What's Your Most Recent NSV

Walked for an hour with lil to no pain in back. Knees took a beating though!!! Can’t win!! Got 12000 steps today wowza!!!

My waist was under 27 inches yesterday when I measured. Didn't think it'd ever get that narrow.

Went to sports orthopedist today. Last time I saw him was seven or eight years ago and I was well over 220.

Stripped off my jacket so he could look at my shoulder, and he just all of a sudden blurted out, “Damn! You’re fit!”

I’m going to hug that one to me for a long time to come, since it was totally unsolicited, unexpected, and -apparently - very sincere.

I think that’s one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me.

A woman at the gym came up to me this morning and said, “Don’t take this the wrong way because you’ve always been a beautiful woman but you look amazing, I can tell you’ve lost weight.”

I was somewhat disappointed to find that today's parkrun course was particularly soggy, muddy, slippery and generally difficult to wade through.

I was not surprised to discover that I did not beat last week's time

However, apparently my son and I achieved a new PB for that course

They say that every cloud has a silver lining . . .

Zipped up an old winter coat today.

I love this.

I had the same thing happen a month or so ago. I have an old coat I've had for (not really saying how many) years. but it was before the millennium changed. Way before. I tried to consign it a couple times, but since it was suede, nobody wanted to do it. I kept trying to figure out what to do with it because it's kind of a nice coat.

On a lark, I took it out and put it on. Oh my! I've worn it a few times, but only when it's cold and not raining.

Went through my closet today and 90% of my jackets and coats that didn't fit when I was obese, are now too big and baggy. Boxing them up for the Salvation Army.

Today's NSV: Bought a size large t-shirt from the Ben and Jerry's factory gift shop back in November only to realize when I got home that it was either labeled wrong or every other large t-shirt I've ever owned was sized wrong. Anyway, it didn't fit---but today it fit me beautifully.

Every few weeks, I visit my parents for the weekend. While there, I use a dressing gown that dates from my late teens, it was oversized at the time. Over the years this robe had gotten tighter and tighter, clearly too small.
But the last few visits, it didn't feel too small anymore and I can still breathe while wearing it
Next step: making it feel oversized again

This is both scale and nonscale but I'm going for it because it blew my mind.

I am the same weight today as the day I started my current job nineteen months ago, with a rollercoaster of fluctuations in between.

My overall bodyfat is down by 6%.

One of those everything changes and nothing changes moments. So motivating!

I realised on the bus today that I am no longer being embarrassed by the fact that no one will sit beside me except as a last resort (because I used to take up my seat and part of theirs). I used to be the last one to get the seat next to me filled and then once there was another free seat the person next to me would more often than not move to it. I understood completely but it was horrible that I couldn't fit in just my seat. Also if there was only an aisle seat for me then I would have half my bottom hanging over the edge so I didn't crowd the window sitter out too much. But then when people went to get off the bus they had to shove past my large body. Slowly things changed without me even noticing until today when I realised that there were empty seats all around me and someone came and sat down beside me. I'm fitting within my seat now and only my seat and the person didn't mind sitting beside me. It's been like that for a while but I didn't realise until today.

Another thing that happened to me was that I finally reached the halfway point and my ticker is bang on half way! I was so excited to see that!

Size 2 jeans! When I started in August, I was a size 14 in the same brand 🤯🤯🤯

I can name a few!!

I realized simple everyday tasks are becoming easier such as carrying the groceries upstairs!

Pants that used to fit suddenly are to big, even though the scale has stayed the same (this slightly annoys me though haha)!

At work I can bend, squat and move with ease.

People at work are commenting on my appearance, saying I am looking smaller

I can lift heavier weights and do longer more intense workouts!

I started this journey last year and my weight loss has been very slow. I have lost about 35 lbs over the year. That is because I LOVE food lol and I love weight lifting. My body composition is changing but the scale is stalled. I am hoping once my hormone fluctuations settle down this month I will see that scale dip again.

I still have 30 lbs to go!

I went to a very smart boutique today, where a lot of the dresses are one size because they don't make a huge number of them. I fit into everything I tried on, meaning it's pretty safe to assume I'm average sized right now.
