Hello Fellow Bandsters,,

Whatever catagory you feel you fit in, you are not alone. We are all on this WL Journey together!!!!

I wanted to start thinking about next week. The new year has always aspired me to make commitments and try to do new and different thing. So I bring this to you all to help develop another challenge with a combination of other challenges so loved by all.

NSV and Weight in one post.

First Start Date, January 3,2006

End Date March 1,2006

Challenge is to list on the same post 1 new NSV (non scale victory) each week along with your WL stats. It would be helpful to date your entries.

The reasoning is to keep all your stas and NSV in one place for you and others who are cheering you on to follow. By going back and editing/updating your orginal post we would be back to basic each log in. Rememberng the whys and our accomplishments each week. Something I know I forget sometimes. By the end of the challenge we should have a great idea of how it's going and a quick reference to where we need to be.

If you are not yet banded - please join in and tracking your goals and accomplishments as well.

This WL thing is truly a team sport and together we can acomplish more!

ROAR!!!!

Any thoughts, changes suggestions??? We have a week or so to refine it.

COuld one of the moderators please sticky this?

NSV 1- One of the ladies I work with told me I needed to go shopping for some new pants! 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!

back to 177 and can't find the stuff on these Mexican keyboards. nsv -put on a bikini yesterday but the bottoms were so stretched out they wouldn´t have stayed on in the water.

current weight 251 (-1 from last week, -4 total)

nsv this week was walking 3 miles with friends over the weekend without having to be hospitalized after : ) yippee!!

NSV: I FINALLY had to break down and buy new size 20 clothing because I was tired of my old clothes falling off of me.

Mini-challenge weight - 256

Todays Weight - 247.5

Weight loss so far 06 - 8.5 pounds!

NSV - walking past a Starbucks without buying a green tea frappucinno!

Have a great week!

start weight 305

current weight 292

-13 lbs total

NSV - When I went in for a fill last week, I had room on both sides of the gurney!

I think I fergot to log into this challenge last week. I was up 2 lbs last week and I'm back down to 225, so that equals no change basically.

In NSV land... My mom is really happy that I'm getting my old self back. She comments every time she sees my fingernails painted a funky color (blue, green, etc). After my sister's wedding in April she may help me put a few green streaks in my hair. In high school I did all of it teal/green and it looked awesome, but I just don't know that I could do the whole thing again now. But a few select streaks would just look awesome. :thankyou:

189/182 - I've lost 7 lbs so far. I actually gained 1 lb this week:think because I had to go in for an unfill last Tuesday. I've really struggled with being hungry and having cravings that I haven't had since my first fill.

I'll be able to go back for a fill in 1 more week. That'll help.

NSV - No one has said anything about my weight loss so far until yesterday... 2 completely different people said something out of the blue. It was just what I needed after such a hard week.

Good luck to all - I really enjoy reading everyone's NSV's!! Keep up the good work!!:cheer2:

Not banded but I lost a pound yippee...now hopefully I'll keep it off Gotta change my ticker :girl_hug:

1/9/06 181

1-My size 12 jeans are getting loose, noticed this morning - I'm thrilled

3-Better control this week over the chocolate demons.

1/24/06 180 - FINALLY!!!!!!

NSV - I went to a support group. Nothing fits me in my closet! yea!

I fell into the trap of not wanting to post because of no weight change - bad habit! I'm back on the wagon!
