Thread: NSVs - Non Scale Victories

Brilliant achievements everyone
IanH -I love your NSV -especially as I can Imagine the "little oik"(Im being polite)
wandering off thinking "hmmm well that wasn't what I expected" as you walked down the street smiling and laughing to yourself

My major NSV happened a couple of days ago-I will give you the short version..
My most recent pair of 3/4 jeans were a size 56-uk 26ish -they fall down now -so me n hubby are planning on going clothes shopping on Wednesday (his anniversary pressie to me ) -so i thought I would try on a pair of jeans I used to shoe-horn myself into 2 years ago, so I could guesstimate the size I needed... and they only blinkin fit -they are a size 44-uk 18ish .... so I tried on a long size 18 skirt -and that fits too ...AND they are both fixed waists -no elastic in sight .... I don't imagine I will fit into all 18s -but Im heading in the right direction
Finally (this isn't a short version is it )
Anyway I have big calves and have 2 pairs of high legged boots (that have never zipped all the way up) and yesterday 1 pair did ....
I can't believe how quickly things have changed in 14 weeks.
Keep up the great work everyone..we are getting there

I did tell this one in chat last night but after reading these thought I would add it here.

Yesterday my 5 year old was drawing a picture she held up the picture and said "this is you Mummy when you was fat" lol
prob sounds awful but it means that she doesnt see me as fat anymore. Out of the mouths of babes

Loving this thread!

I'm comfortably in a clothes size 12 now. Over the moon doesn't cover it!

can this be made a sticky? i LOVE this thread! xxx

I love all these NSVs! They're fab! And so motivational

My latest NSV is that I can finally feel my collar bones! It won't be long before they're visible, yay! How sad, lol! xx

Wow it's so inspirational reading all your NSV's
The only one I've had recently is being able to buy some size 16 tops in Evans which fit really well. They are generous sizes (I can't fit into my old size 16s yet) but still a NSV all the same

Well done everyone!!

I haven't really had one yet but can't wait 'til I do.
My boyfriend said my ears look 8lbs thinner...ha, his way of being funny. I'm not sure if it'll be that noticable to people I see everyday so I'm not really expecting one 'til I go back to uni in October. I want to wow everyone then!

getting into size 16 jeans again

I do seasonal work at a kid's summer camp. Today, I thought I'd best try on my trusty combats that I wore last year - expected them to be a bit baggy at most.

I can pull them off without unbuttoning or unzipping them, there's a mahusive gap between my waist and the waistband.

This is good, but means that I now have to find and buy some more before tomorrow!!

We're all doing so well guys and dolls xx

My NSV today was being able to see what I was doing when shaving my undercarriage I've been working blind for a while and it's SO much easier now I can see what I'm doing

Love this thread...well done to everyone.

Not really had NSV myself yet, unless you count my partner saying my bum is disappearing and he hasn't anything to grab hold of, ,lol. x

Dear MODs - IreneH and Starlight,

Could we pretty, pretty please make this thread a sticky? NSVs (Non-Scale Victories) are such a huge part of everyone's weight loss journey, that it would be nice to be able to acknowledge them in a 'sticky' thread xxx

bump^^^^

please make this a sticky!!!! xxx

Hello!

I had two NSVs this week:

Firstly, I love lingerie and have loads of lovely stuff that I can't get into any more - in a whole range of sizes!! When I started SW, I was a 40H and all I could get into were plain cotton bras from Bravissimo which are pretty dull and also don't give me a great shape. So I decided to hang a set in the next size down on the back of my bedroom door as motivation. I'm now back in the bra (but not the pants yet, obviously losing from up top first!) and my boobs look much perkier!!

Secondly, I put a pair of jeans on this week which I haven't worn for about 6 weeks and they were very loose! I also had to pull my belt in so it's on the last notch!

I love NSVs!!!
