am on a plane now. for the first time in 10+ yrs, no extension is needed!!!!!!

That is awesome!!!!! It must feel great!! Good for you!

<p>I have to share my NSV. Yesterday on my daily walk I found every few steps I was pulling up my pants, so when I got home I went shopping in my daughters closet and tried on her pants, THEY FIT. She wasn't very happy that I stole her pants, but I sure am. Started at a size 30W now a 22W, long way to go but I'm on my way. I can't remember the last time I was in a 22.</p>

WOOOO freakin' HOOOOOO ladies!!! WTG!!

Congratulations, good for you! Isn't it damn nice you don't have to do the "Ask of Shame" as I call it, you know calling over the skinny a$$ flight attendant so she can call over the pa that you need an extender?? Keep up the great work!

thanks guys... and the worst thing is, i work for the airline and own an extender... sometimes i forget it and all the flight attendants know who i am so yeah, not a good thing...

i wasnt even going to try it, but so glad i did!!

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got off a plane, too. And, not only did I not need an extender, but I fit in the seat with the armrest down and the tray table came all the way down!!!!! I was so excited!!!! I still have a long, long way to go, but hey, its a start!

Congrats! I cannot wait for that feeling of being able to fit comfortable and not ask for the extender.

Btw, excuse me if I sound dumb, but what is NSV? Or DH? I always see these terms and I'm just trying to figure out what they mean...

I forgot to add I haven't driven in several months and today I borrowed my daughters little kia car and for the first time I didn't rub the steering wheel. I also walked to the store twice today which is a mile, with a long hill at the end. I feel so proud I could burst. You see, no more wheelchair walker or cane for me, I sent them to the nursing home.

NSV means Non scale victory and DH is Dear husband.

I love being able to fly on a plane without an extension. Good job!

losingjusme~that is wonderful. We are all so proud of your dedication and hard work, you have inspired many of us...thanks, job well done!

Congrats to all! I just got back from vacation...the belt fit, I could even cinch it, and the tray table went down, and I could read my magazine while it was laying down flat on the table! It DOES feel great!

NSV's are the best!

Congrats to all of you! How exciting!

Congratulations to all. I haven't flown since my surgery and am anxious now to see how it all happens! Good Job everyone! You deserve every NSV you get!

Ciao bellas! KT
