    I've got a weird one. Having to buy a size smaller underwear. That's never happened before. Other than bras, unfortunately the girls won't get smaller. :(

    This thread makes me happy. I hope to get to a consistent stream of these little things - i've been a yo-yoer for too long!

    Obvoiusly we need these NSVs because the darn scale moves SO SLOW!! My friend just told me she can see my face thinning and my butt lifting and that she's jealous that I'm so dedicated to eating right and being active (I told her I hope I'll rub off on her!). I did need to hear that this morning, because my scale didn't budge from this time last week.

    32" Jeans again! When I went up to a 36" pair, my wife said I'd never get back into a 32" pair again at my age (38). Buying that new pair of 32's in front of her and fitting in them with room to spare was a huge NSV for me. Still got a a way to go though.

    Today was the first time I realized I was able to cross my legs comfortably also. How silly is that?

    I long for the day when I can cross my legs like a girl! WTG! :)

    I have a lot, but I'll just share a couple....4 months ago my blood pressure was a scary 160/110, and I could not walk up my stairs without getting dizzy. Now my blood pressure is 110/70, and (just for fun) I RUN up my stairs every night carrying both my kids (40 lbs each)....I'm stronger now than I've ever been in my life. :drinker: Cheers to LIVING instead of just surviving! :drinker:

    I have really fat upper arms-They both had a crease about a fourth of the way up that would show up when my arm was barely bent and yesterday I realized that I can no longer do anything to make the crease show up on my right arm and as for my left arm I have to bend my arm in a weird way and flex to get it to show up. It was funny to me but also a really cool NSV!

    I don't really know if this counts, but it made me feel awesome anyway. Last night I was complaining to my husband that all this counting calories and walking and weight lifting have gotten me no where yet. I'm becoming very discouraged. He leaned over and kissed my forehead and said that he doesn't care what size clothes I wear or what the scale says; he will always think that I'm the prettiest and sexiest woman in the world. :blushing:

    Awwww, heck YEAH that counts!!! My hubby has loved me in many forms--skinny, fat, and now (getting) fit--Hooray for a good man!! He's a keeper!!

    And keep your chin up girl! You're getting healthier, and the weight will come off if you're patient! Eat, lift, cardio, and be merry! :drinker:

    Today I slid on a pair of pants buttoned and zipped them up before realizing they were a size smaller than what I wore last week!

    Having the support of a great husband is such a huge motivator, too! He has always told me that he loves me the way I am and it wouldn't matter to him if I weigh 150 or 550. He knows that I'm not happy with myself the way I am though, and has been super supportive. He tells me every day how proud he is of me for getting healthy and trying to lose weight. I'm definitely not going to give up; gonna keep pushing on. I can feel the skinny me in here somewhere and I can visualize her...I just wish it didn't take so damned long! lol

    Workouts that used to burn 1000 cal per hour now only burn 600 cal per hour.

    Fitness FTW!

    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?

    BOTH of these i use to have to keep adjusting the towel to get it to stay together and up . also i use to have to tug on my pants leg to just cross my legs .

    Sounds stupid but when I first bought Zumba for the Wii the belt for the remote didnt fit around my hips.... after a couple weeks of doing the zumba it now fits!! I'm looking forward to being able to make it smaller and smaller the more weight I lose xx
