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!

Is it a "secret" group? I want to join it also, but do not want anyone on my friends list (or anyone who is not a member of the group for that matter) to see that I am in it, or see any of my posts.

Confidently dating a fireman who is also a fitness guru. He is aware that I am working hard at improving my health and physique and is very supportive.

Holy smoke! Just bought shorts in a size 8! Tried the 6 on and did get them buttoned but they were still pretty tight. If I had confidence I'd keep losing I would have got them but it's so slow now, it's hard to believe I'll actually lose enough for them to fit right. I'm happy with the 8 and never dreamed I'd ever be this size again!! Happy Spring!!

Way to go all of you ! You give me hope and put

a big smile on my face . Wow-can I identify !

Folks, please know that unless a FB page is "secret", your friends (and anyone else!) can see that you belong to the group! Unless you're ok with everyone knowing you belong to "Bariatric Surgeries 2016", please be careful. If you're ok with everyone knowing, rock on! I just feel that not everyone understand that "closed" is NOT the same as "private". See pic for what I was easily able to find with a quick search...

Here is my NSV. I got my engagement ring out of the safe and it fits.! It has been so long since I have worn it that I forgot how beautiful it was!

When your 18 year old son looks at you wearing skinny jeans and tells you with all sincerity "Mom, you look so fit!"

Thanks for info

I haven't had many NSV I'm only two months out so everything is slowly changing. Last week I had a few of my students make comments about how skinny I'm getting and how great I look- that is coming from HS students. I was also able to get into a pair of pants two sizes smaller today pants I haven't worn in at least 7 years-before I had my youngest!

Today I saw my primary doctor. The nurse taking my vitals used a standard Size blood pressure cuff on me!!! That's never happened in my adult life.... Always had the larger size cuff!!!

NSV - When you look at a photo and think who the hell are you.

It's the little things that really hit home as cool NSV's.

Last week.....getting dressed at the gym.....crossed my legs and couldn't believe how easy it was.

Now....when I go out to restaurants.....I always request a booth.

Last week at work I even sat at one of our booths in the cafeteria. Everyone complains about how small these things are....yet there I was....sitting there and was completely comfortable.

At my 3 week checkin they used the blue smaller blood pressure cuff instead of the big burgundy one...

omg i'm stoked for spring!!!

So many NSV's this last week. I am at a loss for where to start, so I won't.

I'll go more towards the end. It was a small victory, but one that sorta dawned on me after it'd happened.

Had a perfect week....ending with a long night. Next morning light was harsh and scolding. lol.

I needed coffee. Blessed coffee. I knew just the spot and they had just the right brew. Next, I needed a place to hole up and sip a bit.

An inviting looking nook but the chairs looked liked they'd been made for a little girl's tea set. lol.

No way I'd fit....and no way it'd hold my big arse.

I did........ it did........ and that was some good damn coffee with a nice breeze coming through and the sun on my face. Peaceful times. Serene.
