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 LOVE 501s. I found a pair that were reduced in the January sales and although they were too small I grabbed them as I can't resist a bargain being the tight fisted Scot that I am. They are now slightly too big but the slouchy, 'boyfriend' look is fine with me so I wear them with my Frye boots which now actually fit me! I couldn't get them up my legs before I had surgery but I found them on eBay a couple of years ago, brand, spanking new and going for a song so just had to buy them. Isn't it great wearing fun clothes again after wearing things that could be used as camping equipment-i. e. tents!!!! I'm back in heels again too but, dearest Dub, I don't advise them for you. Mind you, whatever floats your boat................. x

Those look like way too much work! lol. Congrats!

lol......that's why I only button a couple of them......

decided to get my rings sized down

i had the same fix with my nose and belly button rings

A bit a more room these days...

I'm two months out from surgery. At my gym last night, part of the workout was a 15 minute timed run. I thought well, I guess I'll just see what I can do. As I was running, I kept increasing my speed because I was not fatigued.

I did 1.65 miles in 15 minutes...that's a 9:05 minute mile. It felt awesome to see that number...still smiling about it.

Here is one for all of the shorties to look forward to.

I was buying t-shirts at a concert. Kids $25, adults $30 or.... 2 kids shirts for $35.

Tried on the biggest kids size, too big. Tried the next one down, perfect fit.

Yes, I am a tight arse

Way to go guys can't wait til I can see those days. Thank you

The arm band I use for my cell phone when I am walking/running and working out now fits comfortable and doesn't slide and move like it used to because it is actually secure because my arm is smaller.

I wear the same size panties I wore in HS and College but I am 40-50lbs heavier

Wearing short shorts and tank tops in the 100 degree heat and still feeling cold Okay not really sure that is a victory but being 1/2 naked in the summer is a lot of fun.

Watched an entire movie with my legs crossed at the movie theater in a bodycon skirt.

My BMI is finally in the "normal" range!!!!!!

And I went shopping over the weekend and did another closet clean out....I fit into and bought a size small black pencil skirt!!!!!! A SMALL!!!!!!

I weight less than I did in the 5th grade. And In middle school I was wearing adult XXLs. So to now fit into a small....is just unbelievable for me.

NSV - Fitting inside a toddler pool with my grandson! Loving summer.

@@jenn1 I love this! my grands are one of the main reasons I went for the surgery! I want to DO stuff with them!

I had my surgery in April of this year... went to the doctor last week to find out how my new lab work came back..

last year my cholesterol was 196, this year is 169

last year my a1c was 6.5, this year is 5.6

not sure what my fasting blood sugar was last year, but this year it was 98! My fasting number was always the hardest for me to get under control...even back years ago when I was on insulin and metformin, I still could never get it in the "normal" range...so seeing that 98 was fantastic... almost as good as seeing on the lab report in black and white "the patient is no longer diabetic"! Woohoo!!

That had to be the best non-scale victory for me to date!

My blood pressure was 106/64. I'm off my prilosec. I've gone from size 22/24w down to 16/18w in pants, shorts and bathingsuits.. shirts I can wear just regular XL and L instead of the 1X & 2X's that I had been in. My shoes are all falling off my feet..even my flipflops are too big lol. And soon I may need to get my wedding and engagement rings resized... that's crazy.. I was in a panic before surgery trying to get them off. I hadn't been able to get them off in at least 3 years. Now they're spinning on my finger all day long. And I went from the large fitbit band to the small one!

I had my surgery on May 11th, and caught a plane for the first time yesterday. My seatbelt has a large tail, and the aisles seem much wider and the toilet is now quite roomy. This is the best feeling ever. People ask if I have any regrets because I can only eat such small amounts and it's things like this that make me say HELL NO!

Had a nice little NSV myself today. Only have a couple pair of shorts left (that l can wear safely/ without falling down). I knew I had dropped a size or 2 from 42-44's I had been wearing. Did a little shopping at Kohls and actually fit comfortably into a size 36 pair of Levi denim shorts. I seriously do not remember the last time I was in a 36, let alone getting the first pair I tried on.
