    Even though I am still big by most standards at size 12/14 I feel like I have met all of the NSVs I was looking forward to!

    Short-term: fitting into my bridesmaid dress June 21 and not feeling like I can't breathe.
    Ultimate: wearing a super cute summer dress I bought last year that I haven't worn yet. It's a Roxy size L which means more like size M in normal sizing.

    Seeing my mother & sister & other family on the 25th of this month for my niece's graduation party. Haven't seen them since the fall. I'm down ~30 pounds and lower than I've been in maybe a decade. (Just found out its a pool party, uhoh LOL.)

    Also fitting into smaller clothes. I lose weight in the face/upper body first so buying a medium shirt and not having to try it on - that is nice. And now getting some results in the lower body, and being able to pack up my size 14 jeans. :)

    To be able to buy cute bras (once you get past a D they are just ugly)

    To just get dressed and feel confident and not have to try on a million things and worry that my blubber is showing

    To wear a bathing suit and not want to cry

    To feel comfortable with myself

    There's this skirt I bought over 4 years ago I think and it's so pretty and it fit then and it won't even zip up now so looking forward to that fitting again, hoping in the next few months!

    Putting on knee high or thigh high boot and a cute pair of shorts without my calves or thighs getting in the way!
    Running a half marathon in less than 2 hours
    Looking good in a full length picture again...:(

    I have been able to cross the aisle from plus-size to regular size clothes, which was a big one for me! Now I am wanting to eventually be able to get off some of the meds I take.

    Looking healthy and happy in my friend's wedding pictures when we travel for her wedding 1 month and 5 days from now.

    My tummy will be flatter, my bra straps will sit more squarely on my shoulders, and I'll be a little comfier standing around in heels all day. Oh, and my prominent cheekbones will be even more obvious -- it's amazing how weight loss changes your facial structure, right?

    I'd like to be able to see the hoo ha without shifting my fat around (I carry most of my weight right in my middle).

    I recently bought a whole outfit in my closet that is my "goal" outfit - I can't wait to be able to happily and comfortably wear it.

    I'd like to feel as beautiful on the outside as I already do on the inside.

    Call me shallow if you may but, after "getting fit" was achieved, 6pack abs is my only victory left.

    Arms and thighs that don't jiggle.

    The ability to run a short distance or hike up a hill without crashing.

    Lean muscles.

    Teeny-weeny clothes.

    Lightweight bosoms.

    Knobby knees.

    Wearing my shirt tucked in with a skinny belt.

    I carry any excess around my waist...so while the scale looks pretty good, I can never wear a blouse tucked in without feeling self-conscious.

    THIS!

    Confidence!!! I can't wait to feel confident. I'm such a better person when I'm not down in the dumps.

    I love fashion, and find myself looking at outfits on Pinterest all the time, weather it be casual or business outfits. But, when I used to go shopping to look for the items in that outfit.. I used to be very discouraged and would not buy anything! Now I am beginning to love shopping again, and I actually feel happy when I try on cute clothes. Feeling confident in my body and clothes will help me so much in my career!

    Also, I hate my thighs and can't wait until the day I can wear shorts comfortably without feeling insecure about them!

    I want to be able to zip up my cocktail dress and my orange mini skirt.
    I want to shift the extra inches that seem to have all gone on my middle and get my 'official' hourglass measurements back.
    I want a flat stomach.
    I want to run a 5k and not feel like I might die.

    I'm excited for being told my legs look good. Right now they're short and plump but when I'm done they are going to look amazing!!

    To fit into my prom dress from 21 years ago (currently hanging in my closet).

    To not feel self-conscious when I start showing horses again (I am almost there--at a trail ride last weekend I noticed I was no longer the fattest person there, which felt good!)

    CONFIDENCE. I can't wait.

    This is a weird one, but to look good in pictures. As silly as this is, I often dislike how I look when photographed, and it sort of puts a damper on so many good memories... and I HATE that.

    Skydiving. It's been on my "bucket list" for 20 years now, but I was always at least 100 lb over the weight limit.

    I was supposed to do it on my birthday this week but we were rained out. This Saturday!!!!!

    Wearing clothes that don't come from plus size sections/stores

    This. And I'm short the so plus size short people selection is not that great.

    being able to complete a 10k and then a marathon are my long term Non-Scale Victories that I'm most excited about getting to.
    For now completing a 5k in a good time without feeling like i'm gonna die would be great.

    Being able to wear smaller clothes they are so much cuter and look more flattering when your thinner and in shape.
