Anyone else intimidated by the skinny's at the gym??
B-Man replied to JMinDallas's topic in Fitness & Exercise
This thread reminds me of a story. I have told myself a NSV would be the first time I got hit on at the gym. Well I got to tell everyone (including my wife) that my day had come. I finally got hit on at the gym. Good thing right? NOT!!!! I should be excited, but it turned out to be a late 40's dude dressed like Richard Simmons while I was in the locker room. NOT COOL!!!! Lol.. at least it makes for a good story. I personally like the skinny/sexy people at the gym. Nothing motivates me more than seeing these hot bodies and thinking if I push harder, work longer... one day people will look at me that way. -
Good Morning Peeps Yesterday gym - then home shower - then out the door again to get Andrew's kitchen table then a little Marshall's shopping - got home around 3:30ish - washings - dinner - tv bed..

How often do you get on the scale?
juliarh replied to a.walker's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I usually weigh in once in the morning, but sometimes I will weigh right before bed and try to calculate how much I'll weigh in the morning (which never works). I'm obsessed with the scale as well -- I'm gonna try to limit my exposure to it () by doing it only once a week -- that way I can revel in the NSVs and not have my mood be hampered by a number that I KNOW will go down eventually! -
NSV is short for Non-Scale Victory... anything weight loss related that does not relate to numbers on a scale.

What is a NSV? Sorry..

I had my first NSV today. My ring slide of my finger without having to wet it with something first!
-
OK - first of all - Mary....girl! You need to post those 15 lbs you lost preoperatively!!!!!! I used to not have them added into my tracker either, but then I realized I worked hard to lose those before surgery and so did you!!! They still count - so put em on there girl!!! Next - my latest NSV - I was at a beauty salon today waiting for my appt, havent been there in 6 weeks. My gal looked right past me, then back, then looked confused and called my name. When we got back into her room she told me that she didn't even recognize me because I looked so different!! I was smiling from the inside out!!!

I know one thing...I don't think I will ever use my credit card in Vegas again. I had the cash on me but I used my card to get air miles. The one and only time I used it was to buy lunch that last day...just one time...damn. Joyce and Arlene...hope you get it cleared up. Joyce...congrats on the NSV...good feeling when ppl start to notice. It's gives you a little bump of encouragement also. Keep it going! Sorry for the stress....we've had our share this summer. Once the charges, etc. are in place with these silly stalkers, I will feel more at ease. It has helped that I am too busy to think. Eva...wonderful photos. Those elderly ppl dancing were so cute. What great memories you have made with all your travels. I feel fortunate that DH loves to travel, loves museums, is willing to go do whatever (when I can get him away from his work). Also fortunate we have our winters free. It will be a quite weekend on the thread, I imagine. Julie has the wedding, Great is visiting parents, Laura is chasing DH around the house, Phyll is tending to her DH. I'll be around some to junk up the thread in between loads of corn. Lucky you guys! How are you doing TX? Keeping your energy up? Your first days seemed to go really well for you. Just wondering. "Apples2 Tip of the Day" With the holidays approaching I thought I would post a band friendly recipe. I have made this for my family and they didn't know it was low fat/no sugar. Cranberry Apple Pie 1 pkg low fat refrigerated pie crust 1 cup splenda with Fiber 1 Tbls all- purpose flour 1/2 Tsp ground cinnamon 5 large Granny Smith apples-peeled, cored and sliced 1 cup chopped raw cranberries Preheat oven to 400 Put one piecrust into a 9-inch pie plate Combine all filling ingredients in a large bowl. Toss well and put into pie crust. Brush top crust with 1 egg white and sprinkle 1/4 cup Slenda over it. Place remaining crust over filling and crimp edges. Bake 40-50 minutes until crust is golden brown. Cover edges with aluminum foil or a edge protector if you have one. Cool one hour b/4 serving. I stole this recipe from the O magazine and revamped it a bit. About 280-300 calories per slice (serves 8).

List your NSV's here!
sprinkles replied to vlp1968's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My husband and I were in the grocery store the other night and we got separated. He couldn't find me.......he said he didn't recognize me because I look slender now!!:w00t: Still have a LONG way to go, but this was a huge NSV for me! -

LoserHeather37 replied to vlp1968's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had an NSV just today. I've had previous MRI's on my knees and they've been unable to fit my leg comfortably in the knee coil....until today!!! I had an MRI today and my leg fit perfectly in the coil! No pinching, or having to stuff the fat down to get the coil to strap on. It was such a little thing, but a HUGE deal to me!!! -
My NSV: My fat belts now need extra holes put in them as they are too big even on the smallest hole. This leads to another NSV, my 16 and 18 pants are too big in the waist, thus the belt. Love reading these.

Melissannde replied to vlp1968's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
All these NSV's make me smile. I'd type out a few, but I'm about to go get ready for a HUGE NSV .. going to walk (and maybe run a little) in my first 5K tomorrow!! (if it doesn't rain big time). -
So, in my new retired life....right......I went for a walk today. Yeah me. You would think after all that walking in Argentina with a heavy back pack it would be a breeze to walk today. Nope, not, nadda. I only walked 30 minutes and can feel it. It's not like I'm done in for the day, but I thought this walk would be easy and I was surprised it wasn't that easy. Joyce, it might be a great idea to go to Guam after moving your son back to KC. You won't have to deal with the stuff that may come up from that. Congrats on the NSV....it is a very positive reinforcement when people notice. See I'm jealous of you going to Guam, another exotic place to visit. Arlene, we bought the camera used from a friend and it's a Olympus E-300. I think it is only a 5meg digital camera, but it has all the bells and whistles. It can be used on auto or you can do all the settings manually. DH is very good with a camera and he took most of these pictures, but not all. It's big and heavy and not a lot of fun to carry around, but it does take great photos. I'm thrilled with the digital media because you get instant gratification from your shots. If you want to touch them, you can always have them printed. So I submitted a resume today. I can't believe I'm doing this already. But, I got my insurance information and I have to pay a lot each month to keep my insurance and when the service center called me today, they told me I only had 9 years of service and was not entitled to retirement benefits. I came unglued and started crying. So now that I'm over that, I'm taking this up the ladder to as high as I have to. I wonder what happened to my other 25 years. This will be resolved. Okay, on to another project...mainly laundry. Later, ee

Eva - love, love the pictures. Wish I could have shared lunch with you at that lovely place. Wow WARNING - my Visa credit card was (also) compromised in Las Vegas (I bet). Apples mentioned she had problems upon returning from Vegas. Card was just denied at the groomers. Charges in Canada, and India, as well as, the US. Watch you bills, ladies. For those who used credit cards in Vegas. A little good news to share, yesterday and today ppl have mentioned that I'm sure losing weight. NO ONE has noticed anything before this. NSV yippee LauraK - drama may reach fever pitch beginning Sunday. We are moving 42 yr. old son from Nevada back to K.C. to start his life over. I'll be finding an apartment for him and his dog next week and getting him settled. Then pack and leave for Guam on the 1st. Running away from it all.

Success Story... I think
AutumnLily replied to lil red raider's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I would call this an interesting NSV. Someone has noticed your weightloss and wants you to show off your new body. Albeit yelling might have been a bit much. Congratulations on the wonderful weightloss. Keep us posted. Lily -
I had decided to not shop for a while. I figured it had been summer, and why buy new capris/shorts, only for them to not fit me next summer. I've been using belts to cinch them up and keep from falling off! Anyways, I finally decided to go shopping yesterday to buy a new dress for a religious convention we have this weekend. I couldn't believe I fit into size 14 and 16's (without the W), when I had been wearing 22/24. That was a really good eye opener for me. I hadn't been losing as much these past few wks than I had previously, so I was not quite feeling down, but not really 'seeing' a difference in me. Boy oh boy did that change yesterday!! It felt so good to buy 2 cute dresses (they were on clearance!) and feel good in them. I tried them on for hubby last night, and he was like "wow!" I even bought a few new undies & much needed bra's. So everyone - go shopping! It can really help to show you the difference you've made, even if the scale isn't showing it as much. :wink2:

We just came back from Disney and I rode all the coasters with absolutely no problem! That was a great NSV moment for me because I didn't 'just barely fit'...I fit comfortably! First time in 17 years that I've been able to ride the coasters! Woot! I was a bit worried about those that had restraints that went over the shoulders, fearing the bottom part would push against my port, but they were all fine. Enjoy! .

christie~ i thought of that as soon as i hit post...so it was a mix of NSV and SV...haha thanks for the happiness for me! :smile:
-
Way to go! I can't wait to join you in Onederland! Thank you for the inspiration. BTW, I'm not so sure I'd call that a "NSV". It seems like a pretty specific SV! :smile:
-
well today I woke up with a horroble sinus infection....and all I wanted to do was lay there and sleep. today was weigh in day so I stripped and stepped on the scale and it read 199.3!!! woohoo! so I preceeded to get on my workout clothes and tennidls shoes and did my normal 2 hour workout. now, I will admit I walked my 30 minutes on the treadmill instead of my normal jog/sprint. as I sit here drinking my hot tea watching trashy reality tv, not feeling well at all...i'm proud of myslef and feel good that I still worked out....and that I'm in ONEDERLAND!!!! :smile:

That wasn't me, but that is the most awesome thing ever. Band Jovi! Haha!! Love it. Good luck with the surgery! You are going to be hitting those NSVs before you know it!!
-
Yes, tomorrow I will officially be a bandster. I'd love to come up with a cute name for it, like LoseIt did ... Band Jovi was it? LOL I dont know. Anyways .. tomorrow I will have it. Tomorrow is the start to the rest of my life. I am praying the Lord helps me stay disciplined, to do what I'm supposed to do and follow the rules so I can have the most benefit and success from this experience. I have been thinking lately about my NSV and my SV. I dont know if I have a set amount I would like to lose weekly, I'd love to lose at least 5lb ... but I know that probably wont be realistic. During the two week liquid diet I started on the 5th I lost 5 lbs as of the 14th. I think I am still losing though but will sure tomorrow what the final count is. So lets just say that I lost 2.5 lbs each week, thats way more than I was losing before and right in the healthy range. I think thats what I will shoot for my SV. As far as NSV ... I'd love to be able to cross my legs and not strain my quads or hams doing so, not having to hold my knee or stabilize my foot on something just to keep my legs crossed. Id love to be able to wrap a normal size towel around my body after a shower and have no skin showing! I'd love to be able to not lose my breath walking fast, trying to keep up with my husband. Id love to be able to shop at a normal store and wear single digit sized clothes! I'm very short so I think a normal size for me might be around 4 or 6 ... I'd love a 6, would be happy with an 8 I think. Ahh I'm fooling myself. I want a 6 :thumbup: I want to be able to drive without my stomach touching the steering wheel. I want my daughter to say "mommy what why dont you have two belly's anymore" :smile: I want her to be able to hug ME .. not my fat. I dont want my daughter to know what fat is .... I know there are tons more, but that was on my mind today as I prep for surgery. I have to pack my bag today too ... I wonder what I should bring. I'm only staying a night so should I bring comfy pants to wear to bed? What do I wear home? Will I be able to wear my jeans home? Oh, I also have to fill my prescription today so it can be here ready to use. My parents are coming here tonight to help with my daughter, my husband is home from Iraq ... YAY ...

Congratulations!! I just love reading the awesome NSV's. They really keep me motivated to continue on to getting the sleeve. Keep up the great work and keep us posted. Lily

banded, banding, bands--verb--To assemble or unite in a group
Cocoabean replied to LeighaMason's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If HB is Droopy then I get to be Saggy! Leigha is a perfect Snow White! Maybe Saggy goes better with Scooby Do? Hubby can be Grumpy, or is that a Smurf? :wink2: Anway, C. Diff. symptom was just an anomaly, thanks all for the prayers! Whew. I was sceered!!! I really don't want to go through that again. I was running low on probiotics. That nudged me to order more. My recent fill has provided me just THAT much more restriction, which is exactly what I wanted. I am not so hungry between meals now and my meals are smaller. But I am not getting stuck more often (once I adjusted to it, that is ). Pants are a little bit looser. Haven't done a morning, naked weigh-in. It's funny, I really DON'T care! I step on at night in PJs. Which is subject to all sorts of variables. But I can't get to the scale in the mornings due to its location. The weekend if DH is up first is my only chance. I could have yesterday and today, but I found it was too much effort and I don't care what it says. It has no power over me. WOW! WOW! WOW! Talk about an NSV! So, I am thinking I am pretty much at my goal weight. My ticker says 140. But I have been hanging here at 145-147 since around March or so. Maybe I should change the ticker and be done with it! Anyone heard from Anne or Bobbie? Where they been hiding?
