To Date Your Biggest Non-Scale Victory

My biggest NSV to date is building the habit of tracking my daily nutrition and exercise here in MFP. I feel as though I’ve shifted out of the short term mindset of dieting to a lifelong approach to eating right and exercising regularly. It’s interesting that, for me, the ‘biggest’ NSV is actually a more subtle and gradual habit building. I haven’t changed as much physically as others have posted on this thread; but, I moved from an overweight BMI to the ‘normal’ range (i.e., 168 to 135). So, while it may not be as powerful an impact or result from a MFP overall perspective, it’s made a huge difference in terms of my personal well-being and ability to maintain a lifetime of health.10

I think that is a great way to look at it!3 -

Not just a great shift in mindset, but 168 to 135 is no small feat either! That is fantastic!6 -
I'm 49, and currently I wear a smaller band on my bra than I did when I was 16 and am now wearing the same size clothing I was in high school. 55 pound loss and I'm not done yet, I've got about 70 more pounds to go.10

I Also just noticed going from 161.0lbs to 147.8 put me in a healthy BMI and I felt 2 things: 1. Mad that I had been above a healthy BMI & 2. Relieved I was fully in a healthy range for BMI not just barley within healthy. I'm 13lbs down 2 months and didn't think to check BMI originally.5 -

I bought some size 14 slacks yesterday. Last time I wore 14s was 1977. May goal was to shop for clothing with joy, almost there. Still in a ? zone, but definitely NOT negative.8

For sure that would be my blood sugar, which was the reason I started losing weight in the first place. I went from borderline diabetic (officially diabetic by some measures) to middle of normal.
Congratulations on your achievement, that's no small feat!4 -
Gyms finally re-opened again today here and I was excited to book a 4pm time. Nice to be back. My non-scale victory was that I stuck to a consistant home workout program the last 2 months and had the energy to keep up wth my old gym routines:)3

my victory today is waking with my 1st alarm (extremely rare for me!) and heading straight to the gym instead of covering my head and going back to sleep.4

One of the biggest to date is having to add an extra hole to and then subsequently buying a new belt.5

Was guilt tripped into going to the gym this morning when I was grumpy and in a self loathing mood. But when I got there I made the choice to work hard until I felt proud of myself instead of doing a low effort waste time workout. Felt much better during and after. omg was immensely hard to get going when I normally would have quit. So proud of my choice.5

I went on a week-long camping trip and forgot to bring both my food scale and body scale. I normally gain weight on vacation and have often dropped-out upon returning. This time I came back a little over two pounds lighter and am back to logging. I credit my success with daily hiking, evening walks around the campground, abstaining from alcohol, IF, moderated portion sizes, and allowing some treats, including a delicious mushroom/cheese omelet and home fries at a diner one morning. It feels good knowing that I can still be successful away from home and without my usual tools.6

I think the change in my sef-esteem, mood, and outlook has been the biggest NSV for me.
I am about halfway to goal but I already have a huge bounce in my step, I am considerably more positive, happier in general and really starting to love how I am looking these days.
It feels incredible to be getting healthier and more fit.7 -
I’m able to do a lunge. At first I hated lunges and burpees equally, but now I just hate burpees! 😂3
