How about some NSVs!?!?

[LilBoo007 491]

He used to... So I took it away only because it causes me to get migraines.... Any heavy smells do! I kept telling him how to properly wear cologne and finally the last few months it sank in! He loves to look at himself in the mirror and match his shoes to his outfits... I think he has more shoes than everyone in the house put together... And his clothes MUST be name brand... If I didn't know any better I would think I was raising a teenage girl! He's also on the football team(second year) and he thinks he's all that ! But I love him to death ; )

He's the one with the red hair, the blonde is his little brother.. Totally different personalities!!!

He's the one with no number on his jersey

I went on a steep 3 mile hike up the Rocky mountains. I've never been hiking before. My kids couldn't believe it when i woke them up saying let's go hiking in the mountains. People (strangers) along the way would stop and encourage me saying great job lady, you can make it. It was incredible. I can hardly wait to do it again, and eventually get all the way to the top!

Good looking boys! Mine is 22 and in the USMC. He never got the knack of using cologne properly... he STILL reeks of it. As for clothes, the only requirement he has is that they be skin-tight to show off his huge muscles. :-)

I finally have a NSV to share! Granted I'm one week post op today????I however lost 20 pounds on my own since June but few have commented. I went to a barbecue today and upon my arrival saw two of my sisters that have not commented on my weightloss in the past couple of months nor do they no about my surgery. But today they both said "d*** you have lost weight. It looks like you've lost over 15 pounds or so". Now here's the really good part they said they thought I was my daughter from a distance. I had to laugh at that one because I'm 130 larger than her. Just for them to notice anything at all is a vast improvement . I haven't been on the scale to tell you just how much I've lost since surgery but I'll find out tomorrow when I go to the dr.

I have a few NSV's to share. I am 2 months out I lost a lot of weight before surgery. My total now is 110 pds lost. My shoe size went from a 10 to a 9. My scrubs for work were 4x and now is a size Large. I am now starting to shop in the misses dept instead of the Plus size dept. I just can't stop smiling I feel so good and am loving my life!!!!

I am now down 70kgs on my weight loss journey, my favorite NSV are my rings falling off as I flick wet hands dry, my necklace sitting a few inches lower on my chest, dropping from size 28 to 16 in jeans something I've not worn since I was 14, and I'm 51 now. My face is so different, people think I've had cheek implants, but it's only my neck and jawline so much smaller, buying clothes in the normal size range,

Yesterday I went shopping for work clothes. I bought size 14 pants and medium tops! I came home and modeled for my 19 year old daughter and when I was telling her how excited I was to have new clothes I started crying. I told her how I have felt that I have been lost for so many years and now that the weight is gone I found myself again! I feel like Peter Pan ... Except instead of growing old and the lost boys showing him that he was still the same inside, I lost weight and the old confident excited me came back to life! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

I shopped at the Salvation Army a few days ago, bought a couple sweatshirts in size large figuring they would fit eventually. After washing them, I tried them on and they fit now! I was thrilled! Of course, it it still a bit too warm to wear them, but I will be wearing them soon enough.
