    What does NSV mean again?

    NSV= Non-Scale Victory

    It means changes you notice in your life that don't necessarily refer to losing weight

    I got a really nice compliment from one of my bosses today... She said something like "wow, you're looking great! You're my inspiration to get up and do something!" :laugh: and I fit into a pair of size 10 jeans pretty comfortably now :) a few weeks back, they were really tight! :happy:

    I had a couple but the best one was fitting into a size 2 (true size 4) perfectly today. I will be returning the size 2 shorts and getting a true 2 short in a brand I really want! Not in the slightest near goal but it's an NSV nonetheless!

    I've had many over the last few years, but my favorite would have to be being able to shop at Old Navy! It seemed like i bought something new every week.

    Yesterday I was able to fit into my bridesmaids dress for my best friend's wedding. Two months ago I had about 3 inches to go to even get it close to zipping. Yesterday it zipped. Haven't lost much weight yet, but that dress fitting completely made my day.

    I work at a chiropractic clinic, so have some patients who come in once every month/2 months/4 months, etc. I had two patients yesterday that said "You're losing weight!" (as a statement, not a question). One I hadn't seen since last fall, the other it had been about a month and a half. That felt pretty good.

    Although I had to laugh to myself after the second one, right after her comment, and my big grin and reply of "Yes, I am. Thank you!" She asked "are you trying to?" Uh, no honey, I just woke up one morning 10 pounds lighter. Damnedest thing. I guess maybe she was worried I was sick, but my cheerful reply should have indicated it was something I was happy about. Gee, don't I wish I could lose weight without trying! (without something being wrong, of course)

    new jeans are too big?!

    some one saying that I always looked good and put together - when i was heavier and less happy i was a trainers jeans and t shirts girl so this was a really big thing for me!

    looking in the mirror and not seeing the old me. finally seeing the new fit/ strong me and being happy looking in the mirror.

    I've been traveling in Chile for a week and had packed several sweaters, shirts, and pants.

    This morning I tried on all the sweaters - and they're TOO BIG! Two of the shirts too. They just hang on me.

    I may look lousy going out today, but I FEEL GREAT! These were my NEW 'skinny clothes'.

    Bingo. I look in the mirror and see the old me that I remember.

    I dress the way I used to and have to DRESS DOWN (like I used to when I was young) because I get too much (positive) attention.

    I have to laugh at myself now, but yesterday was no laughing matter! I was so upset that I hadn't seen any change in the scale in 2 weeks and I was complaining to my hubby that I was getting discouraged, and all my hard work seemed to be doing nothing, so I took my measurements. I hadn't had a chance to check them against MFP until this morning and it showed a 4 inch drop! Feeling great today! On the bad side. My favorite pair of shorts from last year barely stays on my hips anymore. *sigh* :wink:

    I stayed up too late last night watching a movie with my currently at home college kids. Got up and went to the gym this morning anyway! It was one of those tough workouts both mentally and physically, 5th workout this week and overtired. You know it's going to be a loooong workout when you are telling yourself you are 1/12 of the way through. In the past, I would have psyched myself out and quit early. But NOT today. I was determined to do every minute and I did.

    I tried on all my summer clothes before packing them for my holiday (which is next week yay!) after assuming they would all fit the same as when i took them on my holiday this time last year.

    ALL of them are noticeably big - skirts that were tight when i bought them now sit perfectly on my hips, or are loose around the waist - so loose that i dared to try them on with a bralet and show off a little midriff, which i never ever thought i would be comfortable doing!

    Well done on all the NSVs, so motivational! :happy:
