Oh I forgot, I had another NSV. I'd been waiting for someone to notice/mention my weight loss (haven't been telling anyone about it other than online). My physical therapist knows that I joined a water aerobics class this month, and last week he told me to "keep it up with those classes, you're trimming down nicely!" This made me laugh a little because I had a total of 8 one-hour classes and I'm down almost 30 lbs... imagine losing close to 4 lbs every time you did a one-hour exercise class
It was still nice that someone finally commented I had started wondering if everyone I interact with regularly is blind, hahaha. So far nobody in my extended family has said a word!12 -
It’s been about 8.5 years since I first joined MFP. I was regularly on the message boards back in those days, but checked the archive and last posted in the NSV page in 2018. So here I am, 5 years later, checking in with you all that despite there being ups and downs I’ve maintained 100+ weight loss since 2017, and I’ve been back to regularly logging my calories and cutting some weight and trimming up a little around the edges. My NSV is just getting back into the swing of things - logging food, lifting weights, and fitting into some clothes that tightened up over the last couple of years. Since I was a regular on here I’ve moved twice, started 2 different jobs, and had two kids. I guess things have come in 2s the past few years.
Have a wonderful week, everyone.35 -
Awesome @rldeclercq43

At the end of 2020 I started a 2.5 year period of regaining weight. During this time, I had a couple longer periods where I was managed to stay on plan but the scale went up instead of down, despite what the tracker said should be happening. I was already struggling to keep going, and that squashed any motivation I had.
Thanks to some MFP friends, at the beginning of August I was challenged to start up again, and as of tomorrow I'll have a full month of effort in. And this time the scale is actually responding. So I guess it's more of a scale victory, but for the first time in a very long time I have hope that I've actually turned this backslide around!17 -

That sounds like a huge victory! Trusting the process and putting in the effort, even when you don't have confidence in the results, is really hard.
I had a good laugh at myself a couple weeks ago. I wasn't seeing the scale move as I thought it should and was asking myself if I should mix things up to "break the plateau". In the process of googling what to do to break a weight loss plateau I saw the definition of a weight loss plateau listed as "Little or no weight loss for 8-10 weeks". I wasn't even 10 DAYS into not seeing the scale move, so I reminded myself that I need to trust the process and keep doing what I've been doing and find joys other than scale victories in it. Hence finding this thread.16 -
Four years ago at 239 pounds I could barely walk a mile. Last night I lowered my Personal Best in the mile run to 7:13!
Last week I set a new Personal Best in my 41st 5K of 25:22!
Also completed my sixth Sprint Triathlon of the Summer, two more to go!
Life is good at 155lbs!

I went for a short walk today, 15 minutes in a local park. I noticed with astonishment that going uphill was easy, even fun. Who would have thought such a thing was possible.21

I was thinking today that these last months, even when given the opportunity or the craving for junk food, I still choose to eat at home and my train of thought is "we have protein at home" 🤣
I am only craving a specific burger with very much artery clogging fries with parmesan and bacon, but other than that I find myself saying that I just don't find an entire pizza worth it anymore. I will still eat two slices if given the choice, but I won't be going overboard like I used to.
I also found myself not wanting to waste a day lifting (I workout at home so not very straining exercises and it doesn't take me more than 30min). I want to burn the calories that I eat, but I also want my calories to turn into muscles lol
Also bought a protein powder for the first time because I wanted to up my protein intake ❤️
In general I would say I that after 5 years on MFP I am much more aware of what I consime and I am much more intuitive with my eating habits.

…and the icing on the cake, one of the kids taking the class popped up into a headstand while she was waiting her turn so, so did I. She looked at me, and I said “your grandma doesn’t do this, does she?!”
Heartfelt thanks, MFP. I couldn’t have done any of this at 222+.
This is my Five Years Since Starting treat to myself. Back for one final class this morning.24 -
I was able to put on my bee 🐝 suit and was not worried the zipper would break, there was plenty of room.14

Today I did upper body. I workout at home and I usually look in the mirror in front of me to watch my form. Today I was standing facing the wall with the mirror from the side and I looked and saw my bicep pumping and I was like, is this mine??? 💪18

Starting to genuinely not recognise myself when I see before and after photos.

Learning the difference between "satisfied" and "full" and choosing to stick with "satisfied". We had wings and fries from my favorite place for the first time in a long time. I enjoyed them thoroughly, but was not only able to stay within my calorie goal but was also not feeling the need to be parked on the couch for the rest of the night because I was so "full". Turns out that I can be "satisfied" with about half of what I used to eat.25

@jst1986 Wow your face! Your facial features are so much more visible, especially your eyes. And bye-bye double chin! I can believe that you don't recognize yourself in old photos. Great job, keep up the good work.7

Sitting in the recliner and crossing my legs. Before they were so big, swollen that I was virtually immobile. I could walk but it was exhausting and painful. Now all that is gone, even though I've only lost 71 and still have 130 to go.
Another one is finally getting energy back after leaving the gym. I think the first 6 gym weeks were fun but completely sucked the energy from me to the point I did little else. I was used to living in my recliner for over 20 years. Now this past week, I found myself busy doing all kinds of things until the evening, with very little recliner or TV involved. LOL23 -
I was at Walmart and let my kiddo pick out some candy. I grabbed a package of peanut butter m&M's for myself. I left the m&M's at the self-check and didn't buy them (apologies to the staff).20
