All bandsters know that our weight loss journey has nothing to do with numbers on the scale. That is why we have (yipee) non-scale victories! Why do our goals find themselves on the right hand side of some bad-assed ticker software? I need to hear Non-Scale-Goals!

I had several NSG's when I began this----many of which have been successfully met.

*To eliminate some or all of my prescription medications.

this was met!

*To be able to ride my elliptical for the entire 30 minute pre programmed work out!

This was met!

*To play with, run with, generally enjoy my grandchildren.

This has been wonderfully met--today I slid down the slide in the park!

*To shop in "normal" stores.

Most stores carry 14's----there are those annoying 5-7-9 stores--but are they really for 40 somethings???

*To find my confidence again----and slowly but surely I am picking the pieces back up!

All kinds of little things, crossing my legs, soaking all of me in a bathtub (and being able to get out), giving myself a pedicure, tying my shoes on top instead of on the side! Sooooo many little things---you discover new things each day!

I hope to throw pretty undies over my shower rod to dry. These days, there is enough underwire to keep a pony.

That's what I'm talkin' about.......happy to know you Kat817

My pleasure Jill----you will find as the weight comes off you will find little things all along the way that you had forgotten what they were like!

I love my band!!!

seeing my collar bones.

running

walking in heels and not dying

crossing my legs

scooting the car seat forward, not hitting the gas with my tiptoes

having my DD wrap her arms completely around me

no seat belt extender on the plane, no look of dread from the person seated next to me
