    As someone who is trying to get off BP meds through diet/exercise/weight loss -- YES. I definitely think this counts as an NSV. And, since it's such an integral part of your health, it's probably more important than a SV. Way to go!

    That's an AWESOME NSV... and one that tells you that you ARE improving your health... for certain! Good job!

    In my eyes, any "victory" that comes with weight loss, but is not related to the scale is a NSV.

    YES!!!! Although outward appearance is important, so is your health! That's fantastic!

    Absolutely! Damn fine NSV!

    I've had borderline high BP since my first pregnancy induced hypertension, now down to 115/75, which makes me :happy:

    I would say that health related NSV's such as this are MUCH more worth bragging about than appearance related ones.

    That is a better nsv than any of the meaningless aesthetic ones.

    That's super awesome! I would love to get my blood pressure down. I haven't had it checked in a long time but I'm hoping my eat habits have helped fix it.... Even with a healthy wait I'm ALWAYS pushing 160. :frown:
