    I tried on a pair of shorts today that I have not been able to button in years, and I was able to today :) I couldn't sit down yet or breathe well...but I could button them...so that's a good sign!

    Things are moving inch wise!!! Not a huge thing by any means buts it a tangible thing so I am thrilled!

    Wow! That is some NSV! Must feel so good!
    Today my NSV was that the pants I just bought a couple of weeks ago that I wore for the first time today are already big. Not that big of a NSV.
    The biggest one I have had lately was this past weekend when I was cleaning my house. I was climbing on the furniture to clear the cobwebs in my living room. I realized that the first time in my life I wasn't afraid I was going to break anything. I've been heavy my whole life...this is the lightest I have been since middle school. It was such a freeing feeling.

    This one is kinda weird but I have noticed that :smile: I do not have heartburn anymore:smile: since I started excersizing. Awesome. Do not need to buy tums anymore.

    my running shorts were sliding down a little while i ran :> i won't be able to afford new shorts for a few weeks so i'll be pulling them up for a while, but i'm happy nonetheless!

    i also ran a bit faster today and still had energy to sprint at the end of my run.

    i also realized that despite the fact i'm running in the same ****ty walmart running shoes i bought when i started this whole endeavour, my feet don't ache or even hurt before/during my runs. i don't even think about them! i must be getting lighter :)

    mostly same! i used to have really bad heartburn that would wake me up in the middle of the night and i'd be up for a half hour because i couldn't lay back down
    i get heartburn pretty infrequently now! i had some today but it wasn't too bad, i took two tums and it went away for the rest of the day.

    I managed a steady paced 30 minute walk non stop today for the first time since getting pregnant and my 27 week "bump" loved it :)

    non-scale victory. anything good that happens because you're losing weight that isn't tied to a number on the scale

    I voluntarily lowered my calorie goals on MFP. I guess my body has gotten so used to the already-reduced number of 1900 and I'm not starving all the time and eating less than that most days anyway. Now I'm trying for 1700. Easy so far!

    Wow, I just noticed that I don't either. I haven't taken one of my acid reducer pills in around a month! :bigsmile:

    As for my own:

    Doing dishes this morning, my wedding band slipped off my finger. That's a first!
    I'm used to wearing 2X shirts. Yesterday I put on a plain ol' Large that my daughter gave me and it fit!

    Yesterday while me and my kids were doing a fun little zumba game, my 6 year old daughter said "Mommy, you look like you are shrinking." That just made my day. :)

    This is one of the first things I noticed. I believe for me it is simply a result of not constantly overeating. Peppers, onions, cucumbers used to kill me. Now I eat them all the time.

    My NSV. I have nothing that fits me except a few things I bought last week. Everything else is baggy and falling off. I never saved any skinny clothes because I just figured I would alway be fat. Now I am starting to look like someone who got his big brother's hand me downs.

    My NSV was two days ago...my husband graduated from Basic Military Training this week and on Thursday during their Airman's run, he looked right at me and away. Later when we got to see each other, he told me he didn't recognize me at first because my face was so thin! He was also impressed with my loss and said my triceps were better than his!

    Today we are going for a run once I can pick him up from base so being able to do that with him will be another NSV! Last time we tried to run together, I could only go two blocks at a time and have to walk. Now I can run 2 miles! Just hope this Texas heat doesn't kill me!

    These NSVs are so heartwarming.
    Great big well done to you all.

    My own NSV is that as of today I am no longer obese!! :)

    My size medium yoga pants that I haven't worn in a month are now a comfortable fit instead of a tight squeeze, despite the scale refusing to budge.

    Wow. Your spouse didn't recognize you. That's funny.

    My NSV was that I was able to purchase a new shirt that is smaller than I would normally ever buy, and its a completely different style than I have ever purchased in my entire life.

    It took him a second, but no, at first glance he didn't. In all fairness, the last time I was this size, I had a completely different body...running has shaped it more. I almost didn't recognize him either, until he smiled. I'll always know his smile!
