    I'm finally able to wear some really cute tops my husband had bought for me (well intentions - he's never seen me as anything but beautiful) that were too small.

    I can run 3 miles without much effort.

    I can see definition in my arms for the first time EVER!

    I no longer dread looking in the mirror when I'm naked.

    I crave water.

    My kids are so happy that I no longer say "I'm too tired".

    I have another!! My 6 year old gave me a hug and said mommy I can hug you better now :)

    Soooo cute!^

    My NSV has been people telling asking me if I've lost weight- SO much better than being asked (incorrectly) if you're expecting.

    That does not sound silly at all. It is an achievement you need to be proud of. Wear it around the house for awhile.

    Have a cousin who shrunk from 250+ to 213 and I have shrunk from 290 to 261 so far. I hugged her today and it was amazing how close we could get! LOL...now that was a nice NSV for the both of us!!

    Bought two new bras last week (underwire, which I have not been able to wear in a long, long time!) The first couple of times I wore them, they pinched me and my scale was not budging, so I wondered if I had made a mistake getting them in this smaller size (still a 44C, but it was smaller for me!)

    Today, I put one on and it has not pinched me a bit. It is 11 PM and no pinching! YAY! NOw that is an SNNSV (super nice non scale victory) for this girl!! YAY!

    I can now walk up the two flights of stairs at my work and still have breath at the top!!!! Could partially be due to not smoking since Sunday but that is what I noticed today :smile:

    I think this is too cute.

    I teach a class of students, most of whom are second language learners. They often struggle with language, trying to find exactly the English word they're looking for.

    Last week, one of my girls said, "Ma'am, you look...how you say...you look...less wide than you did before."

    Being stronger and getting close to dropping down a jean size are a couple of my NSV.

    Bump for later! I love reading these..

    Today I started to keep a list of little victories, inspired by this topic. It feels so good to read them over!
    Today I also finished the 4th of 6 weeks training for 5k (similar to C25k) AND I took "Before" pics because I'll be starting to lift soon. Took me lots of courage though!

    I agree - love the sharing.. the great NSV's we may not have even considered... much better than waiting on the scale!!

    congratulations on your NSV successes. I actually only get weighed by my trainer every 3 months. I don't focus on the #, i focus on meeting my conscience eating goals and my workout goals. I've lost 60 lbs. total, I'm working on the last 10 lbs. I'm 50 and i ahd twins at 45, so my body really wants to hang on to that last 10 lbs! ( i also have a lifetime of yo-yo dieting). I've kept my weight off for 2 years so far (the 60 lbs.) so i reward myself with clothes to stay on track. Best to you. Tere

    Tonight I realized I no longer think I need some wine after a stressful day at work. Instead I'm thinking, "I'm going to be good tonight because I've been doing well and I want the scale to go down tomorrow."
