My most recent NSV success is having to purchase smaller undergarments. I definitely spoiled myself there.11

This is subtler but huge for me. Two nights ago, I made brownies, because we all needed a little special lift, and having had a tooth pulled a few days ago, that was a soft treat.
I ate half one that night.
I ate half one the next night.
I may or may not have one tonight.
This is a HUGE difference from before I started this because then I would have eaten half the pan that night and then the rest the next morning and felt sick because of the compulsion to eat it if it was there.
I don't feel compelled to have it just because it's there.29 -
Half the pan? Duffer.

I've actually never gotten over the feeling of eating something because it's there. I still do it so something like that is seriously a nsv in my eyes.
I hope they were at least big brownies
(I really need to go through this thread more. It's a good feeling to see people's accomplishments.)11 -

That was the word I was looking for.

I've been waiting to lose enough weight for a certain dress to look good. I wore it today, but it still didn't look good because it's now a bit too big....22

Yesterday the husband did a fireman carry because I lazily asked him to carry me to bed! He had zero problems! 5'3" 150 ish lbs.
This is a huge NSV for us, because in 2003 when I was morbidly obese 3 (270 pounds) I was in the garage with him in our new home and I had a grand mal seizure. He felt helpless because he couldn't bring me inside, or call 911. I was pretty much banned from entering the garage for a full 2 years.
He was definitely scarred from this, and I continued to have seizures for 2 years, then they subsided. But now, he knows that if something happens he can carry me and that is a huge load off of his mind!!31 -

Good job! Seriously, one of my biggest fears ar my highest weight was needing medical help, because as you said… my husband could not have carried me. You’ve done amazing and I’m sure your husband is incredibly proud of you, too! I am glad your seizures have subsided.6 -
I recently returned to MFP after realizing I had gained quite a bit of weight--just no longer "bothering" to log my food. Anyway, I'm back and now log absolutely everything. I have 2 6-year-old granddaughters (cousins, not twins) who were both at my house. They were writing like crazy and I thought they were playing school, like they usually do. Then I overheard them discussing what they had for lunch and how you spell pizza and realized they were trying to log their food! I love that they already have a feel for being accountable and watching what you put in your mouth. Too bad I didn't learn that a LONG time ago!7

I had a doctor appointment a couple days ago and she never even hesitated about using the regular blood pressure cuff, instead of the larger one.10

I'm needing to refurb my wardrobe now. There's a sizeable gap in my pants around my waist now (around 10cm) and I'm now actually able to fit into a size L (for some brands). Last time I fit into a size L was back in high school.
Another couple of NSVs are that I'm now at the lower end of the pre-diabetic blood sugar range (estimated HBA1c of 5.8%). Nine weeks ago, I was at 10%. And I've gone from being Grade 1 hypertensive (150/100 first thing in the morning) to having a regular/optimal blood pressure level now (this morning 100/64).14 -
Just found this thread. Got a few NSVs that have all kind of popped up together.
I found a pic earlier that was taken previously, and was mortified at how round my face was. It's a stark difference and a real motivator to stay on track. We don't always see the gradual changes happening day to day when we look in the mirror...
I got lab work done and got the results the other day, and numbers that were way out of range are getting back to normal without the use of any medications. My doctor wanted to put me on things to control blood pressure and cholesterol and such, I told him no, I wanted to try to get it under control with diet and exercise. I think it's working.
I bought some pants for a road trip in early September. I felt like they were on the verge of being a little too close fitting at the time. I found them while digging through my dresser today, tried them on and they fall off of me. Even with a belt, I think they'd look loose and bad. I sort of expected that because my t-shirts are all baggy now and I've had to tighten my belt with the jeans and shorts I wear most days, but I was a little surprised at just how loose they actually were.
I can totally relate to the thing about eating half the pan, one of my biggest struggles is still that I don't have to be hungry to eat, and I don't stop when I'm full. It has taken a degree of willpower that I didn't know I had within myself to get past it.

Gone through a complete heart evaluation due to chest pains, when climbing the staircase, of all things. Both parents died of weak hearts and diabetes and I’ve had an illness in the past that generally causes heart conditions, so I figured I’d do the entire gamut to be the safe side.
The final “visit” was a phone review and evaluation. (Everything fine, just chalked up to muscular.)
The PA was asking about if I exercised and I replied yes. “Tell me what you’ve done today”.
I reeled off the list, which included several long walks, personal training session, a cardio class and a hot yoga class.
She then asked me what I ate and I told her I was high protein and low carbs and fat, and could provide a complete spreadsheet of calories and workouts.
Absolute dead silence.
I heard her slam some papers on her desk and then she said,” well, I guess we don’t need to worry about you, then.”
She did ask for the spreadsheet. I don’t think she believed me, lol. Sometimes, I don’t even believe myself.

Back on track after covid was such a great excuse to drink too much and not exercise.
#1- Just hit normal BMI.
#2- Looked in the mirror and remembered what my body really looks like without too much fluff covering it. "Oh, hello body, there you are".
#3- Realized that my diet in the last few years was really not far off. I LOVE vegetables. But the poor decisions of drinking too much and exercising too little was what was derailing me. Now that I have it all put back in order I feel so good being in control and back to myself.
#4- Touched my toes, for a minute. Now to keep on stretching.
#5- After calculating all my data in a spreadsheet for almost 2 months (nerd alert), I am very, very close to that "in 5 weeks..." weight from 5 weeks ago. Like, almost spot on.
Still have 20 pounds to go to goal, but so happy with the process.17 -
In January of 2021 I weighed 340 lbs. I had SADI-S surgery at the end of August 2021. Yesterday December 10, 2022 I ran two 5Ks.16
