I am the kind of bloke that wears the same couple of outfits until they fall apart and I need new ones. This means that, though I only have limited clothing, things at the rear of drawers and cupboards tend to stay right there....
I had a sort through today and some of the shorts and jeans that were relegated to the back, because they didn't fit, finally saw the light of day for the first time in a couple of years.
Long story shorter, though many are still too tight to wear, I was able to fasten the buttons and zips!
A couple more weeks like this and my wearable wardrobe will more than double.....20 -
So it's a little TMI but I'm so happy. I was in the tub shaving and realized that I can see "down there" when I shave it now. I still have to move my stomach a bit but I wasn't able to move it enough to see in the past.20

I'm not sure this counts but the gyms are open again in NY. We got hit hard for sure. It felt really good to be making progress again this week.14

My NSV, my eating habits for two weeks. Set my mind to it and have diligently keep to higher ratio veggies/fruit vs meat. And I Cut Out 99% bread. Occasional bun if eating out, luckily only four times. And can't resist - Scale Victory too.11

Yesterday I got the “you need to buy new pants” from my husband, again. 😀 I’m throwing out my clothes as I shrink out of them so it really keeps me in check.16

I got completely drenched biking in a downpour on my way to padel this evening (around 40 min one way) But I didn’t turn around and blow it off - there were 3 other players depending on me to show up.
And while I felt complete sorry for myself I didn’t crave candy as a reward once workout was over. Instead I climbed back into my soaking wellies, cycled home and took a hot shower and had my planned post workout snack. Feels like a development in mindset! 6 months ago I would definitely have bargained with myself for a reward.20 -

Kudos on the resilience! And thank you for mentioning "padel" as this is the first I've heard of it. It sounds like a fun mix of squash and tennis!!2 -

It’s great fun and a good workout. It’s very beginner friendly as well, more so than tennis and squash I understand. It’s been surging in popularity around here the last couple of years and I started playing last fall. Highly recommend!6 -

Glad you cleared up what it is - I'm afraid I though OP had simply misspelt Paddle - lots of Paddle boarders where I live
This sounds very interesting! 4 -
I might be the the king of weird NSV's
I have another weird one. I was running and I noticed veins in the back of my fingers. It sounds gross, but I promise it wasn't. I could see Just enough to realize what was going on and only when my heart rate was up. I recently switched from my regular wedding band to one of those silicone ones because it was too lose, but I get that a lot. Like in cold weather. But this is the first time I have been able to see veins in the back of my fingers since I was a skin and bones teenager.12 -
Today I pushed back the office chair and boosted the computer on a few boxes so I can stand at work (from home) more often.17

I did up my belt on the last (tightest) hole. That's the last of the holes I had made in the belt last time I was losing weight, which did not get used until I was a bit below my current goal weight. It seems that I am that size now even though I am still 5-6 kg above that weight!11

I can’t even begin to state enough how weird of a puzzle this has been for me (and therefore how excited I am about the whole thing). I don’t know if it’s age or hormone fluctuations after 3 kids but what worked for me after child number 2 has been a total crapshoot for the last 2yrs, since having child number 3. So I guess the second NSV is that I’m not viewing these last 2yrs as a “waste” but instead I’m acknowledging the (small) progress that does exist and choosing to celebrate having finally figured out what this version of me needs.
I relate to this so hard! Over the years, I have tried eating 1000, 1200, 1500, 2200 and 2500 calories and failed each time. I finally found a daily cal intake that allows me to drop weight at a decent pace while keeping my hunger pangs in check.
Yay!! Mentally, it was harder for me to eat more and lose so slowly than it is for me now to eat less and lose at a manageable rate. Experiencing tangible success is a huge motivator!3 -
I was able to climb up to (and around) Ambrose Island in my canoe. It was about three miles up, and then back of course.
I started about 1.75 miles upstream from where I usually start, so I avoided a couple climbs and the "crowded" part of the river. It was work.32 -
I'm actually really proud of my macros today. Less than 100 grams carbs and just over 120 grams protein. Super happy about that.18

September was my 2nd highest step month this year at an avg of 12 031 steps per day.
My annual average is now hovering around 9500 - with a conscious mindset I definitely think the 10 000 steps per day average is within reach for 2020!20 -
Few for the last week:
- Logged every day
- Out minus In was +ve every day
- Average calorie deficit of 510kcal per day last week. (I'm happy if I get above 400, I'm ecstatic if I get above 500)13 -
Logging for a whole year. The good, the bad, and the ugly. No breaks, just honesty.30

I stayed within calories for 10 days straight! Being consistent has always been hard for me, and doing that for those 10 days gave me a big confidence boost and made me feel better physically. Those 10 days included my son's birthday party and having leftover cake and cupcakes sitting on the counter for a week. I had a small piece of cake at the party and another small piece a couple days later and was perfectly satisfied with that. I had some difficulty yesterday (back to school and work anxiety got the better of me) and went over budget but am trying to get back on track asap. I felt awful this morning after eating more than I needed last night so I dont think ill be doing that again any time soon!
Thanks to everyone for posting your successes! I love this thread and am always so inspired by everyone's hard work! 💕17
