What's Your Most Recent NSV

Realizing this week that my waist has returned after all these years....

20 push ups!!! I did 20 push ups, like full ones on my toes yesterday. In 3 sets...10, 6, and 4. This is a big thing for me since I had shoulder surgery in 2019 and hadn't been able to do push ups.

I can sit indian-style/criss-cross applesauce/pretzel-style (whatever you refer to it as)

I can comfortably sit in a chair that was too tight fitting (hip-wise) that I couldn't a few months ago

Shirts that were once too tight on me are now so baggy that I should probably stop wearing them.

Same. I was heading out the other day and haphazardly grabbed a "comfortable" shirt. When I saw my reflection in the mirror later, I realized I should no longer wear it out of the house as it absolutely hangs off me (and not in a good way!)

Congratulations to you and continued success!

I hit my first small weight loss goal on 7/12 BUT then I want off the rails with over eating for an entire week and didn't track anything. I was feeling super disappointed in myself but watched a YouTube video by Jordan Syatt and he basically says, you can't "ruin" your progress unless you stop completely. He motivated me to stop feeling upset with myself and to get back on track this week. I did just that and when I weighed in today, I was only 1lb up from my 7/12 weigh-in. I thought it would be MUCH higher. Though I talk about my weight here, my NSV is that I stopped feeling hopeless over how I ate the week before and dusted myself off, and got back up and to it this week! Super proud of that, because in the past I would have just let that week turn into a month or several, or just stopped completely.

I went to a grand reopening last night which meant there was LOTS of delicious food out. I had gone out to eat before arriving and wasn't hungry at all. In old days, I would still eat stuff because it looked so yummy, but last night, I ate one cherry and walked away. It felt so good to stay away!

I wore a sports bra that was too small 6 months ago. It's probably not really a great cut for me - now looks a little big in some parts, but feels fine and was very comfortable. I'm glad I can get some wear out of it anyway.

I have check bones again.

I'm 50 years old, and yesterday was the first time since my 20s that I could take my shirt off at the beach without feeling embarrassed. Also, I was trying on some old clothes, and I was able to fit into a really nice shirt and pants I own for the first time in well over ten years. I plan on wearing them to a party this weekend, and to be completely vain and shallow, I'm looking forward to hearing everyone I haven't seen in over a year comment on how much weight I've lost! (About 40+ pounds... not nearly as much as some people here but a lot for me.)
