OK, I used to be a regular Weigh****cher. We always talked about NSVs...Non Scale Victories. It's a great way to measure progress without the evil scale

My NSVs...
My snoring is getting better

(big NSV for Chris)
My knees don't hurt as much and I can do stairs much better
I can sit more comfortably in the armed chair of my patio set
I've dropped nearly 2 sizes already (was in 22 and today I'm wearing 18W pants)

The rolls on my back are shrinking.

What about you? What NSVs have you had lately?

WOW!! That's great!! Keep up the good work!! Other than those jeans finally fitting me a couple of weeks ago I did have an NSV the other day!! I was walking to my bus Friday afternoon & I met up with a co-worker & before I realized it I was walking with him at his speed not mine... and I was breathing not gasping for breath!!!

Friday morning I also noticed I was moving right along & actually had to slow down when I ran into a co-worker!!! My next thing is to walk to my bus stop in the morning instead of driving to the park & ride!! This is a big deal because it's all uphill out of my apartment complex & while that's not a big deal for some it is a huge deal for me!! Ever since I had my asthma attack 3 yrs ago anything uphill has been difficult but now I think I can do it!!!! So if the stinkin' rain ever stops here I am going to give it a try!! Cece

The other night I had to go to a meeting for my daughter's cross country team. It was in a classroom at the school and the only seats were the student desks where the table part is attached to the seat. I never fit in those before, but the other night I fit just fine and wasn't even squished! I'm down to a size 20 jeans (a number I haven't seen in 14 years.
