*wear a pair of shorts and go out in public MET

*wear a pair of heels and walk on grass without sinking ALL the way in

*cross my legs

*ride in airplane without extender MET

*get back on top (use your imagination)

*tuck a shirt into my jeans

*wear a choker necklace

*fit into regular boots

*buy a bra from a regular store

*rock a baby comfortably without them sliding away MET

*get out of SUPER Plus sizes MET

*get out of plus size department

*join a gym MET

*walk for at least 30 minutes everyday and increase MET and on-going

*get on the other equipment at the gym

*fit into my wedding dress again

Been going to the beach every day when I haven't been in 7 years. Only 3 weeks post op but I'm feeling much more confident. And the mall! Wow its like a whole new experience. I go in and out of every store not just lane bryant and bath & body works. So much more enjoyable. Oh and I bought 2 new swimsuits in size 16!

My favorite NSV, my oldest grandson hugging me around the waist and being so excited that he could get his arms around me!

My favorite NSV :

1) FINALLY riding all the rides at 6 flags with my children

2) Purchasing a pair of Aeropostale jeans online and THEY FIT!(was one of my goals).

3) Doing laundry last week, folded my 13 year old daughters pants...have her come back 5 minutes later "umm mom, these are yours"! WHAT??

4) being able to cross my legs

5) wait, I have ribs, collar bone and hip bones?

6) sitting on the couch with my knees drawn up to my chin (HAHA!!)

VICTORY IS MINE!!

My first NSV since having surgery one month ago would be when I went for massage on Friday (my birthday present from coworkers), and the towel they gave me to cover myself actually covered

me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Last time I was mortified when it didn't cover and they gave me a sheet instead

I have only lost 23 pounds but I think it all came from my booty! LOL

My favorite NSV is my husband of 33 years can now hug me and his arms touch in the back, that has never happened in our entire marriage, and I love every second of it!

Honestly, I think EVERDAY I find a NSV

I fit into my Miss Me jeans today!

Mine was on top lol. I was so uncomfortable with my weight that I hated the way I looked. My hubby would tell me I saw you have 2 c sections and I've held your hand when you were sick, I love you no matter what and think your beautiful but I just couldn't do it. Well finally after losing 54 pounds and feeling better about myself. We got a hotel room and I got on top and it was amazing. I was missing out. And the whole time he was telling me how sexy and beautiful I was. It was definitely one for the book lol. Too much tmi sorry
