After reading everyone's post from the Jan-June challenge, I decide to start a new thread. This challenge is from today, June 2 to Labor Day, Sept 1 2008.

That's great, Liz!! I am so excited for you!

I am learning to appreciate the NSVs. I traveled this weekend for the first time since surgery. I was COMFORTABLE in the seat on the airplane, CINCHING my belts on both flights, and generally not self conscious about how I looked or how uncomfortable I was (or made a seat mate). It's great!!

I love hearing about your NSV. I find that I am more inspired by those than the numbers we report. Don't get me wrong, when I weigh myself tomorrow morning I hope to see myself in the 250s (not since.... gods, 10 years ago???), but I am so high on feeling and looking better and these NSVs, I am driven by everyone else's to go for those feelings.

Maybe I am rambling a bit; I am exhausted. But thank you again for sharing. You're awesome!

Hey, Liz & Felicia!! Congratulations! I had a great weekend, and though I am not much for getting on the scale - I was 231 today! I have really been pushing the treadmill because in the end, the exercise will be the critical difference.

NSVs:thumbup:: I have so many. First, I am off one blood pressure med (one to go); Dr wanted to take me off insulin last week, but I want to wait until I am on the regular foods for a month or so; No more swollen ankles and legs...I have ankle bones!! (everyone who knows me knows about my ankles). I am cured of my sleep apnea (probably the hiatal hernia repair), but it still counts for me; I have energy. Right before the surgery, I honestly could not walk one block without stopping. I am off Hormone replacement therapy - seems I am always cold now; My wedding ring is loose and well, I am just happy. No one has noticed my weight loss and I don't see a lot of difference in my clothes, but that will come....

Have a good week!
