Lilee84 648 Posted April 16, 2012 What has been your proudest NSV yet? For me, I can't decide if it was finally finding my collar bones (this weekend, woohoo!) or fitting into my pre-pregnancy clothes last weekend... Right now they're tied. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DallasMomofTwins 31 Posted April 16, 2012 For me, it was no longer shopping in the plus sizes and no longer buying clothes with an "x" in them ...next one will be getting to onederland...only .8 away!!! 1 Doreykn reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmanbat 5,889 Posted April 16, 2012 I had a pretty good one yesterday. I mowed the lawn without heavy breathing and had energy to take my granddaughter to Dairy Queen, ( I know what you're thinking, I just had 1/2 cup of chili ). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diochick 40 Posted April 16, 2012 For me it was reaching a small goal of 240 lbs. 40 lbs lighter than when I started this journey, and I haven't weighed this since before I got pregnant with my oldest daughter, almost 6 years ago. 1 rodswife reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thinoneday 445 Posted April 16, 2012 I had many, but the best one must of been when I "thought" I could fit into this really nice pair of shorts which I had never worn because they were alway so tight, so when i put them on, they fell right off. . . I HAD MISSED THE SIZE! then of course there was the fit into the plane seat with about 7" of seatbelt left over, AND the tray came all the way down with lots of room to spare! That made my day. . . also, I was going over the HR dept one day to deliver some paper work and when I was coming back I was standing outside and realized I had just climbed 4 flights of stairs and wasn't huffing and puffing. . . I was amazed at that. . I mean I didn't even realize i had done the stairs, my mind was elsewhere! That was cool. . . there are many many more, and I'm grateful for each and every one of them! 2 fluffylibra30 and diochick reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kdippy 36 Posted April 16, 2012 I have never liked exercise, and still don't, but I started riding my bike about a month ago, and I love it. I ride almost everynight, and I'm at 13 miles per ride. I even bought a pair of biking shorts yesterday. I could see between my legs, that have always rubbed together. lol starting weight 260 12/12/11 surgery 4/12/12 4 month loss 62 goal 150 48 to go.

Doreykn 113 Posted April 16, 2012 Being able to shop for regular size clothes. Size 14 jeans made me soooo happy!

Vance_ 217 Posted April 16, 2012 I think for me it's just the desire and ability to do things again. I am currently working on building a pavilion in our backyard. This is something I physically would not have been able to do 6 months ago. A couple of weeks ago, I worked on my car. Again, something that my weight would not allow me to do just a few short months ago. I promised my kids that I will take them to Six Flags this summer after I hit 240 (just 4 lbs away!!!) and I will be able to ride the rides!!! My life has changed for the better tremendously! TGFTS!!! 1 gmanbat reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gramaof4 58 Posted April 16, 2012 I would have to say my NSV so far would have to be not taking a pain pills for knee pain since surgery. I usually would take 1-2 a day depending on how much I would be on my feet, and my feet and knees don't ache like they used too. I was always ready for bed by 7 p.m. and bought pizza, fast food for the family so I didn't have to stand at the stove and cook, cuz I was so tired. I am 51 lbs down, 7 weeks post opt, and am reloving fixing fun food for the family! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
