This happened to me the other day. It's like free shopping!

Great NSV's! Mine is that I biked 7.5 miles today! Woo hoo! Also, I went to the dentist, and the receptionist hadn't seen me in 6 months. She didn't recognize me, and came over to tell me how great I looked and that I was 1/3 of my former self. She asked me how I did it, etc, etc. She is someone who has always been complimentary toward me, even at my highest weight, so I appreciated her compliments because I know they come from the heart.

I love reading these.

I had an NSV yesterday: I went hiking on the hottest, most humid day we've had all summer and made it to the top of the waterfall ahead of my canine companions. I felt really fit.

Also, I finally mastered odd count peyote stitch, but that has nothing to do with weight loss.

I fit into my mystery pants today! There is no size tag in them, but I think they are 14s. Came at just the right time too because all my dress pants are huge.

My favourite NSV is this:

Start: Waist-38inches
Thigh-29inches

Now: Waist-28.5inches
Thigh-22inches

My Waist is now smaller than my thigh was at the start!!!

These are AWESOME. Mine is silly, but feels awesome to me nonetheless. I was on the treadmill and noticed my shoe was untied. I paused the treadmill and bent down and tied it. No struggling. No needing to find a bench. Just tied it.

Pulled out a pair of jeans I bought years ago that I've never been able to wear. I've got a bit of a muffin top, but probably won't have it much longer. :) And my newest "skinny" jeans get loose around the waist after I wear them a few hours.

My bridal set is getting loose, as well as the ring I got for Christmas last year.

Feeling more agile in general. We've got a new puppy so we've blocked off the kitchen area by setting the pet carrier up against the couch. I step over the corner of the couch easily (it has no back on the one side) but it was a struggle when we did the same thing for our other puppy last year.

I'm handling the Vegas heat so well! It used to about kill me when it rose above 100° but I've been dealing with 110°+ just fine this summer!

I put my contacts in every day! Which doesn't seem to be an NSV but it's a sign that I'm feeling good and want to take better care of myself. :)

Now that I know what NSV stands for I love this post. I hate thinking in terms of numbers on the scale although to get through the weight loss I understand the number is important and it does keep you accountable.

My NSV for this week is I went from a 2X (18-20) dress to a 1X(16-18) dress size.

This is such a fun thread! I love the idea of "free shopping" in your own closet. Last time I cleaned out my closet, I only kept the things I really liked, in several different sizes, so after a while I will get to "shop" too.

Anyway, my NSV is that after almost a full month of eating better quality food, I feel much better! I have only lost 16 lbs, but I can more easily bend over to cut my toenails and put my lace-up shoes on. The waistband of my pants is just a tad looser. Putting on the shoes is important because they are my walking shoes!

I'm going to see someone I haven't seen for years, and realized I'm around the same weight I was last time I saw her, when I was getting ready for my wedding.

I dropped some shorts off at the tailor today, and realized I'm about the same weight as I was last time I saw him--when I was getting ready for my sister's wedding!

Maybe not a big deal to some but today I got up and moving around even though I really really didn't want to. Not only did I do it, but I walked 1 1/2 miles on the treadmill, I got on the wii fit for a while and after dinner I walked a mile around the park. I also drank more water than I did yesterday. It's been a good day :-)

MyLilSweetPeas: It is a big deal - you know it is! Good for you.

Great thread! Last month I started training for an 8k in October and tonight I ran the longest and farthest yet.

I turned down free ice cream! I went to a water park this weekend and ran into another non-Japanese person who was even more excited than I was to find someone who spoke English (he doesn't speak Japanese, lol)...so we were talking and he tried to buy me an ice cream crepe (which looked AMAZING) and I stuck to my guns and didn't eat it :D Stupid victory is stupid. It then occurred to him that "Oh, you're a little bigger than Japanese women, aren't you? Are you concerned about your weight?" When I repeated that I'd just had lunch and wasn't hungry, he smiled knowingly and informed me that I was very pretty. *Insert turning every color of the rainbow and namedropping my boyfriend way more than was probably necessary*

I put on a dress this morning that I wore a few weeks ago. Its loose in the shoulders and stomach. Thats a victory!
