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!

I put on a pair of jeans that didn't button before surgery and a top that was tight and both were baggy on me. Luv it!!!!

I am most looking forward to not having to use a gallon of lotion if I want to put some on! Oh and wearing shoes with laces!!

All my years of being married to my hubby, I could never ever fit into his clothes. Now, I can fit his tops,pants and jackets. The only thing I cannot fit is his shoes. I am able to cross leg,sit indian style on the floor and able to get offt he floor with one hand only. Theae nsv are the bomb despite the fact that my scale is not budging. I am down from a 3x to XL and some L and loving it. I still have like 40 piunds to lose and I will take it from there.

I can park in tighter spaces (a problem in LA) because I can squeeze out better!

A great NSV happen to me today. I am in a size 6 jean today. I could not believe it. Hard work and determination really has payed off..

I tried on a dress in a 16. And it was too big. They didn't have a 14, so my husband brought me a 12, and it fit!!!!!!! Before surgery, 5 months ago today, I had stopped buying sized clothes when 22 didn't fit me anymore! =)

Bittersweet: Saying good-by to some of my favorite clothes, and not having the money to replace them! This morning went through the laundry basket and couldn't find any pants that fit. Goodwill pile growing!

Onederland is so close, I can "taste" it!

I am wearing 32inch trousers and its kinda loose.

Sell your old clothes on Poshmark, and then you'll have money to buy new ones! That's what I've been doing, it works great!

Oh, for my latest NSV: Went shopping at American Eagle two days ago, a store that I always liked pre-surgery, but couldn't fit into any of their clothes... anyway I had tried on a size 8 jeans, and they were too big! I had to go to a size 6!

I think the nsv are more important than the weigh ins. I was in Dillard's the other day and I found I fit in their plus sizes. I was too big for that before. I started crying with armfuls of clothes to try on. Its these things that make the journey worth it. Not the number on the scale.

What does NSV stand for?

Never mind...I see where that question has been answered.

With work I had to go and visit one of our other offices. When showing my Work pass, which has an old photo on it, they refused to believe I was the same person. I had to call a colleague to come and tell them. ????

This time last summer I was wearing size 28 pants and shorts.

Today I am going shopping for size 18 jeans and shorts because my size 20's are too big!!!

I am amazed every day with NSV's. There are so many, and I am so grateful.

I am so happy that I had the surgery. I will not do anything to mess this up!
