    I've had a number of NSVs on my journey so far, but the latest ones have me smiling and dancing for joy. One happened last week while working out on my gym's stairmaster. I get so very sweaty while on it and the hand rails are metal, so they get a bit slippery despite being textured, and I went to wipe my hand on my butt....but it wasn't where I thought it should be, and my hand ended up finding my butt much closer to my body than it used to be. Obviously I lost weight back there, but I hadn't noticed how much until that moment!

    The other was when I was shaving my arm pits last week. I hadn't been having troubles before because being obese meant that my armpits were flat, so easy to shave. With all the weight I've lost and now the weights I'm lifting, my armpits are now concave, like they were when I was a teenager. Difficult to shave, awesome to realize that I'm really making some huge progress here!

    I've got a few:

    Running to the gym, doing a leg workout, then running home afterwards. Wow, major NSV.

    My driver's license photo is only three years old, but now looks like 3X me.

    This shirt I'm wearing, it fits. The pants I'm wearing are loose.


    These small things constantly AMAZE me. I had NO idea I was capable of this two years ago. And now... wow!! :D

    Having my crush tell me he had no idea what I was worried about (in terms of how I look) because I looked the best he had seen of me in 1.5 years. <3

    My undies kept falling off of my while I was working out this morning. :blushing:

    I had to keep reaching back there and pulling them up.

    LOL!

    This is super silly. Yesterday I got on a real outside bike and rode it for the first time after 19 years of being deathly afraid of trying again. Nineteen years ago I was hit by a truck on a bike and was afraid to ride again. I overcame my fear and did it. This is a huge victory for me.

    That is HUGE! Great Job!

    3 in the last week or so:happy:
    1. Bought a bag of Pumpkin Spice Hershey's Kisses, didn't open for 3 days, haven't eaten more than 3 in any given day.
    I never thought I'd reach a point where I could eat just a few and be satisfied. I still have a sweet tooth, luckily Stevia seems
    to trick it, and now when I have the real thing I am satisfied with much less
    2. Had a head cold that led to laryngitis, I went to Zumba anyways, maybe I didn't burn as much as usual, but I was Droppin' It Low
    With everyone else:bigsmile:
    3. Bought a pair of Orange Crops in a size 14 about 10 days ago, they were too tight in the bum and thigh when I bought them. I figured for $2.99 that they'd fit soon enough, well, soon enough was yesterday. Must be all the Gangnam style and Drop It low.:laugh:

    LOL drop it LOW! Awesome~

    Two things.

    1. I tried on knee length boots and they fit my calves !!!

    2. I went to the park and went on a swing without my thighs being squashed in

    OMG this is what I'm dreaming of! I hated the experience of buying boots last year!

    Size 14 skinny jeans! HOLLLAAA. Okay only some brands, but still!

    Actually, being able to a ZIP size 12!

    Didn't eat ANY of the pizza that my sister brought home that sat there on the counter during the night, then leftovers this morning. DIDN'T eat any. And I used to work there, and love it. So that's huge! :)

    I've made a commitment to training for and running a half marathon.

    LOL. Same here! I keep telling my trainer to hang on a sec, as I have to pull up my big girl panties.

    Got a few:
    1) Starting to see the beginnings of a six pack.
    2) Was told by the Core class instructor that pretty soon I'd be able to teach it. Also trying to find ways of making on-the-ball crunches harder by adding weights.
    3) Will soon receive training to be a spinning instructor.
    4) The belt I bought to replace the old ones (holding up all the giant pants, its getting ridiculous) is now being used on the smallest hole.
    5) Everyone I haven't seen in a while remarks on my weight loss (I mean EVERYONE).

    People I've been maintaining since August, but I'm getting leaner and stronger like you wouldn't believe.
