A Canadian "NSV" Thread



Recommended Posts

Wow, congrats you guys!!! I too would like to TRY running... I'm such a weirdo, I'm too embarassed to even attempt it at the gym. A couple times when no one was around, I cranked up the speed and trotted for a few seconds.

How immature am I? I have this feeling that if I had sunglasses, maybe I could do it outside. I guess because my 5 year old mind thinks that people can't see me with them on?! I will work on that though... maybe in the summer. Dan always wanted me to jog with him, and if I was doing it, I could drag him out with me, and get HIM started losing (more) weight.

I have an NSV, which I just remembered today. On New Years Eve, we went to a party at these people from works house. Around... 3-ish, we called a cab, and the 4 of us that live in the same building 'group' left together. Outside there were people smoking, so we (the girls at least) gave them Happy New Year hug, and the last guy PICKED ME UP, and swung me around. (he's a HUGE guy) It was scary, and totally foreign to me.

If you recall, I was excited a little while ago when I let Dan pick me up for the first time. I'm sure this guy would have NEVER attempted it even a few months ago... and if he had, I would have done my good old 'turn into a noodle' move, and slid out before he got to!

Yay for strange men picking you up and swinging you!!

Argon,

I think I know what you mean about being picked up. Over Christmas my great DH picked me up and I was like... wow aren't you going to break your back... but nope.

Sometimes I think I forget that I have lost any weight at all.

I keep telling myself that I will post before and after pics after I hit onederland. I looked at your argon and they are amazing!!!!

Oh yeah, I got asked yesterday at work, by a different lady, if I've lost weight. I kinda embarrassingly said "uhh... maybe." 'Cause there were people around! I hate that! She said she thought so but I was always wearing these huge baggy clothes (which, hey, I am SO almost not doing anymore!) ... and she just wanted to rip them off and see what was underneath! Just as she said that, the same guy who swung me around walked in, and seemed quite interested in this conversation! haha So, yeah, I giggled nervously and got the heck outta there.

And, same day... my friend was walking behind me and said "that shirt is SO 3 sizes too big for you". I realized it was a little ridiculous looking. Damn... I like that one.

Yah, I quite enjoyed my little shopping binge of last week. In fact I haven't got around to hanging any of the stuff up yet. I am enjoying looking at the pile of new clothes too much, I guess.:scared:

Argon, you're such a funny noodle. When are you coming out to Edmonton? We need to go do some shopping for you. I see spandex in your future.

Oh god... who knooooows! I can see myself being in Calgary before Edmonton, for sure. Dan will probably drag me out there to see his family again someday soon. You can come to Calgary and save me from 'family time'!

I also see a super short, platinum blond hair-do in my future... and screaming something about insanity?!

Funny. Don't make me laugh like that. I'll come out to Calgary for sure. We'll take a drive out to Banff and drool over all the hot snowboarders. Mmmm...already drooling and it has nothing to do with food.< /p>

I hope your not kidding, that would be super cool. If I were 20 years younger, I would certainly do it!!! You could certainly pull it off!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
