    I reached up to scratch around my shoulder area and felt something. Upon further inspection, lol, I discovered my bones where showing. I looked at my bf and said, Since when did I get bones?? He laughed.

    When falling asleep at night I have to adjust the way that I am accustomed to laying because my knee bones poke me, or my hip bones start getting uncomfortable.

    I can move around easier.

    My chair is kinda old and has a worn spot where I sit..well that spot is certainly not as comfortable as it used to be..lol

    NSV #1: I lost an inch around my waist.

    NSV #2: I pulled out a skirt that is a size 6 petite today. It didn't fit so great not so long ago, and today, it was fine. :-)

    NSV #3: I haven't had a soda in weeks! I was so tempted to buy one at Target Saturday afternoon, but I put it back in the case.

    NSV #4: I'm working out 6 days a week now.

    My NSV is doing a 9:40 minute mile the other day! I started out with about an 11:45 just a couple weeks ago. It's crazy how much I've improved! Can't wait to see more improvement!

    I was poking around on all my fat spots (don't ask) and i felt something strange on my side...really felt weird. THEN I realized it was my oblique. I have had such thick love handles I don't know if I ever felt them before. :laugh:

    Today I did a walk that was twice as far as what I have been walking. When I first started I had been struggling to do that little walk. Today I felt amazing.

    I was looking for some jeans this morning, but couldn't find any clean ones. I was going to just find some loose sweatpants, but instead I tried a pair of jeans that hasn't fit in years - and it fit perfectly!

    I don't hate seeing mirrors any more.

    tonight my hubby handed me his sweatshirt to wear and I said it won't fit, please get mine. He said try it. I did and IT FIT!!!! Comfortably even, not even tight. I am so excited. He is still smaller than me, but I am getting there!

    Tonight working out I was doing curls and I saw some veins. Mind you I don't want to look like a walking embolism, but the appearance means the fat is slowly melting away.

    I run for 30 minutes before teaching my Zumba class! :drinker:
    When I was at the beginning, I was looking at my Zumba instructors working out before teaching the class and I thought they were aliens!:laugh:

    My NSV was hearing my daughter's say "I can't wait for mommy to get gym cards for us !" and I always used to hear people talk about a 'mind shift' and I HAD IT!
    I am ENJOYING exercising and thinking about calorie consumption which is a big NSV for me!

    I just joined MFP today....so that is my NSV for now!!! I tracked my food for the day and have been busy reading posts and blogs and getting my profile done!! I'm excited about keeping on track and sending these extra pounds packing!!

    I did WW several years ago and lost over 60 pounds---but they all found their way back again and brought friends!! I want to get back to where I was when I lost that weight....and I am determined to do it!!!!

    Great topic!! Lots of things to celebrate!!!!

    I have NEVER exersised before in my life! Even during school (15 years ago!) I always found excuses to skip class! I ve been logging for 10 days and since day 2 I started exersising...6 days/week! I have never imagine I would ever do something like that...and it feels GREAT!

    I always found a reason not to exercise. Usually It was the asthma, it is triggered by many things. I let it rule me... No longer. I have found control, and I CONTROL it now. AdVair is my friend. I can live the active live I have always wanted. And do so more and more all the time.

    Heck, I even want to dance. Would love to do a Hip hop Class and just have FUN.

    @Canieatmore -- WAY TO GO, Congratulations!!!! Great NSV!

    Yesterday I bought a C-Cup and a D-Cup bra!
    Today my D-Cup doesn't fit as well as I hoped after a day of wear, but I don't care... I was a D-Cup (same band size) when I was 12!! It's been 8 long years haha

    I ran into an old boss a few weeks ago. She wanted to know if I had my stomach stapled.
    Yesterday a friend looked at me and said "you lost more weight!"
    I have a new boy friend, and another guy hanging around.
    I bought some new size 12 jeans a couple days ago. I haven't worn a size 12 in 20 years.
    I started walking a couple years ago and kept going. Now I jog 4 miles every day. I'm addicted to jogging.

    I have a few NSV's -

    My hubby compliments me daily and tells me how great I'm looking.
    My mother actually told someone I look "amazing" which blew me away because she is not very giving with complimenting my looks.
    My size 16's that were hidden in the closet all fit me.
    I fit into and purchased 3 pair of 14's last week.
    My body feels different, anytime I'm putting on clothes, or showering or even just walking around. I can feel that there's less of me and I love it!

    What a great thread!

    My NSV's are I feel AMAZING, especially after a very intense HIIT workout...good old endorphins.
    I'm wearing a size 8 petites pants and can squeeze into some 6's and even a 4 (YEAH A 4) in some brands.
    My performance and focus at work has improved drastsically. No more 3 o'clock slump and taking on projects I would have never taken on before.
    An old boyfriend told me I looked "beautiful"..shhh don't tell hubby he would be jealous...lol!
    No more tummy troubles and no more feeling blue all the time

    My NSV is sticking to my eating plan even though I can't excercise and my scale seems to be super glued on the wrong #. I will keep going!

    Good for you! Mine was "glued" for 4-5 weeks, but then it moved today! Keep going!

    I got an email from a friend I have not seen in a few months and she mentioned that she had been told I look amazing. Thats awesome that people are commenting to each other that I look good....It means that they are not just fibbing when they say it to my face!

    I was in acupuncture yesterday and I was lying on my back. When I started there in the summer, I could see my tummy rise and fall when I was on my back. I noticed yesterday that even when I take the biggest deepest breath possible, my tummy no longer sticks out further than my boobs! That has always been my "fat scale" so it made me really happy. The dr laughed at me when I mentioned it to him afterwards!

    I have completely cut out soda and fast food for the last three months and have started working out regularly I am proud of that. I think its more satisfactory for me to know I can eat healthy and enjoy what I have been eating great post
