I love NSVs because the scale is not a great measurement of body transformation, its just convenient. Also because while saying "I dropped 5lbs!" is an awesome thing worth celebrating...I find it much more satisfying to hear about something that happened in someones life.

For instance: I have wanted a hello kitty tattoo on my hip for..um..ever. I always thought "I'll get it when I lose weight." "I'll get it when my stomach is flat" "I'll get it when I can wear a bikini"

Heres the thing. I've had a baby. A BIG baby. My stomach is stretchmarked and misshapen from loose skin like nobody's business. Its been 7 years. It isn't going to magically become taught and sexy no matter how much I lose. And ya know what? I love Hello Kitty.

Attachment may be considered NSFW due to the location of the tattoo. If lady-hip offends anyone, please let me know so I can take it down asap.

Loving that tattoo! Looks great!

Is there a competition for most ridiculous NSV? If so, I'd like to throw my hat in the ring. At my highest weight I sat down on the toilet a couple of times with the seat up and I didn't even realize until afterwards. Today, I almost fell in the toilet and had to grab for the walls to save myself! :lol:

LOL Burg, actually that is a super idea for an entire thread!! Yours would certainly be a good starter. That even tops my smaller size swim suit bottom rolling down my butt when I tried to get out of the pool!!!

Why don't you start a thread? It would be hilarious and popular!!

tinneranne2, love the tattoo. I don't really like the all-over tattoo look, probably because I am an old lady, but yours is classy.

Burg, you win a prize for that one. I am LOL!!!

misti haha well that's awesome the smaller size is now too small!

Mine is I did 30 miles of hiking this week :)

That tattoo is super fun!

I got my first "notice" a few days ago. It's a highly-suspect notice. We were comparing schedules to try and find a time to meet later that day, and I mentioned going to the gym. He said, "Oh, have you been going to the gym lately?" Only after I said "yes," did he say, "I can tell. You look really good."

Yeah, right. But you know what? So don't care. It counts as a notice.

Ummmmm well actually it would be awesome if the smaller size *wasn't* too small LOL. But at least I can get into them; I'll just have to get some more fat off of my butt fast, ha. And I have these in four sizes and I am now in the next to smallest size.

misti lol whoops didn't check what I wrote I didn't mean that it was good that it was too small, but that you could get into them :p

Scratch what I said this morning about Japanese people not noticing because I'm still too much of a whale...one of my co-workers that I've maybe talked to once or twice before needed to do some work on my computer today and informed me that my face was looking very thin and pretty. Awww...warm fuzzies.

And on the toilet thing, it's another victory that you managed to catch yourself...I've gotten a horribly unwelcome surprise more than once >.<

Today's school is next to a really cheap clothing store...so I went in. Whose fat butt is currently sitting in 69 cm waist jeans and a size M top? THIS GUY'S :D

Congrats, Hotaruchan!!

I had an NSV at work yesterday. At lunch I was trying to decide whether to just have cottage cheese and fruit or to also have a 3-oz tuna packet. I was deciding to have the tuna because... I thought... "I need something substantial." Then it dawned on me that I was automatically thinking of 3 ounces of tuna as "something substantial." LOLOL

I wish this site had a like button - especially for this thread! What great NSVs. Thin and pretty! . Getting satisfaction from three ounces of tuna. So grateful for reminders that good things happen along the journey, rather than just at the end. Thanks for the reminder.

Yes, a Like button would definitely be a good thing, ha

My NSV today? My personal trainer was trying to train me today, and I kept saying obnoxious things to him... With the sole intent of him "punishing" me, by making me do more. AND laughing while doing it. Oh, and being told I am "eye candy" by more than one person at the gym today doesn't hurt either!

Loving the NSV's!!!!!!!!

Here's mine: My legs look tiny!!
