Just thought I would share this little bit of excitment!

I have set myself little mini goals along my weight loss journey, things that will keep me motivated... and swimming is on the list. I am now under 14 stone (194) so my next little goal was to go swimming.

Just over two years ago I started taking the kids swimming with my husband; I even bought a new swimming costume ( unfortunately itwas too small for me!!!! but I kept it anyway) ... I went a several times and each time I would start to get little panic attacks! I would get sweats, palpitations, and need the toilet!!! I thought that this reaction completely outweighed the benefit of the exercise and I stopped going.

So, yesterday, my son asked when we were going to go swimming again. I tried the swimming costume on and it was a perfect fit... and ok, there is still plenty of weight to come off, but I have to say, it didn't look as bad as I expected!

To cut a long story short... I put the costume on and kept it on and took the kids swimming. It was amazing to be back in the pool with them and my husband! We had a lovely time and I managed to get some really good exercise out of it too!

These little NSV are sooooo important to me!

Wow, that's sooo exciting to hear! How wonderful for you!

How exciting, these are the "little" things that make everything worthwhile !!

Thanks ladies... I know it isn't the greatest thing in the world, but for me it was a 'moment'!!

Thats wonderful! I love swimming, and its so good for you!

Swimming ia awsome exercise so that is a great NSV congrats!!

That is great!! I have started taking water aerobics and I highly recommend it!! It is a workout but nothing like pounding yourself to death on a treadmill.

What a great NSV!

First of all I have to say GREAT POST! This is such great encouragment to everyone! Then I have to ask and I feel really silly that I cant figure it out but... what the NSV means...Thanks I know it has something to do with victories that I wil get to experience after I get my sleeve. But what does it mean? Thanks.

Coops! Congratulations -- a swimming suit NSV is probably up there with some of the top NSVs (at least in my book) -- really, I think when I am able to go out in public in a swimming suit I will die and go to heaven - so big huge congratulations

Annette -- NSV = Non scale Victory!
