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!

That is awesome Dub! Its the little things isn't it, that keep u going.

Even my elastic pants are getting too big to wear!

So you all know I've been swimming in the cesspool that is online dating. People don't go on "first dates" anymore, they go on "meet and greets". I feel so old. I get it, though, you're not stuck sitting through a dinner with someone you have nothing in common with.

Last night I had a first meet. We went to the park near my house, and all of the seating areas were full. They converted part of the park to a skateboarding area, so it's a lot busier than it used to be. My date suggested sitting on a grassy hill. My first thought was, am I going to be able to get my happy arse up off the ground afterwards??

I pretty much hopped right up when we were done talking! I was grinning like a mad woman!

So it's a half nsv/ half sv...I'm only 20 lbs from a "normal" weight/bmi...I don't remember the last time I could say that. It's funny because I am really quite pleased with my weight now, my personal goal is just 3 pounds more, and now I am a bit curious...just a nice "dilemma" to have

I just realized I'm posting in the wrong forum...I just saw nsvs and got excited lol.

That's okay. It gave me an excuse to come back here and look at @@Dub gams again!

me too. ha.

The scales hasn't really moved. But I just tried on a size 10 jeans! I fit!!!! That's always been a goal I wanted to reach. I've never been a size 10 even as a teenager. Always a 12 and up. I asked my mom how they liked and she said, I think they're a little loose! So tried on a misses 11, and it fit too!!! Was a little snug, but not tight!! I can't believe it! Size 8 here I come!!!

LMAO.

I wouldn't have been caught dead wearing shorts for the last several years due to the staining on my lower legs from crappy circulation.

It is the sole reason I've been going to the tanning spot.....just to camouflage the stains with a tan.

Now.....for the first time in many years I am wearing shorts in public.

This pic as taken this past Tuesday morning as I was leaving the tanning spot.

Bad looking varicose veins and scars all over both knees from football field mishaps.....I couldn't care less. Comfort is gong to be had this Spring & Summer. Shorts will be worn.

Getting rid of this weight feels so damn good. There is zero downside to being less fat. So damn grateful. So far yet to go, but truly happy with the decision to have the sleeve surgery.

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blahhhhhhhhhhhhh. Blah Blah Blah.

Blah blah blah blah blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

There. I translated for you. That's what us wimmens (at least some of us wimmens) hear when you talk and show yer rockin' bawd at the same time.

LMOA. Am wearing jeans to work tonight. First time in 18 years........Dayum.

Old dude feeling.........less old.

I have been walking so much that yesterday the dog ran away from me when I was putting on my walking shoes............

bwahaha! I imagined your dog saying "oh hell naw!"lol

Walking shoes? Lucky you. We're still in wellies here in the UK!!! Took my dogs out for 2&1/2 hours yesterday and although the smaller pair were giving me 'that' look that told me they thought that I had gone a bit far (literally) the bigger re-home bitch was still going strong. I keep telling them that seeing as we have the best park (Bushy Park, right across the road from Hampton Court Palace) for dogs five minutes walk from home we might as well use it. I would never walk that far and for that long before my sleeve. Ain't life grand with all these little but really, really important NSVs
