NSV - Non-Scale Victories
 

I was reading where someone had an NSV thread in another forum (WW something?) and was thinking that it would be a nice thing to have here, as well.

Especially since I just pigged out at the free work lunch, and I could use a little boost from reading about other peoples' victories.

I have one!

I went out for pizza, but beforehand I went to the restaurant's website and checked out the calorie content of the different types. I wanted to take some home with me, so I decided to get a small hawaiian pizza and eat half and take half home. I decided to be a good little dieter and ask the server to box half up before it even got to the table, but she wouldn't! She looked at me like I was crazy. So the whole pizza came but I still only ate half of it! That was a big accomplishment because I looooove pizza!

Well done! I've been really annoying about going out lately b/c I never want to 'wing it' anymore! I want to know exactly where we're going so that I can check it out and already know what I'm going to get.
Great job on boxing half of your meal.

I mentioned this in the chat, but I was able to buy a size 16 outfit for Christmas eve and before I started losing weight I wore a tiiiiight size 20. :jig:

Great job everyone!

I'm able to wear a size medium now! I am so used to looking for a large or an extra large, that it feels so strange to be able to pick up a medium and know that it will fit (in most cases). :cb:

Hehe I've had that happen! I used to be a 20.. went school shopping with a friend and i tried on size 16s and they fit, which shocked me because at the time I wasn't trying to lose weight. I was so thrilled.

I'm not sure if this counts, but recently I got together with a friend I haven't seen in a while, and the first thing she said when she saw me was "oh my god you've lost weight!"

MARVEL AT THE DANCING CARROT!!! :carrot: wow that has nothing to do with anything, but I have a short attention span and I am so easily amused...

I'm marvelling fae ;) :lol:

NSV - a ring I've had for a long time that would only fit on my little finger now fits my ring finger, and the rings that used to fit my ring finger now fit my middle finger :D

Great job everyone! I love reading about these accomplishments.

Here's my favorite NSV:

I had to get my wedding ring re-sized because I'd lost weight and it kept sliding off.

That reminds me, my watch is getting looser as well!

I got my engagement ring resized too! ;)

LOL I love the dancing carrot!
A recent NSV...I hadn't been doing a lot of ab workouts in the past few weeks so this week I have been making an effort to fit in about 15 mins/day....and i can actually feel the difference! WOW I never thought I would be able to feel my ab muscles! (now seeing them is what i have to work on next :) )

I look in the mirror and I can see my body firming up. Slowly, but it is and it is the greatest feeling in the world!!! My jeans are fitting loosely and I love it!

Managed to dance in high heels (very high!) for 3 hours compared to walking for 10 mins in them last time I wore them! :D

I also managed a good can can along the street in them without falling over! :rofl:

PaperClippy--- CONGRATS ON GOAL!!!

I am on my way to a smaller finger and a samlelr engagement ring too!

This morning I pulled some old pants out of the shelves (that did fit, even at a higher weight, but I forgot about them) and put them on for work.

They are totally loose, and I need a belt but didn't grab one so now I keep having to pull my pants up.

They're even loose around my LEGS which is a huge step for me.
