Non scale Victory

Just so the scale doesn't rule/dictate our lives. It's not always about the number on the scale, so we are always trying to find non-scale ways to celebrate! ;)

Thank you! I was trying all words I could thing of, I was just sure it had to be Newly Sleeved something or other!

LilMissDiva,

I loved the story! That is a victory. I can't wait to watch people do those double takes when they realize who I am, the new skinnier me. I've a long way to go but hearing eveyone's experiences makes me what it so much more!

"Ok I'm a loser...what does NSV stand for????"

________________

I was right there with you fatBgone! I had no idea what NSV stood for in this forum.

I knew it probably was not:

-----

Non Scalpel Vasectomy

NullSoft Streaming Video - a popular codec in my geek world

Net Sales Value

The NSV 12.7mm a Soviet made heavy machine gun

or

Non Specific Vaginitis: which I suppose could be crazy (especially since I have no Vagina) but didn't seem to fit the message.

Non scale Victory works for me...

---

Speaking of scales, I have a GREAT scale I bought from Amazon that weighs accurately up to 500 lbs...I will post a link to it in another topic. Only problem is it will tell you (in a really loud voice) how much one weighs...

That's a great story! I love it that your own mom didn't recognize you! Way to go on your continued weight loss!

Diva...I imagine it was because your mom was seeing you in a group of people and had to pick you out of the crowd where normally she sees you in "your" environment (home, etc). Either way....what a great compliment! I'd love that.

I had the reverse happen to me recently when I was walking in the mall and saw this woman coming toward me and I thought to myself, "gosh, she looks so much like my aunt Barbara...only much heavier." You guessed it...it was ME reflected in a friggin mirror!

What a bummer! Oh well....a week from today I start my journey to becoming unrecognizable to my family because I've become so svelte! :P

Loved it..hahaha Good luck to you~

THANK YOU sooo much everybody!! Today I have decided that I am going to accept what is, and be proud of all my accomplishments. I am going to run a 5k in less than a month and I am healthier than I've ever been in my life. I can thank my sleeve yes, it has been a major contributor, but there is no one greater contributer than me myself and I.

Feeling good about myself, and appreciating the rewards of all the hard work.

Blessings!!! I hope everyone had a really great weekend. :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
