Share your NSV (Non-Scale Victory) of the day! 11/3/12

I love these posts! Congratulations to everyone. I have had so many little things and they feel way more amazing then even seeing numbers on scales!
I went out last weekend and wore a tight fitting dress (haven't been able to do that in ages) and I posted a picture on FB, followed by notifications on notifications of people saying how amazing I'm looking.
I started at a large size 12 now hardly any of my clothes fit me and I brought 2 pairs of size 8 shorts the other day!
I now love going to the gym and exercise!
BUT the most amazing thing of all is I now have respect and love for myself something I was hugely lacking!
Loving this life!

I bought two new pairs of jeans in a UK size 14. One's a tiny bit tighter than ideal, but I'm waaaay happier with them than the 18s I was wearing a few months ago! The trousers I bought three years ago - thinking that they'd be an incentive to lose weight - have fitted me for about three weeks, and are already loose!

Big NSV for me: when I catch sight of my reflection, I double-take to check that I really do look like that now - it's been over ten years since the outside was even close to how my head wants to think I look!

I want to go on a big shopping spree, but have another size to go ideally. Might not be realistic, but I want to give it a shot...

stayed @ the gym for 1.5 hours today and burned 800+ calories between the elliptical for 50 min and treadmill for 40 min.

I tried on a bunch of my old clothes because my mom wanted to donate some, and I'm amazed what fits now! I have clothes that are five years old that fit pretty good again (that's freshman year of high school). I don't notice the progress on my body as much as in my clothes.

Today I wore a belt around my hips that I used to only be able to wear up around my natural waist! And I went bra shopping and went from a 36D to a 34D! lol both huge NSVs for me. Also I walked around the city for almost 6 hours straight today and my back didn't hurt at all.

I can finally shop in the non-plus-sized section of Target. Not for everything, and I'm in the largest non-plus size, but this is huge for me.

I did 45 minutes on the rowing machine this morning.

I have three:

1) I lost the weight of a border terrier. Found that out when i weighed him and weighed almost as much as I started with both of us on the scale.
2) Made cupcakes today and did not eat the batter or anything of that nature. That was very hard but I DID IT!
3) My work clothes used to be tight on me and I remember having to suck in and jump to get into them and now they are getting baggy. We are about to switch uniforms and have different color pants so I am waiting on getting a new pair.

Congrats to everyone; these are lovely to read.

Mine from the last few days:

- I can cross my legs easier without one leg way up in the air
- I can tie my shoes easier
- I'm shrinking out of the only two pairs of work pants that fit me. Gonna have to buy some new ones.
- Two of my lovely friends told me 'You're shrinking!' when we were going to a Haloween party and I was feeling self-conscious about my much tighter than normal clothes...

Got my behind out of bed early Sunday morning (while other half is still snoring) and got the gym.
Two hours of me against my aching muscles before i need to cook Sunday lunch :-)

Let's get started early today- share your NSV's here! I haven't done much yet besides wake up and eat, so I'll have to post one later on today!

I know that this was for 11/3/2012 I had posted this on 11/3 & shared on my News Feed. I actualy had 2 NSV's on Saturday, November 3, 2012. I couldn't sleep so I came on MFP to see if there was any challenges for November and seen this thread.

1. ♦♦NSV ALERT! ♦♦I have an Awesome NSV to share with you'all! My daughter told me out of the blue, that my double chin is disappearing! She said it has shrunk so much that it doesn't even look like I have one any longer! It is Very motivating and inspiring for me since the scale has not moved down at all! .... I praise God for even the smallest of victories!

2. Gave away 3 bags of Clothes, Shoes and Jackets to a charity that was having a yard sale this weekend to raise money for at risk youth! They raised/made over $300.00 on Sat morning alone!
This definitely encourages me to keep working towards my Ultimate goal!!

Congratulations to everyone on they're NSV's! Count your Blessings name them one by one! Every little step leads to GREAT accomplishments! Others always see it before we do. Results are seen not just in the # on the scale, but also by the image we see in the mirror, the way we feel, the way our clothes fit, etc.


Be Blessed in health, healing, and wholeness! (¯`’•.¸(†♥†)¸.•’´¯)
Have a blessed and prosperous day! AMEN †

I'm in my pre-children size 38 (US 8) wardrobe again, that's 2 sizes down and I haven't even reached my goal weight yet!

(Edited to undo some of those annoying iPad spelling "corrections")

I can now fit into a pair of my best trousers that did not fit 3 months ago :happy:
