List of NSV's since losing 41 lbs. Why do I think they're embarassing? They're very simple daily activites that I didn't realize were impeded by my weight until I realized how easy they are now to do. Here's the list:
1. I don't have to hold my breath and reach between my legs, leaning one direction or the other, to tie my shoes.
2. I can put a pillowcase on my king size pillow without wrestling it to the death
3. I pick up my daughter and realize she weighs about as much as I've lost.
4. I can bend over to pull weeds without feeling my heart beat in my temples.
5. I no longer teeter when I start to walk after sitting down for a long time.
6. I no longer am worried about my hip catching the lid of my drink at the movies.
7. I no longer wear clothes that begin with the #2.
8. I can walk away from most food without getting angry about it.
9. I haven't used my inhaler in months.
10. I can sit "criss cross applesauce".
11. I don't have to do the double butt bounce to get myself off the couch.
12. I don't have to use my arms to get off the couch.
13. I don't spend as much time on the couch.
14. My knees do not crackle as loudly as they used to when I go down a flight of stairs.
15. I can walk up a flight of stairs rather quickly with minimal effort.
16. I actually get cold in an ice hockey arena.
17. I no longer snore.
18. My blood pressure is down from 165/95 to 120/85.
19. My BMI is down from 49% to 38.9%.
20. I no longer arrive at a restaurant before everyone to insure I get a table instead of a booth.
What about you?

There are so many. I have lost 130 pounds and have had many NSVs, the most recent one I noticed is that a regular bath towel fits all the way around me and covers my body...don't have to use the bath sheet anymore to do that
Your list is great and I think these are the things that really matter in the end.0 -
I think this is the best NSV yet!!! And wow to #18 (blood pressure) that is FANTASTIC!!0

My first one when I was doing WW five years ago was that my underwear were falling down inside of my pants and instead of bunching up they were bunching way down low. That resulted in an "emergency underpants run" one vacation.:blushing:0

1) It does not ruin my day to go into fitting room
2) I do not have to worry about going to theme parks and rides
3) No one asks me if I am pregnant
4) I do not photoshop my pics so my friends on FB will think I am thin
5) My husband is always telling to put my clothes on because I like being naked0 -
Those are wonderful NSVs, I hope you are proud of yourself, because I am proud of you! I cant wait until I have lost as much as you have 0

NSV= Non scale victory.
Those are some great lists that got me thinking.
1. @ V ball league I can play an entire match without breathing like I am about to give birth.
2. Get to shop in the M-L clothes racks versus the 2x. (Sucks also because M/L are most common and less choices because of that).
3.When I pedal my legs dont keep bouncing my gut.
4. I can see my belt ;o).
5. I see less irritation on my inner thighs when doing any activity.0 -
Those are all amazing NSVs.
I no longer worry about love handles. They have melted off of me and my tummy is finally flat! I don't have to worry if a pair of pants will hug me the right way or not.0 -
