    My most recent non scale victory is having people telling me that I am losing weight and my stomach is so flat every day, and that I need to stop lol. They keep telling me that, and I know for a fact that the scale has not budged for awhile. It means that my body is making progress and getting more lean, even when the scale is saying something else :).

    Fit into my "before I got fat" suit, went to a function and got the "Double take" from some coworkers :smile:

    I fit into a pair of pants I didn't fit in before, and I didn't have to strangle myself to get into them! I also noticed that not only have I lost at least an inch on everything (arms, waist, hips, etc) I also don't have as obvious back rolls. That was one of my big moments, when no matter what shirt I wore, I had what some people would call "back boobs" and they're slowly shrinking away!

    Oh I didn't see this thread and just made my own but i'll still share! :)

    My most recent NSV! I bought this jacket last fall and was super bummed when I couldn't even zip it up. It tried it back on June 22(top 2 pics) and I could zip it!! But barely. It was quite snug and felt like busting at the seams. I tried it on this morning (bottom 3pics) and was shocked! I actually can move around in it without it being super tight on my belly. I haven't done my measurements lately because I didn't feel like I had changed much. Guess I was wrong! Just gives me more motivation to keep pushing! Day 46 and many more to go.

    You absolutely were wrong!! There is a big difference! Congratulations and keep up the great work! :)

    I now fit in ALL of the pants and skirts I own (and had to donate a bunch that were too big). Still working on squeezing in a few old dresses, but I fit in almost all my old clothes, which is exciting!

    I don't! LOL! Good on you!

    In March, I tried this skirt on in the Betty Page store in San Diego.
    It didn't even close to fit, and I cried in the dressing room. I bought it anyway because it was on clearance.

    Today, it fits. Easily.

    This skirt is AMAZING. I would have bought it too!

    for the first time since I can remember my trouser size starts with a 3. At one point (the pic on the right) I was a 54/56.

    Also - completed week 2 of C25K - after the warm down gulped when I saw the next week was 3 minutes - so I turned on the stopwatch on my phone, covered it and started running. 4 mins later I looked at the phone. woo flipping hoo. get in there. ran for 4 minutes after completing a 30 minute session! 5k here i come (in about 8 weeks after repeating week 5 but who cares. 4 minutes)

    I got a light scolding today by the folks who run the gym for leaving my weights on the bar the other day.
    1) I didn't actually do it, 2) I LOVE the idea that they thought I did it! A year ago, they would have never assumed it to be me! :) Big win!

    When I was mowing the lawn on the rider this week I was shocked to see when I turned the wheel for corners the muscles in my forearms actually stood out quite a bit! I don't ever remember that happening before.

    HI GUYS! Take a peek at my profile pic! BECAUSE....today........THOSE are my OLD jeans. My regular jeans. My precious lucky brand jeans that I dumped in the closet a year ago because I couldn't bear the sight of them when I gained all the weight. The same pants I still couldn't zip up or button 2 weeks ago. The same jeans I have worn pretty much all of my adult life from 25 to 32ish. I will from this point forward be so happy with my progress each and every single day. Yes, I like the scale dropping. BUT GOSH I LOVE MY OLD CLOTHES (do people still wear bootcut jeans?!?!?! When it hits 100+ degrees? WHO CARES I WILL LOL) :p

    Fitted, sure, but if I can bend in them and sit in them all is well in my world. In another 10 pounds they will fit like regular and perhaps not quite so *ahem* form fitting. But darn it all....HAPPY DANCE THURSDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It took 7 months and some change which used to seem like forever, but now seems not that long.

    The taste of victory is sweet, my friends!

    My nsv is that thanks to my change in lifestyle my husband has also lost weight and fits back into his wedding suit. He's recovering from surgery so exercise is an issue for him, so all my hard work has been helping him too. :)

    1) Well done! :dizzy:
    2) Well I hope so - ALL my too small jeans are bootcut and I can't wait to get reacquainted with them!!!

    I always see the 50 lbs to loose advert. and thought I'd check it out. I then realized I actually have less than 50 lbs to loose!

    I got back from my lunchtime walk to find a chocolate bar on my desk (from a well-meaning colleague). Instead of eating it I put it in the work fridge, where it will stay until someone else gets the munchies.

    A few non-scale victories for me recently :)

    - I went on a run! I haven't been on a run outside in 3 years because I was embarrassed, and preferred the treadmill in my basement. I even did lunges and "quick jumps" on the curb without flushing from doing them in public!
    - One of my exercise tops (size 10 and previously very tight) was loose today during my morning workout.
    - I don't need coffee anymore! I'm getting an ok amount of sleep and my morning workout wakes me up! It's a good feeling to not be dependent on caffeine. I still have some later in the day when I have a long day, but morning coffee has been in my life for a looooong time.

    So inspiring to read everyone's NSV :)

    Yesterday....neighbor down the street stopping me to tell me how good I look and how much I have lost. But I always feel the need to say "but I have more to go...."
    ^ This! I know, for myself, that I do this all the time. Why can't we learn to take a compliment? ;-)
    My most recent NSV was being able to grab a pair or pants off the rack and just buy them without trying them on. A year ago, that would not have been even a possibility. I used to have to try on everything because I never could tell if it was going to fit or not, tops or bottoms. Now, I don't have to! Also, my husband wants to start going to the gym with me, and my daughter wants to go on run/walks with me. I am getting my whole family moving!

    I am close to being able to run 5 miles at once, in an hour! I couldn't run for a minute when I started. I have also lost an inch off my waist, thighs, and hips in the last two months.

    The pants I was wearing 6 years ago at an almost unhealthy skinny fat 125lbs
    1) Fit (had to lose about 30 lbs)
    2) Fit better than they did then (no muffin top!)
    3) I am 15 lbs heavier

    Yay weights and adequate protein. Screw you scale!

    ha ha Screw the scale! And good for you. :smile:

    Seems to be a common victory over the past day or so on here...but...I also managed to not only survive C25K week 5/day 3, but I ROCKED it and finished strong! I was so nervous...but once I found my groove it was all good! I wont say it was easy, but I am proud of how well I did!
