Janine, NSV is a Non-Scale Victory... Small or big steps in our journeys that can't be measured on a scale! Margaret

Way to go Metal and Lizrbit!! WOO HOO! I also love to read people's NSV's. Well, alright, I'll share one. I've been on the thread "Couch to 5K", and decided to give it a try. Yup, I'm running (sort of). I can't say I thought I'd like to run (I used to sprint in High School MANY years ago). But After finishing Week 1, I really do enjoy it. Look it up. You start off really slowly, alternating walking and slow jogging. For instance week 1 has you jog for 60 seconds, then walk for 90 seconds, alternating for 20 minutes. I figure I'll burn some calories, it won't cost me, and maybe I'll really like running, who knows? But that is my NSV for this week, that and my Size 12 jeans are getting loose! (The scale is not moving yet, but I don't really like this scale anyway.) What's important is how I feel and how the clothes are fitting, right? Let's hear from some more May Banders on NSV!!! Cindy

Deb24 - Yes, I feel stalled too. Just hoping the fill on Thursday will get me back on track to loosing wght again. I am tired of hovering between 180-185. It will tickle me to death when I get in the 170's and stay there for a while! Sue - Way to go. I am so happy for you. You had so many NSV's while on your vacation. You are a inspiration! Jenney - Hello. sorry about the band problems. Wow, that was a new one on me. Never heard of something like that happening. I am trying to be so much more careful with my band now. I used to not mind PBing because I thought that I was getting rid of calories. After what happened to Manatee - I try and keep all my food down. (His pulled back through itself i think).Any way, nice to meet you and hope you do well and get reinspired! Metal band - 64lbs is terrific. You relly don't have that far to go. I still have 30-40 to go myself. maybe we will get it done in the coming year! Melissa - Thanks for encouraging all of us. If I was as dedicated as you with the gym and water and eating right. I would have lost so much more. You inspire me too! Weazer

Hi everyone...I haven't posted in awhile but thought I would post this NSV. My wedding ring hasn't fit in awhile and I miss wearing it so I took it to have it sized. I have always had sausage fingers so I was happy when the clerk told me the size 7 sizer fit.....I used to be a 9.5! The sizer that fit looked so small. Even more exciting was while I was waiting for the clerk to do the paperwork on my wedding ring, I was looking at another ring and she asked if I wanted to look at it. She then took it out of the case and told me to try it on. Well...every ring I have ever gotten had to be sized so I was doubtful but the ring slid right on!! I almost died! Never have I been able to wear a ring out of the case. It was beautiful, but even more beautiful was that I now realize that I am shrinking all over...even when the scale is a little slow to move.

Great NSV there! It's so mortifying. Sometimes I will tuck both ends under my top and pretend it's latched! *shakes head* The last time I flew, I called the steward over and motioned him close to me and whispered, "Could you discreetly bring me a seat belt extension?" He was so sweet, he nodded and came back with it hidden under a note pad. Mortifying nonetheless though. A couple of weeks ago, we went to our favorite Mexican food restaurant. We always sit at one of the tables, but I'm always envious of those sitting in the cute booths in the window. When we walked in I paused by the only empty booth but decided it was probably a no go. I have a large stomach AND butt, so it may be a while before I fit there. I can wait though. And once I fit in it, I'll never have to think about it again.

I forgot to share my NSV's! First, I had to take a flight last week, which I hated in the past because I had to use these embarrassing seat belt extenders. Well guess what? This time I didn't need an extender AND I had extra room in the belt. You would have thought I won the lottery to see the look on my face! And my second non-scale victory is that I've realized I'm only 8 pounds away from my license being correct! That's a big deal for those of us who consistenly lie about how much they weigh on their driver's license... MaryumC

I still can't get my pictures to post, but my avatar picture is from two nights ago when we went out for our anniversary. NSV- My husband said we were walking to the table at Texas Roadhouse and we walked by a table and he saw some guy look me up and down. He said it was the wierdest feeling. He's not use to that, neither am I. He said it was a guy a little older than us (not some old gross dude). I was flattered!

No weight loss to report today!!! I am a little bummed because I was loosing so steady all of last week. I did NOT drink Water this weekend or focus on the Protein.....now we did go to Schlitterbaughn in Galveston (water park) and we were there all day....walked and swam so much my legs hurt by the time we got home. I do have a NSV........usally when we go to water parks, or any amusement park...by the end of the day I cant walk because I have rubbed my thighs RAW. So I have these two red blister/rash on the inside of my thighs for days. Well I had NO RAW THIGHS on Satarday and I didnt wear short.....I wore the tankini w/ the bikini and a skirt on top. Feels great.......now I just have to focus this week...and maybe I will be in onederland soon!! Sandra 255h/242s/205c/165g

Wenjea, I'm with you on the re-committment!! Of course, I just made the family a vegetable lasagna for dinner (of which I will have NONE, thank you). It does drive me crazy when the scale doesn't move, but what do I expect when I weigh myself every day. I said I wouldn't but I do!! At the end of the month it always seems like I lose at least 7 or 8 pounds, which is exactly where I should be. I just want more. I'm so spoiled. But I'm wicked happy. I love my band!! Cindy Oops, I almost forgot my nsv....I went to buy new pj's the other night, mine were too big, and guess what? I bought 3 pairs of size MEDIUM. yyyeeessss!!!! (I know pajamas probably run big, but I was so excited. I brought all larges in the dressing room and one pair of mediums for shi...s and giggles. Well, I got to giggle cuz I needed ALL mediums.

Congrats Margaret on your NSV! I can't wait until I can use regular towels I unfortunately have hit my first plateau. No real weight loss for 2 weeks and actually am up a pound despite almost daily exercise (6/7 days a week) and no days of calories over 1500 (most under 1000). SO FRUSTRATING. Makes me want to say f*** it and go eat french fries and cake. how long do these plateaus last?? I don't feel like I need a fill- I don't get super hungry between meals.. this just BLOWS. yea for everyone who is doing so well so far on the challenge! happy monday!

NSV - NSV - Major NSV........ Lastnight, my DH was watching TV. I was in the other room cleaing out my closet, because that morning I was have a real hard time finding something to wear to work. I have been inbetween sizes and some thing too big and some things just a little bit tight. I was trying on clothes, and walking the the living room and asking what did he think. The first few time he said "That looks nice" the next few times "Wow, you look great" well this went on for awile, I then I came in the room with this SIZE 12 sun dress, (it was cut down kinda low in the front), he said "Honey, you look fine........................." No more TV watching for him or trying on clothes for me..... LOL. I just love my band (and my DH) Laura

I think I"ll just have my weight ticker tattooed in place, it's never going to change. I had two NSVs this week. One is that I went to a party where I only knew one person. Big deal? Yup, big deal since I am terrified of groups people. It's not like they are spiders or kittens or something like that, but I have avery difficult time with groups of people I don't know, I'm very shy. (yeah, who would believe that?) But I went to the party, and I was charming and talked to everybody. I don't think my husband would have recognized me.... The other NSV is that I've accepted that I'm not going to lose weight. Not until this Cushing's thing has been addressed or resolved. But because I've accepted it, I don't have to stress over it. I don't have to beat myself up any more. Oh wait, one more NSV, I need to take my watch to the Jewlers to have one of the links removed from the band! -

My favorite black cropped ones dont even need to be unzipped, I can just pull them up and down, lol. NSV 2- I pulled out a Leslie Sansone 2mile tape that killed me last time I tried to use it and was able to do the whole tape! The walks, bike, and weights must have me in better shape! -

MerryHearted replied to It's me-Debbydo's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I'm frustrated with how slow I'm losing, but when I look back it's been 6 weeks since the start of this challenge and I've lost 10 lbs, so that's not that slow. Anyone else felt like this? Maybe it's just lack of patience, maybe it's because I've been comparing myself again to others on the board whose weight seems to be just rapidly falling off. Mostly it's just my fault -- I haven't been exercising nor drinking enough, and I don't always make the best food choices. Anyway Start: 240 Now: 230 NSV -- I'm not sure I have one this week. I'm tired, cranky and frustrated. My "big issue" is with my little girl, who is 2 and needs her mommy around. Between crunch time at work (i.e. needing to work overtime) and knowing she needs my full attention in the evening before bed, I am not making time to exercise. And yet I still want my weight to drop as if I were. Someone just bonk me on the head with something, please! Maybe i'll get some sense knocked into me. -

Posting today since I probably won't find time tomorrow. Down another 2 lbs! Start: 240 Now: 232 NSV for the week? I managed to talk myself out of junk food binges a couple of times. I still need work in this area, and in just eating smaller portions at meals. Hope everyone had a great week. Go Seahawks!!:flypig: -

1/1/06 ~ 3/1/06 LBT WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE LIST OF FABULOUS PRIZES! 1. Gift basket from Slumber Parties by Lisa (DeLarla) 2. Shanna 3. Anwyn I'm going to be a buttinski here too... If there are going to be prizes we need some rules. Obvously someone who is 350lbs is going to lose more than someone who is 170. Maybe whoever loses the largest percentage of their excess weight...? I volunteer to compute this at the end of the challenge. That way I can fix the numbers so that I win (LOL). It would be nice to reward NSV's too but it's a hard thing to measure... Maybe we can all nominate our choice for best NSV by PM'ing Debby at the end of the challenge. Just my ideas... Debby, feel free to tell me to jump off - it's your challenge. -

Just got back from DC, don't know what my weight is, and furthermore, I don't care. I have a whole string of NSVs, the very most important one is that I went to DC WITHOUT AN INHALER. What's more, I didn't even need it. This is super significant because this time last year, and for several years prior, I couldn't go anywhere without at least 2 inhalers on my person. I had an inhaler in every single piece of clothing that had a pocket. Last year this time I had spent 10 days of the Christmas vacation in hospital, don't know how many trips to the various ERs. I didn't even realize that I didn't have an inhaler until the puddle jumper from Salt Lake to Pokey, AFTER my trip was almost done. very tired. must sleep now. -

Count me in! I like the NSV idea, but my suggestion would be to post one NSV a week instead of 2 or 3... That's just me though, I'm not very good at thinking of them. I don't have a big preference on the challenge length - I really like having a place to weigh-in every week. -
