What was your most recent NSV? (non-scale victory)



Recommended Posts

Short skirt and a long jacket.....yes! And tights; loving wearing tights this fall. Oh, here's one that I'm still not sure is real. The other day I did not want to get off the treadmill. What?! Who is this person? I never thought I'd get the "high" of exercise or even be able to approach it without dread. And now I am a real exerciser. Hardly seems possible. Yippee!

@@Bandista -- I understand how you feel. It takes some time before it kicks in but once you start getting that runner's high, it's a fantastic feeling!

Keep up the great work!

@tamg26k Best wishes! If you have questions, stop them and ask. If it hurts, tell them so they can give you something else to do. Do one more rep when you think you can't.

You can do this!

Not having to ask the sales clerk if the shoe came in wide width.

Shopping the other day, I griped (jokingly) to the sales clerk about not having a certain top I wanted in extra large. I broke down and bought a large, thinking "I will be able to wear it soon enough". I got home, tried it on, and it FIT! I was wearing size 1X top at my largest :)

Otherwise, I Would've posted my thread: NSV A Waist in here, instead creating a new nsv thread

Thank you! I used to go the gym all of the time when I was In my 30's. Now in my 40's, I need to dust off these old bones and get back to it! Slow and easy to start!

Side note to everyone - all of the posts here and across the forums are really helpful to all of us. Thanks to everyone, hopefully we inspire each other to keep moving forward!!! :)

Here is my NSV. This upcoming weekend I'm helping my nieces move furniture into their 3rd floor apartment. Why is this an NSV? Never in a million years would I have been able to climb the darn stairs, much less cheerfully volunteer to carry furniture up three flights! I can't wait to be around these twenty-somethings and get some good exercise!

I was sitting in a clinic waiting room and was wearing my winter wrap. I had several people complement my wrap but the complement I was not expecting was when someone asked me if I was cold (I live in Tucson AZ so the weather is "always warm") and when I said yes she said it was because I "didn't have any body fat"!!! I almost corrected her but stopped and smiled at her comment.

I bought a couple of outfits in the "regular" woman's department. It was so exciting to not have that W or X attached to the size!

I was able to "shop" in my closet for a smaller pair of jeans for the first time. I am 5 weeks out from lap-band surgery and have not lost a single ounce over the past 3 weeks which is getting mighty frustrating. BUT, I must be getting smaller if my jeans are getting looser. Plus I feel better. 15 lbs = almost 2 gallon milk jugs. So I actually feel less weighed down.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
