I don't see a thread under our month for NSV's. But althought the scale hasn't budged we shall all have Non-Scale-Victories!

My NSV

scale dropped...BMI dropped...it is unofficially at 39.1 BMI. I would not qualify for the surgery....if insurance was paying for it!!!!!:crying:

but will know officially on fill appt at surgeon's office-keeping that as my official weight-ins.

What NSV do you have to share with us?

You go girl! I found a treasure trove in my store room yesterday. I'm going to have a big dry cleaning bill because I found a bunch of stuff that either fits now or will in a week or two. I had forgotten that I had packed them away so it was like shopping. Unfortunately I didn't save any tops, just bottoms but now I get to shop for sweaters and shirts to go with the skirts and slacks. I had better taste when I was thinner. It's coming back though.

WOW....Everyone is doing great

Hey fellow VV's. I have quite an interesting NSV to share today...

It was the strangest feeling but, as I am at work today :gag:, I was sliding all around in my chair. I noticed a significant difference in the way my chair slides with me now. It is so smooth and quick, where before, it was quite hard to maneuver. Embarrassing to say... Wow, it mostly the little things that happen, that make you realize your body is changing - for the better!

I had a wonderful NSV today. Went to Walmart and happened to pass swimsuits and looked and saw some with longer skirts that will cover tummy hangover. I knew an18 would fit so I took a 16 knowing by summer I could wear it. Got home, tried it on and it's only a little tight, I could wear it now. When I took it off I realized it was a 12-14 missy. I almost fainted. That was happy NSV for me!!!!!!

I have a funny NSV today. I love taking baths, but I hate that my tummy was always so big it stuck out of the water like one of the Hawaiian islands surrounded by the sea! LOL! My belly was always cold and looked so stupid poking out of the water. I took a bath today, and the water completely covered me - tummy and all. Hee Hee!

:wink: I want you to know that that is FUNNIEST THING I have heard in long time and needed a good laugh! Of course, it could be so funny to me b/c I have the exact same problem but mine looks more like the entire South American continent!!!!:tt2::tt2: ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!

I am loving all of your NSV's! Keep em coming!

The other day I was out riding my motorcycle and my engagement ring kept sliding around my finger from the vibration of the bike. It has never done that before. Also, my best friend was over here yesterday. She is heavier than me but has been losing weight on her own and is now in the size I was at when I was at my heaviest. I went through my closet and gave her some pretty dresses that she can either fit in now or will be able to fit in soon. She was thrilled that she got some nice new clothes and I was thrilled to get rid of them! Good riddance! LOL

Becca:

I had to laugh because I can so relate to this bath issue. I haven't taken a bath in about six months because of the "cold tummy" issue. Now that I'm down near 200 I think I'll try again.

Thanks for the laugh.

OMG, OMG that is soooo true. My belly is still cold but I am waiting for the moment whenit isn't.:biggrin:

Two diffrent people told me that they could tell I have lost weight today. I couldn't be happier.

Okay, so mine isn't really a NSV but it made me feel soooooo goooooood that I had to post. :lol:So yesterday I went and got my first fill and I'm all excited about starting to lose weight, that I'm just giddy. Well, as I'm on my way back to work, I happen to come up on a car wreck. It had already happened and the police and fire truck were clearing the roads. So how about the 2 cuties in the "backseat" of the firetruck were totally checking me out and waving and smiling!!!!!! :drool:HMMMM....FIREMAN:drool::tt2: That just completely made my day and I was giddy the whole day!!! :sneaky::thumbup: I had totally forgotten what it was like to be checked out in a good positive way!! It kinda gave me back my spunk I had been missing!!!! LOL

Ready, that is my favorite kind of NSV, when people notice! Sometimes we can be kind of hard on ourselves and don't really see the improvements. So when people point it out, it feels so good! :ohmy:

Beach, WOW! What a great NSV!! It's so nice to get flirts from some cuties... :huh2:

Keep up the good work everyone!

Great thread 4jin.

I went shopping last weekend and actually found pants in the misses dept that fit. Granted they are stretch pants but they are XL none the less. The 1X in the same style was huge on me. I haven't shopped in that department in about 20 years. The woman's department is going to miss me.

I went walking yesterday and could actually walk up a long flight of stairs without stopping to catch my breath two or three times. I won't have to go looking for elevators anymore.

I too am waiting to go to the doctor's office for an official weigh in because I don't trust my home scale. It hasn't moved in about a week but I still feel great!

Hang in there everyone!

I am having a difficult time putting up one of those progress scales you all have, can someone walk me through the process, guess I'm computer illiterate.

Who's that touching me.

i was walking through walgreens today and felt something touch the side of my hip....i turned to see who or what it was IT WAS ME!!!!!! My own hand brushed my hip when i walked....due to my upper arms and torso weight my hand had not brushed my hip in a very long time...also i can now pretty comfortably cross my legs.....whooo hooo

my loss so far is 32 lbs....just can't get in my head how much that is but little things like what happened today put it into concrete real terms for me

can't wait till tomorrow

love my band

amanda

WE rock you guys!
