July 15: yes x 3
NSV: put on a pair of pants that were so tight a month ago that it hurt to wear them but now not a tight and not uncomfortable at all.8 -
I was all ready to go try out a body sculpt plus abs after work tonight to start focusing more on strength to balance the cardio. But forgot about dinner plans we had which included quite a drive and blew the rest of the evening. Had I planned better I could’ve done a walk at lunch! Ah well love and learn I was 20 calories over... if I had skipped on the ale at dinner I might have made calories but still had no time to fit in exercise unless you count taking the garbage out! 😂
Pass day #1 today
But as for NSV I pulled out some capris jeans I’ve had stored away because they haven’t fit in a while and they’re fitting perfectly now! Woot!! Back to Zumba tomorrow ...9 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes. 2 mile run and then a 2 mile walk. First day of half marathon training for me.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes.
As far as the question goes I am looking forward to going to an amusement park with my niece. We are going on Monday. I didn't go last year because I was scared that I wouldn't be able to ride any of the rides due to my weight.
Has anyone noticed their Fitbit being off on calories for exercise today? I usually feel that mine is pretty spot on but today it gave me just over 1000 calories for an exercise that burned 615 last time and the time before that it was like 580...all speeds and time were similar, weather was similar and I was on the same trail.6 -
Pass Day #3. I don’t have a succinct explanation for today, but the important part is that I’m completely confident I’ll be back on track tomorrow.
My NSV was the strength I had on my bike trip last week. I was sick for 8 weeks straight this winter (broke a rib coughing) and then another 3 weeks in late May/early June. Everyone in my house got sick, but for a MUCH shorter period. Even my daughter, who had been undergoing chemo treatments at the time, got over the same illness weeks before I did. I lost confidence completely in this body of mine. My husband bought me an ebike for this bike trip because it seemed impossible that I would be able to keep up with our group. Training for the trip went surprisingly well and I started thinking maybe I didn’t need the ebike, but I didn’t want to be wrong and hold everyone up, so I took it. My ebike weighs a good 20lbs more than a hybrid. So by riding my ebike powered off, I was actually riding harder than everyone else. I am HAPPY with my body again.
PS I mentioned my daughter’s illness once before, but for those who don’t know, her cancer is cured now and she is fine.13 -
So inspirong to read everyone's NSVs!
Yes to all 3 today. Ran 3 miles this morning.
My NSV is being able to run 10 miles this past Saturday after not having run more than 5 miles in a day for almost two months. It proves how much stronger I've gotten to be able to jump right back into double-digit mileage.12 -

7/15
Exercise-Yes, 2 mile walk.
Calories-Yes
Tracking-Yes, I’m still focusing on entering foods before I eat them in an effort to track more accurately.
4 pass days
NSV is that the summer clothes that were a bit tight last year fit so much better this year. I get a big smile on my face when i put on my cute new clothes that are so much smaller than what I wore before. I’ve also noticed better stamina while out walking and the elliptical seems easier lately.12 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes 45 min spin class
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
My NSV is watching my endurance increase and being able to push myself further than ever before in spin class. I surprised myself today and it felt good.9 -
I love reading everyone's NSVs!!
My daily report:
Exercise: 90+ minutes of walking and horseback riding before breakfast
Tracking:good
Calories: under my limit9 -
Yes x 3 for Monday
Love NSV day! Mine is that i was recently bummed that i haven't seen much scale progress even though ive been really on top of everything calorie and workout wise.
Last weekend i dug up old measurements, both from before i started actively trying to loose weight years ago and also from three years ago when i was getting serious.
Im thrilled that even though im 15 lb over my lowest historic weight, im much smaller inches wise! Ive lost a ton of inches overall since i started taking fitness seriously. For me it doesn't get better for a NSV than that...all i have is NSV lol!12 -
I got a bit lazy with my tracking yesterday, so am making this pass day #3
NSV, a couple of friends who I dont see often telling me how good I look, moving from being able to run for a minute at a time to over 40 minutes and, the most important one to me, starting to quite often like what i see in the mirror
Great to read everyone else's NSVs too, you're all awesome!12 -
7/15/2019
Exercise: Yes, 31 minutes of walking, 27 minutes of gym cardio (combination of stepper and stationary bike).
Calories: Yes, barely.
Tracking: Yes
For whatever reason, today was a tough day to stay motivated. It's so easy to get back into bad eating habits (eating when not really hungry) and I almost slipped today. I managed to stay on track and even got to the gym tonight. Not an overall active day (6K steps), but I averaged over 15K per day this weekend, so I can't feel bad. I just need to stay focused and the scale will go my way.9 -

07/12 - 333.6 - I am so excited! I'm a school administrator and have been off work for the summer since June 7th. When I weighed in on 6/8, I was 349.6. One of my goals this summer was to kick my exercise and good eating habits into high gear. Here I am barely over a month later and I'm down 16 lbs! I'm keeping my calories to 2,000 most days; if I do go over, then I exercise longer to ensure I have a deficit. The biggest change is that I've been doing a LOT of walking. I exercise 7 days a week, where my 1 rest day is just a 30 minute easy walk. The other days I'm averaging over 70 minutes of exercise per day. Eating out is almost non-existent...too much salt. I finally found the right combination of food, exercise, and sleep that works best for my body.

I was so happy to read this; it's just so motivational to see hard work paying off in both scale and non-scale victories. Congrats.
If you can keep banking those deficits day after day, it really pays off. I plugged your data into a BMR (basal metabolic rate) calculator and you're probably burning 3500 calories per day with that level of exercise, plus or minus. If you can continue to eat at ~2000 calories per day, that's a weekly 10,500 calorie deficit, which happens to exactly equal 3 lbs. You losing 3 lbs per week hasn't been a fluke, it's been your hard work.
Is your weight loss going to be a straight line? No, not a chance, as the next few days of your log proved. But in the long run, calorie deficits pay off.
Congrats!

July 15
Ex:5 min chest cold
Under by 130! & ALL healthy!
Tracked all.
NSV: although the scale is being a pest, I realized I was walking around in a tucked in sleeveless tank top & my skinny jeans with NO self-consciousness. It’s taken awhile, but I’ve accepted my body & am so grateful for it even if I have a couple of things I sometimes wish were different!
NSV: calmly looked & reflected in all my food & exercise data to see why scale keeps going up- figured it out. I’m exercising 200-300 calories less now than before I got sick. Explains a lot. The NSV was I cremates a plan to assess on July 15 & to diet if I was over 155. I did that. Not easy, but my NSV is I did it, returning to my successful habits.
