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?

I have started a bag of things that I just CAN NOT wear! I have been trying to stretch my old clothes long enough to avoid buying new right now, but there some somethings that are starting to look like maternity clothes or something on me. I am pulling them out and they are going away.....far far away! I just can't believe they used to fit me!

Hi Officeslave, we have a clothing xchange you might be able to unload all your too big for you clothes on.

PS, Congrats on your NSV!!! It's so awesome, for sure!

I am no longer morbidly obese or even very obese. I am now in the plain old obese range (hopefully not for much longer).

I am also single again after my partner of 6 years left me to go and find himself and his freedom (and picked up a 20 year old within a week or two _ I'm 25).

I'm not coping well but can only imagine how I would be if I was still at my heaviest and had no band. I'm devestated but I have hope of being slim and healthy and getting out there again. And when he sees me he'll kick himself :thumbup:

My two NSV's -

I was wearing a baggy 28 (my butt was SO huge, OMG, it was gigantic!) and now I can fit into a 20.. it's so weird because a lot of my weight came off my lower half when normally I lose my waist first. I have lost a lot of waist, but wow... I think I've lost about 6 inches in my butt . Now, granted, the 20's are tight and give me a muffin top, BUT, they button and zip up easily. So, I'm sticking with the 22's for now, but in about 8 more pounds I think the 20's won't give me that muffin top. Because of that I had my hubby take down the two big tubs of clothes from the attic that had all my 18's, 20's and 22's in them. That was nice..

I went to my sister in laws and when I sat in her chair there was actually space between my side and the chair. Holy crap! I use to touch the sides big time. That felt really good.

I was soooo excited the other day when I had to move my seat forward in my car because I could'nt reach the pedals. It was like overnight I just needed it moved up. I am a nurse and almost daily now one of my co-workers tells me I need new scrub tops because I look like little orphan annie. AND these were tops that used to be too tight. Congrats to everyone!

Today when they were prepping me for surgery they used the regular blood pressure cuff. I needed the large one before. Told the nurse "Wow, nice NSV there.".

Come to think of it, I think they used a regular cuff on me today at my yearly womanly check up. Also, the gown fit me with no problem. I used to hate putting those things on.

I got the regular cuff today too! It´s the little victories!

I'm wearing a pair of size 14 skinny pants that I haven't worn in three years!!!

Wow! You are doing so great! You're almost normal weight. I bet by your 6 month you won't even be technically overweight anymore. Congrats

Congrats everyone on your NSV's, that's so great!!
