What's Your Most Recent NSV

Not sure this counts as NSV as it has to do with numbers, but yesterday when I finished my food diary, MFP calculated that if every day were like this one, in 5 weeks I'd be 197 lb. As in, UNDER 200 LB! As in, onederland!! (Yesterday was an anomaly because I went skiing, but still...)26

My most recent nsv... I'm having kidney surgery on the 31st and the 2nd of February (two on the same kidney) for kidney stones, and saw my surgeon for the initial consult. He told me I was lucky I was "thin" as it would be easier for me AND for him, no excess fat to cut through I guess. I was like... Who? ME? THIN??? Yeah, I've lost over 60 pounds since I started my journey, but when I look in the mirror I still see an overweight gal. No, I'm not overweight anymore, but that's what I see! 😂🤣😂26

Ok, this is totally ego ego ego.
I was riding my bike home from a “muscle madness” class after dark.
I’m stopped on a side alley, waiting to cross a busy street. It’s fairly dark, bike has LEDs twinkling like a mobile disco, and I’m in skin tight leggings with a hoodie, poised to shoot across the intersection.
Pickup truck goes by slowly, and a young man hangs his head out the passenger window and wolf whistles.
I look up and start laughing my *kitten* off, just in time to see his look of utter horror when he sees I’m old enough to be his grandma. I could hear his friend laughing helplessly, too.
Methinks he’ll be hearing about that for years to come.37 -
I have been absolutely terrified to get in a swimsuit to join the water aerobics class at my gym. I've seen too many people who have laughingly posted photos of older heavier women in locker rooms and in swimsuits to feel comfortable. So, I haven't been in a pool for probably 10 years or better. This morning, I went! I slayed that dragon that I had been avoiding for soooo long. It felt wonderful. Going back next week.29

Body dismorphia takes quite awhile to get over.7 -

No no no no. Don’t feel like that!!!!!!! No one’s even thinking about you, I promise!
They sometimes teach kids swimming lessons in the corner of our pool during aquafit classes. A woman went stupid crazy on a mom for filming her son’s lesson, because she thought the woman was filming her. I felt so bad for the mom.
There was one big deal about such a thing several years ago, but surely no one does that.
I am not comfortable in bathing suits and haven’t been since a bikini top burst open in the pool at band camp and showed it all. 😬. Never mind the weight issue!
I finally realized yoga gear is great for aquafit. It’s cute, washes up super well, doesn’t bag, great support for the girls, doesn’t “billow”, the high waist holds it all in and reveals not so much belly between waistline and bra top, and bestest of all, ya don’t have to worry about a bikini line, if ya get my drift.
Check out a company like Yoga Democracy, and look at their shorts and matching bra tops. PERFECT for water aerobics.
I also order Champion bike shorts and use those with a yoga top, too. They wash up well.

NSV… this is one IFYKYK kind of thing, I was with my husband at the grocery store this morning and he ran into an acquaintance. It’s hard to understand if you never been there, but my NSV is I did not want to disappear. I can think of times he ran into someone and I was just so embarrassed to exist. Like I said If you know, you know. Everyone won’t get it.
Second NSV is I’m currently wearing a children’s hoodie, like a little girls hoodie I got out of the children’s section at the store. It’s crazy. There was a time I would just get the biggest size Walmart carried and hope for the best.
Guys… just keep going. One good choice after the next…19 -

I second this idea! I gave up on traditional swimsuits a long time ago. I could never find anything that supported the girls well enough, so sports bras and yoga tops have been the norm for me for awhile. For bottoms, I've used leggings, bike shorts, and swim skirts. At some point I realized that regardless of how comfortable I am with my body, I'm NOT comfortable running around in public in the equivalent of my underwear. Also, I'm a skin cancer survivor, so sometimes I just want more coverage from the sun.
@DawnLindley00 wear whatever you feel comfortable in. There are no rules, really.3 -
Just a couple of hints for the women that want better covering swimwear for aquafit, or any other reason.
Have a look at triathlon swim wear.
That was my first choice when I started aquafit back in 2009. I had this fantastic retro black suit with a zip up front, high round neckline elbow length sleeves, and legs that were about 6” long.
The only thing wrong with it was it was high Lycra so lasted less than a year with 3 x week usage. Designed more for fresh water use.
My next suits were pro training suits made of mainly polyester.
They are still in good shape today with no fade or stretch. Probably a good solid 6 yr use.
Another alternate is Burkini swimwear (Amazon has a good selection). This is swimwear developed for Muslim women’s modesty requirements, but is great for covering any woman’s body. There are some very nice styles including ones that are Rash Guard to prevent sun burn. Great for those who love snorkeling in the Caribbean too.
Just alternates to gymwear because I tried it and found it unsuitable, it didn’t wear well and was too heavy.
Cheers, h.12 -
I crossed my legs!!! I gained over 150 lbs as an adult, and there are so many things that I can't do anymore. I'm down almost 70 lbs since August, and yesterday I CROSSED MY LEGS! Thought I was going to cry in public I was so happy. ✨️🙌20

"In two weeks you'll FEEL IT......" Its been just over three weeks of regular vigorous exercise. WOW! I really feel the difference! I ran for the bus the other day and my heart didn't run out of my chest screaming in protest!! Heartbeat stayed strong and steady. I'm not out of breath after my workouts, my resting heart rate is slower and I sleep much better. Knowing my organs and the synchronicity of my body is working SO much better is all the motivation I need to go the FULL distance! 😊11

I got two climbs at my normal climbing graded higher than I've managed before. (This gym has 5 buckets of grades, easy; intermediate; hard; very hard; and crank.) These climbs were very hard (which is 6c to 7a font grading, or v5 to v6 in the v scale.) There's no way I'm a v6 climber, so my best estimate is they were v5, but more likely mis-graded v4s.8

I jogged on the treadmill. Not walked..... JOGGED. I haven't jogged on anything since 2010. I was able to go for 5 minutes at 4.5. That is a huge NSV for me.30
