CharCo 0 Posted October 25, 2010 A girlfriend that I hadn't seen in a few weeks (and doesn't know about my band) said "You look tiny!" Tiny - that's one I haven't heard in years. I still have a long way to go, but it felt really good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TracyNYC 4 Posted October 25, 2010 It is all these seemingly little things that make it worth it. My biggest cheerleaders have been my students. Some know about surgery, but most just know I have lost weight. My boyfriend has been great too. We are long distance right now, so when we get together he really sees it. I was at the movies with my 2 friends a few weeks ago and as we are all "big" I usually feel squished. I was in the middle and felt very comfortable and my thighs did not spill into the others' chairs. Yeah!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stateofzen 46 Posted October 25, 2010 I hope this isn't too TMI, but sexy times are better without all of the extra padding blocking important kinds of stimulation, if you get my drift. 1 va_viv reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angera 2 Posted December 7, 2010 I was laying down and yelled at my husband to run over because i thought i had a tumor in my abdomen................I grabbed his hand and put it on the hard spot of my abdomen........he laughed and said "those are your ribs"! HAHAHA!! The other nsv is: When I went home for thanksgiving, I raided my sister's closer and took everything she doesn't use. I grabbed a size 16 jacket and thought well someday. I put it on this morning and don't look like a total sausage! It doesn't quite button all the way, but hey definately an improvement compared to those size 28 shorts i had to wear this past summer!!!

david314 0 Posted December 8, 2010 My wife bought our grandson some new clothes and got 3 Ts. The next day I bought new pants because mine were really loose. She asked me what size I bought and I told her 36 Ts... 36 Tight...but I'm in 'em! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
va_viv 3 Posted December 8, 2010 Yay I love these, especially because the scale hasn't been moving much. First like some of you have mentioned sex is soooo much better, not only because I've lost some weight but also because I feel more confident in myself...that's the biggest NSV I think. Confidence is something I haven't had in a VERY long time. I took a spin class and kicked its ass! I rocked at it, I know I would've never been able to do it before. My clothes fit differently now, my tops are baggy and my jeans just slide off....no need to unbutton anything. I am starting to wear cute workout clothes, LOL I guess that's the confidence thing again, but no more big long shirts. my mom put her arm around me and said "what the hell is that?" I touched where she had her hand and it was my port. OMG you can feel my port by just pressing down a bit, before you had to DIG for it. I'm wearing heels again, no hooker 6 inchers yet but I'm wearing 2-3 inches at work ALL DAY Boots that I bought a couple of years ago "in hopes to one day wear" fit up my calves...a little tight but they fit!!! 1 va_viv reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
