Losing weight is great, but the number on the scale isn't the only thing changing. NSVs (non-scale victories) are just as important!! And just as much worth noting!!

I know it's technically still May =P but i had a NSV I shared on my profile that i thought would be a good start for this thread!!
!!!NSV!!!! =D I'm down another notch in my belt!! I am bowling High 5 this weekend and my pants kept falling!! I finally said screw it and attempted to tighten the belt, and i could COMFORTABLY!!! =D I also was able to buy a size smaller in pants for tomorrow! They're a little snug, but it's a size smaller!0 -
not that long ago i was looking in the mirror wondering where i lost the weight. the scale is down but i still look the same to me. I dont normally wear belts but noticed i now NEED to wear them. After pulling my old belts out i saw i was using holes that i never was able to use before. That was a good feeling!!0

I am in work tonight wearing new uniform that I had ordered, have went from a 42" waist to a 34" in my trousers and from XXXL in a polo shirt to a Large. The amount of compliments I have got tonight is unreal, I suppose because I have still been wearing my old baggy uniform my losses haven't been as noticeable to my colleagues, well they have now. :laugh:0

Today I am wearing my smaller pair of jeans that I couldn't wear all winter because they were painfully tight. They're still a little tight but at least I can wear them again! That's a great feeling and a great motivator to keep working until they fit even better. It's amazing how much better I feel now that I'm watching my sugar intake as well.

That is brilliant, some times wee moments like that are even better than seeing the results on the scales :drinker:0 -
This weekend and last weekend I've rode many miles ... nearly 100.
I feel more energetic, I am certain that my legs are much stronger, since my average travel speed is higher...
My back is holding up well which was by biggest concern.
Even though the scale is moving in the wrong direction... I feel really good, and much better than I have in quite a few years.
No doubt I'm improving my diet as well!
Life is GOOD... That's my NSV!
Enjoy,

This morning, I was pondering what to wear when I thought to myself, "Hmm maybe I'll try on my favorite plaid button down." Mind you this button down hasn't fit me for probably 1 year or so but when it did fit, was one of my favorites. Lo and behold, put it on, buttoned it up and it fits perfectly! Wearing it today at work and couldn't be happier. Woot Woot!0

This is great! And sounds good! It really is the smaller things that lead to the big ones!0 -
Someone told me I looked skinny. I'm no where near skinny but it still felt good. They said my waist whittled away0

On the 4 of July I was looking for shorts to wear to our outing and had a pair in the back of my closet and figured why not try them on. To my surprise they fit comfortably and that's what I wore to the outing. When I came down the stairs I had the biggest smile I could not wear these last year they were so tight they didn't even come close to buttoning. This is the first time I have noticed a change even though I have been losing weight.0

Heather, I imagine that you still have that smile on your face. Great Job0

Heater... don't you dare back off...:grumble: . You really did Awesome last month... Stick with your program and don't tweak it too much....
Based on you ticker... you're about 11 lbs. shy of loosing 30 lbs. ... You really could be there at the end of this months challenge..
Say this right now.... "I'VE LOST 30 LBS." ...now do it again, ...and then tell me how good it feels.... :glasses:
Oh and a sidebar... You'll also be digging in the back of that closet again and fitting into other things you enjoyed wearing a long time ago!
Buckle down and make it happen.... You'll be so proud of yourself for doing so!

You've lost 42lbs. That's Fantastic!
Here's something that you can try for reality check!
The next time you are grocery shopping, go to the meat dept. Find the economy size packages of ground beef.... (you know 10 or 15 lb. size package), load into your cart 42 lbs. worth.... look at it a bit and as you put it back know that what you've lost is equal to what you're returning....
That is why you are looking skinny!
Thanks for sharing too... the NSV are my favorites!

A few weeks ago my wife had found a brand new belt that she had bought me a few years ago but I had never used as it was far too small even at the biggest setting, I have been wearing it on it's smallest setting but today had to punch a couple of new holes in it. Have also realised that I am wearing my youngest sons track suit bottoms tonight by mistake (we both have the same black Addidas bottoms but his was much smaller) haven't told him the good news yet. I might just check out his wardrobe tomorrow lol0

Love hearing that Smirnoff.... You've make a lot of life style changes and that is having a big effect on everything you do. Hard work has it's rewards and you my friend have just begun to see the many rewards! Congrats and Enjoy!
