Hi all,
I am fairly new to MFP and so far I'm celebrating NSV's such as (a) uping my water intake (b) logging in - for 11 days straight now (c) making better food choices ...
What are some of your NSV's that keep you motivated so you don't get hung up on the scale?
thanks!

tons of little things have popped up. i can lift the cat and dog food bags out to the car from the store without trouble anymore. my clothes fit better. have had to wear some smaller clothes. every time i run i can run further. every time i lift i find i can lift more. now when i walk my dogs the hills on the trail are easy. i can breathe better. my skin is better (i have no explaination for this). i have learned how to push myself through exercise and gained more discipline for non-exersice things in life. things in general are just better :drinker:0

Fitting into a standard sized pair of jeans!
Realizing that I was full after a 4oz piece of fish, salad and 2 perogies where I used to eat double that!0 -

That's a really great NSV! I remember feeling so embarrassed knowing a normal towel didn't cover me...
My personal NSV is being able to run! I ran 2 miles, no walking, on the bike path by my house on Sunday. A combination of my fat and asthma hindered me from running for years, but not any more :happy:0 -
Had one in my class today. Embarassing but cute. I taught a Zumba class and from the back, one of my mouthy girls screams out, "Your butt looks hot!!"
Note to self, *always wear these pants*0 -
I have another!! My 6 year old gave me a hug and said mommy I can hug you better now0

Mine these past couple weeks are : ran a mile non stop and ran two miles non stop (Have twisted knee caps from being thrown down a flight of stairs in 2005)0

My greatest NSV (so far! though it's a big one, not sure what could compete) I seem to have derailed my emotional and boredom eating. When I eat something "I shouldn't" I have looked at the choice I'm about to make, and said, "yes, I want to eat this, and no I won't regret it later". And mostly those choices were made out of necessity (carbing up before St Patrick's Day, for example), not "I want a treat/I'm sad/I'm bored".
Treats these days are raspberries and 75% Ecuadorian chocolate, not pizza and fries like it used to be.0 -
I am getting || this much faster when I jog - little victories!!0

I still have major back fat BUT NOW, my shirts no longer gets stuck in the back fat rolls...my NSV for today...lol0

Getting addicted to exercise.
Some one at work said "wow you are loosing so much weight and so quick . How are you doing it? "
I'm to the point of being able to log my food in at the end of the day and still being on my target calories.0 -

OMG I thought I was the only one that did this with the towel. Too funny!! Today was the first time I realized I was able to cross my legs comfortably also. How silly is that?0
