Intial Weight : 94.3kg
Last update weight : 84.0 kg
Current weight : 83.2 kg
Ok so the weight is going down 🙂 but I am happy for much more… why u ask? Sometime back I was browsing the good old FF for some motivation (God why did it die a premature death?) and I read this post by Sunita talking about the non scale victories and how we never celebrate them as much as we should… and I so agree with that, we get so hung up with the scales moving up and down that we absolutely forget that what matters more than that is the NSV’s… the inch loss, the fall in the body fat, the increase in the stamin, improve in health etc…
so today I am going to celebrate the NSV’s 🙂
The thing that makes me most happy is the inch loss ofcourse, because that is what makes everyone sit up and notice that yeah u have lost way and compliments are a great way of encouragement which keep u going…
I have lost about 5 inches at my stomach… I think there is another 5-6 to go before I get a flat stomach, my dream since ages…
I lost about 3.5 inches at the chest and all my blouses that I got stiched a year or so back have become so funny and when I went to get them altered the tailor said that it would probably be easier to stich new 😉
I lost about 4 inches at the waist YAY
About 3 inches at the arms, about 4 inches at the thigh and about 1.5 at the calves…
I have almost gone down two sizes and don’t need a plus size anymore 😀 😀 😀 a xl (and in some even large) fits me just fine….
My BMI is gone down by about 3%
I just finished day 3, week 3 of C2K… and though I was tired I was able to do it!!! and I cant tell you how happy I am… when I started working out I couldnt walk on the treadmill without huffing and puffing for 20 mins and now I am almost running for 20 mins and thats huge for me…
I remember about 8 months I wasn’t really able to climb the two flight of stairs from my ground floor to terrace without huff puff but the other day I went to a friends house on 5th floor and walked up almost comfortably….
I also did a Basic Art of Living course the last weekend and could almost do all the aasana’s they taught and I have started practicing yoga and Sudarshan Kriya at home which will also build my inner strength more…
I hope I am able to celebrate many more non scale victories ahead too 😀

Your numbers are impressive Monu. I am so proud of your positive attitude and go-getter-ness!
Read this completely and pretending not to have read at all.
I bought a new treadmill about five or six years ago.
I’m yet to unpack it.
Wooow! That is amazing, Monika! NSV are so much more worth celebrating!
Your determination is amazing – I would have given up ages ago.
Brilliant!
I have put on all the kilos which I shed prior to wedding by now… so now I start soon on a full fledged fitness program with more healthy eating.
NSV is one deal I shall also be looking out at during this time too.
YAY..

Thats commendable effort and results…

Wow! Inspirational work!
You know, I never weigh myself whether I am trying to lose weight or not. I just go by how much tighter/loser my clothes get. Works for me, because the numbers on the weighing scale hardly ever budge – this way or that.
this is soooo awesome!!
maha proud and l’il J!! 😀
cheers!
