I don't know what NSV stands for exactly but my recent victory is fitting into a size 14 jeans again. Yay!
Plus breaking the weight loss plateau I've been on for the past 2.5 months.25 -

@Lightwaves1 Woot! Congrats on both of those!
NSV is Non-Scale Victory. Since is so easy to get hung up on the numbers on the scale, it's important to remember that weight loss is not about those numbers, but about the difference the weight loss creates in little everyday things (and some not-so-little). It's especially important when you're stuck on a long plateau to remember that the real prize - or one of them, anyway - is fitting into size 14 jeans.

Went on vacation for a month and lost weight instead of gaining! Didn't have access to a scale. Getting the hang of intuitive eating?21

I hate pictures of myself, but I felt so great after my hike today that I took a selfie! Then I posted it on Facebook and made it my profile picture! Then I posted it on here! What's happening to me?! Lol

My NSV this week was fitting perfectly into a shirt that I squeezed into when I bought it 5 years ago, and realizing that this means I can now wear everything in my closet (except maybe a dress that would be way too baggy)!
It’s taken me a long time, but I’m finally back to my “normal” weight. This time, however, I feel empowered to reach my healthy weight!25 -
@SaritaJack Thanks! The hat is a kids hat from Cabelas lol! Good job fitting into your "normal" weight clothes!! I have a long way before I reach that myself but I'm so looking forward to whipping out that suitcase!
@Needtoloseweight43 Thank you!!7 -

I was standing at work in them they were only touching my hips and as I walked around they slipped lower and lower. They are so loose they feel a little like wearing sweatpants heh heh! I am doing it..I really am losing weight!
@hobbitses333
Sometimes the scale lies (water retention, particularly once a month for women), the mirror lies (we can't see our bodies change), but clothing always tells the truth! Snug pants falling off, yep, that's honesty letting you know that you need a smaller size and a belt would also be a good investment to prevent embarrassing situations where your pants do fall off (only happened to me once, then I immediately bought a belt).7 -

Oh yes I agree haha! I got a belt at the thrift the other day. I have a pair of goal jeans that are wayyyyy too small...for now!
Oh yes, for a real eye opener; save one pair of your pants from your heaviest. Just jam them into that back of your closet. When it comes time to really shock someone (and yourself) take a picture of your new smaller size pants with your biggest ones.
Also, I have completed repurchased my entire wardrobe twice over now, including socks. The socks one shocked me a bit, didn't realize how much I would lose on my feet.9 -
I went clothes shopping in the depths of my closet, and found pants I can now wear, and they don't have elastic waistbands!! And I fit into a beautiful sparkly Christmas top, that used to be too small, and I've never worn before!17

I cut out a beautiful blue lace dress about 8 weeks ago, then I never sewed it up. I finally sewed it this weekend and I am needing to take it in! Now I just need my husband to take me somewhere special so I can wear it. We are going to Paris in December but I am hoping it is way to big by then.22

I know this may sound silly, but I went from morbidly obese to in the obese category today. One step closer!!70

I heard about thigh gaps. But not toe gaps! I was sitting and looked down at my bare feet and noticed gaps between each of my toes. Where did those come from!?

I just got back from a holiday and my friends took lots of pictures from lots of different angles - including bikini shots and I don’t hate any of them27
