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!!

so, i went shopping on monday...and IAM a size 18!! it was so exciting. i got a pair of pants, thinking they might fit snug or uncomfortable, but they fit perfect!!

WOW Kiki! Good for you!

thanks!! i feel like im shrinking away, lol!!!

GRATS EVERYONE!!

Last weekend I flew to SF to see my baby (ahem, he's 28! LOL) brother and his wife. I was there for her baby shower.

I came out of the BART station headed towards him and he looked right past me. I had to say, "Yo, Giacomo...." He just gaped!!

That was great!

Tonight is Phoenix and friends I haven't seen in almost 2 months!

KIKIVAL you are looking great! haven't been on in a while and now I see your new picture where you are showing your face not hiding behind a hat!!!! OMG 40+ pounds I am so jealous. Keep up the great work.

Have any of you started losing hair the last week I have lost so much hair. My once thick hair is gone. I pray I don't lose too much more. Went on a thread last night in the hopes of getting some answers. Seems I need to start taking Zinc or Biotin or both.

I have to NSV today! First I noticed that my pants I had on today is ready to be turned out to pasture! YEAH!! I grabbed 2 inches on each side of them. The second is the sterring wheel in the car no longer rubs my belly. So maybe the car will finally realize that I am not a genie. LOL

EXCELLENT! Good for you!

When I weighed in today, I had lost 1.5 more lbs. But the EXCITING part was it two weeks time I had lost .25" in my arms and thighs, an INCH in my waist and HIPS. Gotta be all those DVDs! Gotta love Richard Simmons!

WHA-HOO GALS!!!! I fit nicely into my tub yesterday!!!!!!!!!

I had two NSVs this past week! First, I went for my fill and my doc said NO. He said "you are doing great. You lost 11 pounds in the last month. You don't even NEED a fill". At first I was bummed because I felt like I went there for nothing, but then I realized that wasnt a bad thing :biggrin:

Second, my best friend slept over yesterday. I woke up and was getting dressed for work and he said "You're shrinking!" He looked under the bed and then back at me and said "where did you go?" LOL that made my day

Shopping and BUYING clothes in the regular misses section.............I forgot how much fun clothes shopping can be.

I finally went shopping and the same size fit.:biggrin: Went home, took off tags and wore that outfit to work on Monday. It was too big! how did that happen? maybe I am smaller in the morning! now I'm stuck with an outfit that I won't wear much. I wish there was a clothese exchange for lap banders close to me.

take it to a tailor! then you can reenact that yogurt commercial where she is talking about eating key lime pie etc and how her clothes need to be taken in :omg_smile:

I had another NSV moment today. I was wearing a blouse that I hadn't worn in about 3 weeks. I didn't look at it before going out. When I went to my daughter's home she asked when I was going to get rid of that blouse because it was looking bad because it is so big! Yeah!

Good job everyone else.

I enjoy this thread more than the "how much have you lost" one!!!!

I am trying not to buy too many casual clothes, but I have to look decent for work. My pants are getting so big that I cant stand it anymore. So I went to Kohls looking for affordable work wear and guess what!?! I am in a 18 now! Teens!

way to go Michelle
