Before starting my journey, I had NO idea what pant size I was...maybe 26W? IDK. But I had a baby shower to go to the other week and had to buy jeans... I was "smaller" than I thought and grabbed a bunch of 18 pants but all were too big. I ended up getting two pairs of 16. Anyway... now those jeans are loose and I will be jean shopping again! I hate the idea of spending money AGAIN but it feels darn good!
Oh and my VO2 Max level went up over 5 points! I noticed I have been tolerating exercise much better lately and sure enough, that would explain why!! YAY!!24 -

How much is ur VO2 level at the moment? For me there was big drop last year after I sustained the shoulder injury (from 43 to 34) but now I’m getting better at it and notched up around 4 points 😊.. currently it stands around 38.

I spent last week at home on the couch because of a cold, but yesterday I went back to the gym. That's an NSV in itself, but the real one is this: my first thought when I walked in the gym was, "It feels good be MYSELF again!" I love that my true vision of myself now includes going to the gym. I truly don't feel like me when I don't go. It was also nice to realize that I never, ever want to go back to sitting on the couch all the time. That used to be my life. Not anymore.22

I first started losing with MFP in May 2017 and was around 60 pounds down by May 2018. Kept it off until the lockdowns and gym closures began, which brought be back up by 25 pounds by this past holiday season. Having finally had enough of feeling out of control and I resolved to get back on it and am back down by 10 now. Actually though, I lost those 10 in the first 2 months and have spent the past month stalled out (the reasons behind that are for another forum).
The NSV is simply that I'm checking in now, having caught back up with everybody else's NSVs and hoping to jump back into the community here in a more meaningful way. And in fact I've been here longer than you all know because I've been making my way back through the last 40 or so pages of this thread, and just reached the end today. Here's to more scale and non-scale victories for us all in the coming months.14 -
The NSV I had today was being able to fit into my size medium shorts. Before losing weight, I couldn't even get the shorts pass halfway up my thighs, now it fits like a glove. Although the waist is now looser. I'll probably have to replace the elastic.10

This is my latest NSV:
This is the very first ring my BF gave me, at our first anniversary I think, more than 15 years ago. And it fits again!
While I was obese, I had a standard ring size, but I'm back fitting into my tiny rings again (46/47mm, UK size H/I, US size 4) 😁29 -
Last night I grabbed a pair of shorts from my drawer and threw them on--and realized they were pretty baggy. When I bought them, I was wearing them as underwear bc that's how they fit--boy-short briefs.14

At the end of autumn I took my coat to the dry cleaners and had it cleaned and the buttons re-sewen. Ever since then the coat has had a massive gap when I do it up, but this morning the gap has finally just about closed!14

Last night after church, a friend asked me how I had gotten in such good shape and complimented me on how good I looked! For the past few months he had pretty much only seen me in some kind of jacket and since I didn't wear one last night the change was more obvious I guess. Now if only a pretty lady or two and just just straight guys IRL would start noticing 🤣14

I went to the gym TWICE yesterday. I think that might be a first for me. I had gone first thing in the morning, then was working from home and finding that I just wan't being productive, so since the mental side wasn't cooperating I decided to use that time doing something physical. It was just some treadmill walking and a brief turn on the elliptical; still, according to MFP's calculations that was nearly 350 calories I wouldn't have burned otherwise.15

I painted my toenails a gorgeous blue just before I took a trip to Texas. No struggle, just lean down and paint. And then...just look at all that extra belt left over after I hooked my seat belt for the flight. I never had to ask for an extender, but I was definitely smooshed tight in the belt before I started losing weight. I'm getting there!!20

My clothes for years have been 2XL if I want it to fit, 3XL if I want it roomy (nightshirts and jackets.) Today I'm wearing a L jacket and *loving* it.27

It happened a few weeks ago and I’ve struggled to process it. Someone called me slim. This is literally the first time anyone has ever said that about me. I had no idea how to respond - whether to laugh, cry, believe them or not. I must have looked like an idiot because I think I just stared at them, not able to say anything 😂29
