Lets celebrate and recognize non scale victorys...stuff you couldnt do before but now can, weight loss milestones...anything that you're feeling good about since getting your band!!!

Here is mine for the week, my doctor took me off of my high blood pressure medicine.

Erin Marie, your post made me smile. :thumbup: Aren't all those things great??!! :tongue2:

AWESOME, OTW! :w00t:

I'm the local Fire Dept Santa Claus and every year I go around the district on the fire truck the week before Xmas a dn give out candy canes to all the children and attend different parties, etc.

lol......I HAD TO ORDER EXTRA SANTA CLAUS PADDING FOR MY OUTFIT...lol...lol........

Can't have a skinny Santa...now can we.....

I went shopping yesterday and bought a size 10 pants-- much better than W18, I would say

John, aka Santa, that is so funny! What a great story, though. :tongue2:

Elaine -- size 10 --woohoo!! That is awesome!! :w00t: I hope to eventually get to that size.

I'm gone from a size 16 to a size 8! Yeppie

That is awesome, dispatch! :smile:

Keep those NSVs coming! This is the time of year when we can really use them... especially if you saw the scale creep up a little like I did over the holidays. Forget about the number and focus on the other things -- like how far you've come, how great you look, how good you feel, how healthy you are, and maybe even how you can cross your legs now! :biggrin:

My latest NSV is that my DH got me a pair of high-heel knee-high boots for Christmas, which I wore with a minidress to a party this past weekend. I never would have been able to wear that before!

I haven't posted any NSV before. I can get out of a chair , off the couch,out of a low car without a struggle. Often without a thought. Before it was a definite struggle and at times did not know if I would make it.

Thanks Spidey Mom for the kind words. I know you was turning some heads in your high heel boots & the mini dress. Plus I know you felt like a million buck. I know I would have. You keep up the good work and knock them dead. Hope you all have a Happy New Year & less pounds next year.

EPRESCO303 you go I know you are on cloud 9.

Thanks for the positive thoughts Ann. I am up a little, and getting down on myself for not losing fast enough.

On the good side, I am wearing a size 14 today, WOO HOO!!!

I have several huge containers of clothing I will go through this weekend. All are size 12 and 14. COOL.

Oh yes, I will be dropping off 4 huge bags of clothing at the local thrift shop tonight. All Woman's size. I am only 5'1" it is so hard to find short Woman's sizes. Thank goodness I am back in the petite section.

By the way Ann. Good for you on the style of clothing, and boots. Go strutt your stuff. ha ha

Hee hee... thanks for the compliments. It did feel good wearing something sexy for once. Darn... I should have had dh take a picture. lol Next time. :sad:

Bmooney, fantastic! I know you must be feeling great! :wink5:

Rebecca, congrats on size 14! And, just like you, I am taking bags and bags of clothes to the thrift store tomorrow (want to get them in for a tax deduction before the end of the year). Funny thing is, 75% of them I bought from the same thrift store! :w00t: Since I started losing weight, I hate buying things full price, and we have a fab thrift store near us that has really nice clothes.

Keep those NSVs coming! I love to hear them! :tongue2:

Got back to a size 40 band bra. Pants I have gone from a 24 to an 18! I bought a new jacket today, it was in the misses section size XL not 1X! Went to Avenue this weekend and tried on tops, 18/20 was too big! Actually bought a couple tops in size 14/16.

On the Way, that's awesome! Pretty soon, you won't be shopping at Avenue anymore. Keep up the great work!
