Non-scale Victories

I was reading this post on the MyFitnessPal app (specifically the communities area of the all) and this woman started a thread encouraging the MFP community to post their non-scale victories. My non scale victories came to me today when my husband and I took our two year old to the zoo for the first time. I found that it was much easier for me to walk all day and for long distances then it was before, I also noticed that my clothes fit just slightly looser when I put them on fresh out of the dryer (specifically my shirts). I still don't see any physical changes which can be discouraging but I must push on or I will NEVER see the changes. I had a before photo taken from when I was 290 something pounds but when I got a new phone it was lost somewhere. I am very upset as I read another post somewhere about a woman who couldn't see the changes in the mirror but saw them in photos. I took new photos and wanted to compare them but then could not find the photo. I will have to use these new photos as my befores now. It's alright but still a little disappointing. 
I have made a new goal for myself which is at least 10 pounds down each month until June. June my mom and dad are taking me and my husband and our two year old to Lake Chelan and I want to be able to go swimming with my daughter for the first time. I am ultimately hoping for a greater loss as I did loose 20 pounds in one month before. I am not expecting a huge drop in weight but I really do not want to sit on the sidelines anymore. Ok I'm off to bed!
