tengles 0 Posted October 22, 2011 I was in the tub today and I can now lay my hands along side myself. Before I would have to have them behind my back or laying on my big belly. Seems silly, but it was a great feeling for me today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corrigan 75 Posted October 22, 2011 I know that's a thrill, we lugged all this fat around for so long, I'm sitting here, watching a football game, in a shirt I couldn't button last year, now it's a bit large on me. Things are definately looking up. Next year I'll use it for a blanket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
healthy and happy 64 Posted October 22, 2011 I travel a lot for work and just recently I attended a conference with a lot of people that I havent seen in about 6 months. I walked by one of my co-workers and spoke to him. He glanced over and barely spoke. Later on break he came up to me and said "I apologize for not speaking to you earlier. I just simply didnt recognize you. You look incredible." That happened to me several times that day. It felt pretty great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vlp1968 83 Posted October 22, 2011 I was in the tub today and I can now lay my hands along side myself. Before I would have to have them behind my back or laying on my big belly. Seems silly, but it was a great feeling for me today. It's not silly at all- that's a great NSV- your shrinking! I haven't had an nsv for a while- went on vacation for 2 weeks and am having trouble getting back on track, both with eating right and excersise. Today, so far so good, so hopefully this is the start. I will hit the gym in the morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bromo 17 Posted October 22, 2011 I worked on my closet this morning and could button my smallest 22 jeans with ease where I could not 2 weeks ago. I put all the 3x tops in a bag for the Salvation Army today along with the size 24 pants!! Hurrah for working my way through my closet. Hopefully I will move to the size 20s on the other side in a couple of months. It feels sooooo good. NXVs are the best. Congratulations to all of us!!

HeavyDutyQ-tee 2 Posted October 22, 2011 Just wanted to share a victory with you all... Well I met my 1st goal... So about 3 wks I turned on my Wii game n went thru my past weigh-ins on Wii Fit. I was so shocked when I discovered that I was 42lbs lighter back in February 2011. It sometimes seems so unrealistic that we can gain weight that fast. Well, on that same day 3wks ago when I wanted to see how much I had gained... so stepped on the Wii Fit Board & my heart sank when I was told I was over the weight limit for the Wii Board (330lbs maximum weight) & the computer asked me to step off the board. Well, I'm down 13.9lbs n the Wii Board is No Longer Rejecting Me!!! So excited!!! Might not seem like much but to me it was the best thing ever!!! So overly excited to finally be moving forward with-in my Journey #ThisIsOnlyTheBeginning 1 aswag reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
betheboo 40 Posted October 23, 2011 Today I bought a pair of size 18.jeans! I haven't been in the tens for about 6 yrs @ least! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SageTracey 608 Posted October 23, 2011 I went to buy a pair of shorts for working out and a pair of three quarter length pants for casual. Bought both in size 18 - down from a tight 26 just six months ago. But there were also sales racks so I tried on some tops - size 14! OMG I haven't worn a 14 since early high school!

steph324 1 Posted October 23, 2011 I just made chocolate cake so I can take cake balls (chocolate cake crumbled and mixed with Bailey's liqueor, rolled into balls and dipped in melted chocolate) and I did not ONCE lick the spoon. As soon as I was done with the mixer, I dumped the blades into my dish Water. Same with the spatula and the bowl. Let me tell you, that took willpower! Also yesterday I had several people tell me that I look like a completely different person from even a few weeks ago. Good to know that even though I am not seeing much movement on the scale, the inches are shifting around! Also, my best friend had a pair of sandals that I admired every time she wore them. She bought them in South America, so last year when she visited she brought me back a pair for my birthday. Only problem was, even though they were my size, my foot was too wide for them. Tried them on the other day and they FIT! Who knew you lost weight in your feet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
