Well, I've lost fast enough to ensure that I'm not allowed entry into the slow loser club lol, but that doesn't mean I'm completely satisfied with the speed of my weight loss. Are any of us? lol ..its definitely slowed in the past few months anyway.

In any event, I love the idea of keeping a NSV post, just to remind myself of what I've accomplished to date, so here goes. Hope this isn't stepping on any toes :/

1. I've went from a tight size 22 to a tight size 16.
   
2. I put clothes on lay by, in sizes too small to fit me and when I pick them up 3 months later, they fit or are too big! heh (I used to buy stuff I liked that was too small, promising myself I'd get into it soon and it never happened)
   
3. When flying, I had a good 6 - 8 inches left on the end of the seatbelt, in economy.
   
4. I can keep up with my 7 year old - even out walk her on some days.
   
5. I'm fitter than I've ever been.
   
6. I can walk up a flight of stairs without feeling like I'm going to pass out.
   
7. My sleep apnea is completely gone!!!
   
8. My cholesterol is perfect.
   
9. My blood pressure is perfect, perhaps even a little low.
   
10. I weeded my garden for 4 hours straight, with no knee or back pain (or laziness kicking in).
    
11. I can walk into a regular clothing shop and fit into the largest size they have (16, although its still tight)!!!
    
12. I can walk with my head held high, down the street and I don't hear voices in my head, making me think people are talking about me.
    
13. For the first time in my life, I weigh less than my husband. I've always been at least 5kgs heavier than him. Now I'm 27kgs lighter than him!!
    
14. My wedding dress is too big for me.
    
15. My wedding ring is too big for me.
    
16. My daughter constantly tells me how great I'm looking now and how proud of me she is.
    
17. My mom brags to her friends and family about my weight loss (something she would have never done in the past).
    
18. My self confidence is at an all time high.
    
19. And last but not least .. I now have more good days, than bad days
    
20. The past three days, its been warm so I've worn my comfy long flowing summer skirts. My thighs didn't rub together and chafe!!! They didn't even tough a lil bit. This is a first, for my entire life!!! Gonna go stock up on more of these lil beauties lol.
    

Wow, I think that is just awesome. Well done. Vinesqueen has started a trend!!!! Welcome to the Medium Paced Loser Club...LOL that's too funny! Good job!!!

U GO GIRL!!! U are ROckin that band Bigtime!!! I am so wanting to do a size 16!!! I am jealous but in a good way!! Way to go!

Bravo Parvathi! Excellent work! I'd be thrilled if everyone has their own NSV thread!

Parvathi -

Love your post. An since you post your weight loss in kg, we yanks can't really tell what you've lost

Vines is an inspiration, isn't she??

your doing great Parvathi

you are an inspiration to ohers

Congrats on all of those wonderful accomplishments!!! It's great to hear someone feeling so positive and enthusiastic about life!!! You are a huge inspiration and are a delight to hear from when you post. Thanks for sharing! Hope to catch up to you one day!!!!

Cindy

You know SV's are great, but NSV's are truly the best!!! Good for you....

Well she could convert it to pounds - sounds even better that way! You say I'm x kilos overweight but I've lost y pounds, lol.

Well done Parvathi

Thanks everyone!! Vinesqueen truly is an inspiration to me and many others.

Making this list really made my day yesterday - I was in a great mood the whole day through. I'm sure that if I come back here and read it when I'm feeling down, it will help as well. I'd say to anyone who's feeling like they've not accomplished what they had hoped in regards to the band, to do this. You'd be surprised at how far you've come

Jachut, lol, you're so right about the conversion thing. Anytime my family asks me how I'm going, I tell them I've lost x pounds and have y kilos to go hehe. "I need to lose 20 more kilos" sounds heaps better than "I need to lose 44 more pounds" lol.

Wow! What a great list of NSVs! Keep em coming! Oh & I saw your after picture! Girl you are a knock out!! My husbands tongue was hanging out too! LOL!

Hey Parvathi,

What an inspiring post!!!

Thanks,

A new one

Today, for the first time in 8 years (since before my daughter was born), I'm wearing shorts. And they look good lol. Still need to work on my thighs hehe, but that's okay - I've got a lifetime

These are great....What a way to start out your morning!!!

Congratulations on those wonderful NSVs!!
