    Non-Scale Victory. Little things that you notice happening while losing weight that don't have to do with the number on the scale. I had to google it when I first started on here! :o)

    An example is being able to fit into an old pair of jeans that didn't fit before, or having someone compliment you on your weight loss, or being able to say no to an extra piece of desert. (:

    NSV's are wonderful, especially when the scale isn't moving!

    Ok ... a scale victory is when you lose a milestone ... or whatever ... example ... I lost 5 pounds ... that's a scale victory.

    A non scale victory (NSV) is when you go down a size in clothing, a hot guy checks you out (when a guy like that wouldn't have looked at you before) or you can finally see your collarbone after not seeing it for so long. It's the little things that make you feel better about all the hard work you are putting into your weight loss journey.
