Having to get my glasses adjusted because they were falling off my face18

Going on vacation to a warm locale and thought I’d buy a couple extra pairs of shorts. I ordered a pair online, size 8, which fit perfectly. I went shopping today and got another one, size 8, of a different brand, which also fit fine. Although I have taken in the waistbands of 2 or 3 of my size 10 jeans, but I wouldn’t have thought I’d gone down an entire size. Still don’t—vanity sizes and all. My other shorts are size 10 and aren’t yet lose enough to bother to take in. Come to think of it, my size 10 swimsuits are getting a touch big. I weighed ~10-15 less than now, back when I previously wore size 8 clothing. Single digit clothing—it’s been a long time…18

I did yoga last night after not working out for a few weeks. I felt so refreshed and energized. It reminded me why working out is important, and encouraged me to stay the course17

Winter and snow at my favorite hiking spot has stopped my weekly hikes with my sister. We always took our progress photos in beautiful spots along the trail. Yesterday, we walked on a trail in a city park area and finally, after almost four weeks, took progress pictures. I was in a heavy 2X sweatshirt and blue jeans so I didn't expect much. I looked at the pictures today and what did I see? Someone who fits in with average folks. Nothing out of the ordinary. Definitely not a person that would be immediately noticeable because of my weight. I can't wait to stand in the front row in group pictures. I'm thrilled to be one of the crowd!!24

While the scale hasn’t been moving so much in the past month- just bouncing around between the same 3-4 lbs- the size 8 jeans I bought in December as my next goal jeans are slowly getting better fitting. Still a little tight to wear out of the house, but almost there!12

My NSV today is that my husband and I have completed week 7 of an 8 week program! With no missed days, no injuries, and even doing doubles some days!! 💪💪
It was so hard to work out today, I am hitting a motivation wall lately! My husband has had to drag me kicking and screaming (not literally, but close - he is truly a superhero to me) to the workout room, but I always am happy and relieved to have worked out. But! I saw a cool article today that talked a way to re-find motivation, that some may appreciate:
https://theconversation.com/lost-your-motivation-to-work-out-heres-why-and-how-to-get-back-on-track-148402
It talks about it's easier to stay motivated when you think things like, 'I am an exerciser' instead of 'I am a person who exercises'...like, fitness as a part of my identity and not just a thing I do. I will be trying out that mindset for a bit to see if that helps with this motivation rut I am in 🤞🤞9 -
Recognizing that I'm having appetite/craving signals because (for a variety of reasons) I'm feeling unusually fatigued, so my body is seeking energy (calories). I haven't decided exactly what to do about that . . . but it's an explicit decision, which seems like a psychological win, to me.13

Last weekend I clipped my toenails standing on the back porch. Just... bent down and there I was! right up against them!
No contortions, no gymnastics. No lifting of leg on one side onto chair. Just... swoop! clip! Done!

Beat my 1.5 mile time. 15 minute 10 seconds. Going to try to keep this pace until I can do it without feeling tired. My try to keep this pace for 1.75 miles instead of 1.5. Still thinking about it.16

Last night I had to attend a hybrid meeting for a volunteer organization. Without thinking (and because I was running late), I positioned myself in full gaze of the webcam. When I looked over at the screen, I actually liked the way I looked on camera. As a person who would shy away from photos (not to mention video), this was a true NSV.25

I have two this week! One is that I was stretching and was able to hook my elbows against the back of my knees. On a semi-related note, I've also been taking my dogs for semi-regular walks again now that it's warmed up.
The other victory was that I was really hungry and wanted pizza. So, instead of going to the store and getting a pizza that would have blown my calories, I made my own pizza (including the crust!) that was delicious and fit in my calorie budget for the day ^_^17 -
I actually put on a pair of low rise boot cut size 6 jeans (non-stretch) from my closet. Zipped them up too! I can't wear them though because of my flabby belly hangs over! But I still looked really good in the mirror.15

I tracked everything I ate today, even though I binged22

Not immediately recognizing myself in a photo, LOL!!!15

I looked at security footage of me having a mishap this morning at work and for the first time noticed the muscle in my arms, shoulders, chest, and upper back!15

I don't post stuff very often on the open feed. I mostly comment on my friends successes and send messages. But I decided it is time to post something for all. I have been a member here at MFP since Feb 2013 and to the best of my recollection I have only missed three days of logging in. I have had much success and many failures while here. I often say to my friends that I am an expert at losing weight, but I'm even better at gaining it back. I have been doing very well for the last 6 months or so. My motivation is strong and I am being successful. In January I had a great month of losing weight. February was not so good. My exercise burns and calorie consumption in February were similar to January. But the scale did not budge. So the other day I decided to try on a pair of Jeans I bought several years ago and have only worn about 5 times. They fit perfectly. No even a bit too tight. I decided to buy a pair with a two inch smaller waist to have as my goal jeans. Brought them home, tried them on and they buttoned relatively easy. Maybe a bit tighter than I like, but definitely a pair that I could wear. Holy crap. They were a waist size I haven't worn in 35 years or more. I decided to measure my waist. Even though I hadn't lost 1 pound in February my waist was down an inch and a half from my January measurement. I then decided to try on my goal shirt. It fit perfectly. No pulling at the buttons when I sat down. Unbelievable. Three huge NSVs even though I had no movement of the scale. I know we all want to see the scale number drop, but there are other things that indicate we are being successful. Here's to continued success for me as well as all the MFP members.43

I was training a new employee today. We were chit chatting about random stuff and at one point she was trying to describe a friend from college. She actually used the words "skinny like you" to describe this person. She had no idea how hard I have worked to get to the size I am and to be told I was skinny (like it was normal to use that word to describe me) made me feel fabulous.25

Hey all! I love reading these NSVs
Yesterday was, without a doubt, a bad day. I couldn't even remember all of the things I ate, and I was so so uncomfortable when I was in bed. Rolling around in pain, wishing for a massive fart or vomit or something to take away the pain. Where's the NSV?? I realized today that yesterday was my first binge day that I have had in all of 2022!!! I used to have a binge day every other day, then down to once a week, then down to once a month...and before you know it, with a lot of work and fixing my relationship with food, I've gone more than two whole months!!
I guess this opened my eyes too, to see what I am capable of. Perhaps I can go three months! But really, fixing my relationship with food and breaking some of my old habits from childhood are a big part of this. I am so happy!29 -
I'm in size 14 pants! Vanity sizing for sure since some of the other size 14's are way too tight, but the ones I have on fit perfectly. What!!! And I look down at my newly polished toenails that were so easy to paint. While the weight loss has slowed a bit, my body is responding in other ways.17

I've had a lot of stressful things thrown at me in the last month or so. It's been a *kitten* month. Anyway, I just realized that NOT ONCE have I sat down with a bag of chips or crackers or even chocolate to deal with it. The farthest I've gone down this road is, "I don't want to eat veggies right now, I really want some salt" and then proceeded to have a less-than-healthy snack that was weighed out and was within my calorie goal.
As a lifelong stress eater, this is a big deal. This gives me hope for future maintenance.27
