Who Wants To Share Some Recent NSVs??



Recommended Posts

I can't help it. . I love hearing about everyone's NSVs (non-scale victories). They are just plain inspiring. If you have some to share, please post away! :sad:

Here are a few recent ones I have had:

- Being able to shop in the regular department and finding out that I am finally back in a size 12 (OMG!!!);

- I can wear heels all day without my feet killing me;

- I can run without my compartmental syndrome (a co-morbidity) cutting off my circulation and pinching my nerves! In fact, I am going to run the Komen Race for The Cure in September!

I could go on, but I really want to hear other people's!

I can see my toes in the shower

I have a regular period again

I can cross my legs like a lady

I have an insane amount of energy

Being winded is a thing of the past

I'm able to dig out old clothes and put them back on

There's a ton more but I'm more interested in what others have to say :sad:

OMG I was in the shower this morning and saw my toes and thought what are those things in the bottom of the shower.

I bought a peddal bike for the first time in 20 years and am riding.

Able to sit in a booth at a restaurant without having to move the table back.

Heal spur not hurting everytime I walk.

So much energy am cleaning areas in the house would never thought of cleaning before.

Just a few and hardly wait for more to come my way:thumbup:

Thanks for posting these. I can't wait for the day I add my own. I'm just starting my journey so it'll be awhile but it WILL happen! Congrats to all of you!

I had my first true NSV yesterday. I made a small road trip out of town to visit an old friend. I was trying to figure out what to wear, and decided to break open my under-the-bed storage bin with my "skinny" clothes on the small chance that something might fit. I was able to fit into one of my most favorite outfits ever, and it fit me perfectly. I haven't been able to wear this outfit since I graduated college in 2006. I was so happy!!

I enjoy reading everyone else's as well as posting my own. Isn't it exciting??!!

Just bought size 18 shorts - started this journey in a tight size 28. Was last in a size 18 about 20-25 years ago.

When out walking, when no one is around, I try running and have jogged in place at home. Not a long time, but I do it!!

I can reach my toenails to paint them.

Seeing my reflection in a window as I pass by - I used to think "who is that?" when I was heavy, but now do the same thing as I'm getting smaller. Not really sure how I have been perceiving myself.

Not constantly wondering what I'm going to have for the next meal or 5!

These are great and I am happy to add that

  • I can fit a 16 with room and haven't been there since 1995
  • I can tie my shoes without feeling like all the blood is rushing to my head
  • I can sit in a restaurant booth without my stomach touching the table.
  • I can fasten the airplane seatbelt without a panic attack
  • I can ride roller coasters again :sad:

I am happy to hear about your compartment syndrome! I suffer from it too and HATE running just because of it...looking forward to possibly running painfree (relatively) myself soon! :sad:

Komen -- are you talking about Ben Komen? I'm such a fan....was inspired by his appearance and talk at a Tom Ferry Coaching event a year or two ago. Good for you, and good luck!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
