Thought we might want a place to share our Non Scale Victories throughout the year. Especially since all of this is not only about the scale but how you feel and all the small victories along the way!


- My first NSV of the year is today is the first day I have EVER had more protein than carbs! This is huge for me since I love bread!

    This is great! I've been gluten free since August 2012 and the carb cravings have all but disappeared. I don't really have a NSV as of yet, when I do, I will post it.

    My first NSV of the year is that I was able to buy (and comfortably wear) my first size 12 jeans since high school...and I graduated in 1981!

    Funny that you started this thread because I had a sort of NSV this morning. I was lying in bed not wanting to get up...and I was on my back with my arm across my stomach....and I realized...my arm was across my stomach! Not just lying up against it..but across it! I cant remember the last time that my stomach area was small enough for that to happen! Weird NSV I know..but it sort of blew my mind LOL!

    My NSV for today - I asked to be taken off of the CJ Banks mailing list - when asked why - told them I was no longer able to wear the clothing in their store!!!

    Way to go on all the NSVs. I love reading them and hope everyone is proud of their victory.


    I have decided this is a NSV for me. Today instead of taking a nap I walked 1 mile. I walked 3 miles total today and did 30 day shred. For someone whose previous exercise was walking to the car, I feel this is a NSV. :)

    I got my year end report from my fitbit
    In 2012, I traveled
    807 miles
    That's more than the length of the
    Alps!

    Yesterday I got up at 2 am and couldn't fall back asleep. Instead of laying in bed being mad about not sleeping I got up and went to the gym for an extra workout!

    NSV- Yesterday I was at the dr's office waiting and friend that I havn't seen in about a year, who also did not know I have been dieting, didnt say one word to me! I finally said abnoxiously, "HELLO THERE STRANGER", and she looked at me real hard and said "Oh HI, I didnt even recgonize you! Your so skinny!" Made my whole day :)

    I had a similar experience last week. I casually laid my hand on my belly and realized that it wasn't round any more. It was uneven. I felt around and REDISCOVERED MY RIB CAGE!!!!

    the next morning, I decided to do a measurement (my first). Lo and behold, I could find my waste as well. The reason that the measurement was my first was because it is hard to measure the waste when you can't find it.

    ALSO: (men: skip this paragraph). My breasts must weight nearly 10 pounds less. I think that most of my weight loss came from there. It's odd. It's very odd.

    I'm very slowly working my way up to running a 5K someday...and last night I ran for 8 solid minutes. That's a personal best for me.
