What's your NSV (non-scale victory) for this week?

Buying a suit this morning and having to go two sizes lower than my old suits and being told I'm slim by the sales guy.

Now, sales guys will say anything but...I'll take it.

being able to elliptical for an hour on level 10. not that long ago i could barely go 15 minutes on level 1
also, here's a sweet story, my son, who is 5, asked me if i wanted to share his cookie. i said no. then in a really cute voice, like he was tempting me, he said are you sure? it has sprinkles. i then told him i was on a diet. he asked what it was, so i told him it was where i couldn't eat anything that tastes good so i could lose weight and be skinny and healthy again. he then looked at me and said, mom, you're not fat, i think you're the most beautiful woman in the world. he made me tear up. i love my sweet boy.

I have a 5k this sat, called Run for Your Lives. We will be chased by zombies while navigating an obstacle course. I'm hoping to atleast complete the obstacles and the 5k. If the zombies "eat my brains" I'm okay with that.

I was able to do 40 jumping jacks yesterday without hurting my lower back! I have been working on strengthening my core muscles and it seems to be working! I didn't think I'd be able to do 10!!

Turned down the option of pizza and coke It's tiny, but it's the place to start, right?

i brought a uk size 12 pair of jeans and i can button them!! ok so they give me a muffin top but we all need something to motivate us and that is one hell of a motivation to me as since the age of 11 i have never been any smaller than a 14!!

A friend today (who I had not seen in 2 weeks) asked me if I had lost weight as I looked more "compact"! I squealed!

For me, the scale saying I'd put on 1.6lbs :grumble: but my tape measure showing I'd lost an inch off my thighs, half an inch off my waist and an inch off my hips!! :laugh:

It took me a long time to stop relying on the scale and it was, for the most part, down to you guys on this site and your NSVs!!

Cycled up a really steep hill, passing a teenager who had dismounted at the halfway stage and was pushing his bike the rest of the way. :laugh:

I went out for a friend's birthday party last night to a Mexican restaurant/club, and a stranger came up to me and said he admired my back side, the curve of the lower back, butt, and waist. :blushing: It was a huge compliment. I started with a lotta back fat.

This is a beautiful topic and truly inspirational thread. Congrats to everyone.

I had a fantastic morning. I earned my half way to 5k badge, ran my longest distance, set a new personal record for 1 mile, and got a "Game On, World" trophy for running today on Nike+ running. A few weeks ago I'd still be sleeping right now.

Anyday that I have gatorade g2 before breakfast is a huge personal NSV :drinker:

I have been feeling sooo motivated lately.. I got some awesome new workout clothes... and I have been on track for almost 30 days. Yay me!

Not necessarily from this week, but I am still grinning like an idiot over the fact that I can easily fit into a size L unisex t-shirt, and an XL ladies'-fit t-shirt. Of course, I'm kind of sad that now all of my 2XL and XL concert t-shirts are pretty much only good for sleeping in/working out in, but I think I'll learn to deal....lol

1.) I bought a smaller size jeans with the idea of them being my motivation. I figured I couldn't quite squeeze into them yet but when I got home and they fit perfectly I almost passed out!

2.) guy at work "Fist bumped" me and said "looking good!" but not in a creepy "report to HR" kind of way

I gained a 1/2 lb this week and was feeling frustrated with myself. Then I decided to measure my waist and have lost an inch since I last measured and now I feel great again and am going to reward myself with going cycling in the sunshine instead of a brutal gym workout for a change. My previous rewards would have involved chocolate!

I went clothes shopping yesterday and bought gorgeous clothes off the rack. Nothing I bought had a number in front of the size..example 3X which is what I have worn for many years. Now it's just L and XL and I still can't believe it...xoxo

Mine is fitness related. I worked my *kitten* off in Les Mills Body Combat on Friday. My average heart rate for the session was down by 12bpm compared to a few weeks ago, and I was pushing myself just as hard and could keep up with a lot more of the moves. I also didnt feel as puffed. Ive been doing about 5 hours hard cardio a week and its amazing how much fitter I am so quickly. I know the improvement will be less marked from now on but its nice to know the hard work has really been doing me good!

When cleaning I looked in the mirror and say my calves had muscle definition. I have never had a muscle definition line on my body ever! Feels great!

I bought two adorable dresses that fit me perfectly and looked great. The best part is . . . I won't even need to wear Spanx under them.

I set out to run 25 minutes as part of the 'Couch to 5K' running programme. I had a proper 'Forest Gump' moment and ended up running for about 1hr 10mins and completed a 10.5k Trail Run.

My NSV came as of today. I know I haven't been exercising or anything lately, so I forced myself to get on the scale to face what I've done and I'm up 4 pounds and thought to myself "This is IT!" I'm DONE with gaining weight and feeling like I'm worthless. I am back on track today and so far I've actually done very well today. I am making a yummy pot roast and mashed potatoes and mixed veggies for dinner tonight. I have still seen weight loss with still eating what I want, but watching my portions. I am watching my portions tonight.

I am proud of myself for getting back on track, even though the scale showed an increase in my weight. I had a quick thought to just completely give up and keep whatever I want and not working out, but I can't keep doing this to myself. It truly is a vicious cycle.

I organized the garage this weekend and found an old box of clothes! Surprisingly I got quite a few new pieces to (re) add to my wardrobe!
It feels soooo good!:happy:

There was free birthday cake, chocolates, and a candy bouquet in the break room at my workplace. I resisted them all!

FreedomReigns

The fact that i sprained my ankle pretty badly but i haven't let that stop me. I may not be able to run right now but i can still lift weights and work on my stomach!!!!!

kclarkss

Got off of diet coke and coke. Started eating lots of veges salads instead of crackers, chips and candy bars. I had a headache the first couple of days and now I have so much more energy. I don't feel so sluggish and I have gotten myself to the gym!

concavity

I was able to slide easily into shorts that I usually have to wiggle up my thighs =]

rachelbethany

I exercised every day for the past 7 days except for one. (I was sick and made up for it later.)

Also, I've lost about pounds in the past week!

I got my wedding rings on and can wear them now!!!

Whoa!! I want one of those NSVs! You are incredible!

my bingo wings have had a dramatic firming lift and because of it, my biceps are looking leaner than ever. the reason why this is an NSV for me is because it was one of the four sections on my body that i think needs the most work. thanks jillian!
