Yesterday at my CrossFit training i was able to hang on for much longer in the rig. Often my hands just opens and I have to start over. That must be from losing a few kilos.

I felt very happy afterwards, it made my day.

I played an awesome basketball game tonight with the strongest player on the opposing team. We usually play really well as a pair and this was my first time playing against her. I powered through and we won🎉. I have been continuously pushing myself to work on defense which doesn’t come naturally at 5”2 and 175. (I started out as a strong shooter that just waited for the ball to come to me, but now my defense is of the strongest on the team.) But I have to say that all that running around is sure easier than it was at 200.

As an aside, today marks 1 year since I broke my ankle in 2 places, tore a bunch of ligaments and needed ankle surgery. I am so much stronger and fitter now than I was prior to my injury 💪

This past winter (Dec 2024-Feb 2025) I had to buy a new winter coat because my old one was too small to button. On a whim today, I tried on the old one (which was tight even back in January 2024), and it fits perfectly!

After 35 years…..I now own shorts and a belt. I tuck my shirts in. Down 70 lbs since August. It’s not magic and it’s not easy but I’m comfortable with my new eating and exercise habits. 30 lbs to go

My NSV is that after 6 weeks I can now comfortably take the dog on our longer walking route. She loves it and I love that I have made that progress. 😀

I bought a bikini off of Amazon on a whim because I thought it was cute & I’m going on a trip soon. When i opened it, I picked it up and immediately thought, “darn this is way too small, hopefully I can return it”. I decided to just try it on and IT FIT! Not only did it fit, I also felt SEXY AND CONFIDENT wearing it!!! Ahh I’m so excited to wear it on my trip now 🥰

I looked in the mirror and I liked who I saw.

I retired the bath sheets because a regular bath towel wraps around me now!

My belt needed two holes added; I can almost fit in the next size belt.

Since January I have lost 35 pounds and gone from 2x clothes to L/XL.

this app has been the best resource to support my calorie limit goals!!

A coworker saying they could tell I've lost weight in my face. When someone else can notice a change, it is definitely a NSV!!!

I've lost over 50 pounds and love exercise! I've done it all from a half marathon, rock climbing to yoga Depending on my weight a d fitness level I just wanted to suggest that if you are lifting weights, you may not lose pounds as quickly but you will look fab and toned! Instead of rewards every 10 pounds which may be discouraging I would suggest rewards for inch loss right now or reduced clothing sizes. My waist is 27.5 and hips are 35....my bras are too big and my weight is "stuck" at mid 130s I'm not upset but I feel ready to focus on weights training myself now! Yoga burns the inches, walking burns the fat. When I resume weights this fall....My focus will be on measurements Favourite rewards for me have been a massage at 10 pounds, fitting into my smaller clothes, breakfast or a nice dinner out, manicures.....anything at all that makes you feel special! Think about inch loss Instead though now . My original NSV I came on to post is that my loose skin I had on the inside of my elbow, the only tiny area I had any, I've noticed is GONE!! It could be all those downward facing dogs helped! 😆

I had to pull my seat closer to my steering wheel, unexpected result of not having such a big bum means I'm further back in my seat lol

What kind of yoga do you do that "burns the inches"?

KarinSanden · May 27

On Sunday I had some bread and pizza so yesterday morning the scale was up. Instead of freaking out I told myself:

"Don't I worry. I'm in control. I'm still on track. I'll just continue continue to do the right thing and results will come."

That mindset shift - I'm proud of myself.

I know its just the start of my journey, but my shirts and t-shirts feel better already, thats a win, albeit a small one

Hi! Yoga with Adriene I started a few years ago and it was difficult as a heavier person but stuck with it and now it's so much easier I should have sayed It really tones my body When I don't do it for a while notice the inch loss stops When I am disciplined and do her 30 day challenges the inches melt off quickly I have completed 5 and 4 of them twice I enjoy repeating them once because I enjoy the production so much and am currently repeating my 5th I think beginners should check them out and focus on the series that feature 20 minute workouts You don't need to join a gym to start moving and see results As you tone and lose pounds and inches you naturally gravitate towards needing more exercise to see results 😉

Don’t discount yoga. Yoga can be a terrific workout. It depends on what you put into it, same with most exercise regimens.

I do hot power yoga several times a week. “Flows” can include several pushups per series, head stands, chin stands, arm balances, balance sequences. You do one side and then repeat on the other side.

I always find it kinda cool when I do a cardio class, and they’re incorporating the same stuff we do in yoga. A burpee is just a jumpback and an extra jump. Mountain climbers- just an arm balance prep.

We have gals bringing their fit boyfriends to yoga pretty often for their very first yoga class. They saunter in confidently and knowingly, and slink out, sobered, having had their butts handed to them on a platter. It can be very entertaining.

One of our students is a former pro football player, apparently of some note (Heck if I’d know!) He’ll be the first to tell you he can’t always keep up, but he’s been coming for years.

A young instructor brought her super fit firefighter boyfriend to take her class. I swear he was crying at the end. There was definitely some moaning coming from his mat. But bless his heart, he did come back for more. True love.

I LOVED this! I've also taken hot yoga classes and power yoga, etc thru a yoga membership I once had. So many inspiring people! One young pregnant woman disappeared for a while, then I stopped going. When I returned I didn't recognize her and all she had done was yoga to bounce back into shape. After 2 years the studio became so popular it became unenjoyable as each class was so full. After a vacation where I did yoga by the pool every morning in a class I was inspired to find a better way and found home yoga with Adriene. I love the difficulty without the jarring. I think yoga is confused with stretching, but what a fantastic workout for everyone! Our bodies thank us for taking a chance on this "stretching class". 😉

Thanks for the explanation. As in the post below, I had associated yoga more with gentle stretching, had forgotten about Ashtanga :).

I can easily button the size ten shorts I bought. That's the upside. Downside is I am eating more carbs - trying to see how they impact my diet (from 20g to like 50g so not a lot of carbs) and my weight loss has slowed and eating any carbs seems to spur cravings. But it is hard to stay completely off carbs and doesn't feel realistic as a long term strategy. So I'm working on adding a small amount and seeing how it impacts my blood sugar and weight. Currently 142.6 lbs. BMI 24.5 I have been dieting since October and lost 54 pounds since then, which is good. But the slowing of weight loss seems like an issue. I'm trying to figure out whether to go back to 20g or not.

Good afternoon! 😁

These are a few of my most memorable NSV:

I can now run 6 minutes nonstop
Russian Twists w/out mods
Improved posture

This is such an amazing attitude and mindset. Go Karin!

Today I was looking at PJs and the choice in sizes was either a medium (8-10) and a XXL. Everything in between was sold out. Six months ago I would have bought the XXL, because that was what I was. I wanted an XL or at best a L, but after some mental wrestling (because I really liked the print) I got the medium 8-10. Just tried them on at home and they fit perfectly. Haven't been an 8 in 35 years.

patriciafoley1 · May 29

Another non scale victory. When I was obese, I always slept on my side. Sleeping on my back I always felt my airways constricted or I worried about snoring. Now I can sleep on my back easily, in fact I often wake up that way. Just goes to show how losing weight can help.

I had to buy a new dress for a graduation at the end of June (the one I wore for the last 3 yrs is too big.) They didn't have any in the Women's section of JCP, so went to the misses. I easily fit in the XL size, and could actually squeeze into a size 16! (used to be 24W, and that was getting tight.)

Instead of buy a dress because it fit, I had a choice of three, and chose the style/color I liked. (the size 16 was a little too tight for my taste, and a little short - too bad since I really like the color).

I also did buy a couple of large blouses that were on sale. They fit fine, although I like my clothes a little on the loose side. Likely going to be perfect in a couple of months!

Just back on MFP after a few years and a few kids. I'm the heaviest I've ever been. In January I started just trying to consistently work out, no diet changes. And using 8lbs dumbbells was a challenge. Today I did a workout and just followed the instructor:s encouragement to go heavy, I picked up a 15lbs bumbells and could do multiple sets of shoulder and chest presses with them! Yay!! I've now been tracking on MFP for a few weeks, I feel stronger, and look more toned but havent seen the weight loss or changes in clothing fit yet. My goal is to keep being consistent and only take on a new change every few months. So I'll report back at the end of summer on how the pants are fitting!

This is a wise approach. It sounds like you are being kind and thoughtful to yourself and I love that.
