So since I've been at school it's hard to find a good time to weigh cause I only like to do it before i've eaten, but the scale i have doesn't seem to be very good so I should use the gym scale but i'm self concious, so I've been going off of NSV's now mostly because i'm also now lifting (NROL women) so I might be gaining pounds but I can see differences that are good.
Okay I have 2 NSV's 1.I was talking to my friend about staying with her in Hawaii and her friends are all reeally skinny, she is thin but not super skinny, just normal sized, and i was saying I'm gonna feel obese around her friends on the beach and she said that's how she feels and at least I'm tick as F**k and tan so I'll fit in more. (tick means like really in shape). So yay! friend thinks I'm in really good shape and muscular
and another is today I looked in the mirror after taking a couple days off from lifting (so the muscle "pump" had gone down) and I could see ab lines and felt really good.

share yours!

    We had ice rescue training this morning and a friend posted pics on his facebook. My wife is looking at them and has one with my back to the camera, she says she didnt recognize me...only the jackets I had on...cause I was one of the skinny guys in the pic. Gonna have to get that girl something nice for Valentines.

    A couple of weeks ago I went out to the movies and was pleased that I fitted comfortably in the seat. Embarassing a little knowing that I was uncomfortable before but not admitting it to myself so pleased to admit that the comfort was there for the first time in a long time so that was my NSV, hopefully more to come ;-)

    When I put my bathrobe on after my shower today, I noticed that there seemed to be more material to wrap around myself in the front. :)

    I put on a pair of jeans this morning and they promptly fell off.

    And I'm feeling so totally f**king amazing, I reckon I could do double back-flips if I tried.

    small one - we had a fire alarm the other day in my condo. In the past i would dread these since i'm on the 18th floor and i'd be out of breath by the time i finished taking the stairs (lol). would often just handwaive it away and say meh, i'll just stay here and play the odds.

    well now that i'm working out and running 3x a week that fire alarm was not met with dread at all - could zip down the stairs without any effort, felt good man.

    This past week I have been so discouraged. I stuck to plan 100% and gained two pounds. I was fit to be tied. I decided just for the heck of it to do my measurements and was pleasantly surprised to see that even though the numbers on the scale climbed I had lost 1/2" from both my waist and hips. That was a great NSV!

    My brand new size 12 skinny jeans were a size big when I tried them on at home after buying them. I don't try on in store anymore, no need now. I guess that's 2 NSVs for me.

    I'm a college professor and last week I subbed for another prof and then taught my own classes. So, I taught 3 classes back to back for a total of 4 1/2 hours of standing and walking around a classroom without a break. When I got back to my office it dawned on me that NOTHING HURT!!! -not my feel, not my back and not my knees-nothing hurt!!!!! I could not believe it, so I went for a walk the next day for 40 minutes and again - NOTHING HURT!!!! I was so excited, I sent a email to my son to tell him about it! If I never lose another pound, at least I will not hurt anymore just doing my job and living my life and that is a terrific NSV! :drinker:

    My underwear don't fit as tight anymore...which is a huge relief. :tongue:
    My double chin is fading away VISIBLY fading away. THANK THE LORD.
    My watches and belts and arm sleeves are not as tight and I can even go to a different hole I wasn't able to before. :happy:
    My grandma and my mom tell me I'm getting so small every time they see me from a different angle.
    When I run on the treadmill, I don't make as much noise!!!!

    NSV's rock, man.

    I've had loads the last month... my favourite must be when I realised last week that running is my new favourite de-stressing activity!
    Also the skinny jeans my wife bought me a few months ago now gap at the waist... but are too tight around my calves..
    6-pack is starting to show.
    My 7-year old said last week; "Wow Dad, you are really strong!"
