NSV Thread for the May Bandsters!

Have any NSV's to post? Non-scale victories... Even though the scale may not be moving down just yet, weight loss results in other forms.

I put on a pair of 18 jeans that I could not pull up and close in about a year...and they fit!!!!! And they went up with ease!!!! My work pants are also sooooo baggy! YAY!!

Let's hear it May Flowers and Shrinko De'Mayos!! :P

I am totally off all three of my diabetes medication. That is 6 pills less I have to take. I am also off my high blood pressure medication. I have a bad liver so it really helps to be off as many medications as I can. :wink2: Besides losing weight, my biggest goal as been to get off the medications.

I also was able to go out and buy some new clothes. Everything was so baggy.

4_17_211.gif Patti...What a wonderful NSV. Off some of your meds.

I have had another NSV.. I cried and still am tearing up some...some of you will understand this one others who haven't been as big might not.....but I was trying on old clothes this morning and a lot of the older ones fits me again...great, but a little while ago I decided to use the tape messure on my hips...It actually touched! No more guessing how many inches in between the ends. Is it 5" or 6". I didn't do my messurements when I had the surgery because of how much I had to guess. This is very emotional for me. Even though I see the scale moving and clothes fitting it just wasn't regeristering 100%. Now it is. I can look at pics and actually notice a difference! 36_1_75.gifThis is so awesome to me..

Sorry so long and rambling!

Gone 4 ever - That is so exciting!!!!!!:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: I really like it when there is a difference in the weight loss but I personally get more excited about the different NSV's. You go girl!!!!!!

I am happy because I was able to fill up 2 contractor size bags of clothes that are too big!!!! Gone forever are the big clothes!!!!!

Well I havent gotten as lucky as all of your with the NSV's. The only things I notice is I'm losing everywhere but my midsection and IT SUCKS!!! Bra cups are lose on me I went from a DD to a D size now..it snug around my body but the boobies are shrinking and starting to sag:thumbdown:. My pants are lose on the legs,but when I get to my stomach it's still snug :grouphug: so I havent bought any smaller clothes yet.

congrats to all on their NSV's and their weight loss.

blessed be

dolphin

yeah, lol, the second place i noticed i had lost weight, was in my boobs!! ah well, that's what plastic surgery is for!:thumbup:

K, I am gonna turn up the heat for a sec....:thumbup:

My newest NSV: Last night during the middle of sex w/ DH, he picked me up to switch positions.

Just in case you missed that-HE PICKED ME UP!

Of couse it freaked me out and I screamed put me down because I still suffer from fat girl syndrom. I am trying to let go of my issues but I still see myself as that chick who still carries the 102 lbs I have lost so far.

I am working to get over it and, *ahem*, maybe a few more lbs and I will request to be picked up :thumbup:

I have the same trouble...my stomach is the LAST to lose!! I have started doing targeted stomach exercises like crunches, reverse curls, etc... You can do them right in your home!! I haven't seen any drastic results yet, but I know that it can't hurt!!!

Good luck!!
