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!

Buying regular size clothes that did not come from a plus size store. It really showed me how far I have come already! Great feeling!

Happy happy happy for you all and your nap. Lauraellen you look bautiful

Thanks!

Nsv..

This is a Nsv that has been posted so many times. My first experience fitting in an airplane seat.

Well my journey started in January 2011 I weighed 274 pounds at the time of my surgery I am currently 53 by July 2011 I had already lost 100 pounds and then by the end of 2011 I actually met my goal weight which was originally 140 but then six months later I finally reached 132.5 the journey hasn't been as easy as I thought I do believe they need to do a little bit more in-depth conversations regarding the mental health portion of the surgery and how it affects your entire you know mental and physical status I believe it that probably would've helped a little bit however I mean a lot of life changes within a short period of time after surgery so anyway as of today 2015 I'm fabulous I'm add a great weight my body is healthy as much as it can be I'm happy I don't really understand the whole single thing and being thin thing however I'm learning it was the best decision I've ever made even though it's been kind of traumatic to recover.

Here's a first for me! I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night and was shocked to feel cold water on my toosh!! Someone left the seat up, and my booty went in! Lol I should have been pissed, which I was at first, until I realized my butt had been too big for far too long; that hadn't happened since I was a little girl!! Lmbo!????

Wow Jen with room on each side awsome

Lol big mama love that story

I bought size 14 pants today! I haven't been below a 16 for over 15 years. Started at a 20-22W in June. I thought the size was wrong so I tried other 14s on and they fit too!

Wonderful nsv here. I love to hear about them.I agree with roux2011, it is definitely a mental trip. I am still a for addict. One of my nsv is getting into a size 14\16 pajama shorts. That's crazy. Sometimes I see body and can't believe it. I still have a few pounds to lose but I am happy with my progress thus far.

Football season is finally here and I weigh less then the defensive line players! ????????????

Hit 100 lb loss do i finally went shopping, and surprisingly had to keep going back for smaller jeans! Went from 28 to a 14!

I have two. 1. Yesterday, I took my jeans off -- without unzipping or unbuttoning them! I just slipped them right off!

2. Today, I didn't have any clean clothes for work. I saw a dress hanging in a dry cleaning bag that I had cleaned a long time ago so I could sell it at a consignment shop because I figured I'd never fit into it again. Lo and behold, I tried it on and it fit! It's a size 12!!!! The last clothing I bought was 2X!

That's awesome ????

I was in Chico's today looking at the clearance racks. The sales lady came over to me and said "You're at the wrong end. You're probably a 0 or a 1! (their sizes are different - I think a 0 is like a 4/6). Didn't buy anything there, but I did buy a size 6 skirt and a size small sweater at Marshals. Gotta say, shopping is surreal.

Ive always been pretty honest with myself. I always knew I was a big guy. when I look in the mirror, or take a picture of myself. to me I always look like what I think in my head. its probably a mental thing.

In the past this certain thing has happened quite a few times. I'm at a convenience store standing in line waiting to pay for my goods and out of the corner of my eye I catch a glimpse of the security monitor and I see this huge guy standing there and I think to myself "I'm big but I don't think I'm that big yet" then I look again and that guy is actually me. then I'm in a bad mood the rest of the day lol

The other day I was going to a different location for work. in this building there's a hall where the elevators are that all the walls and elevator doors are mirrors. I was walking to the elevator and I noticed this guy out of the corner of my eye and thought I should be that size soon. when I stopped and pushed the elevator button I realized that was me in the mirror. the reverse of what Ive experienced before! good mood the rest of the day :-)
