I keep track of my progress using the 3D Body Scanner at my club every month. The comparison capabilities are pretty impressive and precise.

That's cool.

Now, I'm like, take all the pictures you want. I'm constantly posting selfies and pictures of myself with others online. It's so much fun. One of my favorite NSV.

I've seen your photos on here. You have done so well and should be proud. You look great and looking forward to when I can smile for the camera. 😁

Thank you. I'm proud of you, too. Down 76 lbs. in only 4 months. Go, you!

So great that you're tracking your body fat. I have done three body fat DEXA scans. I was down to 18% when I hit my goal weight. I wish I had started earlier so I knew what my baseline was.

I finally found my bones......my hip bones, my ribs, my collar bone, and my ankles!!!

A future NSV for me will be when I lift the ban of no pictures posted of me on Facebook. At my heaviest, I had family taking pics at get togethers and posting online. I hated it and told them not to and yes, it's a pride thing. I don't know at what point I will feel comfortable with it again but I can't be the only one here who doesn't want their overweight photos online for everyone to see???

I'm looking forward to the day that I'll be OK with it.

mark me down as another who doesn't mind getting a picture taken after the weight loss....BUT i still have a no social media post ban on posting my pic online without prior permission!

(its the same courtesy i give others)

always get consent, people! its just good manners 😉

Just make sure you're taking progress photos for yourself. It crazy to look back and comes in handy during a stall.

I couldn't agree more. Progress photos are a great booster when you are feeling frustrated or the scale has not been moving for a while. I used to take almost daily photos with every new outfit I try.

I do mine once a month along with body measurements. I also get a bodpod, or body far composition test, done as part of my post op care. I love seeing the difference.

i agree.....TMI....my area down there is easier for Mr. to get to1 🤣

I have a new NSV... I can comfortably cross my legs when I sit. AND they stay on their own without having to hold them. It really is the little things that feel good

It that, but it's also the confidence I feel and project that makes being intimate more enjoyable and fun. My husband has responded to that more than being able to get there easier.

I was at a CVS and the automatic doors got stuck half open/half closed. I was able to fit through to get in. I would not have been able to even a year ago. I had gotten down to 141 pounds for a long time then became an alcoholic and gained back 40 pounds. 1 year ago I went to rehab and have been sober since. I have lost 52 pounds so am down to 135.4 pounds. My lowest since the WLS. My surgeon's goal weight was 135. I want to be at 125 I think.

Congrats on going to rehab and continuing your weight loss journey.💗

A few NSV, I can finally close the towel around me, my hubby folded my tank top and put in his drawer thinking it was his, and my digital scale kept giving me a warning to have the app open when weighing in because people were within same range, I thought it was me because I was trying to see how much my weight fluctuated and how that affected my body fat % but turns out I'm 8 lbs lighter than my husband.

I think I may have cried when I realized that the towel wrapped around me.
