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'm not sure if this would be an NSV...it kind of bothered me when it happened. i went to pull my pants up at Wal-Mart and the next thing I knew, they were half-way up my back!! I no longer have that booty-butt blubber to keep them at bay. You know, that "wide gap" that goes on with the pant waistband...it's gone now!!

NSV....when I wrap the towel around myself after my shower IT STAYS WRAPPED! Ok so my clothes are looser too but I am pretty psyched about the towel thing...heeheehee

every1 is doing such and awsome job! way to go MAYbabies!!!

Today in church, sitting there with a dress on, no hose (yuke), I had my feet together on floor. During quiet prayer time, it dawned on me..."hey, my thighs are no longer the only thing touching...my calves actually touch along with them!!"

Another, I finally decided to buy a new pair of "hip" jeans...well, the 16misses were too big, the 14's fit just right!!!!

Had to go through my clothes for the SECOND time since surgery, getting rid of the ones that are too big.

A friend recently gave me a bunch of clothes that about 4 sizes smaller than when I started this process. HOORAY!

I went to see my therapist yesterday. The 1st thing she asked me was..."Does this hurt yet?" patting her own tailbone. I was delighted to tell her..."YES, esp sitting here on your (hard) sofa!" She then said, "that's why you see all us small ladies squirming in our chairs!"

oh another, went to (sorry) scratch my armpit...my hand went into this cavity...what the heck...never had one of those before in my armpit-LOL!!

Arm pit cavities! I love it!!!!!!!!!!

Here's one: I can see my collar bones!

here's a sad one:

bra cups are too big!

Kiki- I feel your pain!!! I have gone from a 46DD, sometimes even a 44DDD to a 38D!! My poor boobies have deflated. I guess I knew that they never stood a chance, anytime I lose weight they are the first to go...I better start saving for some new ones!:teeth_smile:

yeah, no kidding, lol, i've started saving already!!!

Yeay me! I can wear some of my rings again! Granted only on 1 hand right now but I couldn't wear them at all before!

I'm hanging in there, trying to KEEP off the pounds that I've lost. Been eating more over the past two weeks than before, so maybe time for another fill.

update weight

My husband drove my car this weekend and nearly crushed himself up against the steering wheel. He looked over at me and said, "Good grief. You've lost a lot of weight". He's 6'1" and I'm 5'3". I used to keep the seat as far back as he would sit just to accommodate my stomach. Now I'm up A LOT closer and he's just amazed.

Feels so good.

Now if the stinkin' scale would just budge!!

Having friends (especially those who haven't seen me in person since surgery) see new pics of me asking, "Who's that?"

Um.... me!
