NSV (Non Scale Victory) Not shared enough. Let's hear it!

Run4Me2Day

I have been trying to post more NSV moments lately, because so many people focus on the scale. For me the NSV moments are just as important or more important then that number on the scale. A couple more recent moments for me have been:

1. Being able to pull my pants down over my hips without unzipping them. So I brought them in and gave them to a lady at work.
2. Being dedicated enough to workout even at 9 in the evening.
3. Having people ask me what I am doing to lose weight.

What is your NSV?

1. Having regulars at the gym tell me I look so different!
2. Being asked by the regulars what happened if I miss a day at the gym.
3. Being a size 16 instead of a size 24.
4. Finally being excited about shopping for a bathing suit.
5. Being happy enough with myself to be ok getting my picture taken.
6. Having a good friend of mine ask me to be her supporter while she tries to lose
7. Feeling guilty on days I just can't make it to the gym.
8. The massive amount of energy I have everyday now. I hate to sit still!

All of my pants either fit right or are loose now. Someone made the comment to me yesterday that my pants look baggy! Yay!!

NSV = All my XL shirts are TOO large. And now I can buy button-front shirts and they don't gap. VICTORY!

1. my step brother coming to visit from california ( last year when he saw me I was 220 pounds) he said dang! sister you lost a lot of weight. your looking really good girl.

2. my size large shirts and my size 16/18 pants are way to loose on me all my clothes are to big for me.

3. had a binge break through when I choose not to eat that chicken nugget when it was offered I said no thanks I already ate.

Being able to stand straight up without having to lean way forward to get out of the chair.

Had to dig through the closet to find a nice pair of pants for the firs time in a while (started a new job where I can wear jeans everyday, so haven't needed them in a while). The ones I had been wearing were comically big on me (although, to be honest, they were a hair big on me even at my biggest) and the ones that I had a hard time buttoning last summer are, if anything, a bit big on me.

I had to buy a compete new wardrobe for summer! Absolutely nothing fit from last year.
Oh and I am enjoying shopping for clothes again! Hated it before because nothing fit. Now I can shop in any store! :happy:

ALL my victories are off the scale.

my newest and favourite NSV is that I don't have the beginning stages of "Oprah arm" anymore.

I no longer have a "tight" feeling in my my upper arms when I bend at the elbow.

1. Having to buy a size 6 in lucky brand shorts when i went shopping( I started out wearing an 8/10). Still have them but they are loose.
2. Buying a bikini and for the first time in a few years...and being happy about it
3. Having more " I feel good moments" when looking in the mirror

I saw a neighbor I hadn't seen in awhile who didn't know I was working out, eating better, etc. She said "wow! look at your arms!! Are you working out all the time, you look great. Your face looks different, you've lost weight everywhere!"

Always feels good to have people who don't know you are trying notice and say something, especially since I only lost 10 lbs and mostly wanted to tone up. It's not the kind of change most people notice but she did and it made me feel great. I didn't notice how toned my arms had become.

1. All my favorite shirts for work make me look boxy because they are too big. Time to go shopping.
2. Friend at dance class said, "Are you getting smaller?"
3. Recent trip on an air plane found the seat comfortable, not a tight squeeze.
4. Had to buy new bras
5. I was able, for the first time in 5 years, to buy clothes in a store that does not specialize in plus sizes. I nearly cried.

My biggest one has been getting rid of all my old clothes. This week I finally gave up on a bunch of old sweaters and at the end of May I'm getting rid of all the old dress shirts I have that are way too big on me. I've also bought a bunch of clothes recently that were tight and are now feeling loose! Hopefully after this summer I'll be rid of all my old XL clothing.

My neighbor told me that she thought I was my teenage daughter's friend before she recognized me (I am 40) Woot! Woot!

Although I've yo-yo'ed, my favorite NSV was the moment where I WANTED to exercise and eat healthy. It was no longer some chore I had to force myself to do. These things became my routine and my habits instead of this over-analyzed crusade...

Ugh, I need to get back to that place... :-(
