Share your latest NSV!!

That's awesome--- it's always nice to have someone notice your weight loss----

It's okay to indulge once in a while...

p.s. I am a newbie, been here for two days, what is a NSV????

Remind me again. What is an NSV?

nsv=non-scale victory

Knowing I can go buy a few new out fits today, since today I finally lost my first big mile stone. Yes, it is a scale victory and a very well earned one But I just feel so good like I can accomplish anything now!!!!!

Congrats to you for having great will power!!! It takes time but you will achieve what you are striving for!!!

It's always nice to have someone notice and then SAY something about it!! So good for you! Best those fries tasted yummy! lol

My nsv?? I did my weigh in a measurements today and I am back down to 48-38-48 which means that I have lost a total of 18.5 inches off of just those 3 measurements in 3 months.

Started out in Jan on the last notch of my belt - I am now on the first notch of the same belt - that's five on the other side of the keeper

I went to visit my son and daughter-in-law last weekend. I started my weight loss journey at their house the end of December. I really do not see any difference in myself even though I am down about 30 lbs. I had gotten dressed to go horse back riding and my daughter-in-law commented on how large my blouse was. I had brought another top, that was smaller, but I thought it would be to small. What a wonderful feeling it was to be told the top fit and wasn't too small.

I've got a really weird one. This past week I have had an itch in the middle of my back driving me insane! Well, I realized yesterday that because I have lost so much "back fat" now, I have space between my bras and the middle of my back and the tag on my bra is tickling my back!! Promptly cut the tag and problem is solved. Never expected that one. : )

my size medium underwear keep sliding down and not staying up (especially when I am working out -- LOL...).....going to have to invest in some new size small ones!! I am happy with that

I love these threads! The bra-tag-tickle story made me laugh!

I have this whole professional wardrobe that had slowly gotten out of reach, but since starting MFP in January it has been coming back into reach ... Yesterday I wore a shirt to work that I have not been able to wear for four years! That felt good! In a few more months nothing will fit because it will be too big! :bigsmile:

NSV = Non-scale victory!

I was kinda bumming cuz my favorite jeans are getting to the point where they are falling off me. I thought they were the 18's, but nope, they were the 16's! So for grins, I tried on a pair of my old 14's and... OMG they fit! It's like opening up a new section in my closet! I started rooting thru my tubs full of too small clothes & they are beginning to fit! It's like Christmas! lol

I understand what you mean! I have lost 19 lbs since joining MFP. Before joining I only had about 5 shirts and 1 pair of pants that fit me. I promised myself over a year ago that I wouldn't buy any new clothes until I got smaller than the clothes I already own. Well...the last 2 weeks I've been starting to fit into my old clothes. It's a WONDERFUL feeling!!! The only problem about having more clothes to wear is that now I can't decide what to wear :-)

I've been having a lot of these NSV's recently:-

1. People noticing the difference and complimenting me etc - I hate it though because I never know what to say
2. Clothes shopping - after going through every hole on my belt I finally bought jeans 3 sizes smaller....I need a new belt already
3. Swimming at a public pool - I went this morning, it's the first time i've had enough confidence to do this in 10 years (!)

I could go on but it's just little things that no-one else would understand.

I finally HAD to buy new clothes yesterday. After trying on new shirts and shorts I was actually embarrassed about the oversized clothes I had on. I started off in 4XLT shirts and size 46/48 pants and am down to 2X/3X and size 42 pants! Yesterday marked the first time in YEARS that I've been able to buy clothing not marked "Big & Tall" and it felt amazing!

Congrats to everyone else on their progress! It's a long, hard journey for some so it's very inspirational to read other people's successes.

1. My watch goes all the way around my wrist!
2. I can put my 3rd finger and thumb around my wrist
3. I can do 40 mins on an elliptical trainer
4. My bras actually fit now and my boobs are more perky!
5. 5th notch on belt from 1st
6. I can feel my pelvic bones
7. I can curl up in the foetal position to sleep!!!
8. I can bend down and touch my toes without going red in the face!!

This is a great thread!
This weekend has been filled with NSVs - I went shopping for clothes four times with different friends as everything that's in my closet right now is really way too big, and I've gotten several compliments from every single of those people on my weight loss! It made me so happy, and buying small sized clothing was an amazing bonus.
Also, I was at KFC on Friday, I ordered some grilled stuff (though I think they somehow add oil to that as well, so not really a difference), I didn't feel guilty (which is a great step from my past) and actually just felt so sick that I decided I really don't like junk food and omitted on Saturday when everyone was having bucket of fried chicken and fries. Felt very good.
And today, I put down the kind of bread that looks a bit whole-wheatish (but in fact is just a colored white bread) and has an amazing crust, and so I was lying to myself that it's not so bad and ate always a lot, because I love bread. Now, I said to myself that if I won't omit down now, I'll never get rid of the addiction and will only be disappointed with myself, and I just took all the willpower I had left and got rid of that amazingly looking thing. Feels great.
