    1. Blood Pressure is the lowest it has been in the last 6 years, I am finally out of the danger zone!

    2. All my bloodwork was amazing during my physical a couple weeks ago and I freaked out the computer at the Drs office with my weight change :happy:

    3. None of my clothes fit! Everything is huge on me now (I bought everything big before to hide so now shirts are like dresses)
    I cant wait to buy all new stuff (including a bikini, shorts and dresses) once I hit goal weight.

    4. Hearing from family and friends how awesome I am doing and how I am inspiring them to get healthy. :flowerforyou:

    5. Being asked by my doctor to speak at his health and wellness class to help inspire his other patients :blushing:

    6. Just feeling awesome all around and loving the change I see each day as I look in the mirror.

    1. Getting into a jacket I have not worn since 1997.

    2. The hand-me- down size 18 jeans my daughter Cheryl gave me are now too big, and so I'm waiting for her to give me her size 16.

    3. My boobs don't pop over the top of my bra.

    4. I don't have to sleep permanently on my back....so I snore less.

    5. I can walk up the hill without my heart jumping out of my chest.

    6. The slimmer I become, the longer I will be able to participate in this outdoor life I have chosen.

    7. Although my husband has always told me, it was very nice when a male friend told me the other day, I looked beautiful.

    As the daughter mentioned, I am extremely proud of my mom

    I have had a message from someone who wants to contribute to this thread but wants to remain anonymous because he thinks the NSV is embarrassing.
    I personally thinks its a great one if your a bloke.

    His NSV is that since he has list weight his willy now looks bigger and since he has lost weight off his stomach he can see it.

    Well Done =)

    Being asked just how much weight had I lost.
    Fitting back into a smaller size scrub suit.
    Fitting comfortably into my jeans just after they've been washed.
    Tightening my belt, cos it's too big on the other hole now

    1) Having people at work say that I am looking good, especially on days that I am feeling unmotivated.

    2) An increase in my self-confidence! :smile:

    3) Smaller shirt size.

    4) Play dates with my niece, in which I can actually play with her on the floor. :laugh:

    1) I can keep up with my very active almost 5 year old.

    2) My daughter (18) brought me a pair of jeans that shrunk too much lengthwise and wanted me to try them on. Size 6! They fit!

    3) My sex drive is back (WOOOOOO!!!)

    4) I'm a knitter and I can now make sweaters in my own size and they cost less because they take way less yarn.

    I can do side planks without modifications, and yesterday, I managed an arm balance in yoga. (Not for long, but getting off the ground at all is huge progress, considering I was scared to even try before last week.)

    In fact, I can sum up the NSV in one word: STRONGER.

    This is such a great thread!

    I noticed just this week that some of my more form-fitting shirts were getting a little on the big side.

    I no longer have to be afraid to wash my jeans--they'll still fit right after!

    Keep up the hard work; you're all amazing!

    Best one ever for me happened yesterday. I was folding laundry and came to this "little"pair of jeans. Thinking they were my daughter's jeans, I placed them on her bed so she would find them. Later that evening I was dressing to go out and could not find my new jeans. I finally realized that the jeans on her bed were mine!!

    Seeing how much warmer it is going to be next week and having ZERO shirts to wear to work next week because they are all too big. Going to Goodwill and finding TEN beautiful and slimming new blouses for under forty bucks!!:bigsmile:

    My mom saw a sofa table she wanted in a furniture store. Store charged a $100 delivery fee. I told her I would pick it up for her. The store employees loaded it in my van, so I really didn't get a sense for how heavy it actually was. (They were two young, strong guys - easy for them.) When I got to my mom's place, I realized just how heavy that sucker was! REALLY heavy! But, I managed to get it in her place all by myself. No way I could have done that before weight lifting. Never turn down anyone asking help to move. Such a great workout that doesn't come around often.

    My fella said to me this morning 'You need to buy yourself some new jeans, those look awful, they're hanging off your *kitten*'. Which would have been enough of an NSV in itself, but I only bought the jeans in question 10 days ago, as the others I had were all too big! :blushing:
