... Your first NSV?

My first NSV was when I was able to cross my legs under my desk! It's funny how something so simple had such a impact on my journey.

So, do you remember your first NSV (non scale victory)?

    Probably fitting into a size Large shirt. It didn't have the word "Extra" to preface it. Or an "Extra-Extra".

    Being able to fit into Size 8 jeans...I had to take them off in the dressing room once and put them back on again because I couldn't believe I was able to fit into a Size 8. Then I went out into the area where they have triple mirrors. I was so happy, I was standing there giggling at myself.

    My first NSV was when I didn't have to pull my shirt out of the crease my back boob made. :D!

    I was able to dry my t-shirts and not have to stretch them out before wearing them.

    Not having to hang dry them to avoid shrinking, actually drying them fully in the dryer lol.

    The first time I smiled and my cheeks didn't touch the bottom of my glasses.

    Being confused because my jeans were so loose I thought for a second I had put on my husband's jeans.

    When I tried on a pair of shorts that were pretty snug the summer before and they were loose in the waist and thigh. I was pretty shocked since I hadnt noticed much of a change.

    I've been a member since 4 Jul 12 and have lost 15 lbs. Just the other day I had a non-scale victory: sitting in lazy boy and realized my legs were crossed at my ankles.....I thought "wow, it's probably been 2 years since that happened! "

    Mine was actually the same as the OP...I was just talking about that with my roommate the other day. How gratifying it is to be able to go to a restaurant and cross your legs under the table!

    Realizing I could no longer wear my usual pants without also using a belt to keep them up. Then after that going to a different notch on the belt because things were once again too loose.

    My first NSV was when I said no thank you to birthday cake and ice cream at a party. It was the first time ever that I was able to say no to cake and ice cream. It felt realy good.

    My first NSV (before I knew what it was) had to be when I finished a mile on the elliptical in less than 10 minutes. :D

    Realising that my engagement ring is getting loose on my finger. It was an okay fit before - though a bugger to get off - but now it slips on and off effortlessly and I can spin it round my finger with ease. It isn't falling off yet, but soon I may have to get it resized! I've had bad experiences losing sentimental pieces of jewellery because they were too loose on me and I definitely do NOT want this ring to fall off, though it will mean I've lost a hell of a lot of weight!
