NSV

I had to take my mom to the dr. today and while sitting in the waiting room I crossed my legs (as if I had been doing it all along LOL). I sat there a good 15 minutes reading a magazine and it was like BAM I looked down and I was actually swinging my leg and it had been crossed the whole time. I almost jumped up and shouted right there in the waiting room. I can't tell you how many many years it's been since I've been able to cross my legs. Something as simple as that can bring such joy. Thanks for letting me share.

I know exactly how you feel!!! I have been able to cross my legs for the last month and I was amazed and shocked that I was able to after 15 years of not being able to cross my legs.

Congratulations and to many more NSV's!!!

Good job! Each NSV is better than the next, it's the little thing that you have been missing out on for years that mean the most. I can touch my toes (and I do it often just to prove it to myself..lol) My jeans are hanging off my bottom and suprisingly my shoes are getting floppy. Enjoy each new victory! You work hard for them and you deserve each one! :D

That's awesome... a fun NSV! Congratulations.

I know isn't great . I have been wanting to make a a list./Book on all the things I couldnt not do and very truley afraid to have happen to me again. They are slowly happining every day. It makes me very happy.

That's awesome. I can't wait to cross my legs and slide under my desk. It might be 30 pounds away, but I'm still looking forward to it.

Congrats to you!

Congrat!!! Its such a cool feeling!

I had my moment yesterday! I was able to walk a longer distance with a slight incline... and not be out of breath!!

It was great!

Awesome!

Ain't NSV's the best!!!

The scale moving down is great but the NSV you don't expect puts it in prespective!

CONGRATS!

Congrats!! NSV's are the best especially crossing your legs. I can cross my legs, but also discovered I have bones--my wrist bone is protruding! lol

Thank you all for your support. And Shad I know what you mean about your wristbone, my watch is actually so loose around my wrist I have to keep moving it up to the fattier part of my arm. Hey ANOTHER NSV. LOL.

Congratulations! keep up the good work!
