What's Your Most Recent NSV

I've been working the system here on MFP for over 2 months and had to make a lot of adjustments at first--too hungry, overeating as a result. After 4 weeks I realized I had over-adjusted and was stuck at the same weight. Rather than freaking out b/c I "lost" 4 weeks of work, I simply adjusted again, moderately, and figured I had learned something. Also, I did not gone over maintenance once in that month-long stall, and any day I didn't meet my goal, I just got back to it the next day. It feels like a victory to feel calm and confident that this will all work out if I have patience with myself and the process.

I went on run today that by all accounts should not have happened. I gave myself every single excuse I could today "My legs hurt from the long run yesterday" "You don't have time to run before the kids have to be up" "Ok well now you don't have time to run because you have to go to the store" "You definitely can't run now, you have a phone call that took longer than expected" "Its too hot, its the hottest part of the day" but I did it. I slogged through it and I was hot and sometimes miserable but i feel so much better now that I have gotten it done! Me 1 Me 0!32

@mkculs13 That is awesome. It is really helping me, too when I can look at my weight loss journey without bringing unnecessary negative emotion into it. Accepting that it's never going to be linear and not giving up when there are speed bumps.
My NSV is that I actually really feel like the satisfaction of staying within my calorie goal and seeing a loss on the scale is preferable to me at this moment than the escapism of eating my feelings. I'm not doing it because I am unhappy with how I look. I'm doing it because I actually feel better about myself and more in control of my life when I'm doing what is most beneficial for my health. I hope I can keep feeling this way.13 -
Got leggings at the store yesterday. Weird that I’m the smallest size, and unquestionably the smallest size they have. Used to be I would debate on the L vs. XL because I was petite but overweight. Now I’m just right in the middle of S.
Update: extra nsv, I tried a pair on, and they’re actually a bit big for leggings. I’ve sized out of big box store leggings lol.19 -
I had to tighten my belt up 1 notch... I don't see any change in the mirror so it was cool15

Wow...shopping/looking for CUTE stuff on-line and seeing the sizes extra large, large and even some mediums now and having regret that those sizes won't fit me...they are too big. Whereas for YEARS I did the same thing only for size small and medium and would have to regretfully look elsewhere because those sizes were too small, not even daring to dream that one day this would be reversed!14

On a 6 mile bike ride this morning I was riding with my 4 year old son in his trailer, hauling an extra 4 1/2 / 5 stone and my partner said "I just can't keep up with you, you didn't even hear me calling you to slow down, you are so much fitter than me"
Feeling great!!29 -
Ordered pizza. Planned on having 2 slices. It arrived 2 hours late. I'm starving! Instead of binging, at 3 slices. Crisis averted.27

I don't find that to be a victory. It seems like a design flaw. They really should last longer and not be so damn expensive.8 -
From barely able to walk last year or stand for very long because of obesity and poor circulation in my legs, to biking every day and squats / deadlifts 2-3 times a week. I'm 55 and this is today's photo of quads. last time I was able to see any muscle / vascularity in my legs was 20 years ago.

Recent NSV: I took measurements and saw the inches go down
.. I also fit an old pair of jeans that I haven't worn in a while. 21 -
Tried on last summer’s clothes and they still fit. Reminder to all to throw on your jeans and shorts every once in a while!

Wearing a super old hoodie today because my usual sweater is in the wash.
Three people commented on how slim I look.
Apparently the reason nobody said anything before really is due to how baggy the sweater I usually wear is. I am pretty lost in it these days, it's just so comfy and the pockets have zippers.18 -

I was able to hang off the pull up bar for a few seconds recently too and was extremely excited lol. It's fun! I want to someday be able to swing around like I see people do sometimes.
Congrats on your successes!14
