Fit into some rides at Disney (e.g. Space Mountain) that I couldn't before!

I know what you mean. I was excited about that too!

1. actually noticed my belly had gotten smaller (I don't notice these things)
2. I watched a pizza hut commercial and didn't immediately salivate and obsess about getting the pizza asap (this is HUGE for me!!!)
3. A tight pair of jeans I have (but they are stretchy) kept falling down little bits as I walked.

After losing fifty lbs, I finally got a job... and kept it.
For a whole YEAR! And I'm still going!

Love watching my work belt slowly wrap further around me, lol!

The best NSV's for me so far are:

1> Having to tighten my belt 2 notches and working on a third notch to keep my pants from falling.
2> Being able to bend over and touch my toes or bend down and not have trouble breathing because my gut was compressing my chest.
3> Being able to reduce my BP medicines and still have a "normal" BP range.
4> Being able to run faster and longer on the treadmill.
5> Needing to buy new "medium" shorts as "large" shorts are falling off because they are too big...

About 2 weeks ago I went to Victoria Secrets and FINALLY my boobs are shrinking :bigsmile: went from 40 E to a 34 D. I was stuck at 36 D for the longest time then got to a 34 DD and couldn't get that extra D off the end and to find a 34 DD is not easy.

Ive moved out of the super dangerous Blood pressure category I was in. I was measured at 180/103 and I have no idea how long it was like that. I instantly eliminated ALL the TV Dinners I was eating, the Mr Noodles (pure salt, like 3000 mg per pack) and all other canned foods including what i thought were "healthy soups" . My last measurement this week at the Dr was 144/89. Still high and I am still on the medicine as I am still 239 lbs at 5'6". Maybe someday Ill get down to a healthy range.

Less serious NSV is ive gone from 46 waist pants to 44

Non Scale Victory. Its a small positive change in your life regarding changing your lifestyle that does NOT involve the numbers on the scale.

I literally just started my transformation and already I can attest to nUmber 3. I have been eating clean for just 1.5 weeks after coming off a diet of TV Dinners, giant folded donair pizzas and poutine ( I am Canadian). I also spent 20 hours a day in the corner of my couch now I cant even sit for a minute and I get restless cause I got energy bubbling

Some of my best NSV's:
1. Eldest son joining in (without me knowing it) and losing 50 lbs on his own because "dad was an inspiration"
2. Fitting relatively comfortably behind a steering wheel again
3. Watching my kids devour healthier meals (chicken and brown rice stuffed peppers, spaghetti squash spaghetti, salads, green smoothies, etc)

laurels12

1) Gone from UK 22 to UK 16
2) Hugely embaressed when I got new work trousers and I couldn't get them on. Now they're too big!
3) Lots of compliments from friends and also some people that I didn't even think knew I existed!
4) Gone from Morbidly Obese to Obese
5) Hated cross trainer and struggled to last 5 minutes when I first went back to gym, can now do 15 minutes.
6) My 13yr old son, out of the blue, told me that I looked really slim!

Biggest one for me, is for the first time ever, being absolutely certain that this time I will get to my goal. It's not just something that others do, I can and WILL do it too!!
