This is totally a scale victory, BUT my BMI has dropped 20 points since I started! Today I finally crossed into the 40’s. looong way to go to get to the 20’s, but every day I’m closer!4

You're also getting close to having lost 30% of your starting weight. That's amazing.3 -
@alevans4 you are right! That is hard to wrap my head around!1

My NSV is bittersweet. I can officially no longer wear my wedding ring. ☹️. It has fallen off twice. I’m getting smaller but not small enough to get it sized yet. Will have to go in the safe for now.2

@cnavarro002 I have a similar one. A ring my grandmother gave me when I was a teenager is now too big. I’m waiting until I get to goal to get all of my rings sized, so I don’t have to risk multiple resizes.0

Oh no! How about until you are able to resize it, you wear it on a chain around your neck? That way at least you’ll always have it with you!1 -
That’s a good idea. I LOVE my ring and i hate not having it.0

Today I had a non scale victory. I go to pound class every week,but my preferred exercise is in the pool. In any case, I had a huge abdominal surgery a year ago and find some of the ab workouts hard during pound class. Due to the lack of a strong core, my hips hurt during those ab workouts and I often need to stop and rest during the song. Today...for the first time..I was able to finish all the songs without a break! That felt awesome!!3

After finding this thread I now know what nsv stand for. I have a few that I can think of. When I started this journey I tried to do squats, and planks. I couldn’t even do 5 squats or a 10 second plank. I have worked my way up to 30 squats, and then I do one additional squat and hold in the squat position for 30 seconds. I can hold a plank now for over a minute. I have had to ad three new holes to my belt. The last hole I added was 3.5 inches from the previous. I can now bend over and touch my toes without having to bend my knees. I know there are more that I can’t think of right now.3

Last weekend I did two things I have never done before. Saturday I went to an aqua Zumba class and I loved it! Sunday I went to an actual Zumba class with the expectation that I wouldn’t get through it but told myself I would hang on as long as I could. Well I made it through the entire hour and 15 min and I was so proud of myself!!5

This week has been temptation city for me, and I am so proud of handeling it. My husband and I share a birthday plus we have a big Easter dinner every year, and I stayed within my calorie goals and was even able to have cake at the celebrations. I mean I felt like an addict in a crackhouse, especially last night when I was stuffing eggs with those Mini Cadbury eggs and didn't have enough calories for one and had PMS, but I resisted.
Plus my bff got me Jessica Smith's Walk On Walk off the weight in 30 days DVD and I did day one today. I'm telling myself I can do this DVD because it's "only" 29 more days. Short term, numbered exercise goals may be the key for me?3 -
Had Easter with family and friends, some of which we don't see very often. One of our friends, yelled out "Cindy are you losing weight?!?" in front of everyone. Caught off guard and not wanting to admit it, I quickly responded with "Nope" even though I'm down 40 lbs. My cute hubby @cwrisbeck quickly yelled out "Yes she is!!" with a proud grin on his face. Great NSV when others finally start to notice!3

Wow - everyone is doing such great work!!!
I got into the next size down jeans and wore them out in public. Of course the yoga pants went on again as soon as I got home. I'm so used to non-binding clothes (yoga pants) that jeans dont' feel really comfortable, but I'll get there.

@MzCara148 Congrats! Woo hoo! I know exactly what you mean though. I’m still trying to get used to jeans. I’ve worn nothing but elastic waistband and yoga type pants for several years now.1

I had a few more over the weekend. A friend bought me a couple of shirts and a pair of short. Because he said my clothes were swallowing me. I was wearing a 5xl shirt. He brought me 2xl shirts and they fit. They were a little on the snug side but not too bad. I was wearing a size 48 pants. The shorts he brought were 42, and they fit perfectly. I was also able to not indulge in any of the Easter candy my kids got. I also managed to work out in my yard putting up a new fence on Saturday. It was pretty warm here in Texas, and not a cloud in the sky. So the sun was miserable. But I worked from 7:30 in the morning until dark. With only a couple of breaks for trips to the hardware store and a lunch break. Before I would do good to make it 30 minutes to an hour then have to take an hour break to recover. On the scale side as of Friday I had lost 3 more pounds for the week. I don’t usually weigh until Sunday’s, but I knew I would be able to do it Sunday. I went to my in laws for the first time in two months so before I started my journey. They were all amazed at my changes. It was nice to have somebody make that big of a deal over what I have accomplished so far.5

Non scale victories lately have been that I haven’t been feeling bloated, my feet which swell when I get too much salt have not been swollen at all, and my skin has cleared up and there is absolutely no acne (which no 36 year old woman wants to sport!)4
