Non Scale Victories?

Hello Bandster Bunnies!!!

My roommate just got banded and she and I constantly talk about Non scale Victories (NSV), and I thought I'd start a thread for us to share what we're looking forward to beyond seeing the numbers drop on the scale.

I have a bunch, but the ones that pop into my mind most often are:

*Buying jeans that don't have stretch in them

*Not having to pull my pants UP and pull my shirt DOWN when I stand up

*Fitting nice and easy into airplane chairs, Starbucks chairs, bistro chairs, etc.

*Playing sports again

*Going swimming and enjoying it

*NOT shopping at Lane Bryant anymore

And just now I came face to face with one...

**Actually weighing what I state on my driver's license!!!!

I bumped it up to 200 a while ago, and to even be down to 200 will be a HUGE milestone. WOOHOO, I can't wait!

What are some NSVs you all are looking forward to?

I am not part of the April group, but my biggest NSV was at the gym not long ago.

A guy came up to me and asked me how I got my legs so toned. I was so shocked. I just pointed to the machines that I use all the time. They have really helped my thighs

which are not flabby at all. I wish I could say the same thing about my arms.

I can't wait to go into a Victoria Secret's and buy something other than perfume!!:thumbup:

- Wearing high heels and not having balance issues.

- Wearing nice underwear and not having to wear bra-extenders!

- Running and enjoying it.

- Wearing a swim suit!

- Not sweating as much!

- Wearing a singlet in public although I am not sure I will ever be able to do this without feeling naked.
