So I've seen success threads with before and after pictures or stats, and I've seen success threads with pictures of the weight you've lost in objects, but what about documenting those awesome Non Scale Victories (in this case, symptoms of your weightloss rather than focussing on your weight!?)

These are mine, add and explain your own! :)

My size 8 (Aust) dress I bought off ebay, was so scaredit would be too small and it was too big!

My treadmill - I used to aim for 30 mins and I would run for the first 3 minutes, walk for 5, run for 2, walk for 5, run for 45 seconds, walk for 5, run for 45 seconds then walk the last 7 and a half minutes (does that add up? roughly that anyway)

Now I run for the first 15 minutes, walk for 2, run for 5,walk for 2, run for 5, walk for 1.
(notice my little blue hand weights in the background? wow I'm sporty these days HAHA)

    I own about 5 pairs of jeans... which in June all fit me except 1 pair, which were too small. Now, I only fit into 1 pair of my jeans. Guess which ones :bigsmile:

    my fave NSV is my bestie has cut WAY back on her beer & drinks water instead & for late night snacking, she purchased fruit & yogurt!
    AND at work, the co-workers who started out teasing me (bugs bunny) brought a HUGE veggie tray to work for everyone to share AND at lunch yesterday THEY ate veggies instead of french fries

    my favorite skirt dropping to my ankles at church! okay, okay, that didn't really happen, but i had to keep pulling my shirt down to cover my posterior because the skirt sat so low on my hips! it is way too loose to wear again without some alterations!

    btw- i can't imagine actually losing my knickers in public! that's horrible and fantastic at the same time!

    The clothes I didn't think I'd ever fit into again, fit again or are too big!!! 3 months ago, I couldn't run down the street without stopping. Now, I can now run 5km straight!!

    The first of August, I stopped by a Thrift shop. They had a rack of various clothes for $1.50 each . There were a bunch of really cute jeans in size 5 and in like new condition. I was going to get them for my granddaughter. I held them up and they looked like they would fit me. I tried them on and they did!!!!. I put on the cutest pair last week and they almost fall off! :love:

    A few months ago my GF and I were shopping and I found a Ralph Lauren button down shirt that had been marked down to $20 from $85 but it was a size smaller than I usually wear. Since I had been losing weight I went ahead and bought the shirt and put it in my closet and kind of forgot about it. Last night I remembered I had the shirt and tried it on and it fits so I put it in the washing machine and I will iron later. Tomorrow is my birthday and the GF is taking me to a nice dinner and I an going to show up wearing this new smaller shirt, she will be suprised.

    my favorite NSV - I have a few -
    Running a half marathon - without stopping and finishing it :)
    buying a dress in a size 4 even though i was scared to try it on

    my boyfriend picking me up last night and saying - you're so light! - made me smile and my heart smile too :)

    I ran my first 5k without stopping. I hadn't done that in over 20 years.
