As a proud member of the 'Slow Losers', I promised to start a thread of my NSV's.

I'm wearing clothes I haven't worn in years. Before my surgery I ordered a pair of custom fit khakis from Land's End (if you haven't tried their custom fit service - it's awesome - but I digress) By the time the pants showed up 6 weeks later, I had gained enough weight that they didn't fit. I, of course, blamed it on bad measurements and threw the pants into the closet, meaning to return them. I was digging in my closet yesterday and came across these same khakis. I tried them on - they fell off! and I mean FELL OFF. I'm going to take them to the tailor today and see if she can fix them.

I have bones!! When I lay down flat, I have hip bones! I also have wrist bones and knuckles on my fingers. I'm beginning to see a little clavicle action. and some cheek bones.

I had to retire my XL belt from Target. I got an identical one, size large, and I'm down to the 2nd to the last notch.

I can cross my legs! (this is probably my favorite)

I was at the gym doing some weight work. I picked up the 35 pound dumbell to start - and it hit me - this is how much I've lost. Holy Cow - This thing is HEAVY!

I know I have more - and I'll have to think about them and add to this list like Vines does to hers.

Well done! Kepp them coming! Once you get into the habit of thinking of them, they come flooding through! It will help me alot now that I have a place to post mine. Thanks Vines!

Nice NSV's Kim! I like the leg-crossing thing, too

Excellent work Kim! Please do keep editing your list, you will be amazed at how many you have had once you start to think about it.

Beside, we have to have a paper trail, right? We have to have a list to take with us when we get inveted to be on Oprah, right? Right!

Barkeep! NSVs for the house!

Well done, Kim! hehe.. I find myself laying down at night and stroking my hip bones now. I absolutely love that I can feel them

Keep up the great work!

Parvathi -

Too funny. Glad to know I'm not alone in my new found self-adulation!

Good work Kim! Great NSVs!

Bumping cause I have new NSV's

I went out on New Year's Eve. We went to dinner and I had a bandster portion of ravioli, some salad and a glass of wine. After dinner we went to this very chic opening of an art gallery. The gallery owners are friends and they are very wealthy. They did everything in a grand style, they had a band, an open bar with very expensive champagne and a beautifully catered buffet table. They also had the waiters and waitresses bringing around trays of the little delights. Now this has always been my very favorite type of food. We're talking crab and artichoke dip, baked brie, bacon wrapped scallops, shrimp scampi, YUM! You get the idea.

Well, I was still full from dinner. Not only did I not eat any of that yummy food all night, but - here's the amazing part - I didn't even want any and I didn't feel deprived or anything!

One night of victory over the food demon!!! Yeah ME! (and my band, of course)

You are doing so good! I don't think I would have been that good! Great NSVs for the New Year! Thanks for updating!

You go girl!! Keep up the great work!

I'm down 1 pound past my lowest! Today for the first time, my wedding ring slipped and the diamond ended up on the palm-side of my hand. I'll have another please (pound of fat gone, that is.)

Oh Kim that is wonderful isn't it! I remember the first time that happened to me, we went to a private showing at the SAM (Seattle Art Musium) because the DH supports it through the matching charity giving at his work.

I know how exciting that is for you! Well done, and weare waiting for the newest installemtn!
