What's Your Most Recent NSV

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.

Did my fastest 5k tonight in a treadmill workout!

I feel like a moron posting this but on the leg press machine I noticed I had a dark smudge on my calf. I figured it was from the stair treadmill or different equipment. I tried to rub it away unsuccessfully and it turned out to be a calf muscle shadow!

Nothing moronic about that - I've had similar.
