I noticed we're all starting to have NSV's (Non-scale victories) so I thought we might like to share with our January Hottie friends.

We're all fitting into smaller clothes, no longer fighting to fasten our seat belts when driving, and crossing our legs in comfort.

Mine's a strange little one -- I can wear certain shoes of mine again. When I was at my heaviest, my feet would swell and I couldn't wear my prettier or dressier shoes. Even my sneakers were no longer possible. I was stuck wearing Crocs clogs or flip-flops so I could just slide something on and didn't have to grunt and bend over to tie a shoelace.

Now all my Crocs are too big, even at the end of the day. I tie on my sneakers by myself, hop off the chair, and I'm out the door without a thought.

What are your NSV's?

Hey, Perfect! Yeah, things might be looking up. I had a lot to lose and definitely some roadblocks, but I refuse to give up the fight. Even if I continue to lose a mere 5 lbs a month, by next summer I'll still be very close to my goal weight. Here's hoping!

Hi everyone,

I just had to share on this thread, cause I'm so excited! I went shopping yesterday for clothes for the first time since surgery. ( I have gone through all my old, "smaller than now" clothes, that were in bags deep in my closet.)

Well, I had some extra money, my daughter was visiting, it was the perfect storm for shopping! I HAD SO MUCH FUN! Losing weight has made my life fun again. I grabbed 3 size jeans for the dressing room. size 16 too big, size 14- too big! Ladies I got into a size 12 jeans, without any struggle and they look great!!! I can't remember the last time I wore size 12. It was before HS, I know that for sure!

And the shirts--- I am big breasted so I have always bought 2X. Again I took 3 sizes in with me. All the shirts I bought were size large!!! I cannot even contain my happiness! I was jumping around for joy and just loving life yesterday! I did a fashion show for my hubby, and he REALLY enjoyed it!

This lap band is THE best thing I have ever done for myself! I cannot wait to get into size 10. Won't that be just the bomb? Anyways, I just had to share with y'all. I will have a wonderful day at work today, in my new clothes! I hope you all have a good day too!
