A few this week: •I did a strength workout •I did some stretching one day - I really need to do this more regularly because my back and neck have been sore recently •my resting heart rate was at 65 or less for a whole week - my next goal is to be at 63 or less for an entire week •I got at least 5,000 steps everyday I did…

I got at least 5,000 steps every day this week and also I tracked my eating everyday.
-
Okay, so I tracked my eating each day, I biked 3 times, and I did 3 footlockers. And for a bonus, I hit at least 5,000 steps everyday! This week's goals are similar: 1. Track my eating 2. Bike 3 times 3. No outside food 4. Strength workout 2x

I have a non scale/scale victory. Sometimes after a week or more of watching what I eat and exercising how I should, the scale doesn't change and other things - like measurements and heart rate - don't usually change in just that time either, so I get discouraged and fall off the bandwagon. But when I weighed in this…

My mini goals for this week: •to track my eating every day •to not eat "outside" food - only food that I have prepared (I just finished 8 days of eating from restaurants for at least one meal every day) •to bike for 20 min 3 times •to do a 10 minute (min) strength workout everyday And on a non-fitness note, to pack up 4…

I made good choices today: I had both fruit and veggies with every meal, I went on a bike ride, I went on 2 10 minute walks with the dog, and I am planning to do a stretching routine after I post this. I went over on calories but overall it was a good day so I am not going to sweat it. And on a totally non related note, I…

The scale has not been my friend recently so I love coming to this thread for encouragement, motivation, and a reminder that there is more to this journey than the scale. And also I have recently been feeling extra insecure about certain parts of my body - my stomach and my arms. And when I measured recently my numbers…

I bought a bike yesterday! I am pretty excited and have already taken it out several times - riding it for my commute and just for fun. Also, I measured yesterday and today and it seems I have lost about a centimeter in most places - really not much but encouraging as the scale is not moving. Also, weird thing - according…

I did some strength training this morning! I needed an NSV because the scale hasn't budged in a while. And my first pair of goal jeans aren't fitting even though I have lost some weight in the last few months. I tend to wake up early in the summers naturally and just lying in bed on my phone or reading. But then yesterday…

*I have some jeans and a top hanging on my door I would like to fit into. They both fit but there is some jumping necessary to get the jeans on (I have terrible calves) and then muffin top once they are on. And for the top it is just more snug than it should be (and has been in the past). *I live in China and most of the…

An SV related to NSVs... I am actually losing! This is the first time I have lost intentionally. I live mostly outside of the States with some short periods in the States. And two times when I have left the States I have within a year lost about 40 lbs, not on purpose, but then because it wasn't on purpose it all came…

Well, yesterday I didn't do my workout as planned. But instead I went on a Hash that had some pretty intense hills and was over 3.5 mi (about 6k). I felt like it was okay to skip my workout. Also, I have been adding shredded carrots to different things - tacos, wraps, oatmeal. I know the oatmeal one is weird but I don't…

So two years ago I bought one of Fitness Blender's workout programs for my birthday. I have never completed it 🙄. The most I have been through it is almost 3 weeks and then for some reason I stopped and haven't ever finished it - though I have restarted it several times! My NSV is that I decided to try again and today…

So I was a little bit frustrated this morning. I only wiegh in once a week and this week I have been really good about tracking. On most days I eat at my calirue level, and then I exercise every day so I every day this week I have had anywhere from 200 to 800 calories left over. So I was expecting to go down at least half…

So I missed mentioning a milestone a while back... I am in one-derland! I think it happened back in January or December, I am not sure. Next milestone - I am no longer classified as obese on the BMI scale! I know that it is really really not accurate, but it still feels good. Hit that one last Friday! And today, I am…

I have one! I am not a runner, but I want to be. Every time I try though I get really bad shin splints and/or arch pain in my feet. But I decided that this year I would try to go for a run/walk in the park once a week. My plan is to walk to the park (0.75 mi), go around it twice (once around is 1k so about 0.6 mi) and then…

Great job to everyone on their accomplishments! I love reading this thread. It reminds me that just because the scale doesn't change doesn't mean I should quit, there are a lot of other things to pay attention to. I went shopping in my closet the other day and found some tops, skirts, and jeans that all fit me now! And the…

To start off, I want to say great job to everyone! I am encouraged and re-motivated every time I read this thread - it is definitely my favorite one out there! No matter how small it may seem to others, every NSV is worth celebrating if it means something to you. That is something I have to continually remind myself when I…

I have a few NSV's . -I did not gain during Christmas. Okay, I know this is technically a scale victory, but I am still happy. And the point of this forum is to focus on what went well, right? And this was one of my mini goals over on the mini goal thread, so yay! -This last week since being back from Christmas break I…

Two mini-goals. One, to not drink coffee for a whole week. And two, to be able to use the second row of hooks on my bras, currently back at the first one.

I have really enjoyed reading through all of y'all's mini goals, so I thought I would share mine. 1) To lose 1 cm in each area (hips, waist, pants line, calf (they are annoyingly large!), and boob area). I want to start this goal small that way when I lose more than 1 cm, I will be happy. I have several pairs of pants and…

I have to start this by saying I LOVE THIS THREAD!! NSV's are my favorite!! I was looking for something like this on the sparkpeople forums but couldn't find it. But I found it here - 13,000 comments worth!! Y'all are amazing! This thread is super encouraging to read! I like seeing the progress as I recognize people's…

Yeah, I mostly walk. I would like to run/jog but I get shin splints so I don't. I also just bought a bike on Saturday so I am hoping to incorporate that into my cardio.
