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!!

I have had several great NSV!

Got blood work back...

Blood Surgar ... Normal (I am a diabetic)

Cholestrol... Normal

And doctor wants me to take a 1/2 dose of blood pressure medicine and maybe get off completely very soon!

My foot no longer swells up on long days of running around.

I can cross my legs!!!

I can easlie fit into a movie theater seat (no stress)!

My bath towel can wrap all the way around me.

Do any of y'all ever put your hand on your hip, scratch your shoulder or touch yourself anywhere else and it doesn't feel right? Like you can feel bones where you have never felt them before? I am having to get use to the new me. Lovin it... but it is strange sometimes!!

I haven't figured out if this is a good NSV or not. Since I have lost the weight I am no longer hot all the time. I haven't owned a jacket or coat in over 10 years. Well, now I am cold all the time. It is wonderful not being hot all the time but now that I am cold my knees hurt. Since it has been so cold here in Reno, NV I should expect it. It will sure be nice during the summer. I do not tolerate hot weather at all.

Girl i know just what you mean! i felt my bones in places i havent felt in a long old time , i thought i was half dead and the stiffness had just begain!..lol:lol:

I too have bones and cavities I thought never existed on my body...and not shamefull to say...LUV TOUCHING THEM!!!!

How about skipping size 12 jeans and going straight to 10's!!!!!!!!

I lowered my steering wheel. It is no longer on tilt!

I finally fit into a jacket that I had gotten @ 1 of the places I used to manage. I never was able to wear it. They had also given my a heavier coat. I can now pull it down over my boobs! Before I couldn't get it down over my shoulders. It was a smaller size than the jacket. I have had these coats for 4 yrs.

Doing the happy dance:Dancing_biggrin:

Tried on a dress that I´ve been saving. It´s a size 18/20 buttons down the front, and it fit like a dream! Also am wearing size 22 jeans now, which is amazing, as I hadn´t worn jeans in about 15 years!

Yea Global!:thumbdown:

Yeah, Globally yours.

KUDOS to ALL!!!!

Thank you so much! I needed a pick me up. Not been able to do my usual exercise regime, because they diagnosed me with mono, and was told to take it easy. SO, this milestone made me very happy!

OH! Just thought of something. I have been off pop since 1/16/08. That was the night I went to my PreSurgery Seminar. I was a total pop addict, if I can give it up, ANYONE can.

my nsv for today,its more of a confidence thing...yesterday we went to disneyland. even when i was bigger, i would always try to brainwash myself into thinking that i didn't care what others thought about me. deep inside i did. i would be embarassed to go out to public places like those, thinking that other people were thinking "what is that skinny guy doing with that cow?" well, i have to say, i had the most fun ever yesterday with my husband, and didn't EVER think people were judging me! i love the pictures we took, ill put them up soon, and from looking at them, i can't believe how far i've come. its one of the best feelings in the world...

Congrats, Kiki!!!

My latest NSV: Today, I went to a really big mall about an hour from home and me, my hubbby, son, bf and her kids all walked around for HOURS! Everyone was complaining about being tired and thier feet hurting....but not me. I wasn't tired or in any sort of pain. A few months ago, I wouldnt have been able to do that!

Second best thing that happened today- In Macy's I picked up this super cute leather jacket in a Large. It was teeny. I figured I'd try it on to see how much further I had to go before it would fit. Well, guess what!?! It not only fit, but buttoned and looked nice too! If it werent for the $300 plus price tag, I wouldve worn it all the way home! LOL

Congrats everyone!!!

I have had several "small" NSV's that I can share I guess...

-Some of my tennis shoes (men sizes) that I used to wear were so tight because they don't come in wider widths...now some of them are super comfortable and don't squeeze my feet!

-I recently had to buy new belts because my old belts were just too big!! And at surgery time I couldn't even tighten the first notch on the old belts!

-I don't get out of breath when walking up and down stairs, walking to my car in a parking lot, or walking around for long times.

-I can fit comfortably in a movie seat where the arms don't go up...I used to hate going to the movies because my sides would spill over onto the arm rests and hurt so bad!

-I used to always have to buy extra links for my watches...but in my watch I got last year for my birthday I took out 2 links and it's still a little loose now!
