I wobbled and had a really bad few days and gained about 4lbs. So, first part of the NSV is that I didn't let it bring me down, my friend on MFP helped get me back on track and I have lost those pounds again.

However.... the second part of this NSV is that, even though I have got back to the same number on the scale, my measurements are down MORE which shows that all my walking (while pushing a double stroller and carrying another baby in a back pack) is working at toning up the rear end!!!

LOVE hearing all the success stories here but I find the NSV's are the best!

    Nice job on getting over that hump!

    I've been pulling out old fall/winter clothes as it gets colder -- and my pants/sweaters are all noticeably looser than they were when I packed them up... So I tried on a super old pair of jeans I haven't been able to fit into since college practically, and they slid right up! :D

    Getting out of the car at home from the gym today, the FedEx guys slowed down and checked me out. That hasn't happened in YEARS! Major ego boost. Yeah baby.

    Non-scale victory!

    Like, I had to pull out some old jeans becuase my "new ones" were too big!!!
    And I got honked at twice yesterday in the parking lot at my office - been years since that happened!

    nsv is a non scale victory....

    My nsv today was being able to put my socks on just by bending over....I didn't have to sit sideways on the couch and pull my foot up. Big nsv! haven't been able to reach my feet in ages.

    My NSV: I'm currently sitting (comfortably) in a pair of jeans that I could barely button in July.

    The dress I'm wearing today was, frankly, too damn small a while ago. I wore it anyway, but it was *ahme* snug. Today though I have to keep checking the zip as the dress is loose enough to keep making me paranoid that the zip is open.

    I've been losing so sloooooowwwwwly, but my pants have been getting looser. This morning, I thought I would try some old pants that had grown too snug, and are a size smaller, AND THEY FIT!!

    13 pounds does make a difference. :laugh:

    Just bought a new pair of jeans today because the new pair I bought just 2 weeks ago is too big. Down 9" in the waist measurement since I started.

    Last week while on vacation we played 2 rounds of putt-putt. I was able to bend over and retrieve my ball out of the hole every time. A year ago when we played I could not do that.

    A couple of days ago I looked in the mirror and saw a different face looking back at me.

    I've started pulling clothes from the back of the closet that haven't seen the light of day since I got pregnant over three years ago. I'm a little diappointed that I haven't needed to buy new jeans yet but I'm on the smallest notch on all my belts.

    Tried on a size 8 skinny jeans last night and they fit great! I am currently still wearing size 10s because that's what I have, but they're all getting a little big on me so I thought i'd try for the hell of it. I was sooo happy they fit!

    My NSV today was having to go through 3 pairs of pants before I found a pair that fit. The previous ones were too big. :)

    I also realized this morning that I don't even think about taking the elevator in my building anymore. I automatically take the steps. Down and Up.

    Woot!

    Who's better than all of us today???

    NO ONE!!! That's who! :)
