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!

NSV shout that I can wear thong sandals because before I was so heavy my weight pushed down on my feet and made them cut the inside of my toe.

My mom bought me some boots from Target on clearance and they are knee-high, usually there is no way in hell those things would actually zip over my calf, but these did!! Same thing with another pair she bought me from Sheik. I now own more boots than I ever have in my life but have always wanted to but couldn't because of my big calves.

Working out doesn't make me feel like I'm going to die, though it does still hurt, but that is the point right? No Pain No Gain?!

The guy I'm seeing right now can move me around easily when cuddling, and does just for fun.

I don't hate any of my clothes. I don't have to buy things that are "fat flattering".

I'm in the overweight BMI category and I don't remember this weight ever in my life.

I have more energy to play with my nephews and coach softball.

So I'm on vacation this week, and I was 1 dress short for an event. I was able to shop out of my sister's closet (something I haven't been able to do in a LONG time) and fit an XS dress!

My favourite thread, always happy reading all NSVs congrats you all!

Today is Crazy Shirt Friday at my office. This is a fun group activity that I'm trying to keep going through the Spring and Summer. In anticipation, I went to a thrift shop yesterday and got 7 wild and crazy blouses for $20. This could not have happened last year. I had to buy my clothes online and at plus size stores. I never would have found 7 different items that would fit in an impromptu stop at a thrift shop!

@karlam29. Isn't your dress lovely! Have you already had your big day? If so, I am sure that it was great! A new life! I want to fit back into my wedding dress. My husband and I were married 20 years ago.

Hi - my best NSV so far -- was feeling very fit at the gym, so afterwards decided to pop in to Dress Barn to see if I was down a pants size. YES I WAS! Now wearing size 10 petite! I cried in the fitting room. Arrived at the hospital last August in size 22 pants. Never, in my entire teenage or adult life have I been a 10. Someone at work asked me when I was going to stop losing. I told her when I no longer cast a shadow!

I was sitting in an Atlantic city Hotel room yesterday when my husband came out of the bathroom and said "do you have any idea how great you look and do you realize you are sitting there with your legs crossed?" WOW it was a good day!!!

8 months ago, the biggest belt I own didn't quite fit. This week, it doesn't quite fit.

I found a cute white denim skirt and tried on the size small. It was too big. maybe it was mis-sized, but I'm taking it as an NSV anyway. A year ago I could not have squeezed into it at all.

My NSV today is that I ran my first 5K. I not only ran it but, I was able to run 13 min miles. I could not believe it.
