What are some of your non-scale victories? I had my surgery July 26th. So far I've lost 34 lbs but there's other achievements that I see that help me on the days the scales aren't going down. I've gone down a pant size and anywhere from 1 to 3 shirt sizes. I'm starting to see an increase in my energy level. My thighs aren't rubbing together when I walk and I can tell that I walk differently now. I climbed two flights of stairs earlier this week and could still breathe when I got to the top!. Lol

Wonderful nsv! I tubes and rode jet skis with my kids for the first time ever this summer.

I was working in my niece's yard the other day with my shirt off in the hot Florida sun. My wife, sister-in-law, and my niece walked by.

My wife whistled and my niece said, "Hey yard boy, you want to rub tanning lotion on my back?"

I said, "That's how Deb got me!".

They all laughed.

I felt like Matthew McConaughey for a minute.

I had 2 in one day! Yesterday I was standing in front of my gym waiting for my trainer & a truck with two guys drove by. They whistled & made kissy noises. Normally I would be disgusted but I burst out laughing when I realized they were doing it to ME!

2nd NSV was while I was working out - I had my hands on my hips and realized I could feel the bones without even digging my fingers in!! OMG, I HAVE HIPBONES!! Who knew?

NSV's 10 days out...my clothes are already falling off, I went to wawa and didn't get a soft pretzel (my favorite), most importantly? My dad said he wouldn't let me fail and he can already see changes in my body.
