Mine happens to be the day that I looked down at myself and my stomach was no where to be seen (as it stuck out past my breasts for a LONG time). I about jumped out of my pants!! That was the one nsv that I remember clearly and the most.

    I was pretty happy I noticed my back fat roll was gone. I didn't even really realize I had a back fat roll until it was gone.

    When I bought my first bikini ever, July 1, 2011. I never owned one prior to that.

    When someone I had recently met and had a training class with noticed what I was eating, asked me about what I was eating, and then we got on the subject of weight loss and exercise. He asked why I was doing all that I was doing...he thought I was skinny. That is the first time in a long time someone blatantly commented that I was skinny without having any preconceived notions of where I had come from.That stuck with me because I had always been referred to as that "chunky" or "fat" guy. That was when I realized that I had actually changed my body to the point where someone I did not know noticed me as someone who wasn't overweight, but a healthy weight...it's like, "Hey, I arrived".

    The first time I was able to wrap a bath towel around myself. I burst into tears in the bathroom.

    When I bought an item of clothing from a store that wasn't the only store I was able to shop at for 12+ years. The freedom of more than one store!

    Non-scale Victory -- those wonderful moments that show us how we re doing regardless of what the scale says. i.e. fitting a new size jeans, having someone else notice your weight-loss, any victory not related to the actual weight on the scale!!

    Oh well, then I had one just this week! Yesterday, actually. I was able to put on and wear a pair of jeans that I've not been able to wear in a year. Not only that I've have to tighten the draw string on my lounge style pants 3 times now. My favorite though is that I've not wore 2 different shirts and they were not tight on my arms! :)

    When my mother told me my butt looked smaller. She's the type of person you really have to earn a compliment from.

    When I tried on a dress I bought when it was way too small for me and by then it was way too big on me... I didn't expect it at all. GREAT feeling!

    Definately When I bought a bikini and looked awesome in In May 2011. I haven't worn one since about 1986!

    Last week during gym time for special needs adults, one of my guys asked how high I could jump, and I shocked myself by being able to touch the rim. (Landing on my reconstructed hip was no fun, but I limped away smiling.) I haven't been able to do that in 5 years, and figured I never would again.

    Getting into a favorite dress that hadn't fit in a long time, and having everyone compliment me on my "new" dress because they didn't remember ever seeing me in it.

    All of these are great!!

    For me, it'd have to be when I felt/saw my hip bones. I still put my hands on my hips sometimes just to make sure they're still there, haha :blushing:

    When the owner of the company I work for publicly congratulated me via a company wide meeting and our newsletter. Yeah, I got a lot of jealous hatred towards my way but it was worth it. She is very supportive of me as well, offers a lot of encouragement. I think its win win, I represent the company better by looking better so she is happier because she is a gym nut !

    My most memorable NSV was my first; bending over to tie my shoes without grunting, struggling or pain. It will stick with me forever!

    Now that I know what NSV stands for- mine is when I was able to fit perfectly into my old favorite jeans. The same ones that the year before I could not get more than 1 inch past my knees!
