Unusual NSV's

Here's mine. I have yoga pants that have some "pilling" on the outer thighs. That's because when I first started using my recumbent bike, my butt was big enough that my outer thighs rubbed against the hand grips.

Last night I was on my bike, and I noticed that not only didn't my outer thighs go out that far anymore, but I could put my whole hand between the seat and the hand grip.

That's a big one for me!

    Mine is a weird one. Before I started, I could not move or roll around comfortably under my single-sized duvet because I would expose myself to the cold with the slightest movement. Now I can freely change my sleeping position with room to spare.

    Most people would consider running a marathon or even at the very least, a mile; a NSV. However mine was being able to run to my apartment, from my mailbox. I am guessing that that's approximately 500 feet. I'm hoping that by April 1st (my birthday), to be able to run to my local produce store; which is only a 1/2 mile away.

    I had to move the car seat closer to the steering wheel because my butt is so much smaller that I was having a hard time reaching!

    Mine is similar. Although I have not moved the seat closer, I have noticed that when I step on the breaks my belly doesn't touch the steering wheel like it used to just 20 pounds ago.

    These are ALL great!!!!! It's the small moments where it's just you noticing something in your daily life and what a difference it makes!!!!

    You guys are all so awesome!! I had that moment of realization, when I was doing a side stretch while sitting, that fat around my waist was folding less so that I could bend farther. Haha.

    I've only been poppering my coat to fasten it as doing the zip was a little too tight and I didn't want to bust it.. Anyway, as I bent down on Friday to pick up a bag, my tummy didn't force the coat to un- pop!!

    Oh my, this! ^^^ I used to be afraid of my coat/jacket shoulder getting ripped whenever I bent over to pick up something or over-stretched my arm to pick something up in the backseat in the car.

    These are all so great, and I can relate to some! Mine is feeling less like "Dino" from the Flinstones when I drive my car lol. I always felt so "tall" in the seat compared to my front-seat passenger because my head was so close to the roof. Now that my butt is substantially smaller, I feel much shorter in my car :)

    So great! And I totally understand. There have been winters where my winter coat just did not close. Or fit at all. And I just pretended that I didn't feel like zipping it even though I was FREEZING. This year I can CLOSE my coat.

    I can fit in my toddler's child sized recliner. Totally doesn't matter, and I don't think I would ever choose to actually sit there. But I'm still excited.

    Wow! What a great before/after pic. Same posture, same angle and you look ravishing! Hope you feel as good as you look.

    You probably don't do much reclining but now you have a chair if you did.
