NSV (Non Scale Victories)

OK so i was going threw all the treads on here and realized that whenever someone has a NSV they have to put it somewhere randomly.. So i thought it would be a good idea to have a thread celebrating all of our NSV's. (i know im a dork!! :))

Ok ill start off, a couple of days ago, i came across this pair of jeans my cousin bought me last year, no last year at that time i couldn't even button them at all (even when i tried to play the whole lets suck my stomach in and lay down on the bed game) So i was curious and just had to try them on.. and guess what I put them on no problem i even had my stomach relaxed. :) what a wonderful feeling. and today my mom bought me a top and i treid it on and it was to big... IT'S LITTLE THING LIKE THAT, WHICH MAKE YOU FEEL GREAT ABOUT YOURSELF!!!:clap2:

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>

whosya, you are I should be band twins. We pretty much started out the same and are sitting in the same range. I'm now getting into XL shirts for the first time since hs and in loose 40" shorts.

Great NSV's.

Thanks Cera!!!! I agree we are pretty close. i been in the same 275-265 for the last 3 months but i have stepped up my game a little and my waist keeps shrinking even though not much weight loss. I need to work out like that P90X stuff but on my own program. I not going to do DVD's.

I get into some XL's not all.

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.
