Usually, on the 15th of the month, we take our eyes off of the scale and we celebrate a non-scale-victory (NSV) in our lives.
It so encouraging when we share what's going right in our lives, whether or not it is due to this challenge.

morning all x I've got more energy for sure and clothes feel better on even after only 7lb lost. I also feel that I am treating myself well, better. I have a better sense of self esteem because I am treating myself as someone worth looking after, worth investing time and effort in, giving myself something as opposed to giving to others all the time. it's empowering and I am loving it x have a great day folks x9

My favorite day! I love reading everyone’s NSV!
I was in a rush at the grocery store, walking fast. I realized how fast I was walking and I could feel this power in my thigh muscles, I felt like this strong, powerful and graceful person and it was absolutely effortless.
It wasn’t my imagination, I AM this super strong, powerful and graceful person!!!12 -
Here's my NSV for this month. We're at the beach, staying at a hotel we've stayed at for years. They make delicious homemade donuts every morning.
Well, the first morning I had my two donuts, tracked them and was able to stay under. I actually tracked them for all three days we'd be here.
The second morning, as I lay in bed, I determined that I was going to have the oatmeal instead. I asked God for the strength to resist (old habits die hard and I've never been here without having them). I went up to get my coffee and oatmeal, never even looking at the donuts. I was so proud of myself!
This morning I did the same thing. I did glance and saw a strawberry iced donut but keep going with my coffee and oatmeal. We're leaving this morning for Orlando so I won't have this temptation anymore but I'm so proud of myself for not having donuts two of the three days we were here.

This thread is going to so awesome!!! I haven't yet lost any weight, according to the scale, but my attitude has changed drastically! I sit at a desk all day and my steps were at 6,000/day. Since starting this challenge, my steps have reached over 10,000 almost every day and I feel better! I'm making myself go outside several times a day as I walk back from the restroom, that is furthest from my office. I've found that I'm taking more time to look at the flowers, birds, trees, etc and just slow down. None of this has to do weight, but it certainly has to do with health, happiness and peace. This is the most supportive and uplifting group I have found on MFP and I'm so thankful for the suggestion to join! I hope everyone has a great day and thanks for all you do!!15

NSV - in my other challenge, I made second-highest for total steps over the course of a week (thanks to the fitbit being able to track ALL steps in a day ...)
I am also managing to settle well into my second month at maintenance, so far.14 -

My attitude towards weight lose has changed.
Few months ago, a family friend(couple) that have known me for years, came over to my house just for weight management advice. They've observed me lose over 50lbs and maintained for the past 9yrs.
They came with paper and pen. Recently, they called to thank me and also report of the compliment they got from their doctor and about their weight an attitude.
My NSV... positive influence on those around me. This is was one of my desires when I started this journey.

thank you Yes I am hard on myself. I am trying to change my negative view of punishment for getting older/out of shape to a positive view of I will be stronger/healthier.
This is for you to encourage you.

You know you might be Italian when you go to lunch with your son and sit for over an hour and then access the missed steps that hour and find Fitbit has logged 275 steps lol!8 -

hey there x I've enjoyed reading the thread this evening x 3xyes for me 3 walks with my daughter today so this challenge is good for her; the more physical activity we do together (shes 7) the more she wants to do she's loving it - what a NSV!! 3 x yes today but to be honest I'm eating some rubbish food even though am coming under calorie limit - I'm basically eating what I used to but not quite as much. I'll Google some more nutritious food- any suggestions are welcome x best wishes all x7

Happy NSV day! Love reading these and will come back to read the rest tomorrow.
37 weeks pregnant so my answer to all of Rick's questions is a no! My clothes are not looser, I do not have more energy, and people are most certainly not asking me if I'm losing weight but saying things like "Wow! You couldn't be any bigger" and "ooh any day now."
NSV - still striving for those daily yes x 3 healthy habits. Having a (touch wood it continues) straight forward and healthy pregnancy. Being healthy and able to still work - got one more week to go. Even took the children I teach on a school trip today. And managed to submit my final assignment for the post grad qualification I've been working on. So maybe I do have some energy from somewhere thanks to the UAC!12 -
Yes 3 xs for me today
My NSV this month is the confidence I have that if I take a pass day that I know I'll get back on track without damage!12 -
