Let's have our very own Non-scale Victories thread!

My first one: I can do up the seat belts on the bus into work in the morning!! I work on a mine site and we get bussed from camp to site, and HAVE to wear seat belts (safety regs). The driver comes by to check before taking off and up till now, I've had to hide the fact that I couldn't quite click the buckle in. It's always been so embarrassing having anyone see me struggle and then have to hide my failure from the bus driver. This week, it was tight, but it did up every time!! YAY!

my NSV today was getting my first fill. I'm totally tripping out on what happened to me today. I had been feeling the normal ups and downs, but having this fill today, sparked a new feeling in me today. a feeling of joy and wonder. damn! it feels good

since I couldn't stop and eat anything after appt. I went and bought me a few blouses. I tried on 22/24 to big! I bought 3 blouses today size 18/20

now thats a victory

OK

one of my cats has been sick. And I woke up this morning to find that he puked all over my 2 pairs of jeans in a size 30. The ones that have fit.

ACK no jeans on friday!

So I was looking for another pair of 30 to wear and found only 28's So I tried one on and it FIT!

Yippie! I am working down sizes!

Now to fix my cat. poor baby

Poor Kitty Cerrin . . . but YEA FOR YOU!!!!! That has to be the BEST DAMN FEELING! I've been pretty much stalled all month . . . but was able to put on some 20 capri's my dil had . . . that ZIP and BUTTON instead of elastic . . . that is HUGE for me . . . (just wish I didn't hate capris!)

I'm going on a cruise to Alaska in May . . . and my mom just shipped me a vest she had . . . its beautiful tan suede . . . and I can wear it like it is . . . BUT I now have motivation to get busy losing again because I WANT to be able to zip it . . . not just have it handing loose.

All these NSVs are great everyone! Keep them coming!

I held my 6-y.o. daughter on my lap yesterday without having to elevate my leg so she wouldn't slip off. There was room on my leg for all of her!

I walked up the stairs to my kids' gym observation deck quickly (though hauling myself with the rails, still) instead of my pre-band painfully slow one-step-at-a-time speed.

I just donated 2 bags if clothes and now I have to put a belt on the jeans I just bought 2 weeks ago:ohmy:

Hot Damn Everyone!

Doing great!

Tomorrow I am wearing a skirt to work that I bought when I first began my teaching career in 1999! There are still a few of those things I can't wear, but I'm into most of them!

I had a good one tonight I thought I would start to tan tonight so I went and I use to hate the regular beds b/c the top hit my stomach and I barely fit width wise BUT tonight I had room to spare I thought the lid wasn't shut tight ,so I tried to close it then I realized WOW I had lost that much weight and had room to spare wideth wise also so that made me feel great.

here a small nsv for me... Well I told myself that I wasnt going to buy pants till I lost alota weight well... I gave in and purchased 1 size 40 jeans (old ones 44 which at times was tight before band) and well past 2 days... they started to become very loose =O I can take off pants without unbutton also ;p

gotta stick to that gym =)

I did a 15 minute mile!

On the Elliptical last night I did a 15 minute mile.

AND I DIDNT DIE!

Way to go woman! Keep it up! Wahoo!

Shopping in ladies not womens~!! WOOHOO!!

WOW! Jewelee, thats great. I cant remember the last time I shopped in misses/ladies. keep up the good work

Today I had 3 pieces of turkey bacon(first time i tried it) I just nooked it ,it was very good and didn't taste much different then pork bacon to me :-). I made a pork roast in the crock pot for lunch, everyone has cabin fever so we took the kids and drove about 35 mins away and watched the eagles at a lock and damn and took some pics of the family. We came home and I walked 46 mins on the treadmill ,then cooked burgers on the george foreman and had some cottage cheese and sf jello.Pretty good day I think. Just wish I felt like I had restriction ,I am also one of those ppl or can eat as much as I will allow myself to and still be hungry b/w meals. Dr. doesn't want to do another fill yet :-(.

Thanks Christasha, I was so pumped up about it. It was an amazing feeling knowing I could do it.

How are you doing?

You are having great results with your loss!
