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.

Hi, its been a very frustrating new year. In December, I was losing so much weight, I replaced my avatar with a rocket shooting earthward. That's what it felt like. So far this year, I have lost "0" - (as of Jan 15)

However, I started preband at a size 46 man's waist. Last week, for grins, I bought a pair of size 36 levis at costco. I figured some day I would get into them. (I have been at a 38 for the last month, which in and of itself is nothing short of miraculous)

So, for grins today, I thought I would pull them on to see how far up they would go on my thigh before getting stuck.

I pulled them on, and they actually FIT! I buttoned them with no problem. IT WAS A MIRACLE!

My wife responded with: "You need to not get any smaller than you are!" :wow2: :)

(I don't recall ever hearing that in my life).

I responded by telling her that I am looking forward to getting into some 34's one day, since that was my size in high school.

And to know that its possible, since it is only one size away, well, that is truly amazing.

Thank you, bandland!! :rockon:

I'm weighing in a little early this week... I stayed the same weight but I had a good NSV today. I was able to get through almost all of Kare's exercise CD! I skipped 3 songs. I did 30 minutes on the treadmill, 23 minutes on the elliptical, and 5 minutes of cooldown/stretching for a total of 58 minutes. It's probably been about 8 years since I worked out that hard.

No weight change...

NSV... I went to a bridal expo on Sunday and realized today that the entire time I was there I wasn't self conscious of my weight. I think that's pretty cool.

NSV - ok, here it goes. During you know what last night, my DH said he could now feel my pelvic bone.

I guess it's been too padded to feel before now. Interesting, huh....

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
