I weigh less than my husband... and other WL victories!
I confess he has gained a bit in the last year, but I've lost a lot! I'm now officially one pound below him!
I can wear my engagement ring again.
I am down from a size 24 to a size 18 pants... ultimate goal is to fit comfortably in size 12.
I can walk down the hall at my office with another person (I don't have to be in front or behind them).
I can see the little bump bones in my wrists.
I can wear long johns under my size 18 pants (and boy do I need them today!)
I had to drop my Fitbit band down to the next size.
My old favorite winter coat fits.
The bullet proof vest issued to me at work is too big now. I had grown out of it, but now I've shrunk out of it... thankfully, I retire April 1, so I will just muddle through until then, but never wear another after that... most uncomfortable things created, honestly.
Old uniform shirts fit well again...even a little loosely.
Anyone else have victories?

Congratulations! We share many of the same NSV's. My goal size is a 12 too.
Some of my recent NSV's:
I was able to fit and buy a few size 14's, not totally there but the notion is exciting!
My towels wrap all the way around me... Even my hips!
I can wear heels all day, without being in pain.
(TMI warning)... I was able to trim my lady bits and actually see what I was doing!
