1. I look good to myself in a bathing suit
2. I don't grimace when I see myself naked
3. The sale rack for my size is not as slim pickings any more
4. Smaller bra size
5. When I hold up my jeans I try to figure out how the hell I am fitting into them.. No I am not a muffin top, they are a tad loose.. ;P

Love number 5 and waiting for that day, but when I hold up my old pants, I am amazed that they ever stayed up and were actually TIGHT on me!! Who knew this day would bring me such joy!!

My future NSV's

1. Fitting into my wedding ring. I refuse to get it sized!
2. The towel thing for me too!
3. Taking pictures and liking how I look in them
4. Wearing my hair curly. For some reason I feel like it makes me look worse so I straighten it always.
5. Wearing short dresses, I hate my legs right now but I LOVE dresses. By short I mean knee length and not maxi's all the time..lol

I am with you on the wedding ring thing...mine is so pretty and in 14 years I have maybe worn it for 8 months...how sad...but I am just counting pounds and NSV's till I hit that ultimate NSV!! not long after that, I will also achieve Onederland!! YAY!!

I can wear size 10 jeans again and none of my shorts from last year will stay up!
I don't look 9 mths pregnant. I do however still look about 3-4 tho. lol
I don't have to use my belly to hold my coffee cup.
My seatbelt in the car fits better.
I can see my feet in the shower!

#1 having people believe that I have lost so much more than I actually have

1) From size XL to S
2) Going from very last hole in the belt to the tightest and then to needing a new belt.
3) Buying new workout clothes and then having to replace them because they become too big.
4) That pair of jeans I could never fit into, even when I was this weight before, they fit comfortably now.
5) Deadlifting my bodyweight, five sets of 5 reps.

1) My son telling my mom and dad how strong I look.
2) Fitting back into my board shorts.
3) Motivating my friends to do the same.
4) My daughter hugging me and saying "you're so skinny!" (I would have preferred "healthy" lol)
5) My chair at work no longer buckles under the pressure when I sit in it (I no longer overstress hydraulics YAY!)

hmmmm...I might re-order these a little.

edit: OH WAIT! I can now wear a men's LARGE tech shirt, which are always comically undersized. I'm not sure I'd delete any of the above 5, but it's still super fantastic.

#1; My curves getting more and more obvious by the day
#2; Feeling confident and attractive enough to wear nice clothes
#3; My skin, hair and energy seems to have improved
#4; Men seem to be noticing me more
#5; I can take pictures of myself and actually be pleased with the result! I feel pretty, sort of

You should feel pretty! You're gorgeous! I'm totally jealous of that body

I am still loving reading all these. Everyone is doing so great!!! I think NSVs are the very best!!

My 3 year old asking to exercise with me.
My belt is two notches smaller.
Getting rid of all my maternity clothes and post-pregnancy clothes.
Working all day and coming home to work more and still play.
MUCH better sex. (Mostly because I feel better about myself, but more because I'm stronger...:blushing: )

BUMP! I loved reading these! I need to do mine but I'm still thinking...

1) tonight i got rid of 7 pairs of size 18 pants that are now too loose for me! also, rotated back into my wardrobe my smaller size 16 pants and shorts that i'm beginning to fit back into.
2) feeling confident enough to wear bare arms during the recent heat wave.
3) even on my worst days, i'm still eating much better than my good days a few months ago.
4) preparing my own food at least 90% of the time, saving money and eating much healthier.
5) inspiring my 4 year old daughter with my healthier habits. she now asks before picking up foods if they are healthy, and if i tell her, "no," she chooses a healthier alternative by choice! this has easily made me the most proud throughout my journey!

These are sooooo fun to read! We rock!!!

1. Feeling confident and proud and pretty. I haven't enjoyed shopping lately.

2. I've started taking boxing classes. It is THE>HARDEST>THING I've ever done and I think I suck at it! I want to be good at it!!!

3. I am fat because of my hip injury several years ago. This hope may never come true but I would love to be able to lose enough weight and gain enough strength so that I would be pain-free enough to run another half marathon (or even a full) - a girl can dream can't she???

4. I don't think I have ever said this one out loud. I would like to be a personal trainer/fitness instructor.

5. I LOVE pictures. I have a very active family. The past few years I haven't been including myself in the pictures. I LOVE my photo albums and I want to be in them too!!!

1. Increased confidence in all areas of my life
2. Things like cheekbones, muscles and collar bones pop out to say hi
3. Cute guys asking for my phone number!
4. Being able to share clothes with my friends
5. Being able to go on hikes without passing out - expect for the "vertical climb on metal bars" one, that one sucked

Not in any particular order....

Winning a medal for best in age group at the Lupus Loop 5k, made especially sweet because I was running it in memory of my Mom.

Having a stranger ask for advice on weights at the gym.

My husband constantly referring to me as "my hot wife." But he did that before, too.

Wearing the prom gown I bought more than 20 years ago to an 80s Prom party last year and having it fit perfectly.

My bum. It's better than it was more than a decade ago.
