I can finally post an NSV list

[ralheit 0]

The other day, I had 3 people stop me to tell me they can see my weight loss.

I am able finally to walk some distance without my cane :crutch: :clap2:

And my drawers are getting droopy:clap2: :clap2:

I've really been waiting to see a difference in my arthritis pain and getting to the point where I didn't have to depend on my cane, I'm getting old, but I hate looking like an old woman with that thing.

Congrats to you on your NSVs!!! That's just super!

My arthritis is still just as bad in my knees...I usually get cortisone in my knees, but it wears off after about a month. I go back to work on Aug. 28th, so on the 23rd I'm getting shots so I'm ready to go. Maybe it will last a bit longer now that I'm getting a bit lighter. I know I need a new knee, but I have to get through another school year before I can think about whether or not we're scheduling it for next summer or not.

You are doing great!! Keep up the good work and keep us posted!

I was looking for an NSV thread last night, too.

My stomach used to buldge over the steering wheel when I drove, and now at just shy of 35 lbs down I can fit my hand in between my stomach and the wheel! That's so cool!! There was a time when DH and I were dating 20 years ago where I could fit inbetween him and the steering wheel when we'd go parking!! Those were the good 'ol days

Thanks. I used to get the cortisone as well, and they don't last very long. I tried some of those new injections that are supposed to last for 6 months to a year. They didn't work. 5 injections over a couple of weeks and absolutely no results. So this nsv is the best.

Wow, that is great. It has to feel so good to slip behind that wheel and see that space. Good for you.:clap2:

Robin - good job on the weight loss and on recognizing your nsv. Keep up the good work.

Robin - congratulations on your NSV's. Sometimes those are better than watching the scales. Simple stuff, too. Like being able to get in/out of a car without multiple pushes!

Best wishes
