My 1st NSV :) What's yours??

Awesome thread, awesome comments. My NSV is being able to exchange a new dress purchase for the next size....down!

I've actually had 2 recently!!! My MIL told me I look really good & you can see the change especially in my face! (I'd been getting compliments for the past week but that one was my favorite!!! 2 ~ I've been able to squat down w/o falling over & then get right back up again WITHOUT using my hands to help steady myself OR push myself up!!! Haven't been able to do that in a LONG time! oh & 1 more... I can fit into my 2x shirts & my 1x-18/16 size pants!!! I started out at 3x-4x shirts & size 24 pants!!!! I'm still all kinds of cheesy grins & giggling!!! :blushing: :laugh: :happy:

The falling down pants is great, isn't it? (well, not without its problems but...) Posted this on my wall already but going to post here too: yet one more person in my jazzercise class came and asked me how much I have lost "I was standing behind you - your hips are smaller, your waist is smaller, even your arms are smaller". Made me beam.

I can do Zumba for an hour without having to catch my breath ))))

I've been putting my slacks in the dryer in hopes that they will shrink. Going to the restroom takes much less time since I no longer have to unzip or unbutton them.

Now THAT'S funny!

Went to my daughter's musical concert around the end of Dec. and trying to fit into the seat was TIGHT squeeze. It hurt and actually I got some bruises just from sitting there for an hour. I started my journey Jan 1 st I have lost 26.8 lbs & a lot of inches My daughter had another concert 2 nights ago and guess what I fit. I didn't have to squeeze in at all. I could actually just sit down. I was so happy.

Embarrassing but my first major NSW was how easier to clean and wipe "back there" as before it was a sweating chore.

I bought a pair of shorts to walk/jog in - size SMALL! When I started 20 months ago, I wore 2X-22W. I didn't think it was even possible!

What does NSV stand for?

I finished the C25K program. Scale didn't really move but my clothes fit differently. I am pretty proud of myself that I completed it!

Great Job!!! I'm on Week Three and I'm kind of dreading next weeks five minute jogs. XD

Putting together a box of clothes to donate because they are now too BIG. So many times I donated clothing that was too small. Never again!

I thought I was going to have to buy a bunch of new clothes for my honeymoon in a few weeks, and I didn't really want to, I would rather wait until I was a size down. But the other day I got out my spring summer clothes and found that a bunch of stuff I had hung onto, even though it didn't fit (too small)... FITS!

Hello again, adorable sundresses and capris, I've missed you!

My NSV last week was at the doctor's actually! The nurse was taking my resting pulse and without any prompt, said "you must do cardio." And I asked how she knew and she told me that my resting pulse was 60.

Not much, but it made me feel awesome that she knew that, and that my cardio is doing something good for my health besides just my looks.

I work at an animal hospital ....... we sell prescription food & some clients just aren't able to carry the cases & bags out to their cars ........ I'd have to hunt down another staff member to lift & carry ......

But no longer ....... after losing weight & working out, I'm more than capable of schlepping a 40# bag of dog food outside AND carry on a conversation with the client at the same time ..... it's all good !

Congrats on everyone's NSV's :drinker:

My NSV happened yesterday when I realized I have lost enough weight to NOT have to drive with my steering wheel tilted all the way up!! There was actually room for my legs with it tilted all the way down and they didn't stop the wheel when I made a turn! I do prefer to drive with it up now due to just being used to it that way but, the fact that I have the option to tilt up or down or not at all....thats a NSV to me!
