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

Cloe,

Ya know I think I just needed a kick in the pants. I went to the gym today for a swim with the kids - my bathing suit almost fell off in the Water - now that would have been a sight!! Ha! Thanks for reminding me how successful 2006 was compared to last Christmas!!

Here's to you fulfilling your goals too!

Sounds like an excellent NSV to me, Angel Bear. I love the idea of your bathing suit being in free fall.:omg: Teehee.:mad:

Here is my latest NSV: I went to the dentist today and got loads of compliments on my skinnier self. And my jeans which used to be too tight really are very baggy.:mad:

Wow Cloe,

Good for you. That's one off your list of things to do in 2007!

I have a new NSV to report. For some time now my size 16W jeans have been getting kinda baggy on me. These were jeans that I was unable to fit into at the time of my lapband operation last September even when I was lying down before trying to do up the zipper.

Today I did a massive shopping freak out after months of wearing very baggy clothes. I bought a skirt and a pair of pants in size medium :Banane44: at a normo store and I bought two pairs of skinny jeans - size 16 - at the Gap. :woot: I did not have to lie down in order to do up any of these clothes!!! :faint: And I think that the kid at the Gap wanted me to buy the size 14 jeans (but I was afraid).

Great NSV Green, you are doing great congratulations:clap2: :clap2:

Maria

very kewl indeedy! Well done!

:clap2:

You rock green! in a NORMO store no less!

Green, thats fantastic!!!! WTG girl!!!

Thank you my friends. I have to admit that I was very afraid to even enter the Gap because a) it is a normo store and :mad: their saleshelp are skinny teenagers. It was only after my size 16W jeans had been baggy on me for quite awhile that I to get up the courage for this stunt.

The other store was easier. It sells a lot of loose-cut baggy linen pants and skirts. It was neat going down from their large to their medium, though.

I still wear size huge in tops and probably always will. I have broad shoulders and I don't like my shirts to be clingy or fitted.

And the skinny teenage salesgirl was really nice.

My new NSV... my goodness how lucky I have been. It was a wonderful morning today and I ran. I ran 4 km (I walk occassionally) and it felt good. That and my size 16 + jeans are my current thrill. I am trying to train for a 5 km... some times I am just amazed at how well this has worked!!!

you guys are all great!!

Dawn, You RUN!?!?! Wow, i barely walk! never mind a 5k. hehehee. I'm thrilled with my size 16s too!

I'm so happy we are all doing so well

Congratulations to both of you sweet sixteens.

thanks green, sounds bit like a cheesy porno! lol

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!!
