What's Your Most Recent NSV

Managed a trip to the supermarket without any need for a 'treat' despite walking down the sweets and treats isle.
Walked out with nothing more than the peppers, strawberries, carrots and chicken breasts I went in for!
For me that huge!33 -
New goal ideas:
Single digit pants size
Do 10 real push-ups
Do 2 pull-ups (completely unassisted)
Jog a 5k
Do a hand stand without a wall
I am currently working on the middle 3.
Nice ideas! I LOVE the pull up one. I just started messing with that machine a week ago. Its so empowering!!!
Came up with some new goals:
Get into the 30's % range for BF% (currently 41.2%)
Rock size 10 jeans (Currently 12's)
Get to "Overweight BMI"... this one is kind of a scale victory and a NSV at the same time. (Currently 31.1)
Get my pull ups to 50lbs assistance (Currently doing 9 @ 95lbs, 6 @ 80lbs, and 3 @ 75lbs)
Its go time!
I can currently manage 1 pull-up with a 25lb assist. So I really want to lose 25lbs, so that I can do one. Just one, that would make my month!15 -
Fashion NSV. Victorias Secret is having it’s Semi-annual sale. I picked up some good bras but the real NSV, I tried some medium size lingerie on sale and ALL were big. The smaller sizes fit. This is a surprise since my go to size for decades for lingerie was medium. #Progress!25

My 9 year old lifted me up off my feet... we both think this is great lol!
We also do monthly challenges together, like squats or the ab challenge one right now. I’ve never had so much motivation to do something and would probably have slacked if he wasn’t doing it with me but I have to show him how to follow through, even if I don’t feel like it! Each month I see if he wants to take a break but he loves it, we are on month 5.
I love this! You are creating wonderful memories together.9 -
I have gotten hungry for a healthy life style. I have started exercising
again.26 -
The batteries on my scale were literally dead this morning so I couldn’t do my weekly weigh in. It was measurement day as well anyway, and...
In three months, I have lost 5.0% from my waist.30 -

See the little blob at the top of the hill? In the middle of the light bit? That was a man with his bike, about two-thirds of the way up the hill. He went past us on his bike but had to get off about half way up. I took great satisfaction in the knowledge that I can cycle right to the top of this hill!
I still cannot believe that I managed to run up all of the hills on this route (and there were many, these were just two of the more impressive ones). I still cannot get over the fact that I'm running at all, let alone up hills.
I'm now itching to try another activity. I've been lingering on this site for almost three years. At the beginning, I started walking. The next year, I started cycling and then strength training. The year after, running. Still doing all four but want to try something else. My son enjoys paddlesports so I may have to try kayaking. Or maybe rowing. But something.
The weather tried to ruin my fun today as it rained for several hours this afternoon, so we didn't get out to run until quite late. By the time we'd walked the four miles back home, it was getting dark. I've been out on my bike every day for a long streak and it looked as though today, my streak would end. I decided not to let the dark beat me so shot out for a very short bike ride. Two miles and eight minutes later, I had my bike ride in for the day
We've missed you! I'd also like to try rowing, but kayaking, canoeing, and dragon boating are all great activities too. Particularly since you really enjoy and appreciate being outside. Such a nice way to spend a summer evening. Plus getting a workout too
Missed me? I've been around, just in the background a little . . .
But, I had to pop by to announce that I am so excited - tomorrow my son and I are going to do this run AGAIN! I am really looking forward to it. I might push my son a little and make him run a little further this time. Not that I will tell him until we get there, of course. I do like a challenge
My children think that I am mad. They may be right.
My five year old went to Parkrun with us (my son and I) this morning. She got a new PB. Unsuprisingly, my time was much slower than usual. But it was worth it as there were loads of people along the final 100 yards, all shouting and screaming encouragement at her. She did so well, I was so proud of her. But, once we'd finished I felt as though I could do another lap (it's a two-lap course). Had I tried, I may well have failed but I would have liked to try. A little difficult when there is a small person to consider But maybe tomorrow, with my son, we will venture a little further than usual . . .
Am now up to 43 Parkruns. My son did his 39th today and my five year old did her 9th. She's also completed 35 junior parkruns (2km/1.2miles). And between us, we've volunteered 168 times (if you include my other two children and OH, it's 320 times). The only member of my family who has not done a Parkrun now is my teenage daughter. But she will . . . it's addictive. So addictive.22 -
Didn’t skip leg day!!!19

I ran almost 8 km / 5 miles. I was 100% sure I'd stop at the 5k but I just kinda zoned out and kept going. This is the second time ever I got this far, the first one being running 9.6 km / 6 miles and then succumbing to ankle pain in 2014. No pain this time.26

I really start to like how I look in the mirror!29

Ooh! I discovered another one, today: I'm in my 40's, and have been trying to improve my skin care routine, to help with anti aging. In the past few years, I've not been thrilled about the new jowls I've been sporting. I'm just realising that with my recent weight loss, because my face is slightly slimmer, the jowls are decreasing! Let's hope they go away completely!32

I used to run a lot before I had some knee trouble. That "zoning out" was key to get to the next level for me. It took me months to be able to run 5 miles and then weeks to be able to run 10.
Now I do brisk walks at or just above 4mph. Walked almost 7 miles this morning in about 100 minutes.20 -
Had my photo taken for a Costco ID and, while I usually dread something like that, this one didn't look too bad!19

That was me, and it was a bit tough so I get it. Many congrats on your own victory - that's just awesome!alteredsteve175 wrote: »I had read here recently about someone who went on a cruise. She opted to use the stairs only and skip the elevators on the ship.

I couldn't wear my favorite white jeans last summer because they were too tight.
They're now almost too loose!25 -

Thanks for sharing that tip, @kittybenn. Some of the other judges took up the same habit. I will keep doing that in the future, anytime I can.

I bought a blouse about two months ago, and it was a little tight. We've been having terrible weather, so I hadn't had an opportunity to wear it, until yesterday. When I put it on, I realised I could not wear it, because it was too big!
I'm sad because I didn't get to wear it even once (luckily it was cheap), but happy because of the reason why I can't -and I hope the charity shop where I take the clothes I don't wear any more can make a good profit from it.

Yesterday I had signed up for a 10k sponsored walk. I was joined by my husband, four children, daughter in law, nephew, his wife and their two children. Was an amazing day22

Okay this is a weird one....
I am having surgery to remove my belly flap, after a year at maintenance and recomp I was only able to get it partially down. But today I noticed it wasn't just hanging down, but completely folded over itself. I've now lost enough fat on my midsection that I went from lose skin to an actual flap of skin.
And I had to yank up my once perfectly snug jeans a few times yesterday.22 -
I'm using couch to 5k and yesterday (end of week 7) I managed to do 5k in 37 minutes without stopping once! 7 weeks ago the 1 minute running sections were murder and now I actually look forward to getting out to run after work. HUGE change in my mindset and its being reflected in the results.
The work is paying off!31 -
This weekend, I ran 5km in 34:41. 6 weeks ago, I ran my first continuous 5 km at 39:49, so I have shaved 5 minutes off my time since that first 5km run.21

I'm headed for flapville myself. Congrats on your weight loss and good luck with your surgical recovery.
Also can I ask about your turtle running club photo? Is it a real club, and if so I feel like I should be a part of it haha.9 -
@imogenash91 Congratulations. Running is addictive.
I started C25K in Dec (6 months ago). I completed my first organized 5k in March (running the entire route). Last week I ran 10k. This weekend I ran 2 local 5k runs. You will get addicted.11 -
I expected my NSV this week to be running a 5K on Saturday and another one in Sunday. But the real NSV was unexpected.
While lining up for Sunday's run I noticed a Dr. from the cancer center where my DH receives treatment. I said hello but she didn't recognize me. I pointed to DH on the side and she immediately apologized. She then started talking and ran with me the entire run. We talked afterwards and I now have a new running buddy.29 -
One of our grandsons spent Friday night with us and we went to the park. Last summer I tried to swing across the monkey bars and was still too heavy and didn't have enough upper arm strength. This summer? Three times across without a problem. I could have continued, but opted to climb up and down the short climbing wall with the eight year old instead.19

semi NSV. I only gained ~1.5 lb while traveling for work in Italy along with normal monthly gains and that was taken the day after I flew home. I forgot to check this morning but that is my normal monthly weight swings, so I still call it a win despite eating/drinking too much yumminess. Of course that may have been helped by walking 6-7 miles after our connecting flight got cancelled and we got stuck in Paris for the night checking out the sights.20

It’s Monday, and that goal is crushed!
Also, I don’t know if this is a victory or loss, but my favorite workout tights are becoming too big. Yay for becoming smaller, but I really love these pants and even my mental image of post-weight loss ”fit me” is wearing these. These are last year’s model too so I don’t know if I’ll find the same pants anywhere anymore, I’ll just keep my eyes open.

Went kayaking for the first time ever. No issues getting in or out. Kept up with the group. But best of all got to see some dolphins and a manatee close up! (Couldn't/wouldn't have done that before weight loss.)24

I was walking up the stairs and the person who sees me all the time did not recognize me! Hooray 15
