  1. I had a great NSV last weekend. Before my surgery my BP was very high, also I could not walk to the back of the grocery store without getting out of breath. Last Saturday DH and I went to a Fall Festival with GD to see her gymnastics class perform. I had to walk so far and I was not out of breath at all. That was so exciting for me !! BP is doing much better, should be getting off of it soon. Share your stories everyone, enjoy hearing everyones NSV's.

    NSV - I think! ARGH!

    Last weekend my family threw a big birthday party for my father's 70th birthday. I took my new beau along to meet people and everyone got on well, it was a great party. I hadn't seen many of the people there for quite a while, so for most of the night I was getting wonderful compliments and support from everyone (my family is GREAT like that!!). They were all "oh you look wonderful!", "You look fabulous!", "Well done!!", "Good on you!!", etc. That was fine and dandy, no problems, as I have told the beau about the surgery and that I was a big ol fatty this time last year. He's been really supportive and says he can see the determination in my eyes and that he totally admires someone who shows that they are willing to do what it takes to change life for the better. So far so good, eh? It all got just a little bit too much though, when my parent's next door neighbour came up to me at the end of the night, gushing over with "OMG, I didn't recognise you! What a difference!! I was looking all around the party and wondering where you were but someone had to tell me it was you!! You look SO different!!" GAH! I was squirming with embarrassment, with the beau standing next to me listening to this all. I mean, compliments are nice and all, but did she HAVE to make it quite so obvious just how huge and revolting I was before? *cringes*

    Daily News!

    Congrats on the great NSV, Katies. I bet you felt 20 yrs younger on you vacation. We spend a lot of time in FL but have never been to the Keys. Plan on putting some time at the Keys in Jan or Feb. We have a son that can fly us there and pick us up again so we don't have to do the drive from Ocala. Would love to parasail but not sure if I should. Did the sling shot a couple of years ago while in FL (shot me 360' in the air) and had trouble with verdigo after that for about 9 months.

    A HUGE compliment from my doc...

    What a great NSV.. even though it was a bit scale related... great anyway! WTG!
  5. Had a great feeling NSV today! I have had two co-workers compliment me on my weightloss today. It has been hard for them to really judge my weightloss because they see me every day and they haven't really commented that I've lost anything until today. It made me feel REALLY good to have them finally notice!! In fact when I told them the amount I've lost BOTH of them said it looked like much more than 70 something pounds!!! Yay for me!

    risky......anyone ever have a threesome?

    #1 this has to do with the bad. After you lose the weight you have to have NSV. #2 if you dont like the topic dont read it. So YES this is an experience and a journey that I want to take after losing all the weight. gosh people make me sick when they dont like something they have to stop others when they have full complete control over what they click on, listen to or read.

    My butt is changing shape

    What a great NSV Aubrie!
  8. Not my first NSV, but I am excited about it. We went to an amusement park and I fit on all the rides!! WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
  9. I had an NSV today - I got into a pair of pants I haven't worn in at least six years! They're still 24s, but still, they haven't fit since school. Also - they, along with a navy pair and a kakhi pair I have, are the smallest 24s I have ever known of. All my other 24s are loose, but these three pair range from just being comfortable to skin tight. We need truth in sizing legislation!
  10. Mia - that's too funny. I do the same thing to my DH. I ask him - am I as big as her - or even worse, was I as big as her. I don't have a good mental image of myself either. It's hard to wrap your head around. Linebacker - LOL. On your NSV...Good for you! We need to work on our perspectives. Be proud of how far we have come!
  11. Wow Leslie, I bet that felt GREAT!! I am no longer the biggest person in our social circle of friends either, even though I do not see it that way still. I have this horrible habit of asking my husband when we see overweight people if I am bigger than they are because I have no real perception of my size. I look in the mirror and see HUGE but I have no real perception of my actual size. Now that I am getting smaller I am no longer the biggest person anymore. I am still very much overweight but at one time I was the *largest* and its a nice NSV in itself to be smaller than someone, lol. Also today I was looking in the mirror and I actually noticed that my shoulders are smaller framed than before- I used to look in the mirror and see a linebacker- now I definately noticed a difference this morning.
  12. Great NSV Leslie!! And what a compliment!
  13. Oh I had a great NSV this past weekend. I was thinking about it this morning. While in Memphis we decided to ride a horse and carriage from Beale Street back to our hotel. When we went to board he looked at me and my SIL and said okay the smaller people need to get in first and sit on the outside. Me? Smaller? Now SIL is thin...but I looked around me and I was the second smallest of six other adults. Six months ago I would have been the second largest.
  14. Hey guys!! I have a few NSV's to share with ya'll. Yesterday, I saw a few people I haven't seen in a while and one of them called me "skinny minny", lol. I so don't see myself as a skinny minny, but it felt really nice to hear. I have been getting a little attention from men lately too. It's a little overwhelming because I'm not used to it, lol. DH has noticed too and he's so funny about it all. He said he's really gonna have to start shredding some weight to keep up with me, lol. Oh, and today I ran a full 5K!! It took me about 41 minutes to do it. It's so strange to think that I can run for that long. I'm on such a high right now!! Have a great day everyone!!

    July Butterfly NSV's!

    I was a 26/28 top and a 24 bottom, I now wear 20/18 bottom and 22 tops. My closet is empty, my cloths dont fit. I gave them to Goodwill. I'm a school bus driver, I no longer zig-zag down the bus asile. I can actualy walk stright down the asile and dont bounce between the seats. And my belly doesnt touch the steering wheel. I have more energy! OMG! I sleep better, I sleep like the dead! I dont snore anymore and my back no longer hurts in the morning. And the best NSV, my dd hugs me and tells me "Mommy, I can wrap my arms around you when I hug you." :biggrin: Thats the best one of all. Tina

    Couch to 5k.....come join me!!

    Georgia... WTG!!!! I knew you could do it! That is an excellent time! I'm so happy for you! You are going to rock this race in Nov. Bea... excellent speed! You're going to be so fast you'll be a blurrr going by! Keep it up. I agree with the NSV... the energy and non-huffing is so great!

    Couch to 5k.....come join me!!

    Congrats Aclubb!!! That's awesome! You too Kathy! I'm so happy for you. Lyn - sorry about your race, but your sweet granddaughter is right, there will be more. I did a 5K this morning on the treadmill. I've been doing faster intervals to increase my endurance. I did 7.0 today for 30-45 sec intervals then back down to 6 or 5 depending on how I was feeling. I am amazed at how much better my cardiovascular endurance is now. It takes longer to get my heart rate up, but on the flip-side it returns to normal a lot faster! It feels so good not to be huffing and puffing when going up steps or whatever. Feeling healthy has to be the best NSV ever!! I hope you all have a great day!!

    Dr. John Bagnato - Bagnato Bandits

    Oneder woman I was at the peanut festival on Saturday too! I watched the parade, (well most of it-It got kinda LONG at the end) But I had sort of a NSV that day as well! We parked waaay far south of the parade and then had to walk all the way to hwy 82 and across for the booths- It was a TERRIBLY long way to walk- and I managed to walk all that way and around all the boothes and all the way back to the car without dying!! I even resisted all the yummy smelling food that was out at the festival too! Which was a huge victory for me. I even sat and watched my daughter scarf down a peice of pizza right beside me and didn't even want it! I am the type of person who can watch food network and salivate- so this was pretty huge for me. Before the band pizza was one of my favorite and most eaten foods- now I cannot really stand it. Isn't it funny how that is. I didn't make all good choices this weekend- I had some chocolate at the movies and such but I did get my tail moving so that's at least better than before! I'm planning on getting all my water in and working out during my lunch break so wish me luck guys! Hopefully everyone will have a good day On- Plan!

    About freakin' time!!!!

    Well I do feel a little restriction today though being on liquids this time and actually feeling ok in myself I think I am getting hungrier quicker...then I don't know if it is in my head!...I can't wait to eat something a little more solid! :thumbup: The nurse did my fill. She asked if I minded, I replied "So long as you are a good shot I don't mind!!" It didnt' hurt and was over very quick! She then said book in for your next fill between 3-4 weeks. I booked in at the 3 week mark :biggrin: Doc was in a long consult and they usually do a quick face time and a hi how are you going on your first fill....they said you can do it next time if you don't want to wait...I was like great! out of there and off to work! I got 2cc's put in my 10cc band! Oh and a NSV today...one of the guys at work has been sick and off for the past 8 weeks. He came in today and when I walked in he said hey you're looking great you've lost a bit of weight *Really loudly* I said yes I have...then some of the other guys start saying "oh yeah I guess because I see you every day it isn't as obvious!!" then my friend who knows what I have had done said and your pants are getting SO LOOSE!! hehe maybe it is time I raided the wardrobe again!

    Oneder Woman~ Thanks. That is a great NSV!! You know, I was wondering the same thing. Where is everyone? Jeannie too.....I miss talking to you guys!

    Dr. John Bagnato - Bagnato Bandits

    GG - That is a HUGE nsv! I miss feeling strong like that so much. After my imaginary future babies, as I like to call them, that is my biggest motivator - feeling strong and in control of my body. So WOO HOO for you! That is fabulous!:biggrin: I had one too. We had an entry in the peanut parade in Sylvester on Saturday and I walked the whole route w/o being tired. It isn't far, and it's slow (duh, it's a parade) BUT still I would have had a much harder time last year. People are starting to notice the weight loss, too. I've gotten a lot of comments lately. I don't see it yet, other than in my face, but others are, so that's nice. Ally, L2L, Mia, ABC, Jonathan, Para....how is everyone? WHERE is everyone?

    My Biggest NSV

    You are amazing! That is a fantastic NSV. So when is the first 5K going to happen??? You should be very proud. It's quite a gift you've given yourself.

    July Butterfly NSV's!

    Congrats on all your NSV's!! I was size 22 now down to 18 and can even fit into 16 in some styles. I have not been that small for at least 9 years. I can actually run now. Never have I been able to run during a workout. The biggest NSV for me will be when I can get on my horse without using a fence, or mounting block. That will be a changing point in my life. I am still struggling, but maybe another 6 weeks and it will happen for me. :w00t:
