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.

    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.
