We just returned from a cruise and I didn't feel the need to cringe when looking through the photos afterward. I feel better in my white dressy outfits now... (Size 26 v. size 10)

I’ve been on keto 2 months now. I lost 16 lbs right away and only 2 lbs since then. I feel better and hope the weight loss continues but there are other benefits. I haven’t had a migraine in a months! I am getting us d to keto, it’s second nature now. I ready to start tweeting it to get healthier. You am so very inspired by all this great things I’ve read in this thread.12

You look fabulous! Very inspiring!4 -
Due to a family emergency today, I had to see immediate family members I haven’t seen in several years. Jaws dropped, including my mom, who used to deliberately sabotage any attempt I made to lose weight by bringing in sacks and sacks of my faves and leaving them laying around in our office kitchen or on my desk. My own fault for caving so often and so easily, but she knew damn well what she was doing. Even used to laugh and say she was jealous and would make me as big as she was.
Sometimes, you just have to put negative people(s) out of your life for your own sanity.
Life has been very joyful since I chose to do
so, and I am glad to say, the other NSV is that spending the day with them and knowing there will be more days forced upon me didn’t drive me into meltdown and stress eating.39 -

Awww ... your mom missed the sabotage boat, you're already slim and fit ... *sarcastic sniff*
I've been reading various of your posts on the forums over the last few months and you've been doing amazingly. Well done.11 -

Thanks so much. That means a lot.
I am booked for a 5:30 am class before I head back to the hospital. More to clear my head than for anything else. Funny how life changes. Clearing my head with excercise would never have been on my radar before.
Hey, that’s another NSV!!!!26 -
This weekend, I nipped up to Scotland to hike for 24 hours (about 40 miles) for charity.
Oddly, that isn't the NSV.
The NSV is that it wasn't even hard. I spent the day being annoyed by how slowly the group was walking. In the night, while everyone else hit their personal walls and commiserated and bonded over how much their feet/ankles/hips/back hurt, I sauntered along with perfectly happy feet wondering when I was going to hit mine.
Not, it turned out. I decided to keep very quiet about the fact that I could probably have walked another fifteen miles.
This is me being ridiculously chirpy about eighteen miles in, looking out over the hydro dam at Pitlochry

My most recent nsv is wearing again clothes that I put aside because they were tight on me.25

My mom got inspired on how much I've lost so far and as of yesterday decided to join me!😄 I'm not too sure if that counts as a NSV but it's astonishing to experience how much of an impact one can make by simply doing the small things. I'm so excited to see my mother embarking on a healthier journey. I truly am. 🤧27

Lots of weird little adjustments:
Well, I have to adjust my over-the-shoulder bag to make the strap shorter...again. I'd swear that the thing is just stretching out if not for the fact that it didn't stretch out at all the whole time I wasn't losing weight, lol.
My breasts are no longer filling out the cups in my bra like they used to. I'd say they're actually more comfortable now, the cups were probably a little small before. The band hasn't changed much, but I don't have much more weight to lose off my ribs anymore, so this isn't surprising.
The dress I'm wearing today has 3/4 sleeves, but now they're kind of more 7/8 sleeves, lol. Fortunately I can cuff them so they don't look like I just bought a dress with sleeves a little too short.
Found a cute dress in a size M. Sucker has zero stretch. Turns out it's from the 90's, so not as aggressively vanity-sized either. It's actually a little big, but it was so cute I bought it and wear it with a waist belt to cinch it in. Can't believe I fit in a "vintage" non-stretch dress in an M. Don't tell me the 90's is vintage now, but that's what all the listings for the brand said, lol.
Here is the dress. Sorry for the bathroom pic, it's the best mirror.

The NSV here is that one year ago, I would not have even entertained the notion, as all my "required as needed" driving was for years wrought with difficulty (getting in/out of car), discomfort, pain and diminished mobility (walking). Today, it's all systems GO!
Have been back since Saturday night. To further amplify NSV, any discomfort on this trip was of the "normal" variety, stiffness (needing to stretch legs), restroom, food and fuel breaks, just two on way to and just a couple more on return trip, mainly because it was later in day. It was great. For any in US looking for destinations National Comedy Center and Lucille Ball/Desi Arnaz Museum in Jamestown, NY are must see. The Comedy Center because it is highly interactive and features something for every taste in humor!! I may have to go back for I did not realize until home that Lucille Ball's final resting place is there.8 -
I've been cravy all day. I want to eat all the junk. I even walked to the convenience store to buy it. I came back with a protein bar and a Diet Dr Pepper. I'm calling that a win!33

@ceiswyn the only thing “nipping” in Scotland is those damn midges. Hope you avoided those. My husband came back from the “clan gathering” with an allergy to the things that took weeks to clear up. BTW, the gathering turned out to be mostly Americans, and we behaved appallingly. Talk about “ugly Americans”! What must the Scottish brethren think of us?
@RelCanonical love the cute new avatar and am liking the dress. I’m hoping your one “disagree” is either finger slippage (lord knows what feedback I’ve accidentally left myself as I doze off looking at the boards) or some old fart like me who disagrees that 90’s is “vintage”.6 -
I held a plank today for over 1 minute. I know that's not really a long time, but last week I was only doing 15 second planks. Progress!!35

Outdoor Run #2:
MUCH better than last week! I edited my running program to have 3x3min runs and 3x3min walks. Almost perfect! The runs felt great. No issues whatsoever. The biggest NSV were my times in each run interval: 7:27min/km for the first; 7:07min/km for the second and 7:19/km for the third run intervals! Better than expected!
I will do one more amendment to the program - add another run interval and then go straight into the cooldown. All in all - I am so happy with my progress! Now to work on my endurance and work toward 5 min run intervals :-D10
