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 also had to remove links on my watch. I need to take my bracelets in to get links removed because they now fall off. I am waiting on doing the bracelets and my rings till I am closer to my goal.

The guys at work were giving me a bad time about my pants being baggy. So, I went to buy more. I thought I would just go from a 16 to a 14. I went down to a 12. I just can't seem to get it that I can go to smaller sizes. I have always tried to wear my clothes baggy because I was uncomfortable and I thought it helped hide my fat from everyone.

WOW 12s! I just bought me some 12s to "work into" but found that they actually FIT!!!

The last time I bought clothes was for my son's wedding and the dress was a size 30. I just went out and bought some new blouses and they are 22's. Can't wait until I can get into size 12.

WOW 12s! I just bought me some 12s to "work into" but found that they actually FIT!!!

Isn't it exciting!!!! I never thought I would see the day that I could wear a size 12.

Had a fun experience this weekend. It has been hot down here, way to hot for the 1st week in March. The smallest size of capri pants I own are a 24. I went shopping for some new pants. I bought sevreal pairs of pants.... all size 14!!:eek: I can't believe it! It was suprising, surreal and mostly fun! I really felt out of my element shopping in those sizes...but I think I can get use to it :confused:! The last time I was wearing a size 14 was probably when I was 14!

My most recent NSV is my last doctor appointment. I had to visit a new ob/gyn and of course I had to tell her I had the band.

She told me my weight and blood pressure are "PERFECT" and when she was doing the breast exam she checked out my scars and was like ok so it was laproscopic and if you hadn't told me that you had lapband surgery I would have thought it was gall bladder surgery because the scars match and your skin is great, no excess, no stretch marks. She went on to tell me her father is a Plastic Surgeon and that he frequently does surgery after weightloss surgery but that i don't need it!!!

I was SUPER happy because it just made me feel soooo good!

I am now down to my last bra. I had several really good bras that I couldn't wear. Some were brand new. I was just to lazy to send them back Thank goodness I had at least 1 sometimes 2 bras in different sizes. Well I have gone down 8 band sizes and like I said I am on my last bra. The good thing about this is I can now buy from regular stores again instead of having to order them or go to Catherine's and pray they have my size in store. No more having to spend $35.00-$50.00 per bra. I will spend that if I want to or I can spend $20.00. YEAY!

everyone is doing such a great job! i think i need to re-set my weight goal, the plan was to get into a size 16 and weight 199! well.... im a size 16 and down to 244 hummmm... i wonder what size will i be @199

I had my blood work done and went to the liver doctor for the results. For the first time in 12 years my liver counts are normal:smile2:. I do not have to get scoped this year or need a biopsy. I also don't have to go back to see him for a year instead of every three months. Losing the weight has been a bonus, the health issues that have gone away has been my biggest successes. I went to Disneyland with my grandkids a couple of weeks ago and this time I didn't get stuck on the "Alice in Wonderland" ride. 18 months ago I was unable to get out of the ride car, it was so embarassing.

I started back to Curves in December and get weighed & measured every other month. I used to avoid this & only do it a couple of times per year. I lost over 12 lbs & inches in Feb/March! I am the top loser in the club for the very first time. Unbelievable!

It sure has been awhile since anyone posted on here. I have 2 new NSVs.

The first is I seen 2 people that I haven't seen in yrs. Seen them at different times and both commented on how much weight I have lost and how good I looked.

The next one is I tried on some shirts I have hanging in the closet and 2 more of them fit! YAY ma!
