while watching Netflix transferred content. Spring has finally sprung here and family life supported me getting out for a bike ride on my 'mountain bike' (now a ~20yr old bike that is old and heavy by current market offerings) yesterday evening.
Aired up the flat tires on the bike and instead of driving my truck to the gym I drove about 2miles to local bike trail access parking lot and biked the miles to the gym in less than 20minutes so I rode past the gym another 5minutes and looped back. Did a quick high intensity, little rest between sets workout on biceps, forearms and some planks at the gym. Jumped back on the bike and was back to the lot with my truck in less than 20minutes so I pushed on past another 10minutes before looping back. Pulled some significant mileage at an elevated heart rate (mouth breathing) but I felt great! I never really stopped a high RPM pedal rate (kept it in the mid range gears) and felt like I could have easily kept going even further but it was getting dark.
I also loved the feeling that each rotation on the pedal crank truly "pulled" the bike, which I attribute to a combination of stronger leg muscles and 30+lb weight loss in the last 6months from all the stationary bike riding over the long cold winter.
So my NSV is the emotional high of getting back on to a real bike, feeling/experiencing the fruits of my 6+ months labor on the stationary bike at the gym. I personally committed to myself to more frequently use this "cross training" of real bike riding to the gym and feeling the sun/wind on my face and hopefully leaving the stationary bike only for those days where the weather makes actual bike riding too undesirable.24 -
I'm finally free of all prescription medications. Great checkup this week.48
