NSV (Non Scale Victories)



Recommended Posts

Congrats on all these wonderful NSVs!!!! Mine is pretty typical, but I was thrilled nonetheless...

I had purchased a skirt online over 2 years ago. Sadly, when I got it, it was waaaayyyy too tight, couldn't even barely get it over my hips. Well, this weekend I was cleaning out my closet, throwing away clothes that were now outdated or too big :lol:. Anyway, found the skirt, tried it on for kicks - I just knew it would still be too tight because I have been steadily gaining since I bought it - but it fit!! And it was a comfortable fit too!!! Love my band!!!

Im so excited! I was looking through my closet a few minutes ago and came across and outfit WAAAAAAAAAAAY in the back. I was really surprised that I still had it. Let's just say the first and last time I wore it was about 5 years ago. It's a dressy outfit that I bought for my Grandmother's 90th B-Day Party.... Guess what, IT FITS!!!! I was shocked. Everyone says that they can see that I have lost weight, but I don't see it. This evening I saw it!!!

All of you my "Bandster" family are the first to know!! Now to make some phone calls.

Thanks for listening, or I should say reading!!!

Whos, those are great, congrats!!

I’ve got a great NSV to share…<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

This morning I was in such a crabby mood. However a few weeks ago I placed an <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:place w:st="on">AVON</st1:place> order for the cutest shoes Id seen in a long time. Well, when I came into work, my friend had them there waiting for me.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

I ordered all size 9M. Now during this time I was kinda sweating it because I used to only be able to wear size 10WW. Yeah, fat feet there… anyway – I knew I was able to wear some 9M’s lately, because I’m a shoe fanatic and I love to go shoe shopping.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

I was so worried my shoes would not fit! I guess that is the fat girl in me telling me I'm still too big for this or that. Well guess what, every single pair DID FIT!! Especially the cute red heels that I just cant wait now to buy a whole new outfit for so I’ll be able to wear them!<o:p></o:p>

Bumping up this thread because I love it! Here's my most recent NSV! A year and half ago I could barely walk a mile on 3mph. Now I run comfortably at 6mph and last week I ran my fastest mile!

Yesterday I pick up a 44 pound bag of dog food tomove it across the house. First of all, I am ABLE to pick it up easily and while I am marveling at that I realize that I have lost more weight than two of these bags combined! 44 pound bags of dog food are not light. I cant imagine strapping two of those to my body and trying to make it though the day. No wonder I was so tired all the time.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
