Non Scale Victories(NSV's)
 

After my doctor's appointment on the 5th my doctor's nurse called me and told me my blood tests look great, Everything is down compared to where I was a year ago and then she said that my doctor said to keep up the good work so that phone call made me feel really good and its more motivation to keep going.

Congratulations!! That is wonderful news to receive!

Congrats!

Congrats :) I am working on getting a few of mine down. It will be 3 months in between appointments and I hope my hard work pays off a lil bit.

Keep up the good work :)

That's wonderful news Terra!! Congratulations!!

Terra1984 that is awesome news, congratulations!

Congrats!! Non-scale victories are the best aren't they? I've taken up the Couch25K app on my phone and was able to jog a mile straight in under 12 minutes. Doesn't sound like much, I know, but for someone as unathletic and sedentary for me, that was a big milestone! Almost as nice a feeling as reaching ONEderland. :D Keep up the good work and remember these NSVs when the scale plateaus.

Mariam: You're lapping me. It sounds impressive to me, given that I haven't tried.

Thats awesome!!!! My blood test is what got me kickstarted to start this journey again. I am happy yours came back improved!

Thanks everyone for your replies

Candidcamster: I love that quote. Thanks for sharing it.

My non-scale victory. I bought my current coat at the start of this winter. It was the largest size available in the store. It barely fit. I'm starting to notice less of a tightness around the tummy area.

Thought I'd check in since it's been awhile! Looks like everyone is have a lot of success! I'm very pleased to say that I left behind over 27 pounds while I explored this forum! Some day I feel like I could eat a whole cow but most are going by quite easily. I don't really have cravings (much) but I did stand at my open pantry looking at that jar of peanut butter ( I had to leave something for hubbie to snack on!) and thinking how good it would taste on some celery but I shoved the jar to the back corner where I won't see it and ate my celery plain. It was still good!

Have a great day and stay stronger than your cravings!!

Wow! congrats to you!

Nice, frawnie. In small amounts, PB isn't extremely bad, but I avoid it because I absolutely love the stuff and have trouble just eating a tiny bit.

:bravo: Terra! :)
