This is scale-related, but I'm taking it anyway
Today, for the first time in my adult life (I'm 45 years old), I'm a healthy BMI! I'm officially no longer overweight! YAY!!!!5 -

So 2 weeks ago I left South Africa after a six week trip, with a broken heart.
However, I did not gain on that massive trip!!! And I also did not resort to Ben&Jerry's to deal with the heartbreak.
Then a second NSV, today I went to buy a pair of the exact same jeans that I bought last autumn and I wore so much they disintegrated..... 2 SIZES SMALLER!!!

Colleague at work said, "I want to look like THAT" and pointed at me. ME!!

I don't own any too small clothes anymore.2

The neck on my favorite dress shirt wasn't hard to button this morning. Woohoo!2

I went on a 5 day trip to another country and ate too much. I got home, held myself accountable (without needing to blame any circumstances or people), weighed myself, took stock of the damage and went back into my routine without a hitch this morning. By this time next week, I would have repaired the deficit damage.
This is the sort of thing that would have messed with my head for months before and I would have avoided the scale. I am in a different place now and ready to make small adjustments for these sorts of blips rather than descending into denial and only facing the issue months later when I have gained tons of weight instead of just a teeny bit.
Excellent!
As long as we keep taking the 'two steps forward', the occasional 'one step back' doesn't really matter in the broader scheme of things.1 -
Three realisations that I've lost a lot of weight this morning. 1) I put on the belt that I bought two months ago. Had to put it on the very last notch and it isn't tight enough to hold my jeans up! 2) Saw my bus coming at a distance whilst I was walking to the bus stop. Had to do a mad sprint to catch it just in time. Not even the teeniest bit out of breath. 3) Trying to put my jacket on as I'm sitting on the bus. Put my iPod on my lap to free up my hands but it fell through the gap between my thighs and landed on the floor! I can no longer squeeze my thighs together. Looking forward to no more thigh rub in summer. Yay! Sometimes I forget or just don't notice how far I've come. I don't ever want to be fat and unfit again.3

A lady at work asked me "So just how much weight HAVE you lost?!? Your clothes are just about to fall off of you girl!"
*Score*!
and... I'm getting to the point I'm starting to like running again.. finally!!!2 -
Went through my closet to try on some old clothes (a pair of 511 pants and 2 t-shirts) I was trying to get back into. They were all huge. Getting tired of buying new clothes.2
-
I was walking my kid home from school, and she challenged me to a race up a fairly big hill. We ran the whole thing! When I first started this whole thing, I had to stop halfway up that hill, even at a slow walk. It was a good day 2

I'm a very private person and tend to keep everything locked up in my head in real life. Behind a keyboard though I tend to be fairly open and honest.
Last night however I was able to take a step into the uncomfortable and talk to my girlfriend about how things are going with my weight loss. She has been a massive supporter of me especially with the way MFP works.
After a truely terrible weekend at work where I spent the better part of 2 12 hour shifts trying to eat tesco's out of everything they had with sugar in it I was able to tell her about it and admit my embarrassment for failing so hard and that I felt I had let her down because of all the hard work she had put into helping me.
It was a real weight off my mind and has allowed me to start today with a fresh motivation to move forward and carry on to my ultimate goal. 9.2kg to go.4 -
Can't get the stupid scale to move but I went down a jeans size. Scale be damned!3
-
A few things 1) I finally hit ONEDERLAND (okay, that IS a scale victory but I'm just so freaking happy about it!), 2) I was finally in a situation with people who hadn't seen me in a while and they were amazed at how great I look. I still have around 60 pounds or so until goal, but I definitely do NOT carry weight well. 3) I'm having to get rid of oversize clothes more frequently, which is a good thing but sort of a not good thing because I don't exactly plan to run out and buy a bunch of items in my current size either...so my wardrobe is MUCH smaller than I'm used to it being! Would I change anything so that I could keep those clothes, though? Heck no! I would run around naked before I would be willing to gain the weight back!3
-
I was able to lift ( about 4ft high) hold in place and screw in a piece of Sheetrock all by myself. I surprised myself with how much stronger I've become.2
-
I've been going through my wardrobe; there are a few shirts I absolutely love, haven't been wearing because they're getting way to big, but won't donate because I love them. I've decided to make pillows!!2
-
Apparently, I've lost 2-3 whole shirt sizes! I was wearing 5x and in danger of having to wear a tent in public, but discovered this morning that my favorite 2x-3x pajama shirts fit like a dream!1
-
In May, when I re-started working out really hard, I constantly had knee pain. I was upset because I thought I had arthritis or something irreversible. In recent months I forgot that I had knees. The pain disappeared and never came back. It turned out that my quads got much stronger, which are the best protectors of knee joints.2

After 4 weeks of C25K and only 3 days of IF 16:8, I don't feel like I'm stuffed in my jeans!0
-
Congrats to all! I love reading your non-scale victories!
My recent NSVs:
1. I completed the C25K program! (And I like running now! It's so weird.)
2. I only have a few clothing items that are "too small," just about everything else fits or is baggy.
I love this thread!1 -

That's brilliant! I love a creative mind!0 -
1. My underwear that is a size 9 that was barely fitting 4 weeks ago....now too baggy.
2. The other day had to run with my 6 year old to the bathroom at football practice. I usually can only slowly walk and he goes ahead. This time I got ahead of him, slowed down, ran with hime, got to the bathroom -- without my heart rate shooting up or my lungs feeling like they wanted to blow up. That's huge for me...I also have asthma.
3. TMI - Less gut means less pressure on my bladder, so combined with the surgery to remove massive adhesions, no more leaking urine LOL
4. For once I had someone ask ME what to do in the weights area *big grin*.2 -
I totally needed this one today...I've been feeling very discouraged because I've been following a plan for the last 29 days and my scale has only fluctuated up and down with the same 5 pounds. I've been trying to not let it discourage me like everyone here says, but it's easier said than done. Well, I just had a hair appointment and my stylist totally noticed! He was afraid to say anything in case he was wrong, but it really made my day and gave me the kick I needed to keep at it!2

Good for you! I also struggle with opening up to others and am working on it. Thank you for sharing.1 -
I passed on pizza for salad now that has never happened before:) and I fit into a brookes bro large dress shirt I thought id never wear (as I bought it on a $1 rack hoping one day...) well 3 years later I fit it and... its loose!1

Someone brought bags of Sainsbury Taste The Difference Belgian choc cookies into the staffroom yesterday. I walked away from them. Today I am a healthy BMI for the first time in years and 3 days before my 52nd birthday. I am sure there is no direct correlation, but it feels like a reward.2
-
I struggle with anxiety, and most of yesterday was a bad day. I reeeeally wanted to give in and have a glass or three of wine, but I didn't. Instead, my husband took me out for a healthy lunch, I exercised, and the day ended on a much better note.
And I know this is scale-related, but last week/weekend we spent five days eating and drinking our way around Asheville for my birthday. After four days of drinking water and eating right again, I'm only up a pound and a half. That'll be gone in a week. Score! 2 -
I can sit cross legged on the floor and *almost* be comfortable. It's the little things that make me happy
