    Can I share a great group here? There are so so many NSV's that we really don't even notice on a daily basis. It is good to know what everyone else is seeing. we have an awesome group on Facebook. Super positive and a great bunch of people.

    Non-scale Victories are measures of success that are unrelated to the number on the scale. It can be health and activity related, new clothing size related or even just feeling really good about yourself. They're a fantastic (and needed) reminder that what you are doing has worth, even if the lying liar pants scale isn't budging.

    I've got a darling NSV today:
    Last night my son watched me tie up my gi (martial arts uniform) and my white belt for my second taekwondo class. He had a goofy grin on his face and when I asked him about it, he gave me a huge hug and told me he was "so proud of my mom for getting back into martial arts." Talk about major motivation! My nine-year old is just the sweetest and always seems to know just what to say and when to say it!

    This - I think too, that he knows your health is better managed, and he can be less scared about what might happen to you, plus it's something you have in common, and all of that. I think there were about a million things packed into that statement of his there!!! Congrats...

    Today I was a passenger in my neighbour's Japanese car. 9 months ago I also went in her car, when I as 80lbs heavier, BUT COULDNT BUCKLE UP THE SEAT BELT AS I WAS TOO BIG. She helped squeeze me in that I couldn't breath.

    Today I had so much room within the seatbelt that I could have also fitted 2 pillows as well as me. I've been saying I cannot notice my weight loss yet. But boy did this one hit me between the eyes. All the hard work is paying off.

    That is awesome! I'd have been bawling my eyes out.

    All my victories are NSVs: feeling better because I exercise, being too small for clothes I had in my twenties, having almost no pain since I stopped eating sugar, keeping up with the twenty somethings on hikes (they may be slowing down for me though, because they're sweet and sociable).

    Kept up with the fast dudes during the Team Red White and Blue flag run yesterday! I was wheezing like I was dying, but I made it, even when they decided to pick up the pace the last quarter of a mile. By the way, if you see a bunch of people in red shirts running with an American flag, please honk! We are a veteran's support group!

    Maybe more related to my new exercise regimen, but my resting heart rate is averaging ~61 BPM, down from about 70 a month ago. This means a lot to me! :)
