I am not new to this site and feel like I know most of the lingo used, but NSV is something I have been seeing a lot lately so Im just curious of what it means.

Thanks

    i was wondering this until a few days ago its non-scale victory, something like you have moved down a notch on your belt or a collegue notices that you have lost weight that sort of thing (well that how i interperated it, the little things that really make you smile)

    I have a ton of NSV - my favorite is when the scale doesn't move, BUT, I go to pull on a piece of clothing that did not fit me a month ago, and now it fits - new smaller wardrobe.... Love the non-scale victories..

    when i was new to the site and saw this for the first time i thought it was a translation of the bible! you know RNSV - revised new standard version. KJV - King James version.

    I just couldn't work out why so many people on a weight loss forum were talking about the bible!! : )

    NSV means non-scale victory. What everyone else said. Realizing that clothes you couldn't get into before will fit now. Someone noticing your weight loss. It could also be saying no to foods that you might have had a weakness before. (I threw away the box of peanut brittle my mom gave me. What was up with that??? No more freaking peanut brittle, Mom, please!! lol) It can also be noticing your new energy, meaning completing an exercise or distance that was so challenging before. It can be anything that happens that is not numbers on the scale. After all, isn't this what this whole journey is about? Best wishes!!! Stay strong and welcome to MFP!! :flowerforyou:
