Hey everyone. I have just come into some realization. I was looking in the bathroom mirror last night and guess what?? I have shoulders and collar bones now!! Not just two humps of fat on either side of my neck. Sounds silly even to myself when I think about it but I have been overweight all my life (39 years). In fact, I am 10 pounds less than what I recall putting on my paperwork to get my driver's license at 16. It's amazing the things I am now realizing now that I have lost almost 60 pounds. I also noticed that my shadow is smaller. When I saw it, I thought it belonged to someone else and no one else was walking with me. When I realized it was my shadow, I just giggled like a young girl in love. AND I bought my first pair of size 18 jeans the other day. On 1/19/07 (surgery day) I was wearing 26's. Like some of you, I have been in a weight loss plateau scale- wise for like two months but it's things like this that mean so much more.

I have a board that I am posting all the things I want to do or NSV's I think Those will keep me motivated on this band. I havent been banded yet but I am getting excited about being able to see the results.

Congratulations on all of yours.

I am awaiting surgery a week from tomorrow and am getting really excited. Feeling Really excited! Guess that in itself is a NSV. Ready to grow and go!

thanks for the NSV site! I'll visit often! I know there will be many of them to come.

Crishell that's great!

I have a new habit of sitting and rubbing them as a comfort. I love feeling that hard bump of bone that has been hidden under its protective fat layer for as long as I can remember.

LMAO ... i can totally relate. i think i drove my DH nuts ... I SEE THEM I SEE THEM, can you see them too???
