NSVs!

I have been kinda bummed because my scale has been fighting with me these past 2 weeks or so. Weight loss stalled completely. Then, for a few days, I was actually UP 3 lbs. I think this was because I actually increased my calories a bit in an attempt to get the scale moving again.
Today, the 3 lbs was gone, so I am back to where I started 2 weeks ago. HOWEVER, on a whim, I decided to measure my waist. My waist is actually 1.25 inches SMALLER than it was two weeks ago. After I saw that, I went and weighed myself again, and this time I paid attention to the other numbers on my fancy-shmancy scale. Turns out my body fat percentage has also gone DOWN 3%. I'll take those as NSVs any day! :happy:

Awesome! I think that's pretty much what we all want, when all is said and done.0 -
That is an awesome NSV... the scale doesn't usually give the full story.
My NSV for today.... realizing that my bath towel wrapped around me. All the way. NO gap!!!0 -

I got a couple on Sunday!! I have been doing outdoor bootcamps since May 7th. I go 3-4 times a week, plus we walk at home at least 5 days a week. So Since starting my boot camps I've lost 8lbs and almost 9". I went to my mommy baby group yesterday and heard 5 seperate times how good I look! Plus today my MIL saw a picture of me from there and commented on how good I'm looking too! YAY!!! Makes all the hard work fee worth it!0

NSV=nonscale victory! Which is usually WAY WAY WAY better than seeing your weight drop on the scale!0 -

It stands for Non Scale Victory.0 -
I had one of the guys I work with call me "skinny" today. That is a huge compliment coming from him (he is extremely active and is the head of the lifeguards at the beach here) and he doesn't compliment you unless he means it!0

Non Scale Victory

-

Saw myself naked in a full length mirror at the gym today and realised my abs now show, and no, I am not posting pics :-)0

I had a similar NSV. I lost an anemic .2 pounds but on closer inspection I had lost .9% body fat and gained .5% skeletal muscle. The drop in fat and the muscle increase more than make up for the low number.0

good job! way to stick it out!0

I sat down on the top rung of my step stool and my butt fit!0
-
The sleves on my button up, 3/4 sleeve shirt can be rolled up and buttoned (military style, as one of the opitions to wear it) WITHOUT cutting into my arms or being uber tight.0
