My weight loss has slowed down quite a bit but I'm still headed in the right direction!

I'm not finding time to exercise as much as before...I need to recommit to that.

Today is my birthday so I have a feeling I won't be completely "on plan" with my diet today!

Keep going everyone...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :lol::lol::thumbdown:

Happy Birthday Anne! :lol:

I got done at the gym early today and had time to go shopping before I had to pick up my daughter from dance. I fit in a size 16! It may be the only size 16 I fit in, and it may take advantage of some elastic, but darned if those pants didn't fit! So, as slow as I've been losing this month, I am still making progress! Getting closer to saying good-bye to Lane Bryant. :thumbdown:

KarenK, that is awesome!!:thumbup: NSV's are sometimes better than when the scales says you lost, but you do see any outward change!!

I recently fit into an XXL shirt I bought at Costco...in fact, it was loose and comfortable. That's the first time I've been able to buy a clothing item not from a B&T store!!

Keep it up!!:cheers2:

**Anne... Happy Birthday!!**

Hello everyone... its so great to review and catch up on everyone. Aren't those NSV's just THE BEST!! I have been having several lately and they are a true boost to my encouragement level.

My 2nd fill was last week and it has made a huge difference. This is a great boost as well.

Best of Luck and Continued Success to All!

I hate to sound stupid, but what is NSV? I have been trying to figure it out but I am slow. I just don't want to lose out on anything.

Thanks,

Silly "Lone Star Loser"

NSV= Non-scale victory. Like fitting into a smaller size or being able to walk up a flight of stairs without getting winded.

Hi All

I was banded on Oct. 13 at Roosevelt Hospital, by Dr. McGinty. Since then I have lost 38lbs. I have 45 more to go to reach my goal. :confused:

Anne, I agree that we are having a brutal winter. I'm just south of Chicago and we have had so much snow and ice already. I can't wait for winter to be over so I can walk outside again. I new we would pay for that wonderful fall we had here in the midwest! Glad you enjoyed your birthday--oh to be 41 again! (I'm 57.)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
