This thread inspired by Alexandra's ice skating thread :girl_hug:

Here's a place for us to post our NSV pictures. An NSV is a non-scale victory, so here's me riding a bull last week after losing 75 pounds since banding.

Post pictures of your old pants, bending over to tie your shoes, dancing, wearing a bathing suit or anything you've done since losing weight that makes you feel amazing. Hurry, we want to see!

Hot Topics Sister store ROCKS....Torrid~~~Thats where the Happy Boots came from actually~~ Everyone looks sooo awesome~

I have my toes tattooed....can you say OW? lol LOVE them though. I used to have both nipples pierced but they "fell out" which sucked. I`ll do it again when I get skinny:) I do have my traguses pierced (that nubby thing in your ear) that HURT. LOL

my friend got her nipples done and they fell out too.. I cant see mine ever falling out.. I have had it over 6 months

I got my first tattoo about 2 years ago when I lost 50lbs...didn't keep them off, but got to keep the tattoo. I want to get my upper ear pierced again...but want to get it done at a tattoo shop so I can wear gauged earrings. I got it infected before thinking i could stretch it from a regular piercing...ouch. I also want to get my belly button done later after the tummy tuck and I really really want a lower back tattoo. I want some type of celtic knotwork with a fairy. It would be great to some how put in some kinda of band relation or weight relation into it without looking stupid. Hmm and then maybe something on my shoulder? LOL Aren't tattoo's addictive.

I also really would like to be able to wear some of hot topics stuff. My 14 year lives in fear that I'm going to start stealing her clothes when I'm closer to goal LOL.

Mellissa, you may want to consider a Celtic Cross this is great icon, that I think meets with your requirements. It is Celtic and contains a ring which in your case could be a symbolic representation of the band along with thhe other possible circle and ring interpretations. I am not religious but this symbol has meaning to both Christian and non Christian denominations and the great part about the Celtic Cross is you can add you own life story through the symbolism you decide to adorn the actual cross. It's kind of a traditional Icon that has the ability to be modified to represent the bearer through their chosen symbols.

Just so you know I do not have a Tatoo so my views are based soley on my interest in symbolism and have no foundation in Tatoo artistry.

Cheers

I have no tats myself but I have created flash for a local shop. Maybe I'm an honorary?

LOL Nykee - that cracked me up. MF!

Now I just have 2 holes in each ear, but friends and I used to go to the beauty upply and buy the disposable piercing guns. I used to have my eyebrow, lip (lower, near the corner of my mouth), and nose pierced. We pierced our noses using potatoes and sharp piercing studs. Had both ear cartileges pierced. My bf at the time had a Prince Albert, and tribal band tattoos on either side of the head of his weiner. Talk about ouch!

here in canada those are known only as.. CFM boots...hehe...you go girl...they look hott!

hey guys..guess what i got ~~~~~a camera phone~~~~this could be pretty dangerous~~ muahahahahahahah check out this pic that it took. If you compare this one to my last photo (no cleavage this time) the difference in my face is noticable. lemme know whatchya think....

Gorgeous! You are beautiful! Do you know how to do a side-by-side? Post the cleavage pic here, and I'll bet someone will do that. JanetC comes to mind these days!

I love my camera phone, but the pics come out pretty grainy. Not like a digital, but it's fun. Look at your phone under Tools and see if you have any backgrounds. Mine has 4 or 5, one of a muscle man with the face cut out. I took my 3yo son's face pic inside that muscle man background and it was too funny. I keep finding things like that on my phone!

Good job, doll. You look mahvelous!

hey porcin do you remeber me ?From Maurie's support groups
