My recent NSV......My husband says I no longer snore!!!:biggrin1:

OK I'll ask!!! What does NSV stand for? :faint: :help:

It took me a long time to figure out what PB meant, I was embarrassed to ask. I'm still trying to figure out some of the lingo here.

non scale victory, wheezy.

Yes my husband and i don't snore anymore YEAH. I don't have to wear earplugs to bed anymore BONUS.I haven't been able to wear my work clothes for over 1 and half years .Now they fit comfortable

non scale victory, wheezy.

Thanks Neenagh,

My first NSV was that I came off of one of my hypertensive medications and that was only 20 lbs!!! I'm hoping that I will be able to come off of the other.

My second was that I was able to fit in a pair of jeans that I couldn't before the surgery

i can't think of any nsv's yet

I'm no longer on one of my hypertension meds....I don't expect to come off the other one though....even if (I mean when!) I get to goal....I've had hypertension since my early 20s (when I was thin).

So, going off one of 'em I find to be a major NSV.

Also, I bought a size 18 pants the other night and they fit!!! YEEEEHA. I fell in love with another pair of jeans and bought them at size 16....course I can't do 'em up...but I will soon enough...and then they will last me longer!

That's great Yoda, off one of your meds.:clap2: :clap2: That's exactly why we are doing all of this sh....t. To become healthier and if while we are becoming healthier, we happen to fit into smaller pants, well, that's icing on the cake :happybday:

P.S. I know it's not your birthday but there's a cake..lol

LOL Thanks Wheezy!

Mmmmmmmm.....cake!

:hungry:

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm cake. Woo Hoo size 16 & 18 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My boss told me I looked thinner, so I said, "Ya a few pounds" LOL

The two people who see the most of me both say that I look thinner, especially in the face. (What I want most is to see that damn gut disappear....) I am healing really fast from the surgery and am feeling very positive, a miracle considering that I am a genius at being depressed!

hey green, chin up!! I have shrunk everywhere, but my tummy seems just as huge. As I loose the weight it just keeps getting jigglier and lower. Its horrible!! I keep hoping the next couple pounds will be in the stomach. Not complaining, 'its a good gross'. LOL .

Yah! What is it about the gut, anyway? Mine is as ugly as it ever was. Well, maybe a tiny bit smaller....

I've got one... I often grab the back of my neck for some reason... I just noticed that I have less of my 'fat hunch' back there! WOO!

So yesterday I brought up all the rubbermaid totes with all the winter stuff in them. I pulled out my winter coat that I bought at Penningtons last February. It was a beautiful coat, it was the kind I always wanted. Full length to the ankles, black, fur collar, comfy and warm. I wore it once last year for about 15 minutes. I put it on and well.......it hung on me like a garbage bag. I could have put someone else in it with me. I was actually sad because I loved this coat, however it is a NSV. It also made me think that just the past February I was in a totally different place, probably a depressed place, but little did I realize what was just around the corner.:bounce: :bounce: My consultation with Dr. Cobourn was in March!!

I was at Sobeys this morning with hubby....I saw an ex-member of my gym at the checkout with her daughter in the cart. I was ahead of her, she was talking to the person behind her. She quit the gym in early June to take the summer off because of her kids being out of school and said she'd be back in October....she hasn't seen me at all during that time.

I didn't want to interupt her but I said a few things to her little girl...she turned and looked to see who was talking her daughter and turned right back to the person she was talking to.

My husband and I were outside loading the truck....she came running across the parking lot yelling "Carol, is that you....I'm so sorry....I didn't recognize you, you look so different.....I thought I new that voice but couldn't place it". LOL

Carol
