I've only lost 10 pounds so far but I have so many little Non Scale Victories that I thought I'd share and start a thread.

1. My size 12 jeans fit again! They haven't been worn in a year and I really missed them because they were my favourite

2. Someone finally noticed for the first time today that I've lost weight and commented that I seem happier

3. I was really hungry today when I got home from work. The old me would have ordered a large pizza, cheese sticks, and Coke. Instead I am munching on some Greek yogurt until suppertime.

4. When I was buying my groceries a few days I noticed after I put everything on the belt that it was all healthy. I was a little stunned but felt really proud. It used to be all crap that came out of boxes. I also drink a lot more water and consume a lot less sodium.

5. I inspired a co-worker to get back on the fitness wagon and lent her my 30 Day Shred video since I'm done.

So those are a few of mine. What are some of yours?

Nice thread -

1) My workouts are getting easier

2) I have been 100% dedicated to working out daily

3) Some only complimented me on my workout yesterday saying I was getting better

4) I've lost 3.5 inches

5) I can run for longer now

6) I eat broccoli now and it's only since I started MFP. I love broccoli!!

Blood sugar and cholesterol "normal" for 6 months!
"Compression shirt" looks... well, OK.

1) My face is clearer than it's been since before I hit puberty.
2) I don't need coffee anymore (except for Mondays, when I have to be up extra early).
3) My stamina in kick-boxing drills is improving.
4) My classmate remarked today, "Look at you and your little flat belly!"

Nikkei24 · February 2012

1) My clothes fit better.

2) I have gained a lot of inspiring mfp freinds.

3) My journey is inspiring others.

4) I can actually run and not only can i run but i have gone over 30 mintues straight. (huge for me considering a full minute used to kill)

5) I have a bette rrelationship with food.

muwchck · February 2012

I don't tire out as easily as I did just a couple of months ago while playing with my boys! That's a big one right there for me!

mhotch · February 2012

I am maintenance now, but my favorite moment was when I realized I did not have to lie down on the bed, in order to zip up my jeans. The second moment was when I was able to take the same pair of jeans off, without undoing the button or zipper. That same pair has long since been donated.

sammi402 · February 2012

2. people notice i've lost weight
3. I can walk farther/longer without wanting to die

sullyboo · February 2012

Great post!

1.Trying on a dress in UK size 8 and it fit (so I bought it..... And some jeans etc....lol).
2. People that i haven't seen in a while commenting on my weight loss.
3. Feeling amazing and missing exercise when I can't get time in the day to workout (I know it's not really a NSV but it's because of MFP).

andreabball · February 2012

Awesome thread!

3. I've made some great friends in my marathon training group
4. My energy level is through the roof!

6. I've inspired other people on the way to wellness, including my husband, sister, and mom
7. My self-confidence is ridiculous now...I'm pretty sure that I can do ANYTHING and nothing is stopping me!
Congrats to you all on your NSV's...Keep killing it!!!

Shannonnn92 · February 2012

I've lost 8lbs so far, and:
1. Some of my size 2 pants are starting to fit again, and the size 4s are getting baggy!
2. My butt is noticeably smaller, so are my "love handles"
3. I have lost a couple inches... not sure how many
4. My mom has been telling me that I am shrinking

5. My workouts are getting easier, and I have gotten MUCH stronger!

Woot woot for 4 1/2 successful weeks!

Brandongood · February 2012

I ran for the fastest time since boot camp. Been in the Marine Corps for 16 years now so I aint no spring chicken lol. It was amazing to see the 20 year olds and guys in their mid 20s huffing and puffing while I smoked em

ashleynicol3 · February 2012

I've only lost 10 lbs too.

#1 I started and I haven't quit like in the past!

#2 I actually don't mind exercising much anymore and feel really good & proud after I complete a workout.

#3 I had to go out and buy bigger pants bc I was SQUEEZING into my old ones, so I knew it was time to make a change. Now the bigger pants I bought are starting to get loose!

#4 When I ask him if I look any skinnier, my boyfriend used to say - Sorry babe, you look the same to me! Now he says - Yes you do babe, keep it up! LOL

#5 I saw my boyfriend's sister after not seeing her for a while and without her knowing I was dieting or exercising, she said - Have you lost weight? You look really good!

#6 I am more conscious about what I eat and still eat my favorite things but in moderation. I am learning control.

#7 I have more energy and generally just feel better and healthier.

#8 I can run almost 2 miles now without walking - working my way up!

opal24 · February 2012

12lbs gone so far and:

I can do up my bra on the last hook, not the first - and it fits properly!

jencjeffery · February 2012

My skinny denim cut off''s fit

I am sleeping again at night

Had to go out and buy new clothes as the old ones are falling off

No where near as scared to look in the mirror!

nk17 · February 2012

My friends on here are always telling me how well I'm doing. That's one of my biggest motivators.
My pants are falling off and I'll have to buy new ones soon. I've dropped at least two sizes.
My shoes that aren't sneakers are feeling very loose. I think when I go buy shoes I can go down a half size.
Walking up and down stairs doesn't phase me.
I recently spent a week wearing dresses (something I'm not usually inclined to do) and all of them fit.
I've re-discovered a lot of clothes that I outgrew.
Folks in the gym keep saying nice things about my loss.
My sleeping problems seem to have disappeared. My CPAP is unused these days.
I had high cholesterol when I started. Hopefully I'll see the improved results next week when the tests come back.
I kicked my Diet Coke and Unsweet Tea habits and I'm now a water girl. Don't even want/use the Mio any more.
I kicked my carb addiction. No longer will a box of double-stuffed Oreos call me irresistably.
I got a co-worker to start this plan with me and she's doing great too. Seeing her happier is a big thrill as well.
I feel like I can go all the way this time and get down to where I want to be.
I'm not all that far from Onederland. That's very exciting.
My sons are very proud and supportive.
Well, that's all I can think of. Sure beats sitting around getting bigger.

HonestOmnivore · February 2012

I'm back here after floundering for the past year... I didn't gain back ALL the weight I've lost just most of it -but due to only two little weeks of exercising...

- I can walk up the steps to my office with out stopping to gasp for air
- I was able to finish week 5 of C25K program
- I have way more energy
- I think of ways to burn calories more than I think of things I want to eat!

(if it were only as EASY and as FAST to burn them as it is to eat them!)

CannibalisticVegetarian · February 2012

I ovulated for the first time ever yesterday by myself without the help of fertility drugs :blushing: :blushing:

Lucky!

- While in the mall some time ago, I walked into a store that I previously avoided due to all of the cute and trendy wear that .. well wasn't in my size. I noticed the cutest jacket out of the blue and tried it in... perfect fit... too bad I was broke at the time. = 3=;

-I noticed just last night how easy it is to shave my legs---the entire leg.. not just the front and sides. No more patches left behind.

- While walking a few days ago, a worker in the neighborhood informed me that having seen me constantly walking and working out has gotten him on trying to lose weight also.

- My last pair of jeans--- a size 16 no longer fit.

- I am able to jump rope for a full-fledged minute now.. that is unless I mess up.

-I was able to get off one of my blood pressure medications.

-I have officially passed the lowest weight I could remember ever having been (228)

AngelsDream4Peace · February 2012

Excellent Post!

1- I am sitting here bored at this moment and all I can think to do to fill my time is to exercise
2- I went shopping the other day and was happy! Down from 22w in pants to 8 so far!
3- My dog dropped my pants the other day that I haven't worn in over 15 years

vz11 · February 2012

Putting on my "tight" jeans right after working out and they go all the way up with out need to jiggle or lunge! Fits even when im all sweaty! YAY

johncaraher · February 2012

Last time I hit the exercise bike my pace was slightly greater than normal, but my heart rate was noticeably lower (over 10 BPM) than it had been a week or two before for essentially the same workout.

millikenhomeschool · February 2012

Although I've only been using MFP for a few weeks, I have been loosing for over a year and have lost a total of 63 pounds.

What fun reading everyone's posts. I had wondered what a NSV was.

I ran on the treadmill for 2 miles. I used to hardly be able to run between telephone poles.

My face has a whole new complexsion (I can't figure how to spell that one!)

My mood has improved.

I really enjoy exercising. (Never, ever thought I would say that!!)

Tons of compliments even when I have those dry spells of weight loss.

That is the most wonderful and inspirational post I have ever read! Congratulations and best of luck!!!

jeyko · February 2012

While getting ready for work, I noticed the belt ends on my bathrobe were hanging longer than usual......my middle is getting smaller.

dlyeates · February 2012

1. I don't need to wear spandex biker shorts under skirts anymore to stop the rubbing and chafing.

2. I realized how "puffy" I look on my work badge!!! That shows me how much I've lost because I can see it in my face.

3. A co-worker commented on how "skinny" I'm getting.

4. I am able to fit into a Target Fit 4 size 10 pants. I think I was in high school the last time I fit in a size 10!!!

5. I was able to jog for 25 minutes straight in the C25K program and remember when 90 seconds would kill me!!!

6. The belt I bought from Lane Bryant is almost too big for me because too much is on the end side and doesn't stay under the belt loop!!

PansyPansyowsy · February 2012

I just found MFP about a week ago and I have been sedentary and never do exercise ALL my life and was never convinced that workout, no matter how little everyday, can help.

after reading other people's posts, really got inspired and defo started to try to work out and choose healthier and less fattening and non-crap food wisely! altho still not hitting my exercise goal yet, i am now able to work out on an elliptical machine for 1 hour non-stop when i used to pant walking up a flight of stairs!

lost 2 kgs so far and felt great when my colleagues and friends noticed it!

got complimented for effort to go to the gym by sporty boyfriend!

feel less disgusted when i look at myself in the mirror

clothes got a little less tight and looking forward to shopping after losing 7 kgs more! (my goal so far!) :happy:

alikat42 · February 2012

In 6 weeks I've gone from 36% body fat to 32% body fat!
