First Non Scale Victory!

[jessamarie24 173]

I'm 4 weeks post op and the scale hasn't moved much this week. I was feeling a little discouraged but remembered that sometimes when the scale isn't moving, inches are being lost. So I decided to put on a pair of jeans that never fit. Even when I bought them I didn't try them on and then of course grabbed the wrong size. I couldnt even get them over my butt! I put them on this morning and they finally fit! They are even baggy in my thighs now! Definitely a great motivator and now I know I at least went down a size. Woohoo!

I love that feeling. Feels wonderful. Good for you. Clothes are better judges then the scale.< /p>

Very very true!

Awesome.... Is that the best feeling or what ???? I too have times where the scale does not move for a week or so, don't get discouraged it will move again. I also bought a really pretty top which is my inspiration to get into by the end of september - that keeps me motivated, plus I spent a lot of money on the top too !!!

Keep up the good work

Thank you! It is an amazing feeling! I though about doing that.. I want to buy a dress and make it a goal to wear it for my birthday in October!

WTG!!! Non scale victories are great in 2 ways. 1 the victory & 2 next weeks weight loss will most likely be bigger! What a great motivator!

Stay Strong & Moderation

The first 2 months were the worst for me. Congrats on the jeans. I have a pair I can't wait to wear but still have a ways to go.

Thanks ladies! I can't wait to be further out. I met with my nurse for my 1 month post op and she said the first 5 weeks are the worst and it slowly gets better! I can already tell. For me the first 3 were hell!
