Your strangest NSV's...?

Micheller1210

Is hooking my bra straps on as tight as it can go and tightening tbe shoulder straps as far as they can tighten, can still fill the cups......but when I first bought it it was on the most give possible with out having to by bra extenders.

Not sure if it's a NSV but it definitely surprised me. I was laying in bed and was rubbing my hand down my chest due to some sore muscles and felt this lump. Instantly I was scared. I had hubby rub his hand so he could feel it. He says "ummm honey, that's your breast bone!" :laugh: I've never felt it before!

Hahaha! Last night I was in bed like "Feel this solid bit!" and kept making my OH feel my hip bone. Little things, eh? :bigsmile:

I know exactly how you guys feel. I was lying in bed this morning and for the first time in a long time i can see my ribs while lying on my back. I was pretty excited!!

My weird NSV is the vet telling me that my dogs are at a healthy weight and fitting one into her harness again. I always feel bad when I get back from the gym feeling good and worked out and they've been sitting on the couch all day so we go for a two mile walk. My whole family is benefitting from healthier habits.

Don't laugh. But my strangest NSV moment was when I looked down and my stomach didn't stick out more then by chest.

That was probably my best moment in this whole weight loss business, I totally understand where you're coming from!

OMG, me too!

I've taken 3 bags of clothing to goodwill and I'm working on filling up another 3. Very proud of this.

My co-workers keep complimenting my hair, earrings, etc. because they can't figure out what's really changed. LOL

We were at the grocery store earlier, so I figured I'd buy a lottery ticket. The clerk (who I've seen many times) asked me if I was over 18... I'm 30.

My sweetie can completely get his arm around me and he hasn't been able to in years. (My favorite NSV.)

I have also had two lately:

One of my superiors at work that I have known for over ten years was squinting looking at me. I asked her what was wrong. She said from the other end of the hall she couldn't figure out who I was. Then continued with how much I have lost.

Lately at work, I have a hard time sitting still because I feel every bone in my butt. I have had to take a pillow in to sit on.

These might not be weird but I took them for granted before:

My engagement ring and wedding band are now falling off my fingers.
The tattoo in my ticker used to be covered a bit by my fat roll, lol, and I am proud to say that it is now perfectly visible!

That I can have the seat in the car up far enough to reach the pedal without hitting my chest against the steering wheel. And that I feel like the very fit person I was in my early 20's. I also feel very guilty if I take a rest day from exercise, even though I know I need at least 1 rest day a week with how hard I work out the other 6 days.

Not weird per se - but my favorite Tiffany's necklace fitting like a necklace, not a choker!

I have three - all of which may not seem weird to you but they are to me. First NSV was when I could get a beach-sized towel around me and tuck in the ends, and have it cover everything. I noticed that in the gym, when I got out of the shower!!

The second one was when a dear friend of mine, on being asked if he noticed any difference, said, "Um, well, I must say that the difference I notice is that your, er, chest seems to stand out more from your body...." (In other words, the under-bit had shrunk so the "girls" showed up a bit more! LOL!)

The third one is me, really. I find it fascinating that I can actually FEEL all my cheekbones when I wash my face. I know it's weird, but I hadn't felt them through the fat for so long that it really amazes me to feel them!!

Painting my toenails last night, I realized that I wasn't cutting off my air supply to bend over! And of course that I was able to bend over and paint my toenails!

I used to lay in bed and hit the snooze button at least 4 times, then drag myself out of bed and into the shower. I've only been at this for 30 days, but now I'm wide awake before my alarm goes off (now set to 1 hour earlier so I can get in a workout before work), and I am soaking wet before I even get in the shower I have so much more energy all day long!

I dunno about strange, but here's a few out of the ordinary NSVs
-I'm rummaging through my "goodwill donation" bags looking for things that I discarded years ago because they were too small.
-My pants got too big... Wore a belt... Belt got too big... Bought another one... I'm good for now
-This is the first time ever that I go shopping for clothes that are too small for me
-My scale batteries are dead from weighing myself everyday
-I have more gym clothes than regular clothes.
-When on a plane, I don't have to be elbow buddies with the person sitting next to me

I feel like I'm going backwards in time. Like, I am a time traveler. I look like I did when I was younger, I feel like I did when I was younger, and I want to do the things I did when I was younger like dance around my living room and shave my legs. My husband, who is on MFP with me, looks like a college kid these days. We're wearing clothes we wore when we met in college. I keep looking for my Tardis and I'm thinking of carrying a screwdriver in my pocket.

Me to isnt it a great feeling

Last summer my feet and ankles were so swollen i had to buy a size 12 slide in sandal just to have something on my feet. This summer I am back in my 8.5 - 9 shoes and sandals comfortably. Once I cut out processed foods and soda all that hidden sodium got cut out of y diet.

This is so much strange as happy, the other day I was at my mother in law and she has a huge yard. Well I have a 4 2 and 1 year old kids, as we played outside I was able to keep up with them! I think my 4 year old son was getting annoyed that daddy wasn't giving up lol

kelly6485

My strangest NSV came while I was playing with the kids at the playground and realized I fit, the normal way, down the slide, without having to turn sideways to go down!! WHEEEEE!

I'll qualify this one as strange because it comes from someone who doesn't speak much... I was picking up two of my children at a friend's house and chatted a bit with her husband on the porch... The next day, my friend called to say her husband had said:"Wow! I can't believe how much Lily has shrunk!". So she asked if he had mentioned anything to me... :"No." Lol! Glad she told me!:laugh: :happy:

These are all awesome!

I've got a tattoo on my stomach that's awful but I'm excited to see again! And I don't snooze my alarm either any more, I didn't even think about that

About 6 weeks after I started eating healthier, a friend and I went to Steak'n'Shake for dinner and I ordered a single cheeseburger, I used to always order a double. I got through only half of it and started feeling nauseous. More recently I moved from the last set of hooks on my bra to the first set!

Getting on an airplane and not worrying about whether or not I'll have to call a flight attendant for a seatbelt extender.

Sitting down in a theater chair for an awards ceremony the other day, I was able to tuck BOTH of my arms inside the arm rests and avoided that "I'm taking up too much of your space" feeling with the total stranger sitting next to me.

My feet are a bit smaller. Have been a 7.5-8 (depending on the shoe) since I had my last child. I'm now a 7.5 in all shoes, and a 7 in shoes that only come in whole sizes. What's a girl to do, but shop for more shoes?!?!

I have had so many NSV that I will just list a few, but I have to say that I have hit points where I get all emotional because I cannot believe that I am really doing it some days.

*I love to workout now, if you interrupt my life and I do not workout when I want, I will get upset LOL
*I can do strength training for an hour and cardio for 45 to an hour when I used to only handle dancing to one song.
*I can run and it doesn't feel awkward.
*My wedding ring is so loose that I have to be careful it does not fly off
*The beginning of April, I went to try on a raincoat that was smaller than what I normally get it fir and for the first time in a very long time I was happy to try on clothes and I did not cry about being ugly/fat/unattractive.
*I realized that I had not been eating enough calories for most of my life and that has helped my entire family.
*My daughter telling me that my body is so different, that she thought I pasted my head on another body LOL
*My husband telling me that I have a tight butt. (He can almost hold both cheeks in one hand.
*I feel like a small woman, and I am often surprised at the places I fit into.
*My sister, who normally says nothing to anyone about weight and doesn't care about things like that said to me that she could not help but say something because of how obvious all my hard work is.
*I was laying on the bed, and the full length mirror showed a body that I did not think I would ever have again. (Looking forward to stronger abs to keep it that way when I stand)
*A friend who had not seen me for 18 months told me that I look incredibly awesome.
*My skin is smoother and softer
*I look younger
*I got some size med/small shirts given to me and they all fit.
*I went from a size 14/16 jeans to a lose 12 in 4 weeks.
*I am starting to see definition in my upper abs
*My loose skin is shrinking.
*I realize that I can do this, that my genetics have nothing to do with what I can or cannot do when it comes to weight and fitness.
*Even on the tightest bra hooks, it my bras are too loose.
*I can lay flat and feel my spine and lay all the way flat backed
*I can touch my toes while standing and also while sitting.
*My strength has improved that I have progressed from no weights for my routine to 5lbs and now many of them I need 10lbs to feel like I am working.
*I have to practice good posture when sitting, or I hurt from lack of cushioning.
*I have more energy, and often want to go and be even more active
*I feel really good about my progress. I feel good about myself a lot more than I did before.
*I have had the courage to work on the inside too. And deal with past pain I have ignored.
*I have lost 35.25 inches all over my body. (as of May 6)
*I am excited to measure and weigh again the beginning of June. (I used to hate the scale, the mirror, and trying anything on, now I am starting to love them all)

There are many more, but those are the ones that stick out right now
