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

Well, it must be the month everyone is buying pants! I too went shopping yesterday cause my size 20 pants were to big and ended up buying the exact same pants in size 16. I was pretty excited about that. I can't wait for 14 or even 12....wow.

I have been eating too much in the evenings and need to exercise more...I will get there. I need a kick in the butt!

Congrats everyone!

These are really fantastic NSVs. Congratulations, folks! I think the NSVs are interesting because they show things that the scale alone does not show, like the difference in the clothes sizes and blood pressure. And getting compliments is always an excellent NSV, too.

I had to share my NSV...I ran several laps of the indoor track without getting out of breath. I'm close to my goal and I'm losing inches now - hit a plateau but that's ok cause I feel fantastic. I love how my skin feels and hubby took me clothes shopping. And the compliments make me grin from ear to ear. Hope everyone is having a great week!

That's great Angel Bear! You must feel so accomplished. Any tips for us just starting out?

That's fantastic!!!! Congratulations, sez Green. What a wonderful BMI!

AWESOME NSV Angel Bear!

My favorite size 18 pants are almost literally falling down....yeaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!

They only fit when right out of the dryer, then they just look baggy and bad....so a few more pounds and they gotta go.

Spring is coming, so must find some nice new capris.

Thanks everyone. I started walking the track just a few laps a day and tried to add on a few more - then upped the pace just a little. It's taken 7 months but I can now run - I also feel lighter going around it.

Susansilver: just keep things small and set small goals - they are achievable and won't get you discouraged. I Celebrate my accomplishments each morning and I give thanks every morning for the miracles in my life - that sets the tone for the day. It's amazing what positive thought does to ones outlook and how much easier it is to face even the most stressful situations.

Green: Thanks! I'm pretty proud of the BMI

Yoda: Love how your ticker has moved. Way to go girl!!

Have a great weekend everyone and see you thinner.

Thanks Angel Bear....

Congrats on the great NSVs! :clap2:

A little NSV to add. Yesterday I was in a craft sale. In other years I just dreaded taking all the boxes in and out of the van after the sale was over, I usually tried to get my husband to come and do it for me. Yesterday, not only did I quickly load up my van, I helped two other older vendors with their stuff, and was never out of breath!!!! Woo Hoo!!!!!

I am a craft sale vendor as well. These things can be brutal, and this last Christmas just about killed me at 350lbs. I am looking forward to being a leaner, not so meaner sales machine this Christmas. I had better be since I am doing 8 - 3-4 day shows starting in mid october to early december. Oh yah I promised myself I would not lave building my stock until the last minute this year too. This is my side business for those who are interested

Andrew: very cool stuff too!

That IS great Cloe...that's what its all about!!!

Very neat stuff Andrew; thanks for sharing!

I have lost 28 lbs since I started the pre-op diet at the end of February. I am finding that I need to take some my clothes in because they are getting baggy and I fit into a pair of pants that I "grew out of" - yippeeeee I'm doing the happy dance!

You guys so ROCK! Can't wait to post on this thread.

Oops I did post on this thread...sorry.....
