NSVs - Non Scale Victories

[gazter]

Went down to the canteen to grab a jacket potato and beans for lunch, the girl on the til said 'Back on the jackets and beans?' and I said 'It's grey enough weather to justify it, so aye!' she said 'You've done really well must have lost a lot of weight now - are you just eating healthily or doing something else?' and I took great glee in thanking her and telling her slimming world. She mentioned a friend of hers did it and lost 2 stone and it seems to do wonders, to which I nodded. Sounds dull as all hell, but there's thousands of people in the building that this lady sees, so to notice I've lost so much weight was fab

Definitely a NSV!

Very good everyone!

I had a good one today, though small; mum was making dinner and said it'd be a while longer than usual, and I was HUNGRY. Went to the corner shop up the road and instead of buying crap, bought copy of Slimming World and a bottle of diet Pepsi. Felt so in control.
Later I decided to go on a walk in the cooler evening (too hot in the day!) and went via Morrisons. Came out with 5 apples and some of the new soya hazelnut milk to try. Avoided popcorn, iced buns and sorbet!

Well done Clairebear, sometimes knowing you're making the right choice is so much tastier than eating the junk.

My NSV was that I've discovered yesterday I can get my trousers down without unbuttoning them... Not sure when that happened but I LOVE it!

I have one , i spotted it about a week and a half ago , but thought i was imagining it. I can clearly see a gap between my wrist and the metal strap on my watch and i can fit 2 fingertips inside. 2 Christmases ago this was a very snug fit !! ...

I had a great one today. I went to Sainsbury's to buy a dress to wear to my dad's birthday BBQ this evening. I found 3 dresses I liked, one was only available in a 16, one only available in a 14 and one was available in a 14 and a 16. I tried on the dress in a 16 and it was too big in the top! Both of the size 14 dresses fitted me

When I rejoined back in May I was nearly wearing size 18's, all my size 16's were tight and I refused to buy anything bigger. I am now sat here wearing my new dress, and its a maxi dress that I never would have chosen before as it has a halter neck and I would have felt self-concious in it all evening.

Went a bit mad shopping today! Kept picking up size 10 and 12 of things to try on. All the size 10's fitted. Even a pair of white skinny jeans. Must admit to a moment of jumping up and down in joy in the changing rooms!

Got some new trousers yesterday, tried them on

The waist of the trousers is fourteen inches less than the ones i was wearing twenty weeks ago, and no elastic waist to grow into....

I cycled my usual 9 miles today, and thought it was such a nice day, I'd go another 6, I only went in when it started raining, I wish I could have done more. A few months ago I would have struggled to do just 9

I hope the weather's better next time you go out so you can go even further. I did 4 miles the other week but had to come home as the bloody chain came off my bike! And being a girl I had no idea how to fix it lol

 

[jamjar15]

I've just remembered this.....while out walking the dog with OH and son on Friday morning down the cycle path, I had a sudden urge to start running...so I did!! And I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was I didn't go far because the other half was almost peeing himself laughing lol. Which started me giggling I hope no one saw me running whilst holding onto my boobs with both hands!! I'd need a super duper sports bra or I could injure passing walkers/runners lol

I ran (well, jogged slowly ) ten miles this afternoon!

Today me and my dad went to a tank driving experience, he was driving and i was in the back just tagging along, to drive around in the tanks you had to wear an army jumpsuit, and the instructor looked me up and down, handed me a suit (no idea what size, don't really care ) and it fitted like a glove. even the photo shows no lumps or bumps or bulges. my dad said i'm looking pretty slim. so a good day all around.

Ten miles? Wow. I bet you couldn't have managed that at your starting weight!

No, I definitely couldn't! I used to really struggled to walk up the hill near my flat, let alone run anywhere

A couple for me over the last couple of days!

I went to visit my Nan last night and as I was walking down her driveway, her neighbour, who I haven't seen for about 6 or 8 months, popped up (she was gardening!) and said "crikey, you've lost some weight!" She's in her 70s, bless her, but wants to lose a few pounds so I'm going to print her off all my SW stuff so she can start following the plan! Love it!

I was also looking at photos from the Olympic cycling we went to at the weekend and realising that I don't feel so huge any more! I has got to the stage where I dreaded seeing photos of myself, but now I feel much more comfortable in my own skin. We've just booked a mini break to Center Parcs with some friends for the bank holiday and I'm not totally dreading being in a swimsuit. The SW malarkey really is rather good!

And the tape measure shows another 5cm off, taking me to a total of 55cm overall! The scales might not have been moving lately, but my shape is definitely changing
