What was your most recent NSV? (non-scale victory)

[Ashlegal 525]

A size XL at Old Navy was a wee too big. I haven't worn an XL for many years and now I can start to fit into L. Mind-blown!

I have two!

I had to buy new scrubs for work- an XL because my 3X scrubs were falling off!

I bought a dress from an online retailer (clothes come from China) I bought thinking it would be to small for another month or too- just tried it on today for fun and it fits!!

I am really excited at the changes! I will be 2 months on the 29th- I have lost 26 pounds since surgery- 44 pounds from my first weigh in at surgeon's office.

I included a picture from a week before surgery so you can compete-- I was making a worried face because I didn't want my sister to snap a picture. ????

*my toddler took the picture in the red polka dot dress it explains why I have no head. He is the only one home today to help me with a picture!

I am able to run almost 2 miles. That may not seem like much but for someone who loathes running, that is a big deal.

My panniculus is shrinking every week thanks to the running. And I can actually see my ribs!!!

I think the biggest thing for me is no longer obsessing over how long it's taking me to get to my goal weight. I can see it coming but more importantly I am healthier, stronger, and food no longer consumes my mind!

This is an oldie-but-goldie thread. Really worth reading for inspiration.

My recent non-scale victories (NSVs) include mostly clothing victories. I now wear (mostly):

* Size 4s in jeans and slacks. It's just freaky!

* Size smalls in jackets, coats and other random pieces

Occasionally, the size that fits me best is Petite Small or even a size 2. I cannot fathom how that works, since I'm 5'5" and weigh 138 pounds.

Boy, bodies are weird. But I'm a big fat sucker for single digit sizes.

I texted a picture of me skeetshooting to my sister and her family. My niece said I should send a picture of me. I said that is me. They didn't even recognize me. That was the best NSV.

My granddaughter got Baptized yesterday. I NEVER look forward to dressing up. I think stockings should be outlawed. Mine were easy to get into, loose but held tummy in. Tall boots that I purchased but only had on once as it is hard holding breath and leaning over same time. Slid on. Wow I felt like a million bucks. 1x instead of 3x is a huge miracle!

This is me! The difference is I like getting dressed up. I'm very girly and into fashion. It was just such a challenge at my old weight. I started at a 4x and was creeping up on 5's. I now wear a 1x and I pinch myself every time. I haven't been in that size in over 10 years! Things like this remind me that no matter how long it takes, this was the right thing for me.

Congrats everyone.

I hate stockings even more now because I struggle to get them to stay up! It used to be a struggle to squeeze into them and survive the day while feeling like a stuffed sausage casing! Lol i'll take saggy stockings though.

Haven't been in these boards in some time so just want to say I am glad to see everyone having great success. Keep up the good work everyone and Happy Thanksgiving.

At a recent family function three people didn't recognize me. One of my cousins asked me how did I know the family. Two others told me later that they didn't know who I was.

Last time I met everyone was in February.

But what really makes me the happiest is when I hear that I resemble my mom now.
