A little NSV (non scale victory)

Options
So I am at Zumba the other night, and when we do stretches at the end we do the quad stretch where you pull your foot up to your butt behind you. I haven't been able to even touch my foot behind me like that since I don't know when. BUT, I reached behind me anyway and there it was! My foot in my hand!! I almost got teary eyed doing my stretch, I was so happy!!
It seems so silly, but it is such a HUGE accomplishment for me! I am 50, trying to lose around 40# , If that can happen after losing just 6lbs and exercising every day, then BRING IT ON! I can't wait to see what happens next!

    That is so awesome!! Good for you! I think it's the little things that count in the battle with weight, and to never let the scale get you down (even though it is very frustrating at times)! High five!!

    That is AWESOME! I'm 55 and have lost nearly 50 lbs and I still can't do that yet. I can get to my heel but that's it. Keep up the good work.
