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:

    Good job!! Way to stay focused and not let the scale detour you from your progress. I love NSV and will take those over scale victories any day :happy:

    Awesome! I think that's pretty much what we all want, when all is said and done.

    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!!!

    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!

    I noticed a slight difference in my face on friday versus a pic I took just over a month ago! I look healthier and a little slimmer!

    Still, it's a fantastic NSV! I see that happen sometimes with pics, and I don't understand why either.

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

    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!
