jaydee7 63 Posted February 28, 2013 I've always been scared and nervous to go to the doctor because I was scared I had diabetes or high blood pressure or any of that, but yesterday when I went, I wasn't nervous at all. I went in confident && it turned out perfectly. Before surgery, my blood pressure was a little high && since I've been eating great && working out every day, my blood pressure is perfectly normal!(: I just wanted to share my excitement.

laurigee 545 Posted February 28, 2013 Congratulations! You need to remember your excitement about your perfect blood pressure in the future when you may get discouraged about the scale not moving as fast as you want it to! There are a lot of things that measure success and it's not always the numbers on the scale! You have just had your first success story! Keep up the good work, I have a feeling your going to get the hang of this really quick! 2 dee257 and Jim1967 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaydee7 63 Posted February 28, 2013 You're absolutely right! Most of the time. I let the scale be the only way I measure my success. Thank you for the reminder! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim1967 3,569 Posted February 28, 2013 Congratulations!! We refer to these as NSV or Non scale Victories. I think NSV are awesome and even better than the number changing on a scale. Perfect NSV is shrinking out of clothing. My latest was my wedding ring slipping off my finger and not staying on. My Wife wasn't as thrilled as I but we can adjust the ring as we go. But Laurie is certainly right there are so many ways to gauge success!! Congrats again, Jim 2 dee257 and laurigee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can picture your wife using a role of tape to keep it on your finger! For us woman as the fingers get smaller our diamond starts to look larger! A positive thing for any man whose wife is losing weight that has been asking for a larger diamond! 1 Jim1967 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaness2012 609 Posted February 28, 2013 I have had several people tell me how "good" I looked this week despite the scale not moving. I am putting in the work and have to remember there are other ways to measure success. Congrats on walking confidently into the doctors office. That's a big one. 1 laurigee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drummergirl 10 Posted February 28, 2013 Grats!! I'm in the same place scale wise. I am looking for a win right now, but the scale isn't cooperating. My rings did fall off though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaydee7 63 Posted February 28, 2013 We're in the same boat. My rings are falling off too. I'm loving that. I just want the scale to show how I feel. Lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
