Nsv's Anyone?

Hi all! Ive seen people posting about non-scale victories, and just wanted to have a post where people can shout out about their NSV's!

My Top 5 NSV's so far are............drumroll please

5. Being able to bend over to tie my shoe to walk. (Me and walking USED to be an oxymoron!)

4. Being motivated to walk at the mall.

3. Having more energy in general.

2. Not having my wedding ring cut off my circulation, it actually spins around on my finger now!

and my number 1 NSV so far to date......

1. Sitting down to go potty and realizing I just pulled my scrub pants down AND THEY WERE TIED!!!!!!!! teeth_smile.gif

    I used to have to sit down and pull my leg up to tie my shoes. I was on my walk the other day and shoelace came untied. Without even thinking I bent down and tied it! That was awesome!!!

    I'm a Diabetic and I used to (don't have to anymore) give myself daily injections. One of the favorite places was on my waistline, above my hip (love handles)

    I needed to pinch the skin with one hand, and inject with the other. I could do it on one side with no problem, but I could not reach across my body to the other side!!

    As the weight came off, I noticed hoe easier and easier it was to do this.

    Now, I cannot only reach around side to side, I can reach over my shoulders and scratch between mu shoulder blades in the middle of my back!
