i feel stupid...what does NSV stand for?

My NSV is that I have a pair of pajama pants that were skin tight on me just two months ago and now they fit loosely again.. yay :)

Also.. I took a progression pic a couple of days ago and compared it to a month ago.. and I can tell that my back fat is slowly disappearing.. I still have it but it's less now.

Non-scale victory. Don't feel stupid!!!

To all these great NSV's - :cheer3::woohoo::cheer2:

Lost an inch and a half off my waist! And in spite of a lousy day (emotionally) yesterday, I did NOT use food to comfort and numb me...for me, that is a HUGE NSV!!!

I love reading all of these!!

I've been at this for about a year and a half now and I've tons of NSVs - but most recently, DH and I went on a amazing vacation overseas and halfway through he commented, "I can't believe that you want to be in all the photos, you always used to run and hide at the first sight of a camera!" - he was right! We made about a dozen new friends on this trip and I can safely say it never would've happened without all the confidence I've gained as I have dropped the weight.

And I have some fabulous photos of myself for the first time in YEARS! :carrot:

I've been buying new shorts this past week, and have pretty consistently been fitting into a size 4... It's a little tight, but I'm happy. That's the size I've been aiming for all along. I still want to fit more comfortably though...I feel kind of on the edge.

shoeluver67 I was just about the post the same thing when I saw your comment.

My NSV: I can feel my hipbones lol.

Out of morbid curiosity, I wandered into a clothing store today. The heat has been absolutely unbearable of late, and it's only going to get worse next month...so I figured that looking into shorts wouldn't be a bad idea. I made a beeline for the plus section, as that was the only place I found pants that fit last time I was looking, but they had no shorts. Without much hope, I picked up a pair of the largest size I could find in the normal section (a 70 cm waist...which translates to about 27.6'') and wandered into the dressing room. To my great surprise, they fit! They had almost no give to them either...I'm not saying that they fit WELL (no muffin top, but the thighs were squishily tight), but considering that my last pair was a 76 cm waist, I did a little happy dance. Had they not made an announcement that it was closing time while I was still in the fitting room, I would have bought them just because I could squeeze into them :D

CanadianMomma: Hurray for hipbones! You can hardly see mine if I'm standing, but now they pop out when I'm lying in bed at night. I'd actually be really happy with my hip and butt area right now if not for the belly pooch in the middle getting in the way >.<

Astrild: Congrats! At this point I think that my dream size is a 6, but as I really don't have access to American clothes atm in anything smaller than the 12s I brought with me, I have no idea how much farther off that is...

Lunula: I informed my boyfriend over Skype today that when he comes and visits, we're taking a billion pictures together. He kinda stared at me a minute before asking "YOU want pictures?" I generally used to dive under tables if I saw a camera pointed in my direction, and as a result I only have one crappy webcam picture of us together...not fun when we live 10,000 miles apart.

Judipurple: Huzzah for loss AND self-control!

Apeygirl: Backfat is the worst! KICK ITS BUTT!

Everyone is doing AWESOME! Keep it up :D

I got back on the exercise bike after a fortnight's hiatus yesterday. Had to hold my sweating trousers up with my hands until I was sitting on the bike. My belly roll's shrunk too much to hold them up! (No net weight loss or gain in that two weeks, so things must just be rearranging in there.)

Hey y'all! It's so exciting to hear about all your NSVs!

Not sure if I told anyone about this yet, but I was so thrilled to look in the mirror a few days ago and saw (I"m sure I wasn't imagining it), the beginnings of a four pack!!

Yaaaaay!! :woohoo:

The most I could ever get for a long time was just a couple little lines down the sides. May seem trivial to some, but this just made me soooo happy, some folks (DH included) just... don't... get... it... !! So it's good that I can share with you good people.

Keep up the good work everyone!

Hi all - congrats to everyone for your amazing NSV's - these are my favorite - I don't weigh myself so I LOVE the NSV's!

I have a few - this is the first vacation where I worked out 6 out of 7 days and was active every day.

This is also the first vacation where I posted a BIKINI pic on facebook - woohoo

AAAND I am officially 3.5 months smoke-free!
BOOM!

Have a great day everyone!

Great NSVs everyone!!!!

This weekend for the first time ever I was able to do an intense day of hiking and the very next day went out hiking and rock climbing. Never before have I been able to do consecutive days of intense exercise :)

Bought a pair of trousers size UK8 in a second hand shop today and they fit! They're a little tight but they still fit. I had bought them to use as encouragement as I like to try things on every week to see how I'm doing.. I was pretty confused but happy too :) I know it's vanity sizing but hey, it was still a surprise.

5 minutes ago I bought myself some onion rings cos I missed them so much. Ate 3 and threw everything else out cos I just couldn't do that to myself. That was INSANE to me lol

I found out yesterday that I've gained back two pairs of jeans from my closet. :-D
