Hi everybody :) I'd never heard of non-scale victories before I joined here, but I love the idea. I think I finally have one I am proud of, even if I'm not totally there yet.

I have never, for as long as I can remember, been able to squat down. I'm not talking exercises, I mean literally squat down to get something off the floor or something like that. My knees just wouldn't go that way. Last night, I thought I would try, and I did it! I did ten in a row just to prove to myself that I could. It hurt and I had to use my hands to balance myself, but it was still very exciting for me :)

    Congrats! I know how freeing it is to have that ability. Though I tend to do the "bend over on one foot" thing instead. Now that you can squat, it is now safe to travel in China where that is required for many of the restrooms if not most. hehe

    Seriously though, way to go!
