Hi all. I am now down roughly 60 pounds and seven weeks out from when I started my liquid pre-diet. Am also having some awesome NSV moments. Some are:

• No longer wearing 3x shirts. They are packed and ready to be taken to Goodwill.
• My size 48 (expandable) pants? Gone too.
• Can button my pants at my belly button. No more "slant pants."
• I wore a much smaller belt...and it was a new one!
• Went three days this past week without needing a mid day nap.
• Three days now without any slimes or throwing up.
• Joined a local health club to work out.
• Snoring is all but gone. No more BP meds at all (125/65 is normal now). And BMs much more normal and less stressful.
• Bought myself an I-touch. That was my 50 pound loss gift to myself. Any suggestions for the 100 plateau?

That's a short list, but ones that come to mind.

Please, share yours!

Let's look at the fact that this journey is not just about the weight loss, but about all the wonderful things that continue to happen along the ride!

Wow so many NSV. They truly inspire me and make me so proud for all of you. I am halfway through reading all of these, and my hat is off to you all!

Noticed a strange one today....hopefully some will relate

Wearing a dress today when I realized my thighs were making a random, kind of gross, slap sound when I walked....it then occurred to me that they were no longer stuck together like glue creating god awful thigh rash! My thighs finally are almost free!

And! My support panties are no longer supportive....they are just granny panties! (Guess I need to go shopping!)

Oops! Duplicate! Stupid phone!

Buying a dress online that was smaller than last summer AND having to return it for a smaller size because it was too big when it arrived. And ordering a lab cost in a much smaller size than last year and being able to button it all the way up! Clothing changes seem to be the biggest NSV at the moment.

Had a weird NSV today. I get gel shots in my knee (orthovisc) every year or so for a genetic abnormality and they have always hurt so bad, but had my first shot today since surgery and losing 85 lbs and it didn't hurt AT ALL. Amazing! Love my skinny knees!

Awesome NSV tonight.... Went to a Detroit Tigers game. I was walking ahead of our pack, or with the pack, and did not struggle in the least to keep up. Zipped up and down the stairs. Walked up steps in parking deck without feeling like I couldn't breathe. Wearing jeans that are now too big that I hadn't worn since 2008 - friends noticing how loose they were. And of course, sitting in stadium seat comfortably. Awesome night!

I've had a few NSV... They are almost as good as seeing the scale move down.

I can wrap a towel around my body!

I am less out breath when I go up the stairs!

When someone sits next to me on a bus, I don't feel like I'm taking up all the room!

Woo hoo!

First day of personal training: I got so red faced, sweaty, and out of breath, that my trainer kept checking my heart rate to make sure I was okay.

Today: He kept checking my heart rate because I was breezing through the cardio routine. He was super impressed with my progress and had to amp things up.

Getting my very nice TREK bike down from the attic (hasn't been ridden in MANY years) and taking it to the bike shop for new tires. Have ridden with my son in the neighborhood which was so much fun. Now I am ready to use it for exercise. Very exciting! Still scared I will fall but it felt wonderful to ride a bike again.

These are great - and so inspiring! Thanks for posting them. My NSVs of late are:

Getting a massage (I do two a year) and discovering I fit on the table without tucking my hands under my thighs to keep them from falling off the table!

Noticing that even after a ton of extra steps today, my knees don't hurt at all going up stairs!

Jewelry is better - rings I couldn't wear for years now fit (wedding ring included!) and necklaces that were too short and felt tight are now just right.
