Wow..... I may sound like a dork, but I have knuckles!

This may sound corny but I actually discovered I have knuckles yesterday! Before they were just little 'bumps' that you could bearly see when I made a fist, but now I can actually see the bones! Can this be classified as a small accoplishment? I think it does LOL:)

Absolutely! Celebrate your NSV's wherever you find them. Hooray for your knuckles!

Funny the things we never think about until it's right there in front of us.. Good for you!

Congrats! I TOTALLY understand this NSV and you're not a dork for being excited about this. I am watching for mine... any ... day.... now...! Seriously, I've never ever had knuckles and I'm 41 years old! I'm quite small boned and I have "baby hands" When I make a fist they look like balloons!

Congrats on your NSVS! Those feel just as good as seeing the scale move down. So happy for you!

I noticed my watch was a little looser. woohoo it was slipping around a bit! hey gotta take NSVs where you can get them.

Thanks! Not many around me really understand what a big deal it really is, oh they are encouraging and supportive, but when I say something like this they just don't comprehend that it is a big deal for me!

Oh, it IS a big deal!! Congrats. I believe the order of appearance for me was knuckles, wrist, collar bone (this was a biggie for me!) ribs, and lastly hip bones. My knees are a little knobby- I'm not sure when that happened. Lol! Enjoy the changes. What a great nsv, congrats!!

My most recent pre surgery NSV was having my husband remove a link from my watch so it doesn't just slosh around my wrist and realizing that it won't take too much more loss for another link to come off! I was almost giddy about it, and it made my husband laugh (in a nice way).

Oh for the day I see my ribs!

Hell I just want to be able to see my feet while standing! I gotta pick my gut up off the floor and tuck it in my pants like a shirt so I don't trip on it when I walk! Lol so can't wait to have this surgery! Congrats to you and stay fabulous ;-)

Congrats! Seeing my knuckles for the first time in 15 years was a big deal for me as well.

Other NSVs - seeing my collarbones and being able to wrap my fingers around my wrist for the first time! :)

Woo hoo!! Go knuckles!! Lol! That's awesome!
