Today I had my very first NSV (and I was new to this term till one of my lovely friends explained it to me).
Now, it might sound silly but if you bear in mind I have (had) lungs like a 50 yo smoker (and no, I don't smoke) I managed to cycle up the hill beside my house (which is pretty steep) without having to stop or feeling like I was going to keel over!
I've also not had to use my inhaler for about two weeks now! Yay!
Anyone else having some NSVs out there today?

Whoop!! Well done you :-D Yeah fitting into old clothes is a great feeling (although sadly not one i've had yet this time round!)0 -

Great Job!! My NSV has been keeping to my plan of getting on the elliptical every other day for almost 2 weeks now. I was sidelined by a foot surgery and hadn't been working out. I was getting very upset at my appearence but now during these 2 weeks of working out my outlook is improving and I'm feeling better about myself. It feels good!
Keep up the good work!!!0 -
Congrats! Keep up the good work.:drinker:0

Congrats to all of you!
I had my first NSV today, too. I had bought a dress last December for a holiday party. And when I went home to try it, it stubbornly wouldn't go up my pear-shaped body regardless of how much I fought, willed and prayed for it to (I know I should have tried it on at the store but I was in a super rush!). I meant to return it but before I knew it, I was past the refund policy. Anyway, I thought I'd try it on today because I had made it my goal to win my battle against it eventually...
... and IT FIT!! I honestly felt like I was in that Progresso soup commercial where the ladies were calling in with their own clothing victories.
Oh and NSV = Non-scale victory... I think.0 -

Hehe, I had the same problem - an NSV is a non-scale victory, so, a milestone that you've not planned 0 -

Oh, that is dedication :-D Well done!! Yeah it makes such a psychological difference too, well, for me (and you) just knowing you're doing something to change it all!0 -

Congrats! And thanks for introducing me to a new "term" NSV. Glad you beat the hill! I guess my NSV is picking up my pace on walks. I'm tracking it with Endomondo, and am pretty regularly beating 3 mph now. On to 3.5!0

Congrats on your NSV! I do love these little victories along the way. Yesterday, I was feeling pretty down due to the scale going up after a week instead of down (I had worked so hard!). When I got to work my 2 co-workers that sit next to me said to each other: "She looks so small today, huh?" then looked at me and said yeah, skinny minnie! That made my day because I was on the frustrated side... so it helps us to keep on trucking! Good job, everyone :flowerforyou:0

I had a very cool NSV today! I have never be enable to fit into jeans and trousers from stores like Dotti, Cotton On, Temt and Valleygirl where they only went up to a size 14 so I ALWAYS found it hard to find clothes that were in fashion in my size
but today I tried on the size 14 and they fit perfectly ! I was so excited, first time in my life I could go in and walk out with a pair of jeans and a smile 0
