Ladies, I'm so excited today! I just slipped my wedding ring on! First time in a long time!

Anyone else have a NSV?

Way to go Crystal! Don't that make you feel great?

Good for you Zoe! I keep wondering about my BP medicine and if I need to get it decreased or not. I am looking forward to the day of getting off of it all together.

I so excited since I have decided what my first NSV victory "prize" will be....the day my insurance gives the "O.K." (see I am being positive!) to cover my surgery and the surgeon and I set a date...........I will start my tickerfactory under my name will all my information!!!!!! Can't wait to do this....

Very cool about your BP Zoe! My sister has high blood pressure something terrible, so I understand some of the dangers of high blood pressure.

I got a great NSV Sunday night when I got home. My sweet son wanted to know how I was doing, with the band. We've been apart since I got my band 10 weeks ago. He said I looked really good, and that my face was full of life, and that I was glowing.

Then I had to chase him down the stairs and out the front door, and around the truck. I RAN down the stairs, I RAN around chasing him until we nearly colapsed laughing!

Here's mine - Every time when I am in a car, the seat belt locks up on me and drives me crazy. I used to think it was the belt, but lately I have noticed that it doesn't happen any more?

I go to the doctor on Wednesday and I am really looking forward to it because I am having a very hard time with my bad eating habits - it seems that they have returned! Although I had a fill last month - I have almost no restriction and I can eat way tooooooooooo much.

I went shopping w/daughter at Old Navy on Sunday. I just needed a few skirts/blouses to get thru the summer. Well, the skirts I liked best were only 12 or 16, NO 14's. So Hanna (my daughter) said, "Mom, it's meant to be, let go try on"

THEY FIT! Not loosely like all my clothes have been lately, but they definately fit! I still have a roll under my belly button, but that's left over from my reconstructive surgery for mastectomy & will be fixed later this year. My DH couldn't believe how good I look. I can't wait to go to work tomorrow, cause they've all been bugging me to buy new clothes cause mine are hanging on me. What a great feeling!

I had a skirt in my wardrobe that I brought, and was sizes too small for me.

Well. I tried said skirt on (size 18 regular! woohoo) and it FITS. Not just that, it is a little on the loose side! I am thrilled.

I have gone from a size 26 to an 18 in under 4 months!

Today I wore a pair of jeans I haven't been able to fit into since 2002.

Today I walked 15 minutes to and from the restaurant for lunch, and I wasn't winded, and I didn't need my inhailer.

Today I took a walk with my son and he had to tell me to slow down (of course the silly boy wasn't wearing any shoes...)

Today I went grocery shopping after work, and then DID NOT collaps on the sofa all night.

WTG Crystal! Keep up the great work girl!

I was so happy to find out the size 18 pair of shorts I bought fit with room to spare! My mom complimented me on them saying they looked really good. Made my day.

Another day, another NSV. Today, not only am I wearing for the first time, a shirt I got for Christmas, but I RAN FOR THE BUS. Yes, you read that correctly, I RAN for the bus. It's not like there wasn't another bus in 5 minutes... but I RAN. Me! and I wasn't winded either!

Heh, sure, I'm happy with all my NSVs but a part of me is wondering when I'm going to start having some weight loss!

And here I was, worried that I'd never have any NSV when I started this journey...

Today, I needed a belt! Now, I'm not in any real danger of pulling a Jonathan in the grocery store, but my pants are uncomfortablly loose. I didn't even think that was possible!

So, I dug out an old belt that I haven't been able to wear and it fit!

1 notch down, 13 more to go!

Good for you. Sounds like you are doing great.

Vinesqueen, I am loving all of your NSV's. I love how you are able to pay attention to them so well! Surely I have had some good NSV's...but I can't recall! Anyhow, congrats. You are doing such a great job!!

Thanks Kathy, sometimes I feel like I sould ask the moderators to change the title of this thread to Crystal's Never ending NSV thread!
