I had surgery on 11/29 and I’m trying to not focus too much on the numbers on the scale or on my clothes.

My non scale victories since 11/29

Had to have a spacer put on my wedding ring

I’m wearing a coat I haven’t worn in 2 yrs

I got rid of my pre-surgery work uniforms

I’ve cleaned my closet twice already

What are your non scale victories?!

The scale is not my friend today (2 lbs, overnight, wtf??)

But I feel fantastic, and am loving how I look (in clothes, naked is a whole nother story!)

it is amazing the amount of water we can store in our bodies. never use day to weight use at least weekly averages to even out the up and down of the water.

at 8 lbs per gallon water can really move the scale on a day to day basis.

Thanks, I know I've been on plan and not done anything different, it's just my body messing with me. Doesn't make it less frustrating though

I see what you mean about your waist/hip proportion! Classic hourglass, you lucky girl!

I have never been not an hourglass figure folks, I'm 58-48-60. my rump is like 2 large watermelons and my leg muffins are bundt cakes instead. Oh I badly need renovation and need it soon! PS Silly Kitty you are right where I goal to be, at 5ft8in it won't look shabby at all! ❤Frustr8 the Futurely Slim

Ughhh you look fantastic! I hope I get that great shape when I'm down to 175!

@Orchids&Dragons At the rate my boobs are shrinking, I'll soon be a pear!

@AshAsh1 Thanks! But it's all a mess when it's not being held in by jeans!

This may sound dumb, but simply not having to hide in loose, black clothes. I actually feel comfortable wearing colors again!

You look fantastic! My boobs have shrank so much too. My daughter saw me changing and said “ummm, mom, I don’t want to be mean, but, ummm, are your boobs smaller?”

My sister, who's kinda a b*tch, says last time she saw me "OMG, you HAVE lost your boobs!"

Yet one more of those advantages that men have - as they lose fat, their "parts" appear larger, as women lose fat their boobs and booty shrivel!

I'm 46lbs down and the nicest surprise I've had so far was when I got into the car and my usually-wobbly-jelly-belly didn't touch the steering wheel!

I’m in Eastern Europe at the moment and eating while a little challenging I’m happily finding food I can eat. I hate the look on wait staff’s faces when I only eat some but I’m doing what I need to.

My other NSV is I voluntarily put myself on the 5th floor as opposed to 2nd in a place with no elevators. I’m not dead yet but oh man am I feeling it by floor 5. I can’t image doing that 60 lbs ago...

My husband, who is a totally awesome guy says my boobs look great and still are still big in proportion to me. He’s a liar and I love him. After nursing 2 kids for a year plus each and now losing almost 70 lbs, I have a pair of 38 longs.

I have just measured myself and using the measurements from before my surgery, I have lost 42 inches from my body, gobsmacked!

Unfortunately, 6 of those inches are from my boobs
