What's Your Most Recent NSV

Although I've only lost 3lbs in the last six weeks I took measurements today and have lost another 2.5 inches total during that same time. More than half of it was from the waist. I've also been consistent with my exercise routine the last couple of months so it's nice to see that it is making a difference.

I haven't craved or eaten chocolate for several days, also I used my mini stepper today and felt like giving up after 20 minutes because my inner thighs were aching but I carried on for my usual 30 minute stint. I was tired too so, I'm pretty darn proud of myself! I find motivating myself to exercise easy but the last few months I was finding it difficult to motivate myself to eat healthy, it was a real struggle but I was doing it. It has seemed easier over the last few days, I have got my mojo back!

Well, this is probably more a reflection of bad patterns in the past, but I made a box of mac&cheese which I normally just eat the whole thing. Last night, I made sure I had enough calories left to do so, but instead, I only had 2 (of the 3 servings) and put the rest back. I still felt full. Perhaps I eat past the point I should and I'm learning how to look for that. Logging food definitely helps me! I was very proud of myself for putting some back Today, I had a date to go walking with a friend, but she cancelled. I considered skipping it, but went ahead and did it anyway. Feeling motivated

I hit the 2 million step mark just now... since January 27th

Fitting into jeans easily. That I wasn't able to four months ago.

Had to bite the bullet and go down to medium boxers yesterday. Some of my favorite pattern ones that are no longer available are XLs that look like diapers on me now. The Ls will be kept for PJs going forward. Can’t complain to much amazed a little that I’ve made it to this point, but will miss my camel 🐫 patterned XL boxers that were traditionally worn on Wednesday’s 🥲

My 'skinny clothes' storage crate is down to a single pair of pants that I can almost wear (so close), while my 'fat clothes' bin is full. Going to need to decide whether to give those away or hang onto them but that is a decision for another day

GET RID OF THEM, AND NEVER LOOK BACK. Keep you eye on the prize of smaller sizes, feeling healthier and looking good.

If you break it down your "just 3 lbs." equals 12 sticks of butter that you melted off your body. Remember the scale is only a TOOL to use not to give power to. Keep up the good work! Be proud of your efforts no matter how small you think they are. Love the non-scale victories also, don't you.

My recent NCV i have managed to accomplish a 4 minute plank, working towards 5 minutes, adding 15 seconds every Monday. NEVER did i think i could do 4 minutes.

When I started seriously logging in 2018 I wore size 16 jeans. Now I'm wearing size 12. They're so loose they only stay up because of my belt, worn tightly. When stores reopen here, I'm shopping for size 10 jeans!

I can button up my work vest over my stomach.

After a tough workout this morning, I decided to walk to Starbucks (2.5 miles roundtrip). I now have amazingly big blisters on my feet, but I did it without passing out. The last 1/4 mile was more like a hobble, but that's ok

I have lost almost 50 lbs and have been doing the Sidney Cummings Challenges (on my second month now), I hated doing planks with just a sports bra because I had all this loose skin hanging down from my stomach, while planking. Well, yesterday was plank time again (and it is getting warmer so no T-shirt) and I noticed that there was a lot less loose skin "hanging" down. Yeah for staying consistent.

A1C of 6.1 yesterday. First time it's been that low in several years, and I was 40-50 pounds lighter then, so I'm thrilled that my new routine is giving me the lab results that I need!
