In order to help me stay focussed to goal, I joined a fitness class yesterday, which meant I got weighed in and then had a motivational talk, and did 45mins aerobics. I am RUBBISH at exercse, I hate it, I avoid it, and become incredibly embarrassed having to wobble around in front of others, so whilst worrying about all of this I managed to wander into the "HIGH IMPACT" half of the class - this is my frst aerobics class in at least 10 years, so I realised I was trapped and about to be humiliated - GREAT!! Anyway after a couple of minutes embarrassment I look around a realise that I am actually doing well, I'm working hard, but its not killing me, I'm working up a sweat, but I am not woofing like a walrus just to get my breath, and before I knew it the class was over, I'd high impacted my way through it without a hitch! MASSIVE NSV! I held my own, had fun, and at the end the instructor came up to me and said "wow Claire, I can really tell how often you must work out, you were great!" - I didn't have the heart to tell her that I move less than your average sloth most days! Needless to say I'll be going back next week

We could start a weekly weigh in plus any updates...sv, nsv, rants, raves, etc? Are Saturdays a good day? -
Went to Renaissance Festival, walked around for 4 hours and only had to sit and rest twice, and that's cause it was muggy out. NSV!

I took my 3 grown sons camping a couple wks ago. We were swimming and racing up and down the river when my son stopped me and said "Mom look at our empty chairs just siiting there. I am so proud of you Mom" You see, I am usualy siiting in one of those chairs WATCHING my famlly enjoy vacation. Two miracles happened that trip. My very health/fitness crazed son has never told me was proud of me (he is 26) and I was active the entire trip!

Yay! NSV's are the best! Seeing movement on the scale is great, but getting NSV's compliments are good for the spirit. Congrats, Karen

So I started out in 24 size jeans, the other day i went to our storage unit to pick up some older clothes that use to fit me for when the time comes, and I tried on a pair curious to see how far i needed. Well they fit! 18's! Then I tried on the next, and they fit. I ran into the living room and showed my mom and started dancing around. I then ran back to my room and tried on the rest. They all fit! I 'm so excited! :D

NSV= non scale victory, like getting into your skinny jeans, running a mile, whatever. -
Grocery shopping with my kids is never a pleasant experience. After picking my 13 year old son up from an event yesterday I was forced to take him with me to pick some things up for a party we were having last night. Rather than making deserts, I decided last minute to pick up a variety of things from the bakery section of the grocery store. Everything looked wonderful and I jokingly said to my son "it's never a good idea to let me run loose in the bakery while I'm on a diet". My son replied "Uh, mom, you don't need to be on a diet anymore and should be able to eat this if you want to. Just saying..." I have always felt bad that I was overweight when all the friends moms looked like supermodels. Hearing my son say I shouldn't be on a "diet" anymore was priceless! Lisa

Last week, I only lost 0.1kg, which is nothing really. I was a bit worried that I'd stopped losing weight until my first fill, but this week it's dropped off again. I don't weigh-in "officially" until tomorrow, but I jumped on the scales this morning and I'm already down 1kg Very pleased about that. I started a thread yesterday about my first NSV - my neighbour stopped me in my driveway and complimented me on "getting skinner", which was thrilling! I'm fitting into clothes I've never worn before (bought them without trying them on and then found out they were too tight)... And a funny one - my bras are fitting better (less side/back fat), but my boobs actually look bigger! Because my belly is shrinking! FINALLY, I've been waiting for the belly to shrink for 4 years since my daughter was born!!! I stayed looking pregnant all that time! SOOOO pleased with how this is all turning out!

I KNOW I'm not supposed to compare my weightloss to others buuuuut.....

Love your "chin" comment! I too have lost one of my two chins. Actually the first place my husband noticed my weight loss was in my face. Sunny, I'm a slow loser too and I was sleeved almost 10 days before you! It's a drag when I don't see the scale moving but I try to concentrate on other NSV's. Like the fact that ONE of my chins is gone (still have 2). lol. and the fact that my clothes fit better than they have in years. I'm sure your body is like mine and it's taking its time to adjust. WE WILL LOSE this weight. And this might sound funny to you, but I found when I was able to start eating, and my calories and carbs went up, that is when the scale moves. Did you join myfitnesspal? If so, look for me on there. My user name is prinxessdeb. Good luck sweetie and keep up the great work! -
NSV is for Non scale Victory. Pretty exciting when it happens. Tanya

Sleeve is not cooperating today
HDubSleevery replied to HDubSleevery's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oooh the dehydration could be a factor. Between the head cold, the Nyquil, and an experiment with the blender and a decaf coffee smoothie last night I may have needed some fluids. I had some applesauce, some watermelon, and some yogurt today so I think things settled down later in the morning. The GREAT news is that I finally get it! I made a variation of Eggface's ricotta bake for dinner and put two tablespoons on my plate. I was thinking a tablespoon would be about an ounce. I ate half of what was on my plate and I got that "don't eat another bite" feeling. I used to have a problem with binging so I really had to think about not putting the next bite in my mouth. My brain said "do it" and my stomach said "don't you dare". I cleared my plate and have been fine ever since! I am gonna count this as an NSV. It was the first time that I really felt like I was having a normal meal since the pre-op diet. I can see light at the end of the tunnel and it is SO great! (I have a 2 year old and so I use the same plates and silverware that she does. It helps me feel like I am having a "right size" portion. LOL!) This board ROCKS! -

That's awesome. It's the first in a long line of NSV's you're going to experience. Things like that really help to keep you on track! Congrats!

Today was the first time that someone who doesn't know about the surgery has noticed my weight loss! My friends who know about the surgery are REALLY watching me, to see if they can see the weight falling off. I'm almost self-conscious that I haven't lost "enough" to "show" them or something. But today, I was walking down my driveway, and my neighbour stopped me and commented that I've been getting thinner, and good on me! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!! You couldn't wipe the smile off my face for about 3 hours! :D

Hi Guys and Gals, My most recent pics I feel great! I had such an awesome week between self realization, NSV's, my doc's appointment, and I lost 2 more pounds!

My first ever size Extra Small . . . on my ankle
SKCUNNINGHAM posted a topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I went to the orthopedic doc again today, to see if I could get out of the d**n boot cast (from spraining my ankle a month ago cleaning my closet to find skinny clothes). No luck - one more week with the boot. Then, four weeks in an ankle stabilizer. This contraption laces up like a toe-less boot, with laces from above my toes to my shin. Then, it has three straps to completely imobilize the ankle joint. Anyway, the point is, the tech needed a size EXTRA SMALL stabilizer! It took him three different ones to get one that fit. I have never been a size extra small EVER IN ANYTHING! I entered this world weighing 9 pounds and kept going from there. No part of my body is extra small - except maybe my eyelashes or my patience. This is a silly NSV, but it pleased me so much, I laughed out loud. :lol: -
I got the new Lane Bryant catalog today in the mail....I thumbed through it...and tossed in the trash!! Woo Hoo....don't have to shop at LB anymore. It felt good
