Here it is! The April 2011 NSV! A place to brag on yourself and share achievements that have nothing to do with the scale.

Anything from ~ "I just walked a mile without sucking wind" to "I climbed Mt. Everest with 1 arm tied behind my back" or even "I no longer have to take medicine for diabetes" So Go on and share your victories!

NSV....wedding rings fit again and are almost too loose now!

NSV #2 ...went mountain biking with my husband today and caught him on a flat section! Woo hoo! It's good to be fast!

NSV~ Clothes falling off - had to make an emergency trip to Target for new jeans /shirts almost passed out when I had to get a medium shirt and size 14 jeans! Down from 20! The scale is not moving but I am loosing lots of inches which must be from working out so much!

Woo Hoo!!

Finally went out and bought some shorts and tank tops that actually fit (been in the high 90's here). 31 pounds doesn't seem like much but on my 5'9" body it really makes a difference.

All the walking is paying off in inches which is good as I could eat the siding off the house.I need another fill and it's not till the 11th of July, I think I may have to call and get it moved up. I almost wish I would have one good stuck episode to scare me into not wanting to eat. LOL

NSV ~ Just ran an 8K! Race day is 7/3! woo hoo!

Congrats on the new clothes...I still haven't gotten any! I really need to step up the exercise, too.

And I'm right there with ya about needing a scare...I can eat anything...bead, Pasta, rice, pizza...and going on vacation in a couple of weeks...hoping I don't gain back the 20 lbs I've lost!

WOOHOO! Good for you, and congrats on losing 70 lbs! WOW! Very impressed

NSV today, I went to penny's in search of a few items today. When I asked where to find what I needed the sales lady took me to the regular woman's department. Good bye plus size clothes! It took a few minutes for it to sink in, I do not look plus size any more!(I had not even told her what size I was looking for) In my mind and under my clothes I still do, but that is another issue all together. 20 more pounds to go and I will be in onederland

That's awesome, Brenda!

I have some NSV's too lately. I went shopping last Thursday and found I had dropped another size. Now I'm a 22/24 in tops and a solid 24 in pants - from a 30/32! I'm still just amazed

My younger sister brought over 8 bags of clothes she doesn't wear anymore either because she lost weight (she's an 18/20 now) or stuff she just didn't like anymore. I kept 6 out of 8 bags, and can fit into most of it except a few things that I still need to drop about 10 or 15 lbs for. The look on her face when she saw me zip up a pair of jeans was simply priceless.

And my husband now calls me "skinny" which isn't true, I'm not skinny, but I freaking love it

I'll be going to a massive family reunion on September 10th back east, these people haven't seen me for 2 years, plus my Dad and other sister haven't seen me since the surgery, so I'm looking forward to getting some compliments, My weight loss is definitely noticeable these days!

It sure makes you feel good to get into those smaller clothes and I think it is good motivation to keep plugging along. You are doing great and I bet your family reunion will be wonderful. You will not only look better but your energy level will blow them away!

Here is one to make you laugh, I have for years just pulled my pants on and off without unzipping or unbuttoning them. I was given some pants that I thought would not fit and sure enough I could only pull them up to my butt. Then it hit me, unbutton and unzip them and see if you can get them on! Duh Brenda they fit!!!!

Haven't been on here in forever! I have been busy! My husband came back from Army chaplain training, I went to Virginia Beach to visit his family a few times, and right now we are under contract for our first house. I also am having eye surgery monday for eye issue and won't be able to work out for 2 weeks. I think the NSV's for me are #1- looking down and seeing that I am crossing my legs automaticly. I used to attempt to cross and had to reallly think aboiut it and try reallllllly hard. So crossing without thinking is different.#2 I can button almost all of my old size 12/14 jeans. Out of those, I can say that I would actually wear 1 pair out of the house. Just because they button, doesn't mean that they fit, but I am getting there! #3 Slacked off at the gym when hubby got home in July but still eating right. I was freezing last night from the AC and I put on my favorite sweatshirt which hasn't been worn since the winter and I was so surprise how it just hung on me like a tent! After reading everyone's NSV's and weight loss success stories, I am actually getting off here to go to the gym! It's awesome to hear how everyone is doing!.

NSV got into a tight size 14! OMG I have not worn a 14 in over 25 years! Also bought new brooks, my old ones were a men 9.5 EEE, my new ones are a women s 9.5 ! Who knew are feet would loose so much! Have also gone from a size 11.5 ring to an 83/4. Weight loss has slowed down, but it is still coming off, only .8 of a pound and I will be in wonderland with 40 left to my goal. how is everyone else doing? Would love to hear about your nsv
