Okay, I have just experienced something I have NEVER thought would ever happen! I had to renew my drivers license. First since before WLS (3 1/2 yrs). I am Shocked. I LIKE the pic! I had to do a double take and then grinned from ear to ear! I'm sure people thought I was strange grinning widely at a DL! LOL

Anybody had a similar NSV lately you want to share and give us some joy???

Bought size 10 jeans today. Never ever ever in my adult life has this happened Size 10!!!!! Woo hooooo!

Also funny. I can stretch my quads by pulling my leg from behind. Something that a big butt and gator arms always prevented !!

I wore my first pair of skinny jeans. Me and skinny in the same sentence, crazy.

i had no prob passing/walking in the aisle

even laughed out loud as i was noticing all the room i had on each side of me

passed on the key lime pie

I redid mine in August and I put 150 even tho I was prob 170 but it still felt good.

I just experienced the best NSV ever! This just happened...

My 10 year old was playing in the basement, he came upstairs and said, "Mom, I found some pictures of me when I was little and you were in them. You look really different now. Your face used to be so puffy. Mom, you lost a lot of weight, I am really proud of you!". He then came over to me with a smile on his face and gave me a big hug.

My heart melted.

He was only 7 when I had surgery. I asked him if he remembered me when I was big. He said he didn't. I was glad. He also told me I looked really sad in all of the pictures.

We talked for a while about being healthy and about never making fun of fat people. He then asked me how our lives would be different if I wouldn't have been fat. (Where in the world this little guy came up with a question like this is beyond me!) I told him that was a really good question and asked him what he thought. He said,"I think you would have been a lot happier and your face wouldn't have looked so sad in those pictures.".

This was a very touching moment for me, I don't want to ever forget it.

My hubby tried to put my pants on this morning to go let out the dogs. Normally they would be big on him...but today he couldn't fit into them! He was like " wow...they are too small! When did you get so small?"

I just found this thread and have loved reading all of these NSVs! It makes me smile. My newest one was this last week at work. One of my coworkers said "we just keep watching you shrink away" and another one said I was looking "svelte". I never in a million years would have dreamed anyone would refer to me as svelte. Never.

Okay update! Today I needed a belt to wear yes I said a belt. Until last year I don't believe I've ever worn belts. About four years ago someone gave me a beautiful Brighton belt. Until today I could not wear it. Three years nine months later 110 pounds lighter I have it On!

I couldn't even wear it when I reach the goal originally at eight months

Thanks 52 also I think I've whittled down my body size!!! Whoo hoo to me!

I love every single one of these NSVs @@proudgrammy

NSV you want to share ???

Georgia

Recently elevator doors opened - packed with people from ear to ear

i was gonna wait for the next elevator

someone said something like "come on in, you are little enough"

On t'day I looked at the couch with 4 family members sitting - i figured no way could i squeeze in

my cuz said something like "kathy there is plenty of room here for you"

my mom has always been very small, petite

she said she had a couple of blouses i might like to try on with a jean jacket too

i laughed saying - "mom you are so little i'll never fit into your clothes"

but........you guessed it, they fit

keep those NSV's coming!!!

Athletic... this is one of my favourite NSVs si far. Love this @@CowgirlJane good for you

I have been called "athletic" by a couple of people recently. somehow that description of me just thrills me - a word I never imagined I would hear used to describe me for the first time in my life at age 49.

Size 8 Capri jeans today!
